🏨OUR HOTEL RECOMMENDATIONS IN EACH SPOT
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
11. Santiago de Compostela. Hotel Pazo de Altamira is a lovely, modern hotel within a gorgeous old Galician stone building. And it’s right opposite the fabulous market! bit.ly/2HDJwL2
10. Jerez de la Frontera. Definitely try and stay at the famous Hotel Casa Grande - a big old mansion with a gorgeous rooftop terrace for drinks - bit.ly/30K5HXr
9. Vera Valley. I would suggest staying in the village Valverde de la Vera and my pick is the cosy and rustic La Picota: bit.ly/2VMT7D3
8. Cadaqués. I love Tramantua Hotel, a white-washed gem run by a husband and wife team… service is fantastic, and it’s right in the old city, plus near the beach: bit.ly/2JCPpdP
7. Cáceres. We stayed at the budget but good Hotel Iberia Plaza Mayor with views of the square): bit.ly/2K4CuAv. If you want to stay IN the old city though, the Parador here is a 14th century palace - the full Caceres medieval dream! bit.ly/2HUT3w8
6. Oviedo. Prices in Northern Spain are often cheaper, so you can happily get a great hotel here without spending a lot. Check out the excellent Barceló Oviedo Cervantes: bit.ly/2YPLXQA
5. Zahara de los Atunes. Either go with Hotel Avenida Playa (simple, clean, and right off the beach - bit.ly/2W1z60u) or the slightly more chic Hotel Doña Lola - bit.ly/2VWA89q
4. Las Alpujarras. Casa Rural la Fragua is a gorgeous little tucked away whitewashed apartment in Capileira (either stay here or in Pampaneira). This place is perfect for exploring the villages around the area. bit.ly/2QqUUgg
3. El Rocío. I love Hotel La Malvasía with its old-world luxury, the fact it’s only a 5-minutes walk from the famous Santa María del Rocío church and they also have a terrace which is perfect for sunsets. bit.ly/2YNXkbA
2. Mejorada del Campo.
Bus info: www.madridbuses.com/autobuses... (take the bus from Conde de Casal). Don’t spend the night there. It’s a day trip. But my favourite Madrid hotels are below (in descending price order):
Pestana Plaza Mayor (right on Plaza Mayor and with a pool) - bit.ly/30HN725
Gran Hotel Inglés - bit.ly/2HD8REI
The Pavilions - bit.ly/2VSsFIi
Vincci The Mint - bit.ly/2Xam51o
7 Islas - bit.ly/2QuDGi0
1. Cádiz. Right in the old town, I love the wonderful Hotel Boutique Convento Cádiz, housed in a renovated 17th century monastery: bit.ly/2VSszjU

We loved making this video about our travels in Spain. Where do you want to go in Spain next? 😎🇪🇸
Valencia would be first choice for my next trip to Spain. Having been to Jerez and Cadiz several times, I'm 2/11 per your video. I've always preferred to get out of the large cities and into the country. Have a trip all worked out, bicycling from Madrid to Cadiz. All I need is a few more crazy people to join me.
How do you learn Spanish in about 5 years
San Sebastián, zaragoza, ronda, tarifa y cádiz en mi lista.
I’m a Gallego-American and I recommend you visit my family’s city Santa Uxia De Ribeira there’s a lot to do especially for the week long festival, Festa de Dorna that starts yearly on the 18 of July to the 24 of July. Anyways I love your videos and keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Althought I have been to O Grove in Galicia, I have never been there during the Fiesta del Marisco. It would be amazing for you both to go there and do a video...I could live vicariously through you 😄
Galicia is the best! ❤️ But honestly, to me, Spain is the best European country. So diverse and rich in history. Not to mention the food.
100% you are right
@@Juanfernandez-sm8jl 1 trillion percent
Claro que si neno !
How many countries have you live besides Spain?
@@YoMaltes- I live in the United States of America….but I have traveled a little around Europe.
