Hola Spain lovers! I loved making this video. And I realised I would love to make more history-focused videos (as well as food). Would you guys be into that? Let me know with a comment below! 👇🏽Thanks!
James this is by far one of my favorite videos, I love how you showed history with a different view. I really hope this inspires you to do more videos like this and we get to enjoy them as well. Thank you!
Wow! I love history too, loved the way you energized the stories, so professionally done. I think you should have a traveling history segment channel. I'm impressed with the quality, editing and energy you conveyed while telling the story. You're a natural at this, honestly, if I had seen this video for the first time not knowing it was from you. I would've though it was done by BBC or the history channel. Wow, I can't say enough, I was blown away, kudos to you! Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and Yoli.
You succeeded where so many have failed. Great job. The fast pace which is sometimes too much for food is perfect for reviewing historic sights. Loved it.
No sabes lo feliz que me haces con estos vídeos,yo nací en Madrid pero vine a este país con 12 años con mis padres y hermanos como buena Madrileña siempre digo De Madrid al cielo que por muchos años que lleve fuera de mi querido Madrid siempre lo llevo en mi corazón y lo añoro cada día más.Saludos
Un video precioso y muy interesante! Siempre hablas de Madrid (y de españa en general) con mucho cariño, es un gusto que una persona de otro país hable de esta manera de el tuyo. Un beso grande a ti y a Yoli ❤️🇪🇦
For me Madrid is the reeseealllll jewell in Spain. I was absolutelly surprised by this amazing, elegant, vibrant and coooool city,. Id like to live in Madrid one or two years.
I really like that,, please again.. I am from France but a loveee Spain mostly Andalusia, we have 2 things in common, the food and the history,, please don't hesitate to do that again.... Thks to you and yolly...
I’m spanish from Palma de Mallorca (you should go) and I’m living in Australia and I can say Spain is so different and much better the culture the food people omg miss it so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Marvelous video about Madrid James, great shooting and music behind, you are gifted tour guide, telling history with this enthusiasm by story is something special, I love Madrid because of you ,after 4 visit to Madrid in two years, I feel that I need to revisit again after this video, may be I can move in one day,thanks goes to you always, wish your red famous bag will be a trend in 2020, Merry Christmas and happy new year, well done 👏
This inspires me to go back to Madrid! I loved this city so much and didn't realize how much history I missed out on learning! Maybe you'll be doing these kind of tours when I'm there again!
What a great video Kiwi! Food, culture & history are all connected! I read the ones that tried to correct you but, who cares? You did it with a lot of passion & honesty; I felt that you were talking to me!!! Next time, I won’t be taking the Madrid Bus Tour! 🍷🧀🍷🧀🍷🧀🍷🧀🍷🧀🍷🧀🍷🧀
We missed this by a week! We wandered pretty much all of these places on our honeymoon 10 days ago. Love what you and Yoly do. We'll be back in a few years.
What a very interesting video! For a Kiwi your Spanish accent is spot-on awesome! Now I want to go back to Spain and visit Madrid and Granada. I want tapas!!
Hi James & Yoly!!! My husband and I are planning a trip to Spain in April and we have been watching all your videos in preparation! My husband has never been before so he was nervous about the food there, but after watching your videos he gets a sense of what to expect and now he can’t wait to try it all!! Every food & tour video (like this one) I make notes so we can make sure to visit!! Thank you so much for all the great tips! We are huge fans!! -Amalin
Excellent and riveting video! To answer your question, YES, we need more history videos. Similar videos about Sevilla and Barcelona would be a good next step. After that, more in depth videos about Madrid's history could include: Hapsburg Madrid, Bourbon Madrid, Napoleonic Madrid, Revolutionary Madrid, etc.
I found your videos so helpful when I went to Barcelona, and now my son and I from the US are going to Madrid, thank you are so dynamic and give the best information on restaurants and sites to see. You and your wife are the cutest!
