If you travelled to Torreviejja on the N332 you would of gone past where we live in La Marina, been here 20 years. I so love watching your vlogs Lisa and Mark, Chico is a darling❤
Lisa Mark do one thing and have a diabetes's test when you are back home, especially if you need to sleep during the day. Stay safe and keep doing your great vlogs, love you both.
Eeeee Lass - That Prawn Curry was" Luvly " - There's nowt like a Yorkshire Curry!! Chicco wanted to go in the Pink Lake so he could be the World's first Pink Yorky Chihuahua too! Loved the video, you are the tops, even Mark's Daddy Dancing very entertaining. Keep 'em coming!!! John
Great vlog! Santa pola is where the process the salt. When you pass it, you will see the piles of salt as high as 3/4 buses, my mum has had a villa in La Marina Alicante for 40 years it's just pass Guadamar going north towards the airport from Torrevieja xx
I moved to Wales ok not Spain guys but you get the nice & the shite. Lovely to see different areas. Only thing is winter soon in Wales but still having some beautiful days. Still not sure if I’m moving back to England yet? Admire that you two just get on & enjoy. I been here 14 months & anxiety through the roof. Sure hope I settle. Great video ♥️
Hi Lisa and Mark thanks for taking us along on your travels. I’m pretty sure I read that pink flamingos hatch with white feathers and it’s the shrimp they eat that turns their feathers pink. Very interesting. Thanks as always take care
Hi guys, Torrevieja looks lovely. Thanks for another great vlog. Loved the prawn curry and egg fried rice, Mark is well catered for in the van 😊 Love to the three of you, from Mel and Holly x
Great video! We lived in a few places near Torrevieja. If you have not left already. Loz Alcázares near San Pedro del Pintar is beautiful. A more Spanish feel on Mar Menor warm Laguna. There is also the mud baths beside it where people go and a great place for Churros on the beach! Dos Mares shopping centre also has some cool toilet😂.
Great to see another part of the costa blanca. We went for my birthday in feb red hot it was lovley,went to calpe ,then finestrat,and the fab beach in benidorm lavante. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had the best paella there back in the 70’s. It was 250 pasetas, for a three course set meal of the day, which nearly all restaurants did, that’s about £1.50 ish! It was very much still Spanish back then. It’s changed a lot! Brought back some happy memories though. You outfits matched the colour of the red lake and the algae has red pigment in, that’s eaten by the shrimp which turns the flamingos pinky red. Great vlog, happy travels to you both!😊
We love Torevieja that much were selling our motorhome to buy somewhere there. We spent nearly a month there on the site your on 18 months ago. The English are no longer the largest expat community. It's nothing like Benidorm, although we love Beni too. Torrevieja is a great place for a second home, we now have quite a few friends there. So many great areas and places close by as well. Properties have increased in price massively over the last few months. The pinkness of the lake varies all the time.
Lisa and Mark the last time the wife and I were in Torrevieja which was ten years ago there was definitely flamingos 🦩 on the pink lake . Enjoy and keep the vlogs coming 😊
Anything could be possible these days Lisa. Gone passed being shocked hehe. Thank you both for today enjoyable . Well Mark whatever goes in must come out in the end , you just have to be looking at the right time so you don’t miss it 😀😀😀before it goes back.
We go into the captain's table when we can lovely fish n chips punta marina that's where u r at lovely round we r just up the road in playa flamenca 😊 x
Was absolutely great to meet you both (& Chico) and hopeful its not the last time!! Gav & Jules xxx Maybe we can get a Cameo in the next video 😁 Hope your Enjoying the places recommended, and although it won't let me share insta details here in comments thanks for the mention xx
I've been in one of those lakes as its good for your joints was told about it from a local and wad told to just take some water in bottles to rinse off with
Great vid again 😊 We have spent many a jan and feb down there and know the area really well If you want to see flamingos the nearest and easiest way is head to Santa pola on the n332 through where they dry out the sea water and harvest it Some massive fish in the tributaries as well Yes flamingos turn pink from what they eat ( mark was right 😂) But not much else as it’s a bit of a building site with no really old stuff there We had 20-25 degrees in jan - feb Could we live there ? No it’s not home for us even though her parents have lived there for many years Retire yes 😊