Thank you so much. I have just come back from Spain and Italy with my daughter and son in law.. because he promised when he was dating my daughter to take me to any country i wanted to, in my heart of hearts to see. I wanted Spain! Oh my ! I love Spain so much. One of my special moments..among many was Besalu. Stunning in it's beauty. We drove and air Bnb from Barcelona to Besalu and found ourselves in the old quarter, in the middle of a film set for Westworld!!! Ha! .. AND the beautiful and stunning Ronda! so gorgeous! Massive cliff face withe village clinging to it's tops. The Sierra Nevada and the rugged ,strange mountain range absolutely floored me. I have eaten so well and am a Vemud junky, Albondigas are my fave food and cava and I want to cry because I want to go back now! Cadaques was stunning and Setinel de la Bodega was where i had a tomato that bought tears to my eyes. I love Spain and she is in my blood now. Thank you for your love for her.
Wendy...there are some people born in Spain and are not Spanish...did you know this? There are some people not born in Spain, and they are SPANISH! Like Welsh Toro he is Spanish. It seems that you like Ray Vogensen...like Welsh Toro...are Spiritual Spanish...very powerful stuff.
Lovely! I'm becoming Spanish just by listening to you guys talk about Spain! How do you like them APPLES!
I fly into Barcelona late April. This is my third visit to Spain. I wish I'd discovered your videos before previous trips. Discovered you quite by accident and thought "That guy sounds like a Kiwi". Have watched many of your videos now. I am 73 and travel independently although joining a Spanish-Kiwi couple and their daughter Moana in the south of Spain where they live.
I felt an instant connection to flamenco since my first flamenco class 30 years ago under a Spanish teacher. I no longer dance but love flamenco in all aspects and love the history, especially of Andalucia.
Good point about generalization.. in another video you mentioned that people in Spain don’t really do siesta. That was my experience also when I was in Barcelona recently. But back in 2003, during the Iraq war, I med-evaced a wounded Soldier from Iraq to Naval Station Rota Spain (about 100 miles north of Gibraltar?). I wasn’t able to get out and see the town until around 12:30 pm, and they’d rolled up the streets. EVERYTHING was closed and locked up! When I got to the beach to take a dip in the ocean, I found the businesses on the waterfront WERE open. I asked one of the employees at a beachside bar why everything was closed in town and he said “Siesta”. At the time, I was a Critical Care Care & Trauma RN in a Field Hospital, serving in the US Army. Later that night I was in a nightclub on the coast about 30 miles south of Rota, in some place that my Navy companions referred to as “Porto”. I was concerned because the war was very unpopular with the Europeans and was worried about hostility or trouble with the locals. To my surprise, even though they somehow immediately recognized me as an American, they were all SO kind.. buying my drinks and asking me to dance with them, etc. They put me at ease and made me feel very welcome. I’ve LOVED Spain ever since, and return on vacation every chance I get. It’s a beautiful county with beautiful people! 😎
Big cities changed with globalization. Used to be, in the early 1970, la siesta, everything closed down, and I was used to go for a walk and felt weird, I was the only one out in the streets. Also, el sereno, another tradition, if you came home late, like 11 or 12 and maybe couldn't find your key, you clapped loud and the sereno came around and opened the door for you, I guess he had every building keys!
I'm Cuban, living in Chile and visiting Spain for the first time. We're already booked for Sevilla for a few days, and you just made me decide to take a day trip from Sevilla to Cadiz. I've got to see the Havana of the east. Havana is the city were I was born and lived for over 30 years.
I love how about every place you say "we had incredible food there", "we had incredible wine". Yep! That's Spain: history, art, food, wine.
Totally!
Also great people
I have been all over Spain, the four regions
and I love every single one of them, Cadiz included.
Best towns and villages,no particular order:
Sitges, Competa,Jerez,Nerja,Valencia,San Sebastian,
Liastres,Frigiliana,Alcalá. del Júcar, Cudillero,
San Vicente de la Barquera,Cadaqués,Cuenca,Seville.
