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.
@@spritelybird madrid is not as desirable as this video says, lots of people, expensive, dirty, just like most of the big cities more than 3M people live in madrid. Personally id preffer the north or the south but not madrid or barcelona when sevilla, bilbao, santiago or oviedo exists
I'm loving that man from Los Caracoles he was so cute 🥰 and he dipped his fingers in the food 😅 I love it!!! Spain looks so rich in culture and foods. I've never ate authentic food from Spain...one day I'll visit 🫶🏽
Mark thank you for showing the richness of Spanish cuisine. My mother was from Spain (my father was a US Air men stationed in Spain in the '50s and married a Spanish women from Castilla). I grew up on this food and would tell all my friends how great Spanish food is. I think it wasn't untill the late '90s that the word finally got out in the US how wonderful Spain is and how fantastic their cuisine is.
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!
Besides your guide, James... I have to say that that sweet old gentleman was just absolutely lovely... He's not just the snail master... He's the perfect example of what passion and life should be about...
I adore the 93 year old abuelo 🥰 the fact that he ate with you shows how proud he is of his items and how much love he has for the food he produces. Much respect to him, truly blessed!!
It's not that hard to find here. They all want their business going well, even town bars and similar. Greatest people to meet, always good stories and even better company for food or just a coffee that will last hours.
I Love How Grandpa Likes To Feed Food .He is Very Friendly And He Loves His Food ❤️ Will Definately Come To Spain . Lots Of Love To Spain ❤️ Your Friend From India 🇮🇳
The best collab! James is the best foodie tour guide in Spain, with his knowledge and rapport with the locals! And definitely can keep up with Mark in the appetite department. Hope to see more content from the both of you!
Wow James was really a great guide, not only the food but the history and the people that continue with their love of the food they prepare keeping with tradition, what a wonderful tour. Missing Ying and Micah, hope everyone is well 🥰
When Mark was born, he didn't cry, he said, '' ho woww" Legend has it that one day Mark will eat a meal so good, he will lean all the way out of the frame. I love how this dude is always smiling 😂 it tricks me into being happy for some reason
25:30 ya no thanks I'll pass on the snails , I don't understand how anyone can eat snails , I'll pass because that looks disgusting , I know the Vietcong used to eat that stuff but that was out of survival , everything else looks great , some tasty looking food , great video . But for God sakes don't eat those snails , that is probably one of the most disgusting and weirdest dishes in the universe , along with that infamous iguana sushi sushi video on UA-cam , great video , but that snail eating , dude that was weird
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 I once thought snails were disgusting to eat but after I tried them sauteed in butter and garlic (called escargot) it wasn't all that bad. However, being so rich, I wouldn't eat them too regularly but I wouldn't call another culture's food disgusting because "one person's trash is another one's treasure" so let us demonstrate some respect.

It’s not just the amazing food, it’s also the people’s genuine connection in this video. Outstanding! My favorite is Senior Amadeo! Salut! Thank you Mark for taking us with you! James is such a great guide and co-host!
So nice to see different Spanish dishes and cozy decor which Filipinos can relate a lot with having been a colony of Spain for 333 years. Viva la España. 😊

Wow, I remember Amadeo from Restaurante Casa Amadeo Los Caracoles when my parents took me often in the 1970s. My Dad used to have nice chats with him late into the night. I am so pleased to see he is still having fun at his Restaurante. The snails are amazing, it has been decades since we lived there. I miss the social part of eating Tapas. Spain was very inexpensive back in the day but the food looks just as authentic, simple made great.
I am from Madrid, people from Madrid are called cats, and I always say that a cat is not born, it is made... everyone is welcome to Madrid. Thank you for making such a nice video about my city, in Madrid and in Spain we welcome everyone with open arms. God bless you.

