I literally started to cry when that man was talking about feeding people who were hungry. He was a lifeboat to his community. THAT is what I love about this country; they love their fellow man. This was the important message. Spain is love. Saludos desde Asturias.

@@youssef24231, probably not as often as I should. I do donate to Accion Contra El Hambre, but I don't think that's what you mean. I also have fed people on the street but I could certainly do more. How about you? What's your favorite way to help those struggling?

Fantastic, James, as always. Foreigners can't get over A) the concept of free food in Spain with your drink, or B) THE ABUNDANCE of free food, in some places, in the form of tapas. Thanks for the insight. Sincerely, Scott in Madrid (18-years! and from the USA)

As a Finnish person, considering the prices of those drinks on this video are outrageously cheap, while a business idea of serving free food along drinks is just crazy wild 😮 Spain just raised to number one on my travel bucket list 😅

@padders1068 11 месяцев назад

James & Phil, thanks for sharing. I have experienced free Tapas in Calahonda, on the south coast, they were more snack sized, but after visiting quite a few bars we had to politely ask for no Tapas as we couldn't eat anymore. Spain and it's people are fantastic.

@tomjohnson4584 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this great video, James. Your recent questionnaire was spot on and this video says it all: 1) You’re diving deep (for non- Spaniards) into Spanish culture. 2) You (and Phil!) have a talent for making it accessible. 3) For people that want to know more about Spain’s underbelly, your channel is the place to go. You have a knack for finding what interests us. I’m proud of you.

@frankbalmer6860 11 месяцев назад

Places like this have been operating in Benidorm old town for many years and are extremely popular. During the day they a reasonably quiet but at night you have to go before 8PM or you will have to queue and wait for a table. Highly recommended

I have to add however, that personally I prefer to go to a bar, where I have to pay for my tapas. Because that also means that I can choose the "right" bar for the tapa I want, and get the tapa I crave in a good quality.

@AceFrass 11 месяцев назад

Ah! I knew the Tigre looked familiar! My foreign exchange brother (I'm from the US, and he is from Madrid) took me to the Tigre to meet his college friends when I came to visit. It was a wild experience, we went before a night out and it was packed with students. Great atmosphere and so much fun!

James - Top Notch as expected. Well Done. I really enjoyed the underlying ethos/culture/sense of community from the background of Pepe and his efforts being beyond running a successful restaurant. It was also nice of you to include Phil so that he could present himself as a less than socially awkward boy from the UK. Good that you have taken him under your wing - he shows some promise if given the proper direction. (please read the Phil comments with tongue firmly placed in cheek.)

El tubo en Zaragoza, Pedro Antonio de Alarcón (aunque ya no es lo mismo) en Granada, rutas de tapeo castellanas por Zamora, Valladolid y Segovia, y supongo que hay más, Salamanca no la conozco, pero no debe estar mal. Ruta almeriense pasando por el quiosco de ciudad jardín, entre otros, con comida (otro día) en la barraquilla de el Alquián. En El Carmen en Valencia, El Pilar, El Molinon, y los que estén de moda en el momento, y por las mañanas Cacaus d'or, el de las tortillas de la calle céntrica de dos manzanas Félix Pizcueta merece dos visitas, una solo por las tortillas, una ruta de tapas por El Palmar con más de 30 restaurantes. La ruta del tapeo de Benidorm. El viaje en barco a las bateas en Galicia con el "all you can eat and drink" de molusco y vinho verde, Y seguro que más que desconozco. Y el barrio de la Santa Cruz en Sevilla, con su Bodega al final de la cuesta, y si es época, sin perdonar los caracoles.

@@JanG_GC read 2foodtrippers blog about Girona tapas scene, the fork, tripadvisor, gastroranking, viajesytapas, and restaurantguru, share most of the recommended places. Good luck. My advice is not to miss botifarra, blanca negra i d'ou, - black white and yellow sausages, cheaper at local grocery stores, or markets and not only those, and you will buy them and ask for e-mail or e-shop to continue eating them - peus de pork - pork hands - canelons - bechamel caneloni - and anchovies from L'Escala, and beans with sausage and of course croquettes and crema catalana dessert similar to cream Brulé, plus cremat coffee (more of the south, but you'll find it) that is burnt rum (better Mascaró brand) with coffee. Enjoy the trip.

I flew into Madrid today and after checking in to my hotel, I checked out Casa Alberto which you recommended in one of your posts. Let me tell you, the place was great and although very busy, I was able to get a table. I ordered 3 different tapas, including the Machenda cheese, but totally forgot your highly recommended Bull's Tail Stew. I am thinking about a return trip for the stew. Everything was exceptional. I told my waiter you recommended the place. He smiled a big grin. Love your posts.

A 30 year old family run business, that gets packed on Thursdays and Fridays with delicious free tapas for every drink. ( they’re much smaller than the ones in your video, but you will find good quality and a very friendly atmosphere too).

An excellent video. You two are very funny together. This is real tapas in Spain as opposed to some of the “designer” places you’ve shown who cater for the tourists and at greater cost. Both have their places but I prefer the traditional way. The best tapas I ever had was in a back street in Cuenca where we were served plate after plate of delicious tapas…..they then asked us if we wanted to stay for dinner but there was no way we could eat any more. It’s a great tradition 👍🍷.
