Noted, will make sure to spend my vacation money somewhere else
Should be protesting against illegal migration
Hi Suella!
Please elaborate your argument as I think you are just spouting rhetoric.
No one is illegal, only undocumented.
No offence meant Stu. If Spain doesn't want the money, There is always Greece. Yes I understand their problem.
You can't eat or live in money. Life is more than money.
@d.f.9064 its a tough juggle but losing tax dollars will affect services and will eventually lead to higher taxes for citizens or service cuts.
Degusting behaviour . Keep your money in your pocket everybody holiday else where.
@@karenburton582 How would you feel if your landlord kicked you out to rent his flat through Air bnb?
The Spanish protesters need to be careful what they wish for, I understand the anger at the air b&b situation, however tourist spend a lot of money. Apparently in 2023 tourists spent 9,600 million euros in Barcelona. What would happen to employment if that money went elsewhere!
When I arrived here 22 years ago, the Spanish complained that we brits were pushing housing prices up, the cocky Brit’s often replied that without us, the locals would all be riding around on donkeys earning nothing.
Is Spain seeking to increase unemployment by reducing tourism? Isn't unemployment high enough yet?
Yes I had that experience on fuertaventura a few months ago.
I had alot of patience but it ran out after being ignored by the waitress who only had time for her noisy local friends.
Finally slamming my hand down hard on the bar I got her attention and the whole restaurant went quiet everyone looking at me 😮.
I shouted " un vacito de vino tinto........cuando puedas "
I got my wine in seconds from the angry and embarrassed waitress.
She only had time for her noisy local friends who came in after me.
One can only hope that Spain gets a reputation as "Tourist-unfriendly". For different reasons that happened to Tunesia and it is dead for tourism, Egypty had it happen for a while. Spain can't afford to push tourists away. This is playing with fire.
@@user-rb2qw5in7y They want tourists but teh city governments have allowed owners of apartment complexes to convert them into holiday rentals. That makes much more money for the owners but it does remove living space for locals. If cities were to offer affordable living spaces not too far outside the cities locals would not mind, IMHO
Stuart the Politicians are deflecting blame away from themselves by blaming the Tourists for their failure to manage the housing situation in Spain. It’s an old trick and I am surprised the locals are so weak minded as to fall for it, in fact you will probably find they are not locals at all! Great show as ever! 👏
I am angry with the Madrid politicans for allowing vulture companies like the US Elix Rental Housing to come in and buy up buildings, turning them into tourist apartments... residents given little time to find other housing for which they cannot afford. It is also frustrating to see when tourist come and pay outrageous prices... it´s the supply and demand tango.
I rented airbnbs many times in different parts of Spain and in every case they were owned by Spanish nationals. So should tourists really be blamed? Its an easier target because they are walking around in plain sight. And quite right, Government have never controlled this properly, but anything bringing in the buck will probably be let be.
SPAM was invented for the soldiers back during world war 2. processed canned pork & ham Introduced in 1937. Pork shoulder & ham,with salt,water,modified potato starch( as a binder),sugar,& sodium nitrite( as a preservative).natural gelatin. Very popular in HAWAII!
Barcelona and Catalunya forget what the tourists bring to its economy. How much money have the tourists contributed to their cathedral "La Sagrada Familia" over the years? If you wish to book a ticket online, costs 47 € per Person with tour and not having to queue. That is just one price! With 3.2 million visitors per annum, do the math. El Prado in Madrid has about 2.9 million visitors (min.35€), Alhambra in Granada has 2.3 million (19€ complete visit). Where would these magnificent places be without the money from tourists?
Landlords don't want to long time renting because lack of security, government should provide more security and build more houses
A lot of this is due to respect. A lot of tourists show no respect to the locals. Its a problem when you mix residents and holiday makers in the same road/apartments. We have been kept awake many many times. Not funny when you have work the next day. Also youngsters that get drunk run into local streets and the balconies drunk and wearing no . They do not need to carry on like this. The governments and councils should have nipped it in the bud years ago. Once it gets a hold its difficult to stop.
Stressed people often blame ‘others’ for bad governance and shortage of essential services including housing. Same the world over.
Estate agent in costs Blanca said loads of Dutch and Brit’s selling up due to being shouted at even on urbanizations .
If your not wanted, don’t go, it’s not rocket science 🙄
Bit late for anyone who has already booked a holiday.
@@johnlongford1734I was going to book up for September but I have decided to go to Cypress instead they appreciate a wage there
My wife and daughter went to Malaga a month they a great time. They stayed in a hotel ate in local restaurants and drank in the bars isn't this good for Malaga?
