Hey everyone. My name is Ross. I was born in the US, live in Spain and love to travel and talk to the people wherever I go. Whoever said "the people make the place" was on the right track. The word "flaneur" means "a man who wanders around and observes society." Thanks for stopping by and for watching the videos.
Funny having this Spanish town owned by England. It would be like having Weymouth being owned by Spain! I assume most are still Spanish but with a large "expat" English element. Its funny when the interviewer talks to the "expats" and say "so & so is from Spain" but *THIS IS SPAIN!*
Soy sevillana, la filosofia del andaluz , hay trabajar para vivir, pero no vivir para trabajar. Para nosotros es importante las relaciones humanas, necesitamos el contacto con la calle y las personas.
Have to say my experience as an American visitor to Portugal and Spain were night and day, Portuguese were so kind and welcoming, Spanish not so much, although the Celts in Spanish Galicia and Basques in Spain were super kind.
For introverts and non messy people who like their calm and have things in order, spanish cities are exhausting: Loads of people, shouting in your ear passing by you (talking to someone on the phone or further away) loads of bad smells (trash, shit, urine) and bad air. Also most of the people don´t speak english, some even pretend they don´t. So interactions in shops can be weird sometimes. On the other hand the social culture in spain is much more developed and so much happier than for example in germany: People meet all of the time, they make music, they dance, they drink, they have fun. All of that noise comes from restaurants, bars, churches (music), and places where people come together and socialize. I like that a lot. But for me personally: My personal boundaries were overstepped many times. I love music, i love eating, i love drinking but I need my peace sometimes. I need a clean environment without shit, piss and trash everywhere. So I see the magic, but for me personally I would not go to Spain again for a city tour (Sevilla, Malaga, Cordoba, Granada ...). I have been there, i dont need to repeat it.

Gibraltar is nothing more than a non-self-governing territory, subject to the process of decolonisation, in two words: a colony. It was included on the UN list of territories to be decolonised in 1963 and has remained there ever since. Since that year, therefore, the UN Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, the so-called Committee of 24, has included it among the territories within its competence. In 1964 this Committee reached a consensus on the situation in the Non-Self-Governing Territory of Gibraltar urging the United Kingdom and Spain to begin talks without delay in order to find a negotiated solution. The following year the General Assembly endorsed the terms of the consensus and invited both nations to begin such talks. Year after year the UN has maintained this mandate to the two states, which therefore remains in full force and effect. It is also worth noting that the UN calls for decolonisation in accordance with the principle of territorial integrity and not by virtue of any supposed right of self-determination of a hypothetical Gibraltarian ‘people’ (indeed, in 1967 it condemned the referendum held in Gibraltar). It does state that the interests of the people of Gibraltar must be heard. They have an excellent channel for that: the British Government. negotiations on sovereignty are a matter for London and Madrid alone. In short, for the UN what we have is a colonial situation that must be brought to an end. Disputes between countries must be resolved in accordance with international law, not on the basis of the proclaimed will of a people. The British have always abused our good faith and our moments of weakness. Spain voluntarily established a neutral zone, while maintaining its exclusive sovereignty. In 1815, for humanitarian reasons and because of a yellow fever epidemic, the British were authorised to use it temporarily to build a sanitary camp, but this zone was never returned. The airport was built in 1938, in the middle of the Spanish Civil War, on the usurped isthmus, under the misleading name of ‘emergency landing strip’, later converted into an aerodrome, airport and finally, an air base. The fence had to be opened in 1986 because of the risk of the British exercising their veto on Spain's entry into the EU.

Vivo en la Costa del sol, en la parte occidental, Málaga como ciudad no me gusta pero tiene a la gente que la hace muy agradable, las ciudades grandes no me llenan, Granada y Córdoba las disfruto paseando pero en Málaga no encuentro el pedigrí de Granada, Córdoba o Cádiz, será porque son mas pequeñas, Ronda es le pequeña ciudad que mas me llena, preciosa en todos sus rincones
Granada es la ciudad que mas me gusta de España, vivo a dos horas y cuando puedo me escapo para disfrutarla, el dicho popular "No hay peor castigo que ser ciego en Granada"