Spent a week in Madrid, ending the day before Thanksgiving. Caught myself looking for me in the background of Plaza del Sol and a few other places. Enjoyed the crowds watching the street performers there. Now I have a few new, old places to see on my next visit. Merry Christmas.
Wonderful tour in such a short period of time, and did I hear Yoli in the background. James, your enthusiasm is contagious, and your knowledge of Spain is amazing. This must be reincarnation at its best! Thank you for sharing, see you soon.
My friends and I took your devour tour while in Madrid. The history, scenery, and group was awesome! We all became friends by the end and end up hanging out all night and even stumbled upon a Féria! I’ll never forget that day, thanks for the memories!
Enjoyed the history tour. In Aug we walked to many of the places you featured but without the background info. Will revisit our photos and will look for things you mentioned. I like knowing about those stories of things you see.
Hola James ! Me encanta tu pasión por España y Dominas el castellano muy bien . Somos 500 millones hispanoparlantes en iberoamerica Les recomiendo hacer videos en español .
Great video guys! I find this channel super entertaining :) I have watched most of the videos during quarantine with my spanish husband and we love it. Keep going!!!
There are some incorrect information. For example, the Royal Palace was last inhabited in 1936 by Manuel Azaña, 2nd president of the 2nd Republic. And also there are some quite interesting historical details that are missing. For instance, the sculpture of Felipe IV was casted by Tacca, the math was from Galileo, and the drawing, by non other than Velázquez. About the Tower of Lujanes (9:11), it was used (allegedly) as a state prison for guarding Francis I of France (who was taken prisoner in the battle of Pavía).
@@enekoeneko69 , juas, claro. Toda la razón. Ida de pinza. Gracias por recordármelo. Voy corrigiendo al personal y resulta que el que más lo necesita soy yo. Edito.
Magnífico vídeo!!!!! Enhorabuena!!! Mira que soy de Madrid y aun así me habéis descubierto unos cuantos detalles que no conocía... Cuando tenga visitas ya tengo curiosidades nuevas que contar... jejeje Feliz Navidad!!
Thank you for the informative, beautiful video! One thing I noticed is that this time, you used much more laid back and "on point" background music, and I'm definitely digging that.
I love love this video this is my third time watching it my trip was canceled but I still want to learn more about Spain I’m Cuban and live in Miami but my grandmother was born in La gomera and my grandfather in Galicia
Next time we are in Madrid my wife & I will definitely be booking tours with you. Merry Christmas, feliz navidad, from the Central Coast NSW Australia!!
What a great video! Beautifully photographed, well organized and captioned with highly articulate, animated historical, literary and foodie insights and tips to help you enjoy your trip. Thank you!
such a beautiful and lively city! OMG, I love Madrid. I hope we can soon come back to its streets. Thanks for this video. It makes me very nostalgic from 3 weeks ago...
This is a wonderful video! I can tell you put a lot of work into it. I will be traveling to Spain in April on a school trip and am very excited to experience this wonderful country!
I had missed this one, which is crazy because I'm so passionate about history. In fact, listening to you enthuse about Madrid reminded me of how my friends mock me for going on about a subject they think is boring. This was another great vid. Thanks again guys
“Don’t Die In Madrid, we might lose you.” This is the quote of the video. I’m going to write a script around that concept. Great vid, James. Thanks. Hola to Yolly!
Hola!. What a great informational video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Happy New Year to you and Joly, wishing you the best for the new year!
Been there for few days. So much to see. You need more than a week to explore this big city. People are friendly and helpful. The taxi driver gave me a lecture on spanish language (in spanish of course) on our way to the hotel.
Awesome video James! Love the history behind Madrid and Spain 🇪🇸. Am planning to visit Spain the summer of 2020! Keep your fingers crossed 🤞. I will let you know when we get there. Hopefully we can meet up some day. Wish you guys a happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊

Excellent video. Your right , it was not boring. Looking forward to visiting beautiful Madrid soon.