Nunca e ido a Espana, estoy tan emocionada. Cuando termine mis estudios me voy a vivir a Espana un año para conocer a mi papá por primera vez. ❤️ Estoy tan emocionada. 😍😍😍😍 La comida 🤤
This was pure Pleasure eating! You had the perfect Gentleman with knowledge & history of the food, that truly makes a difference when visiting any different country or state.....Blessings to him...he was Awesome! The way I felt was people told their stories through their technique of cooking their food! In your words Mark Wow! My favorite was the 93 year old gentleman with so much life and energy! He just warmed my Heart! This is what you're giving to us. Not just food, but a chance to meet Cultures! Again & as Always "Great Job!
Mark, that was excellent!! My hats off to James, what a great guide he was during your trip to Madrid. And I am looking forward to checking out his channel as well. Thanks gentlemen!
Had the good fortune to meet and interact with Amadeo at the restaurant yesterday. What an amazing personality!!! An inspiration, to say the least. How the heck does he keep up his energy after all these years?!? To be honest, experiencing his hospitality and humor is at the top of my most memorable travel experiences. If you go, definitely try and sit inside where all the action is.
En España los contrastes culturales se notan también en la comida y hacen que sea una maravilla por su variedad y riqueza gastronómica. Un saludo fuerte!!
Spain Revealed, is one of the best vlogs on Spanish food and wine, have been a huge fan of James and Yollie, who were recently blessed with a daughter. James would have done two episodes in this much time. 😀
Ah when I see you guys eating such delicious food I feel jealous...I miss Spain...I am from León but live in the USA...I watch you both and I am also subscribed to you both...Thank you for the fun of watching you two together...i know how good Spanish food is...It made my mouth water...I felt I was eating it with you... Thank you Mark for sharing your travels in my country...
Amparo...don't feel jealous my new UA-cam friend. You can always take a go Pro camera with you wherever you go and start filming amazing content, or use your camera feature one yourself so. It sounds like you want to start a UA-cam-based side hustle and don't know where to begin. Do you have any questions for me I can answer for you in a near future UA-cam video response?

Great seeing James here…. He recommended some spectacular Spanish wines and tapas bar…. Love Casa Del Abuelo Porras taste exactly like You Tiao in Malaysia/Singapore which locals like to dip in local black coffee for breakfast
25:30 ya no thanks I'll pass on the snails , I don't understand how anyone can eat snails , I'll pass because that looks disgusting , I know the Vietcong used to eat that stuff but that was out of survival , everything else looks great , some tasty looking food , great video . But for God sakes don't eat those snails , that probably one of the most disgusting and wired dishes in the universe , along with that infamous iguana sushi sushi video on UA-cam
Yes, and not just there, but in all China and anywhere that features Chinese origin food. You Tiao meaning literally oily sticks. I remember when back in 2007 I ran into them when I was in Nanjing, first time ever in China, and I was like "hold on, churros!?".
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 have you had snails before? Don't knock it til you try it. Snails are absolutely delicious. Remember Lobster was first eaten as survival. So thats no excuse to bash something. Good is good no matter what and snails are damn good.
Hope this gets some traction for James Blick and his channel. He deserves it. He gives some great info about Spain that really came in handy on our trip to Madrid.
@@pattonPwr there are infinite number of content in youtube, watch what you like and skip what you don't , but don't give negative comment to someone's hardwork. and this channel is about traveling and eating all kinds of food(veg n non-veg), and by food i meant which is obviously eatable. and different countries have different culture and diverse food, learn to respect each culture. if you can't appreciate or respect someone's culture or someone's content or hardwork, just skip and don't watch. unsubscribe. don't speard negativity, i think we have enough of that.
Ugh.. the shrimp, the anchovies... the snails w/ chorizo! I'm so envious, yet so humbled by the rich love of culinary traditional that's on display. These last couple Spain episodes were excellent, and to now get a whole hour in Madrid with Mark feels like a true gift.