Excelente gusto, Cádiz, Oviedo, Cáceres (nací allí), Jerez... Gracias por vuestro entusiasmo
Your passion for Spain is contagious!
Absolutely enchanting. Thank you.
Thanks for another video, this one made me crave for a Spain trip, love all the places you guys suggested.
What a fantastic video! Gracias por todo!!
Inspirational video, thanks for making.
Being from Madrid, Oviedo was just impressive. Actually, the entirety of Asturias.
If anyone here has the chance to go to Spain. Go north and south, and experience the incredible contrast. The change of the landscape is unlike anything else in all of western Europe.
Totally agree!
I second James' agreement and your original comment. My parents in law live in Bilbao and I was married there. I know the North pretty well and I love it. My Spanish family come from Valladolid and so they travel between those two cities. I'm very familiar with Castilla y Leon. A region I find endlessly fascinating. Madrid is an exciting centre and a city I very much enjoy with a bit of everything. (I deeply regret the hostility between the two great cities of Madrid and Barcelona - It's not a competition guys.) Once you go south of Toledo it's a different country. La Mancha and Extramadura are not very well explored but fascinating to anyone interested in Iberia. Finally it's the brilliance of Andalucia (where I have a little home), which in terms of natural landscape has to be the most varied in Spain and, probably, the rest of Europe as you say. I've still to explore Galicia and Valencia properly but that will happen. I love the in-between spaces of Spain. The landscape between journeys. It's spectacular driving country with a lot of glorious hidden gems.
Totally! Thank you!!
Done that, like different countries in every sense.
Amazing video! Your knowledge and passion inspire
Excellent video and very informative. Thank you.
I really want to visit my ancestors country. Spain. im a del Campo in the Philippines.
Thanks for this!
What a wonderful video! I knew Cadiz would be up there. I love the way you both bring a native Spanish and 'Non Spanish' but Spanish speaker perspective to this. I dream of visiting all these places in Spain; as a keen 'Spangna-phile' (have I just bastardised this), I have visited many places - admittedly the more touristy places but I'm keen to get off the beaten track.
I always forward your videos to my wife for ideas and to keep reminding her of our plans to visit more of the beautiful country of Spain.
Yoli and James - you are legends in my book.
Gracias
Tony
Thanks Tony!!! You'll visit all these places!
Really LOVE this video! Want to visit more of Spain and this is exactly the video to get me excited about doing so. Thanks for sharing all those wonderful places - I shall try to visit as many as possible.
This is a really great video thanks for making it. Very helpful
Thanks Harper :)
All Spain is amazing!
Amazing! Gracias 🙏🏽
Very interesting! Gracias!
Great video chicos Thank you😎👍
Really enjoyed your enthusiasm and great information. Gracias
Thank you!
Great video of things to do off the beaten path. Will bookmark and remember this for a future Spain trip in a car to be flexible and see things the way the locals do. Big fan of the channel,keep up the quality and interesting content.
Thanks Dave!
Hola Amazing country! Thanks for the vlog and information about Spain towns. Love you're work and vlogs.
Hi guys chicos! I wanted to make a comment about Chinchón and Pinto but when I read everybody's comments so passionate about Spain it's not words enough. I lived 10 years there and always thought I can live there the rest of my life and not have sufficient time to see all. I miss Spain a lot with all my ❤️ heart.
Excellent video amigos. I loved it! I ll get some of my friends to check it out
Just like to say that you guys are spot on! I love your channel and enjoy it throughly. I'm a londoner of Spanish parents and it's given me a refresher course! I recommend your channel to all my friends and have tried some of your recommendations including Botin for my birthday. I watched your UA-cam episodes again on the Iberia flight to Madrid. As a disabled traveller I would love to see if you could try to cover some wheelchair accessible restaurants. Eg places you would recommend that have no steps and a suitable toilet. Remembering that the food is number 1. You guys have made want to return even more to Spain. "¡Vamos - con el arte que tenías!"
Thanks for your comment. I would love to provide those tips. I'll add it to the list!
We love your channel.
Great job guys
Just from watching your channel I decided to go and visit Spain for the second time. Love it !!!