As for Barcelona it has less tourists (10 million) than London (16 million) plus London has a population of over 8 million and Barcelona 1.6 million.
Don't blame the tourists or assault them and ruin their holiday take it up with National or Local governments they decide on how many they to allow to visit.
The reality is approx 1% of all housing in Barcelona is dedicated to short-term lets. Back in 2014, the local government capped tourist licences at 10k, although there are probably around 15k in total. However, there are around 75,000 empty homes in Barcelona and no real plan in place for social housing. The city’s active tourist apartments create taxes and provide jobs, unfortunately Jaume Collboni is trying to win votes through trying to push through a ban which could wipe out around 40% of tourist accommodation in the city and potentially 4-5% of the city’s GDP would fall. I work in the sector of short-term lets, and have been writing about holiday rental regulations in Spain since they were introduced in 2016 on a national level. Banning this type of tourist accommodation is not the solution to bringing down rents and creating affordable housing options.
Spain could sort the unemployment and housing crisis out in one go, get the young unjobbed skilled up,, build and push rent down. It’s not like there’s a lack of land.
They don’t understand that there are some Spanish going abroad to work, That is the right term “ Ungrateful”!! Then, not only in Spain prices of houses are rising Up! It is all over!!
that fact that people eat something that goes by "Spam" is even triggering enough. It sounds like it doesn't belong in your stomach
Surprised about the water pistols… (sad face) …thank you for today’s updates.
Much the same in many citys around the world. Do we blame govs & local authority's for not using tax funds & grants for new build social housing for local working populations ?
Not long back from a lovely holiday in Malaga, I do have sympathy for them about air B&B's. It will cause a problem for local people.
LOL. Span is awesome. But only sometimes, not all the time. I have it with eggs and rice. Yummy. But I grew up eating it. But again it's an every once in a while. And no I don't want to know what's in it LOL. Yes it is horrible with you, even the supposedly low sodium one. But like all things...moderation is the key. 🙂
Thanks Stu. I am Spain's greatest fan, but I am running out of patience at being wrongly cast as a villain for wanting to visit your wonderful country to enjoy it and spend money. Spain: you are in danger of killing the goose that lays the golden egg, and you appear utterly oblivious.
I used to love Majorca and even went to the same place 7 times. Not been on holiday now for a few years but everyone I know seems to have been going to Egypt , Turkey and Greece and even Morocco instead of Spain recently.
I suppose if Spain doesn't want tourists it will leave more room for migrants. I thought tourism was a major part of Spain's income but it Spain is now so rich it doesn't need tourists then that's up to them I suppose.
Just caught up with last night's live Stream. 😊
Bitting the hand that feeds them 😂 maybe take are business to Greece
Buenas Tardes ! Why not go INLAND ? Spain has so much to offer, the beaches in comparison are boring
I live in a tourist free part of Spain where we could probably do with a few visitors, we're an hour from the coast and my neighbour was brought up in benidorm, he can't afford to live there and he says it's not even Spain anymore and I agree with him, it's great to visit but there has to be a limit, I'm English and I hate to see how we've taken over much of the coast with Irish and British pubs eveywhere, come to Spain and explore the real Spain you'll love it.
The "real" Spain, outside of big tourist cities, is a wasteland of unemployment. You can't complain about tourism, when it's your LARGEST ECONOMIC SECTOR, making up 12% of your GDP and 11% of employment. So what will happen when Spain pushed away tourists? They're going to face the economic weakness of their country.
In the local Spanish bar where I live, the landlady asked me not to tip. She in English and her partner (the landlord chef) is Spanish, she has been here most of her life.
There is nothing wrong with spam i use to eat it all the time as a child but for the last 40 years i have not eaten any meat at all.
As for tipping i have lived here ln Spain since the 70s and never seen anyone leave only 10 cents as a tip.
Spam is junk, but i used to enjoy it in Hawaiian style fried rice or in a masubi. Haven’t had any in a few years… I’m trying to get off of processed foods and just quit fake coffee creamer after learning it’s illegal in some countries in Europe.
I urge all British citizens not not to travel to Spain let them have there country and we will go to GRESSE where it cheaper and sit back and watch the economy go down the dumps well done Spain don’t come knocking the door of uk travelling public 🎉
Hi Stuart, I have worked in the service sector in the past, and know that sometimes,if a local came into an eatery , we would know that they were on a lunchbreak and would serve them ahead of a tourist who should have all the time in the world. The local might only have time to grab a quick bite before heading back to work.
It always made sense to me.