My favourite is the snail restaurant. Such a precious old man, and the snails look delicious! Definitely put Madrid on my list for travel. Thanks, Mark!
Love James he was also my go-to during the entire pandemic loved the at home cooking vlogs he and Yoli are amazing so glad Mark finally was introduced to him and for all of you that don't know #spainrevealed ❤❤❤🤗
What an hommage to Amadeo. You captured history and its essence. What a man who deserved to have a few minutes of fame .. he was hilarious and fascinating!
These two have been having fun in Madrid! You are all so welcome to the southern most part of continental Spain, Cadiz. Best regards and keep enjoying.
I've watched a lot of Mark Wiens videos over the years and I think this is my absolute favorite one. James is a great guide and all the food looked phenomenal. Great vid Mark!
Mark really knows how to sell it hahaha. The way he indulges in the food and closes his eyes "oh wow" hahahaha. This guy loves his food and he analyses it so well. Respect 👊
exactly, that ,,oh wow,, is literally in every video :D :D :D even when it is like a milk or just a simple slice of bread :D :D sometimes Im thinking like, yeah.. Thats an act :D but respect anyways. u gotta do what u gotta do
As a full time remote worker, I’ve decided to start visiting some of the awesome spots I watch Mark eat at. Thank you for showing us these beautiful foods 😻
Just be careful with how long you stay or you could become a tax resident because you are working there. It doesn't matter that your employer is in your home country. Just read the small print carefully.

Those snails really looks good Mark! I've tried the snails cooked with coconut milk in Cabalen restaurant here in the Philippines but those snails looks way way better.
I love Spain. Really hope to visit there soon. People there are so energetic and full of passion. Guess the sunshine & weather there must be significant factors.

