Aw thanks Millie! So glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

Ironically I typed Madrid vs Barcelona looking exactly for this video and it's the first and only relevant one that came up, all the other ones were sports 😂 Thank you for the info ❤❤

Haha I'm so glad! 😄 Thanks for watching!

Spent a few weeks in Barcelona and Madrid this summer. Explored the vegan food scene intensively. In Madrid, Pizzi&Dixie and GarBanzo had the most delicious vegan food. In Barcelona, it was chez Kessler, Barceloneta and cafe equilibrium. I LOVED the vegan cheeses Spain had to offer. Much better than the US.

@Orlagh Год назад

So glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like you ate some delicious food 🤤🤤

@danlozinsky8615 Год назад

You gave excellent comparison of two major cities in Spain. Very good presenter

@Orlagh Год назад

Ahh thanks very much 😄

@TheSanarossOne 2 месяца назад

I would add for the Barcelona side (for work and professional matters) : the catalan language can sometimes be requested on top of English and sometimes in place of Spanish for some companies and some key role positions. This is because in some companies, business and politics are an intersection. It can be a bit frustrating, but you can either learn catalan or opt for an international company in Barcelona, which there are a decent number of them. I lived in Madrid and now live in Barcelona, and honestly, I like both cities... If I had a golden spoon, I would spend fall and winter in Madrid and then move to Barcelona for spring and summer, hahaha!

@schongluck170 Месяц назад

Very helpful and honest comparison, thank you

@RobertRod818 Год назад

I have never been to Spain. But based on what I have heard from many people, Madrid seems to be a city to live and Barcelona a city to visit.

@Orlagh Год назад

That's definitely how I feel about it 😄 thanks for watching!

@jorge5353 Год назад

Madrid definitely!

@Orlagh Год назад

I agree!

@chantalmarieee 2 года назад

Great video! I’m tossing up the idea of coming to Spain for a couple months to see if I’d like to move there. I spent two month in Barcelona and even though I loved it, I wonder if I would like it as place to live full time outside of vacation.

@Orlagh 2 года назад

Ahh thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed! Yeah it's definitely a different feeling if you're not in holiday mode. Keep me updated to see how you get on 😄

@RayChancho 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tips, I'm planning to move to Spain next year, and had the opportunity to choose the city, Madrid or Barcelona thanks to your insights, I will choose Madrid.

@Orlagh 11 месяцев назад

@knsmith91 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much for sharing! By chance could you do a comparison video of Madrid and Valencia?

@MichelleSMV Год назад

This was such an all round really informative video. I’m going to be moving to Madrid in a few months and it’s hard to really find information that applies to me. Thanks for touching on inclusivity especially (since it’s been hard to find info on that for me). Also thanks for talking about vegan places! I’m not vegan but I do really love vegan food so it’s great info to know

@Orlagh Год назад

I'm so glad this video was helpful for you and thanks for leaving such a lovely comment :) Let me know if you have any extra questions about Madrid and good luck with the move :)

@MichelleSMV Год назад

Thank you so much! And thank you for offering. If I have any questions I’ll shoot you a comment 💕 as for the move, I’m excited and terrified at the same time 😆

@Orlagh Год назад

@@MichelleSMV Not sure if you've already moved or not but hope it is going well 😄 definitely normal to be equally excited and terrified!

@MichelleSMV Год назад

@@Orlagh thanks! Not yet! Gonna be moving in July haha. Hopefully it’s not too hot then though 😅

@Orlagh Год назад

@@MichelleSMV Cool! I'll be honest, July is potentially the hottest month 🤣 but people leave the city around then so it's a good time to look for flats! Swings and roundabouts 😄

@Orlagh Год назад

Thankyou! It sure is a great city 😄

@AlexisCS Год назад

I’ve lived in both cities. I was just watching out of curiosity and I fully agree: Madrid, great place to live. Barcelona, great place to visit. Great video ☺️

@Orlagh Год назад

Thankyou! I'm glad you enjoyed watching 😄

@amadiez Год назад

Such an informative video, thank you for sharing!! Do you have any info on vegan options in terms of groceries? Do mainstream supermarkets offer vegan alternatives? Do products have labels or do you usually need to refer to the ingredients list? Are there vegan supermarkets or specialised stores? 🌱

@Orlagh Год назад

There are more and more options everyday and the main supermarkets have options but not as many as in the UK or other countries. There are vegan supermarkets like Planet Vegana for example but they tend to be a bit more on the expensive side.

@Orlagh Год назад

Also everything is labelled really clearly :)

Madrid lifestyle. Por vida

@Orlagh Год назад

Estoy acuerdo contigo 😄

@sakurabandi Год назад

Barcelona has beach Madrid doesn’t, both cities are warm, but i choose Madrid because even tho it doesn’t have a beach you can go there as on vacations and weekends, Marbella, Barcelona Sevilla and etc. For vacations these are the best cities but Madrid is for job and it’s better than Barcelona

@Orlagh Год назад

Thanks for your comment 😄

@RR-et6zp 11 месяцев назад

I agree Barcelona is less safe and people (groups) stick to themselves more

As a vegan I love that you talked about the vegan perspective 💚💚💚

If i get 2200 euro a month before tax, is that good or bad to live in madrid?

@Orlagh 2 года назад

That's a good salary for Madrid and nearly double what the minimal salary is here. You can definitely have a great quality of life but it depends what you're used to

@Zoenak 2 года назад

@@Orlagh wow thank you for replying so quickly :) I'm watching a few of your videos right now. I might have that job where I have to be in Spain but still work remotely. Can't decide between Madrid and valencia to move. Thanks again

@joshuapayne9811 Год назад

Is it worth to stay in Barcelona for a month?

@Orlagh Год назад

Yeah I think so 😄 there's lots of things to do so a month is a great amount of time to explore the city.

@myash32 Год назад

Are you still in spain?

@sweetsoysauce9823 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so so much for talking about inclusivity!

@097hhd63 Год назад

Would you say that people in Barcelona are more superficial as in Madrid? I feel like Barcelona is a party city and for some reason I often (not always) associate that with arrogant or "cool" people, but I try to avoid that. Madrid looks like it doesn't have that and all people I've seen in videos look very kind, human and empathic.

@Orlagh 11 месяцев назад

I wouldn't say so, no. I think there are a variety of people in each city just like there are everywhere 😄

@diegosense2833 9 месяцев назад

There’s way more party and overall nightlife in Madrid than in Barcelona my friend, way more.

Why is it "unfortunate" to have a rise on the right? If you don't like the politics, leave.

@Orlagh Год назад

Spoken like somebody clearly on the right 😉

@leopolda.o.6905 Год назад

@@Orlagh it never fails to see some folks move to countries and start imposing their Marxist ideology on the people.

@RobertRod818 Год назад

I'm on the right, but I respect, everyone's political view.

@mrclandestine9000 Год назад

Very distasteful rude coment, keep your political opinions out of your videos be neutral even if u hate the right or left , this isnt about that makes you look foolish and uprofesional sorry