You two are natural comics 😂 Lisa saying about the Captain hat Mark tried on…. Perhaps on days when your not with me haha 😂 thanks for the laughs and for the great videos love your videos 😊 xxxx
we were in Torry a few years ago and while down by the harbour my misses insisted it would a great adventure to take the little tourist train. The bloody train just took us back to our hotel
Hi Lisa and Mark, first of all please take care over there as we have seen there are storms and floods. To be honest i think i prefer other places than torrevieja, its still nice to visit and have a mooch round. That cycle path was silly ending like that, cant understand why they would do that lol. The parking place was an ideal spot for you, and little chicco seemed to enjoy his walk on the beach area. Anyway take care x
To get more appreciation of the area it's probably worth viewing the UA-cam channels such as Between the Lakes and Brits in Spain plus several others. The place needs more cycle paths but they have actually put in some that link Torrevieja with places like Montisenos that is several kms inland. Enjoying your videos.
There is a big shopping centre called the Boulevard near to Torrevieja that is a great van park up, a smaller version of the one in Murcia, there is also a 100 Montedios
Hi guys. Can see ya on ya way to Puerto de Mazarron way❤ It's Ace. Chinese, charity shops, free beach parking. Love to meet the three of you. All ya waste and elsan is free. Our beaches are gorgeous. Ya not far from us ❤
Loads and loads of ex-pats in Torrevieja. We had a friend who moved there 40 years ago and it was a small village. She's now gone back to the UK as it's too crowded with British people and their view is obliterated by loads of high rise buildings.
We have our place in Quesada, just outside Torrevieja... and we're Yorkies. We'll be Vloging from there on our channel in a few weeks when we finish work.
Looks like a lovely chilled out place, could do with the odd beach bar 🍸 and karaoke 🎤 and some market stalls....Brilliant place for swimming 🏊♂️ and a walk 🚶♀️ ❤
We used to go Benidorm for christmas one year on the beach bikini weather the next year it snowed for the first time in 26 years the locals said omg it was so cold
Didn't know the salt lakes were out of bounds, I went in it a few times and covered myself in the mud, it's supposed to be good for the skin, or so I was told 🤣 I also used to practice driving down there as it's so quiet.
HELLO BOTH LOOKS BLOODY NICE WE HAVE HAD RAIN TODAY IT SAID IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE DRY.MY GUESS IS THEY HAVE NO IDEA sorry about the caps im not shouting i have trouble with my key board im getting a new one soon i got a say im not a fan of spain but its very nice where you are
There are some lovely places more south love torrevieja , any chance to convert Mark away from Benidorm, thanks for the tip I drive to spain every year and I didn't know about the fine if you buy off looky looky man xx👍
You may have heard that it's because they eat shrimp, but the real answer is a little more complex. Flamingos and shrimp are actually both pink from eating algae that contains carotenoid pigments. Flamingos eat both algae and shrimp-like critters, and both contribute to their fabulous pinkness.
Hi Guys, 👋 👋 👋 You sure are getting around Spain opps sorry Ripon 😂😂😂😂😂. You've been lucky with the weather. Madrid is glacial. Heating on, full blast. From A/Con to heating, overnight.😂😂😂 It's great to see you having such a lovely time. Let's see where you end up on HALLOWEEN 🎃. I'm learning such a lot from your adventures. Thank you soooooo much for that. Really do appreciate all the work you put out on these vlogs.❤❤❤
Hi you are getting very close to where we live on the Costa Almeria. Hope you are surviving the weather. The DANA has caused a lot of flooding here with storms and high winds. Stay safw, are you heading further south?
I wouldn't swim or paddle in that pink lake. Did that lady swim in it or did she chicken out ? Enjoyed your video guys and your egg fried rice and prawn curry looked delicious. Love from Caroline Butler ❤
Thanks!
You two come to life in Spain and glow with happiness. It's infectious and I love to be a part of your travels.
ohhh thank you linden ❤