Wow, I remember Amadeo from Restaurante Casa Amadeo Los Caracoles when my parents took me often in the 1970s. My Dad used to have nice chats with him late into the night. I am so pleased to see he is still having fun at his Restaurante. The snails are amazing, it has been decades since we lived there. I miss the social part of eating Tapas. Spain was very inexpensive back in the day but the food looks just as authentic, simple made great.
I am from Madrid, people from Madrid are called cats, and I always say that a cat is not born, it is made... everyone is welcome to Madrid. Thank you for making such a nice video about my city, in Madrid and in Spain we welcome everyone with open arms. God bless you.
May I Know Why They Called Cat ? I Love Madrid
@@tonytonychopper4123 It is believed that it dates back to the year 1085, because a soldier scaled a wall with the help of a dagger to change the Islamic flag for a Christian one.
When I die I want to come back as a Madrelino
Cats are only people born in Madrid. Parents born in madrid AND granparents ( the four ) born in madrid . It's ver difficult and they are only few of them
Love Amadeo, 93 years old with a HEARTy appetite, great social skills. Wonderful host with lots of passion and love. Thank you Mark!
Nunca e ido a Espana, estoy tan emocionada. Cuando termine mis estudios me voy a vivir a Espana un año para conocer a mi papá por primera vez. ❤️ Estoy tan emocionada. 😍😍😍😍
La comida 🤤
Genial! Espero que puedas venir y lo disfrutes. Un abrazo
Espero que todo te vaya genial en tu aventura,aquí te recibiremos con los brazos abiertos,un cordial saludo desde🇪🇦🇪🇦
Mucha suerte !
Ahhhh, love Spain! The language, culinary, the history, just wow! Thank you for sharing, Mark! 💜Tiff
This was pure Pleasure eating! You had the perfect Gentleman with knowledge & history of the food, that truly makes a difference when visiting any different country or state.....Blessings to him...he was Awesome! The way I felt was people told their stories through their technique of cooking their food! In your words Mark Wow! My favorite was the 93 year old gentleman with so much life and energy! He just warmed my Heart! This is what you're giving to us. Not just food, but a chance to meet Cultures! Again & as Always "Great Job!
Mark has the best food videos , my favourite part is watching the grandpa serve and eat with them. His energy is so awesome
Spain cuisine is one of the best in world!!
Mark, that was excellent!! My hats off to James, what a great guide he was during your trip to Madrid. And I am looking forward to checking out his channel as well. Thanks gentlemen!
He has an excellent channel. Love his tapas hopping in different neighborhoods.
That sweet 93 yr old man is just golden. What a joy he is. Thank You for sharing this super special video. I very much enjoyed it.
Had the good fortune to meet and interact with Amadeo at the restaurant yesterday. What an amazing personality!!! An inspiration, to say the least. How the heck does he keep up his energy after all these years?!? To be honest, experiencing his hospitality and humor is at the top of my most memorable travel experiences. If you go, definitely try and sit inside where all the action is.
Tapas are amazing too. I love the food in Spain. It's so fresh and delicious.
DAMN. I've experienced this in spain, fresh made churros with chocolate. One of the best culinary memories ever.
Hello pretty
Wow imagine a whole day in Madrid eating tapas and drinking wine. This is the dream🤤
Aquí te esperamos, tranquila que no se van a acabar ni las tapas ni el vino 👍
I just love that grandpa truly love his own foods. Must be made with love.
En España los contrastes culturales se notan también en la comida y hacen que sea una maravilla por su variedad y riqueza gastronómica.
Un saludo fuerte!!
Aquí en España mojar la salsa con el pan es una cultura 😂😂😂
Spain Revealed, is one of the best vlogs on Spanish food and wine, have been a huge fan of James and Yollie, who were recently blessed with a daughter. James would have done two episodes in this much time. 😀
"Hay que sentir la felicidad de sentirse un buen roedor" jajaja iconic phrase, love it!
Spain truly is a one a kind. Amazing unique food.
iberic food . portugal is the same
True, greetings from Madrid, brother
Yes, Portugal too!! Excellent food and people !!
@@jorgebaiao1723 Spain+Portugal = brothers!
Madrid is AMAZING! One of my favorite places on earth.
Un saludo a los dos y gracias por lo que haceis y disfrutadlo por lo mereceis por el respeto con el que hablais las cosas!!!
Ah when I see you guys eating such delicious food I feel jealous...I miss Spain...I am from León but live in the USA...I watch you both and I am also subscribed to you both...Thank you for the fun of watching you two together...i know how good Spanish food is...It made my mouth water...I felt I was eating it with you... Thank you Mark for sharing your travels in my country...
Amparo...don't feel jealous my new UA-cam friend. You can always take a go Pro camera with you wherever you go and start filming amazing content, or use your camera feature one yourself so. It sounds like you want to start a UA-cam-based side hustle and don't know where to begin. Do you have any questions for me I can answer for you in a near future UA-cam video response?
@@SideHustleInspiration No, you missed the point...It has nothing to do with wanting filming anything in youtube...It is about me missing my country...Spain is one of the best places to be in the world...
@Khi White I will go back...It is where I was born and where I want to be in the near future...
Thank you very much Amparo!
@@amparoalvarez9001 explícale de dónde eres ,como se come en León(ese botillo,la cecina,el chorizo etc) sus maravillosas calles... y no digo na de las de tapeo😂 , su espectacular catedral,sus gentes....el pobre ,a lo mejor ,consigue entender la morriña que sientes.Un saludo desde Madrid.😊
Great seeing James here…. He recommended some spectacular Spanish wines and tapas bar…. Love Casa Del Abuelo
Porras taste exactly like You Tiao in Malaysia/Singapore which locals like to dip in local black coffee for breakfast
25:30 ya no thanks I'll pass on the snails , I don't understand how anyone can eat snails , I'll pass because that looks disgusting , I know the Vietcong used to eat that stuff but that was out of survival , everything else looks great , some tasty looking food , great video . But for God sakes don't eat those snails , that probably one of the most disgusting and wired dishes in the universe , along with that infamous iguana sushi sushi video on UA-cam
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 It was an old Roman dish, we eat them in the former Roman provinces: Spain, Italy, France and Portugal.
Yes, and not just there, but in all China and anywhere that features Chinese origin food. You Tiao meaning literally oily sticks. I remember when back in 2007 I ran into them when I was in Nanjing, first time ever in China, and I was like "hold on, churros!?".
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 have you had snails before? Don't knock it til you try it. Snails are absolutely delicious. Remember Lobster was first eaten as survival. So thats no excuse to bash something. Good is good no matter what and snails are damn good.
@@druiz012 snails are downright disgusting
All I can say "AMADEO" is freaking awesome 👌 now I want to go to Madrid
Un saludo desde España, un placer tenerte por nuestras tierras. Saludos desde Valencia :)
Mark wiens doing a collaboration with my favourite Spanish best UA-camr. brilliant!
Thank you very much Nathan!
Hope this gets some traction for James Blick and his channel. He deserves it. He gives some great info about Spain that really came in handy on our trip to Madrid.
Yeah 👌
that would be great but hope he does not promote eating 1 month old baby lambs.
@@pattonPwr it's ok to eat egg, ok to eat whole grown lamb, but not ok to eat month old lamb.. what's ur logic bro. r u high..
@@ringosingson5386 "it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have any feelings"
@@pattonPwr there are infinite number of content in youtube, watch what you like and skip what you don't , but don't give negative comment to someone's hardwork.
and this channel is about traveling and eating all kinds of food(veg n non-veg), and by food i meant which is obviously eatable. and different countries have different culture and diverse food, learn to respect each culture. if you can't appreciate or respect someone's culture or someone's content or hardwork, just skip and don't watch. unsubscribe.
don't speard negativity, i think we have enough of that.
Ugh.. the shrimp, the anchovies... the snails w/ chorizo! I'm so envious, yet so humbled by the rich love of culinary traditional that's on display. These last couple Spain episodes were excellent, and to now get a whole hour in Madrid with Mark feels like a true gift.