Hi there Vicky Nolan, appreciate your logical comment there however, when a diabetic needs to eat they need to eat. Scratchy toddlers and kids have a limited dining time before they get bored and Mrs my.
Before the tourist industry both spanish and greeks where living in ceaveces in the cliffs. Thise with a small shed was lucky. They have done well out of British tourists the problem is Islam turning the med into a calliphate as they have done with Africa and the middle east and what do our ruling class do they listen to king charles recite the quran. Yes the root of our problems is they are weak
Raise prices, decreasing numbers to where they need to be. The problem is too many people can afford to travel there.
@d.f.9064 You’ll no doubt welcome the possibility that you might also be priced out of traveling…not just poor people.
All amigos, welcome.
Housing is expensive because the locals raised the prices 😂 don't blame tourists for the greed of your own people, thats hilarious.
Maybe the employers will do what the US does with wait staff; reduce the paycheck and let the tipping pay them instead.
I always felt Spanish speaking countries were not very interesting to go as a tourist. Why? There are so many other countries whose language is much more beautiful.
Hi there. I am trying to learn Spanish as I go there every year bit I am being put off by all of these protests. Which other languages would you suggest ?
Spam is processed meat in a tin. I find it similar to something called 'magro' in Spain....albeit magro is better quality!😂
if you've never had a fried spam and egg bap you haven't lived
2,800? Not a very big demonstration!
Can all Spaniards afford a VPN if a significant number are struggling with the cost of housing, olive oil, etc.?
😂spam is good for fishing too salty to eat 🍺🇬🇧
I have a lots of sympathy for the people of Barcelona. That's because I am from Amsterdam, also a city which has to cope with a lots of tourist & the English. Funny, how the measures are meant against tourists in general, but the English think it's only meant against them. You are right when primarly you consider the politicians being responsible for housing problems. But the English seems don't to understand how to behave themselves as a guests in a foreign country. (Just like Australians in Bali.) More laughable are the English tabloids. Remember during the process leading up to Brexit, these tabloids were convinced that Spain needed the English more than vice versa. So getting rid of those pesky English is really a Brexit advantage. And about going to Greece, well it's still the EU. Perhaps returning the stolen Parthenon Marbles could soften their attitude. 😃
The pot calling the kettle black. Stu, you come from a country that loves the stuff (Spam) and how about vegemite( for fks sake!!!). Australia had no food culture until the continental Europeans and Asians introduced their food cuisines.
Hi Stu, whats the score with restaurants charging a service charge? Some in uk do this but you can ask to take it off. very dodgy i think and i always refuse it but tip with cash. Is it the same in Spain if they add a charge?
The only time I have seen this is in a Belgian restaurant in Spain. It is not on the menu and as such illegal
7:41 Creo que estabas buscando tacaño.
Spam = Spiced ham
Hi Stuart
It’s an anagram Specially Processed American Meat. In other words. Floor scrapings 🤮🤮
I won´t touch it and I was fairly shocked people eat it.
Basically, what other countries would call sausage
Muchas Gracias Stu, another good, informative video. 👏
Best breakfast in the world.
3 slices of Spam topped wit a fried quails egg
The government can regulate or the people will. Its up to the government.
Hello stu and guests. Watching wimbledon and keeping an eye on the french election. Because of the spam talk, i recently bought a can of it. I remember it decades ago being a flavorful bit of compounded meat, great fried with breakfast. But it seems to have changed, maybe fattier and less meaty.
I'm sure it's not the people living on tourists that are demonstrating.
Stu, your reaction, defensive, towards the gentleman who told you to stop giving people advice not to eat spam, was inconsistent and self-contradictory to the point of being unintentionally funny. You tell people not to take any advice from you about nutrition, but then why say it? Why tell people not to eat spam if you don’t want them to listen to you because you’re not an expert on nutrition?, you don’t seem to know what’s in spam, you just know that it is bad, but you can’t tell us what’s in it. So you’ve heard that it is bad, and it looks like it’s bad, but you don’t really know, so at least you could talk about the ingredients and the percentage of fat or carbohydrates or its nutritional value, you could read right off the can but you didn’t do that. This guy says he doesn’t want you criticizing spam. you have an audience that listens to you, whether or not you have any expert knowledge in nutrition. You opine quite a bit about Spanish politics. Now I don’t think you’re an expert on Spanish politics, but I’m interested in listening to what you say as an expat because you have lived there for quite a few years.. So you betrayed your ignorance about this beloved product as well as saying don’t eat it, but don’t listen to me, which makes absolutely no sense. It was a convoluted stew of self contradiction