@@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204 thanks lee for watching
I always thought that flamingos got their pink color from the brine shrimp that they eat. 🤔
Hi Mark and Lisa, thank you for another brilliant vlog and Mark is 100% right as to how flamingos get their colour. Take care ❤❤xo
Glad you enjoyed it xxx

We live 20kms North of Torrevieja. We walk regularly around the promenade.

think mark does a great job winding up lisa hilarious lol
Hi guys. Can see ya on ya way to Puerto de Mazarron way❤
It's Ace. Chinese, charity shops, free beach parking.
Love to meet the three of you. All ya waste and elsan is free. Our beaches are gorgeous. Ya not far from us ❤
Seen on the news about the flooding in Valencia hope you guys are safe
Loads and loads of ex-pats in Torrevieja. We had a friend who moved there 40 years ago and it was a small village. She's now gone back to the UK as it's too crowded with British people and their view is obliterated by loads of high rise buildings.
Don't fancy going there better places in the north east
My husband thinks Torrevieja looks like Wythenshawe 😂 my cousin lived there for 10 years and had a bar there , dont know which one it was
Those British immigrants are all over the place. Lol
I have a friend who lives there moved there almost 20 years ago. I believe its pronounced Torri V Eka :)
Great vlog guys really enjoyed the trip around the town and the lake ❤ Chris/ Jan
Glad you enjoyed it
When u came out camper i just thought of Heidi
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think the place where you had your breakfast (CK1) is my friend, Kirsty's, place. Xx
No high rise buildings lisa, what are those in background as you are speaking ❤❤❤
thee midi rise not high rise x
We have our place in Quesada, just outside Torrevieja... and we're Yorkies.
We'll be Vloging from there on our channel in a few weeks when we finish work.
Another great video Mark Lisa and Chicco. Xxx. ❤❤❤

Thank you!! 😊
I hope hope your both safe and ok due to the flooding 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It really is!

Mark is correct, flamingoes are born grey but get their pink color for algae and brine shrimp.
Its true Lisa Pink Flamingos they are beautiful go and see them
We used to go Benidorm for christmas one year on the beach bikini weather the next year it snowed for the first time in 26 years the locals said omg it was so cold
I have a drink for every “didn’t we”. Slightly tipsy, keep it up, cheers!
Didn't know the salt lakes were out of bounds, I went in it a few times and covered myself in the mud, it's supposed to be good for the skin, or so I was told 🤣 I also used to practice driving down there as it's so quiet.
It is illegal to go into the pink lakes. You should go to San Pedro del Pinatar to the mud baths.
We were at that mall 2 weeks ago at Punta Prima. Blimey Mark there is 2 Chinese restaurants across the street.
Your Prawn curry looked delicious 😋 Not a lover of Torrevieja either xx

@@tinastock8540 the signs aren't very noticeable and it's a disgrace that the innocent holiday maker is going to get the fine and not the vendor.
@@fidelmakearney6015think agree
yes i didn’t see the signs until told
Mark with the captains hat on , chase me 😂😂😂
frightened me 😂😂😂😂
Think there is pink flamingos in Calpe 😊
@@clareboylan6741 yes there is
Toe-re-vi-eyha. Like hahahah, but only one ha at the end. I hope that helps.
I'm sure flamingos are pink because they eat pink fish such as shrimps and prawns.
You may have heard that it's because they eat shrimp, but the real answer is a little more complex. Flamingos and shrimp are actually both pink from eating algae that contains carotenoid pigments. Flamingos eat both algae and shrimp-like critters, and both contribute to their fabulous pinkness.
