    So nice to see two of my favourite UA-camrs together in my country! I love that Mark eats anything and everything, so he can try dishes that would not be a tourist first choice and enjoy them as they should be. They are all very traditional dishes which are not so well know outside our borders.
    I loved how Amadeo came and behaved like a grandpa feeding his grandchildren and teaching them about the enjoyable things in life. Adorable.
    These restaurants are very traditional ones, completely out of the foreign tourists beaten track, but not out of the national tourist one. I am glad that people abroad can get to know this side of Spanish cuisine too. There is a world beyond paella!

    I lived in Madrid for 3 years, we agree with my wife that those have been the best years of our lives in every way, both professionally and in terms of quality of life. When I see Mark enjoying these delicacies, it's hard not to remember those wonderful years. I still have the hidden desire to return to live in Madrid and visit those bars and enjoy its people and its food. Greetings from Chile.

No Filipino had fewer rights than any Spaniard. Surely when you visit the Plaza de Callao in the center of Madrid, you will feel like in Manila.

      There is alway Google Translate I suppose😄

      I worked in the industry for years, often in open kitchens where the diners could see what was going on. I never understood kitchens that had a “don’t eat anything because they can see you” policy. I don’t trust a cook who will feed me something he won’t eat himself. To see that old man consume his own food with so much gusto tells you it MUST be good.

    Have watched Mark and James' channels for many years, and BOTH display a passion for culture, life, and food that is glorious to behold!!
    Lived in Spain myself (for about 3 years) 30+ years ago... and the amazing sense of community & comraderie is OBVIOUSLY still respected & enjoyed.
    Thank you both so very much for sharing your adventures - you've BOTH helped me share the joy, pleasure, and importance of travel with THREE generations of children & loved ones!