Great video! I loved it. I wish you could prepare a list like this for flamenco fans: shows, places, classes for tourists... this kind of stuff that we should not miss, whenever going to Madrid or Bcn.
You forget Toledo, one of the best medieval towns of Europe
Might as well just include ALL of Spain. I doubt I will see it all in the life I have left, but I much rather see Spain than tour in my own country, USA. My heritage, my ancestry is Portuguese and Spaniard...I want to see it, learn it, and live it.
Three of my favorites that you didn't mention are (1) Albarracin, (2) Cuenca, and (3) Guadalupe (in Extremadura) -- and stay in the monastery.
Next time!
Good choices Nancy. I was in the Monastery of Guadalupe for Palm Sunday two years ago and the singing was one of the emotional moments of my life. I love your other choices too but Guadalupe is special.
I like the chemistry you guys have, and how you always provide off-the-beaten-path recommendations. As I am looking into videos from Cordoba, Valencia and Sevilla, everyone highlights the same places and with a lot of detail, but few highlight neighborhoods and streets. Your videos about BCN were helpful like this, and hopefully you will make more of hidden treasures from other cities.
Amazing video as ALWAYS! Thanks you for the opportunity to be with you on this fantastic Trip, my next stop is Tarragona 😍
Omg I love you guys!! Exact vdo I needed! 😁
Awesome - enjoy it Ann! Happy trip planning!
Great video . I love Spain and you both are fantastic!
I completely fell in love with Alicante when I went there in March. I'm sure to most Spaniards it's a fairly unspecial tourist resort, but I thought it was such a beautiful city. I definitely want to explore more of Spain. I'm going to Madrid at the end of the month, and am planning on visiting Valencia, Sevilla, Cadiz and Cordoba in the next wee while.
Every city is fascinating.
Quite impressed by the fact that you mentioned La Vera :-). As someone from Losar de la Vera, thank you so much for showing people that our area can be amazing too ❤️.
Amazing couple. Fantastic video. Love it . Thank you
Thanks as always Mica!
Tenemos un preciosos país..y nos andamos peleándonos por tonterías. Enhorabuena por el video
how about Mérida? absolutely incredible place with one of the most important collections of Roman art in the whole of Europe.
I loved Merida. Bumped my head on the roof of the Gladiators tunnel 😃
@@robertlangdon8226 Friendliest, most polite Spaniards are in Extremadura.
Hi guys can’t wait I will be in Madrid tomorrow flying from Perth Australia can’t wait 😊 and love the video big thumbs up 👍
Have an amazing trip!
Madrid is the big number one. I love all of Spain but I will never tire of Madrid.
I have a friend from Caceres and visited the town last year. I adored the place.
I looove Sigüenza (Guadalajara), Castro-Urdiales (Cantabria), Santillana del Mar (Cantabria)... That are the first places that come into my mind! But Spain is sooo beautiful, culturally rich, each province have their own magic. :)
Salamanca is a wonderful
City and province. The pueblos are amazing - makes you feel like you are going back in history. Just beautiful!
Hey guys, from my personal travels in Spain , I would add the beautiful Santillana del Mar in Cantabria. It was like traveling back in time! A small medieval village with cobblestone streets, artisan shops, dim lights at night, I found it very romantic. There is also a zoo which is a plus for families. There is a torture museum which I enjoyed a lot ( I think I need to see a shrink 😂) then we took a ride to Comillas, another great charming village, this one is by the sea and hosts Gaudi’s Capricho monument, very much worth a visit. Both had amazing seafood dishes x
Santillana is beautiful. It's a bit picture postcard but that's only because the tourists (mainly Spanish) have joined in. They sell fresh milk in Santillana and it is very good.
Love all your choices.