@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 okay copy and paste guy
@@porfiriato84 no man that's disgusting
@UC8ktWO_0DXGJaEe1L-xEalg you're the weirdest guy ever. You realize that?
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 ok Karen
My favourite is the snail restaurant. Such a precious old man, and the snails look delicious! Definitely put Madrid on my list for travel. Thanks, Mark!
Love James he was also my go-to during the entire pandemic loved the at home cooking vlogs he and Yoli are amazing so glad Mark finally was introduced to him and for all of you that don't know #spainrevealed ❤❤❤🤗
hey Kimberly, if you knew you can make $1 million from UA-cam videos as a side hustle, what would you do differently?
Great to hear that Kimberly, James is such a great guy!
Thank you so much Mark you are also definitely one of my biggest favorites ❤ 💕 ♥ 😊 💙 🤗 @MarkWiens
@@kimberlythomas1721 😀
Great collaboration with James. He and his wife have a great channel dedicated to Spanish food
What an hommage to Amadeo. You captured history and its essence. What a man who deserved to have a few minutes of fame .. he was hilarious and fascinating!
Me hizo llorar el momento en el que entraste en los caracoles,sólo con ver a ese hombre me emocioné.❤️
como me he divertido , españa es increible, como la amo.
These two have been having fun in Madrid! You are all so welcome to the southern most part of continental Spain, Cadiz. Best regards and keep enjoying.
Ole España, en el sur vas a alucinar. Vente para aquí.
@@POPCORN_BRAWL of course
Love Spain! Greetings from Bosnia ☺
Absolutely love the Spain videos so far and this looks to be as phenomenal 🥰
I've watched a lot of Mark Wiens videos over the years and I think this is my absolute favorite one. James is a great guide and all the food looked phenomenal. Great vid Mark!
Mark really knows how to sell it hahaha. The way he indulges in the food and closes his eyes "oh wow" hahahaha. This guy loves his food and he analyses it so well. Respect 👊
exactly, that ,,oh wow,, is literally in every video :D :D :D even when it is like a milk or just a simple slice of bread :D :D sometimes Im thinking like, yeah.. Thats an act :D but respect anyways. u gotta do what u gotta do
Oh ho ho ho this garbage this tastes like crap ! Oh I understand because that is what it is!😵💫
You have to pay attention to how far he leans over. That tells you how good it is. Also, if he just nods, it's not that good.
He borders on the obnoxious to be honest.
Madrid always good option, the best food is the Spanish food. Yo must go to Valencia mark!
I love James' energy. The two of you together, your energy is contagious 😊
Thank you very much Cornelia!
One Kiwi Foodie. One Thai Foodie. Eating Spanish. Holly Molly 🤣 Lamb Superb.
Bravo❤
As a full time remote worker, I’ve decided to start visiting some of the awesome spots I watch Mark eat at. Thank you for showing us these beautiful foods 😻
Just be careful with how long you stay or you could become a tax resident because you are working there. It doesn't matter that your employer is in your home country. Just read the small print carefully.
What do you work for?

