This channel is all about Mike & Yvonne spending time in their second home in Torrevieja. They get about on their e-bikes and fly a drone to get great views of the surrounding areas. They are based between the two great salt lakes in Torrevieja. They visit popular locations, bars, restaurants and landmarks and usually end up with a drink somewhere to summarise the day. The channel is informative, often speaking about popular subjects like living in Spain, the cost of living in Spain, the Schengen 90-days in 180 rule and other non-resident information regarding living part-time in Spain.
If you like what they do, if they have helped you in any way with information or advice or if you just enjoy their content, you can help support the channel with SuperThanks or on our buy me a Coffee page. Large or small they would be very appreciative of whatever you passed their way. It all helps with travel and production costs. Thank you so much. www.buymeacoffee.com/@betweenthelakes.

Hi Martin, thanks for watching and for your nice comments. We did try to get to Goatland by car but the road was closed so we gave up. I have been there before, I used to work on Heartbeat many years ago...Hope you had a nice birthday, All the best Mike and Yvonne.

Like you still in Costa Blanca exile. Not been to Whitby since we lived in South Yorkshire until 2004-2007. Scarborough is still my favourite but I still compare everything to Spanish prices. Your accommodation appeared basic for the price but it is August or perhaps I am out of touch.
Hi Iain, yes, the hotel was basic but decent value for Summer. We will no doubt try Scarborough again, maybe next year.Thanks for watching, all the best Mike and Yvonne.
Hi, pleased you enjoyed the video. Our next one will be a comparison between Lidl in UK and Lidl in Torrevieja, coming soon...Thanks for watching, Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
Hi Linda, thanks for your comment. We have been in UK now for over a month. We got back from Turkey after doing 4 episodes there. We will be back in Spain in a few days time. We are always a few weeks behind. Our next episode is in Whitby then after that a cost of living episode between UK and Spain. Thanks for watching, all the best Mike and Yvonne.
Hi Shaun and Alicia, thanks for watching. We put a post on CNR's Facebook page, he must have thought we'd forgotten about him. He was good enough to give us a lift home and he gave us a good meal, really enjoyed it. Thanks again and best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

Hi Martin, very happy that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the great comments. We really appreciate you watching and commenting. All the best, Mike and Yvonne.
Hi Scott, yes if you want to see a great sunset this is the best place to be in Turkey. Also a huge market with everything at bargain prices. Thanks for watching, all the best Mike and Yvonne.

Hi Jason, thanks for watching and for your comment. We wish you all the best with your plans to buy in Torrevieja. Any queries regarding properties, contact Casas Espania, Helen and Andy will be happy to help.
Hi Mike and Yvonne, another excellent and brilliantly put together video. Loved it! So funny, Yvonne referring to the salty sea, "I wasn't drinking it, it just kept going in me mouth... bit like the beer" 😂😂
Great video,👍 was really nice to meet you guys , hope the channel grows , Best regards Shaun & Alicia (The Mancave Workshop) Looking forward to your next video 😎
Hi Shaun and Alicia, hope you enjoyed the video and your contribution to it. Thanks for doing it, you came across really well. We have subscribed to your channel. Might bump into you in some other distant country, you never know. All the best Mike and Yvonne.
Thank you so much Fred. As we are not in Torrevieja, we would rather put something out there on our channel that is not Costa Blanca based than be absent from it. However, we still lose a few subscribers when we do this, but as long as someone like yourself is enjoying it then that's reward enough for us. All the best, Mike and Yvonne.
Great video I felt as if I was there. Do you know it’s lovely to see you both enjoying yourselves. Make the most of your retirement as you do there will come a time when all you have are memories.
Hi Bryan, thanks for watching. yes, we are becoming more and more, aware, as time goes on, just how quickly your life disappears. We will try and make the most of it while we can. All the best, Mike and Yvonne.
hi mike yvonne , i could feel the relaxing vibe guys , clear waters, clear sky's, froffy beers, ice cream, great company, whats not to like ? (yvonnes tide marks) 🤐not enough time sunbathing/drinking on the solarium guys, 🌅, looking forward to your road trip back to torri. ps sorry yvonne your the treasure of clecky.
Hi Sven,yes, it was a very nice relaxing day. The weather was very hot, 40 degrees most of the time we were there. It is hotter there in the Aydin region than it is in Costa Blanca. Hope you and Anna are well. All the best, Mike and Yvonne.
Hi Susan, thanks for your very nice comment. The Siesta trips are great for us because we like the quiet chilled out trips as opposed to the noisy loud music ones. Thanks for watching, all the best, Mike and Yvonne.
Enjoyed the VLOG and something different. I know it may be in a previous video but what Shenghen Calculator do you use? We have been out in Punta Prima around the same time you chaps were in late Spring but with the rolling days you are out at the end of August and we returned 29th May but the earliest I can get us out for six weeks is mid October. Now planning until late 2025.
Hi Iain, thanks for watching. We now use "a calculator called Schengen Simople" It's probably the best one as it takes into account past, current and future trips. See it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e7IVOfyQPto.html All the best, Mike and Yvonne.
lovely video, very professional: different optics, aerial shots, tracking shots, great soundtrack, games with focus, clean audio, backgrounds, light, ... really great, without a doubt one of the best on your channel, congratulations
Hi Andicoberry1, thanks for watching our videos. You are very kind with your lovely comments and also very knowledgeable regarding video production techniques. We wish you all the best, thanks again, Mike and Yvonne.
It will be great when the harbour development is complete. Torrevieja is fast becoming the best place to be in Southern Costa Blanca.....Thanks for watching and for your comment. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne
Thank you Mike and Yvonne, I know the entire Costa Blanca very very well for many years, when I was a child I went fishing at the lighthouse and especially at the Salt Pier, then the marina almost did not exist, it was more of a fishing port and of course a salt loading point for ships. I also spent vacations in La Mata, anyway...congratulations, you know that you live in a paradise, greetings
Hi Lawrence, we did have a drink there and it was nice but we didn’t film it. Maybe next time we will. Thanks for watching, all the best Mike and Yvonne.
Hi Steven, yes, they are an excellent team and played better than us on the day. Roll on World Cup 2026....Thanks for watching, all the best Mike and Yvonne.
Thanks Mike and Yvon for the information about the Port of Torrevieja! We following you for a couple of years and we enjoy your cooperation with you both! Muchas Gracias Jaco and Trudy
How heavy are your bikes? I noticed you live on top floor bungalow. Do you have to carry them upstairs? We are looking to buy a top floor bungalow and worry about carrying things upstairs 😂
Hi Nicola, Thanks for watching. They are not too bad. We bought the foldable small bikes for that reason, I knew I would have to carry them upstairs. So far so good, I can still do it...Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