Thank you both for this wonderful video and your channel. I, too, love Spain and it is easy to see how you want everyone to share in your love for Spain. We lived in Puerto de Santa Maria for four years earlier in my career. James , you use magical alot....I agree. Walk a back street at 0400 in Sevilla during Semana Santa...magical!! I love the fact that many of the top places you mention are in Andalucia. We spent this past April back in Spain ( and went to La Hora del Vermut while between trains in Madrid, THANKS!!) and try to return every year. There is SO much to tell about the culture and the food and wine. You mention chicharrones alot, don't forget the torrezno in Pamplona, chicharrones on steroids!!!Please keep doing what you do. We hope to meet you both on one of our trips. Vivo cerca de Seattle, pero mi corazón siempre estará en Andalucía. Gracias por todos.
Totally! Magical! I love walking in the streets at night, when it's warm and quiet
Great info
You guys are amazing, thank you
Thank you!!
This year, Madrid, A Coruña, Santiago. See you soon !! Y gracias por la pasión que derrochas por España
I love your enthusiasm. You really love Spain!!!!
Gracias!
Random comment, as I have been watching your channel pretty steady for a couple of weeks. I just wanted to say thank you for such an enjoyable time and for really educating me about Spain through its food, which has really helped me better understand the food in San Antonio, Texas. I moved here 21 years ago from San Francisco because I couldn't afford to buy a house (one of the few reasons to have left) and as I have learned about the Mexican food, which is markedly different than the same in California, I was introduced to so many new foods: breakfast tacos, chorizo, migas, al pastor, pico de gallo, etc, but to hear about what is in migas in Spain, or rather what is missing (no tortilla chips? lol), and to slowly but surely see how the tortilla really means something different, and how overall the cuisine is much more "European" than "Mexican", really turned my mind upside down for minute. It was very welcomed. Thanks!
I loved Valencia......went there in end of Feb.....beautiful spot and wonderful people and weather
El rocío looks absolutely amazing to me. There are so many places I want to visit when I move to Spain but I think this might now be the place I have to visit first.
Thank you James and Yoli for creating these videos, and sharing your passion for Spain. I visited Spain while on a 3 week trip to Europe, and it really spoke to me - the wonderful food, the warm people and the easy way of life... We’re planning on retiring in Spain, and we can’t wait. These videos keep us going, so continue the great work!
Fantastic! It's a great place to live!
Spain Revealed - James Blick We ended up buying in Oviedo and so happy to see it on the list. We love Asturias.
Que orgullo ser vuestro número 1
Lago Del Espejo and the Monasterio De Piedra!!! A favorite of mine while stationed in Torrejón Air Base.
Nice show as usual thank you guys
We have Cádiz booked in June.
Excelente canal. Enhorabuena. Soy fantásticos. Tenéis que visitar Zamora, la ciudad con más iglesias románicas de Europa y quizás las mejor Semana Santa de España.
WOW ! Best travel vid I've seen for a long, long time. Really mouthwatering. I'll go to Andalucía in a few weeks.
Hi. Just came across your videos. I'm a Canadian living in Burgos and this is my fifth year in Spain. I plan to finish the Camino this year and I want to explore Aragon and Extremadura... There are lots of nice cities here but I really enjoy the small villages. Some of my favorite places so far...Ronda... Albarracín... Setenils de las bodegas ... Puentedey... Oña...etc I studied history so for me Spain is great because everywhere you go there is a monument, ruins, a monastery etc
Supongo que también conocerás Lerma... Yo vivo en Burgos y tengo familia en Montreal. Espero que la ciudad te trate bien. Un cordial saludo.
Came across your channel today and really enjoying your enthusiasm about Spain. I have visited Cadaques when taking a holiday in Catalonia and walking the marked paths every day. The food and drink is amazing and can’t wait till our next visit which will be to Ribes de Freser in the Pyrenees
Great video, muchas gracias. Personally I would have to include the Picos de Europa, an absolute paradise. I know you included Oviedo but the park is just simply stunning and hardly anybody seems to know about it. Breathtaking, literally!!
Sadly your comment "hardly anybody seems to know about it" is no longer true. Picos is stunning but is now becoming overrun with tourists. There are so many now during the summer that you can't drive up to the lakes but must go by bus. A similar phenomenon has occurred with the Playa de las Catedrales. During the summer you can only go down if you have made a reservation.