Good luck Nick, that's a solid plan. I recommend coming to Korea for a great experience, both food and travel wise 🙂
@@FlavorofMind I LOVE Korean food!! This is definitely going to happen at some point. :)
I am going back to Madrid in a few months. I was there just before covid. I can't wait. I always follow Jame's advice. Salutations from, USA>
Mark you brought back some memories of our time in Madrid back in the 80’s. Great choice having James Blick with you - he has an awesome channel. Planning my return to España soon
Two legends coming together 🤌 we need more of this!!!
Agree! Spain is one of several best countries in the world !
Those snails really looks good Mark! I've tried the snails cooked with coconut milk in Cabalen restaurant here in the Philippines but those snails looks way way better.
BEST snails I ever had (many sizes as well) was in Vietnam, many affordable places you can eat them!!
I love Spain. Really hope to visit there soon. People there are so energetic and full of passion. Guess the sunshine & weather there must be significant factors.
I was in Madrid about 25 yrs ago. Spme of Their food reminds me of our food in the
Philippines esp in Iloilo City.
What a great video man,this right there is real Spanish food😁👍🏼
Aren't they in Spain? It would be more authentic than Hispanic dishes. Which are a combination of Spanish, native, and African.
My 2 best food vloggers together! How fabulous! Thanks for an amazing Madrid experience! How you guys manage to eat so much, is incredible. Just adored Amadeo….. what an inspiration. Muchas gracias! ❤️ please try the best tortilla at plaza Sant’ Ana at cerveceria Alemana.
fantabulous
Estos restaurantes son maravillosos, la calidad de sus productos es extraordinaria, así como el trato personal. De lo mejor del mundo. Muchas gracias por visitar nuestro país, Mark.
Greetings from Barcelona, Spain!
I love Spanish restaurants too, Josep. Do you have a UA-cam-based side hustle channel as well?
Muchas gracias Josep!

I'm sorry, I don't have it. Kind regads.

De Madrid al cielo!!!
Sitting here in Australia with severe FOMO. I love Spain and those prawns looked magnificent 👌
I’m so excited to visit Spain for the first time next week 🇪🇸 thank you for this wonderful video, I’ve marked all of the local restaurants recommended! 💕 people seem so hospitable and the food serves in large portion 😍I can feel the joy from the screen haha
The way you enjoy the food, the culture and their people in every country you go to it’s amazing!! You are the best Mark! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love this episode!! Now, I would like to visit Spain because of this video. Your guide is so well-informed too, Mark! Well done!!
If you come to Spain you will never want to leave, I will tell you.
I miss living in Spain! Tapas bar hopping with friends was so fun.
Amazing view and sound in Madrid, I can never get enough from the views of Madrid, A great city tour :) Greeting from the Philippines ❤💚