El Monasterio de Piedras near Zaragoza is a national park, nature at its best too
Just returned home after our visit to Madrid, thank you for your information . Madrid is a beautiful city, we will be returning.
....what a mouth-watering presentation of fantastic and unique places in Spain!! And your enthusiasm for your home country (Yoly) of choice (James) is very infectious! I've walked the Camino Frances twice, and was amazed by many of the places, and of course Santiago and Finisterre. I also spent holidays in the Alpujarras, walked the Capiliera area (inspired originally by Chris Stewart's books), been to Ibiza and many of the Canary Islands... love Spain so much! I get, why Cadiz is at the top of your list... will have to check it out - for sure!
You're such a beautiful couple to watch...
👩❤👨😎🌞
Cádiz is my favourite too! I love it so much. 😍😍😍
It's the entire region of Cadiz I love. Apart from the city you have the great sherry triangle (Jerez, Sanlucar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria) and further afield beautiful places like Grazalema.
I went to school in Cadiz in 1970. Collegio Mayor, Lopez Pinto Ochent-aydos! Lots of wonderful memories.
We made it to Cadiz in October 2018, so happy to have been there. You two gave us great ideas for our trip. Some day....
Love your comments about Cadiz. We live in Chiclana de la Frontera and are so lucky to have Cadiz only 15 minutes away.
Love Cadíz..... I hope to move to El Puerto de Santa Maria this year. Thanks for your videos..... very informative..
Mis felicitaciones por este tremendamente interesante y gracioso video. Además de que ambos sois muy buenos comunicadores, sois también muy simpáticos. Un 10 por mi parte. Saludos desde Aragón.
Gracias!
Love, love, ur videos, love spain, go every year, irish,
Can't wait for your Salamanca video! 1.5h far on the Alvia train from Madrid. I'm sure you will love it!
Love Salamanca. Incredible history, art and architecture. It has so much it's hard to believe how much of the old city was destroyed during the Franco period. (Not getting political guys, it's just a fact.) The cathedral is sensational, especially the original one. The clean air of the region has ensured the wall art is almost like yesterday. Probably the best Plaza Major in Spain.
Si, el entusiasmo es contagioso 😊👌
Me encanta este canal, porque me enseña cosas de España que ni yo mismo, siendo español, conocía.
ole!!! gracias!
I am so glad we found your channel. My wife and I will be in Spain from late September to early November and to watch a video like this with such wonderful suggestions to visit helps us build our itinerary. Our plan at the moment is to drive from southern France to Gibraltar and then north to Madrid. Thank you again and keep up the great work. Bill from Oz.
Visit Estepona along the way !! You too James and Yoli !!
Awesome Bill! More tips over on SpainRevealed.com as well. Enjoy!
loved cordoba amazing patio festival and toledo the bylanes are magical also visited girona view from murallas are fantastic
ofcourse fantastic food
next trip would love to visit cadiz malaga san sebastian and list is endless.
Thanks a lot Yoly and James for another great video, your channel is really fantastic. I feel the Canary Islands are missing here. I particularly love Lanzarote. For the landscape and nature - the el Jable desert, the Montanas del Fuego, the Parque National de Timanfaya, the wonderful green bay at El Golfo etc. For the wine growing from the lava soil at La Gueria. For the wonderful places created by the late artist Cesar Manrique, for the food and for the beaches.
James, I just came back from Barcelona. Thank you for all your suggestions!! We had an awesome time. You should make a tapas bar tour in the Gràcia neighborhood!! So good!! And off the beaten path.
Loved Pais Vasco and little towns in La Rioja, amazing views, wine and food!! Can't wait to go back!!
That's a great little pocket of Spain Jorge. Good history and tremendous landscapes. I suppose I should mention the wine as well.
@@welshtoro3256 YES! Wine, chorizos, txakoli, ypu name it.
Totally agree. I was married in Bilbao and I love Pais Vasco. There's a kind of extended Pais Vasco as well. I'm talking Rioja, Burgos, Soria. The food is the best as we know. I love my Txakoli which remains a secret for people like us. Cheers my friend. WT
@@welshtoro3256 Bilbao was one of the places I visited this past Semana Santa, it's very nice to walk around.
My paternal ancestors are from the village of Morga, near Gernika and Huercanos in La Rioja, so I really wanted to go there, its not only the food, the people are great. Another drink I tried there was Kalimotxo, easy to make but very refreshing. I still make it at home.
Your both amazing! We love your visits to NZ
See you soon!
OMG i would love to do this trip all these places look fascinating
Thanks for this video. Been in spain for more than a year, but haven't heard of these places yet.
Well, this was unexpected. Very good video this week. Way to mix it up.
While we love the amazing food tours you take us on, this was really cool of you to show us around the county(some place not Barcelona, Sevilla etc) We loved it!
For us this was particularly helpful because we visit Spain, 2- 3 weeks at time in the off seasons, to avoid crowds, pretty much every year since 2003( hanging out mostly in Madrid, our home away from home) but lately we've set our itinerary's to spend the first 7-10 days seeing new pueblos in the country, then unwind the last week back in a flat in Madrid, visiting our favorite "old" places whilst adding new favorites to our trip. This is where Spain Revealed comes in!
This year is Northern Spain/Picos de Europa on a 10 day drive, then back "home" to Madrid. Maybe, we'll bump into you again this year.
Great work!
Thanks J & Y
Hasta Luego
Great to hear you liked it. I'd love to do more non-food videos. If I was to do a couple of non-food videos about Madrid, what would you want them to be?
Another fantastic video! Makes me want to go back to Zahara for another sunset horse ride on the beach
Yes!!! Tavira nights!
Thanks so much for your videos guys. I just want to be rich now and have the chance to visit all those places, they look amaizing!!!!!
Fantastic - we’ve been to 4 of your 11 , but was so pleased with number 1, Cadiz is very much like Havana, but without the fuss. It also has by far the best fish market I’ve ever visited in Spain. Some new places to add to our to do list. Muy bien.
Ma Gusta , ☺😊😊😀🏩
Thank you Yona and James , A Super Video ...
Thanks for sharing Cadiz, a woderful place I visited 2004 . I stayed in a small hostel, due to it being quite full some accommodation was provided my means of a Hammock on the Roof top on a warm summer night under the stars. Being on the Coast at times can be slightly windy at times. Very memorable nice place to Visit. And friendly people.
Walked most of the Camino Mozarabe a few years ago so saw quite a bit. One of my favorite moments was sitting in the Mosque wall eating a lemon gelato on a spring day in Cordoba. Caceres had amazing roast lamb. Santiago de Compostella was awesome...and yes, I had Pulpo every day for lunch. Love the stuff.
James and Yoli, you are the best, os quiero mucho a los dos, enhorabuena excelente trabajo.
Gracias Joshua!
I like your show and will visit this place soon.
I organised a trip with friends to Ubeda, Baeza and Cazorla in Jaen. The Renaissance architecture in Ubeda is fabulous and when we first went very unexpected, like being in Italy. Olives made the area rich in the 16th century when a lot of the buildings were built, but the family fueds made everyone too poor to replace them so they have been preserved. In Baeza there are also Roman remains as well as the renaissance, the University is a lovely place to have breakfast. Cazorla is a short drive away in the national park, and is great for walking and visiting the bars afterwards. We had a wonderful 3 days.
You should visit the Roman city of Mérida in Extremadura. Heritage of Mankind. You'll love it!!!
Zahara is in my heart!!
Zahara, Andalusia? Love that place.
I recommend La Ribeira Sacra and los Cañones del Sil, in Galicia. The tiny fishing town of Calella de Palafrugell, in Girona. Ribadesella in Asturias. La Selva de Irati and los Valles de Roncal y Salaza in Navarra. San Sebastian in Euskadi ......
Thank you for those suggestions!
