I recommend you in Almeria to go to "El quiosco de ciudad jardín", and "la Barraquilla de El Alquian". And if you go back to Valencia, make a round of "all i pebres" in "El Palmar" island, perhaps the island with more restaurants per inhabitant and per square feet. It is a dish that can be eaten in tapa, but it will disappear soon because ales are disappearing. Last but not least, go to the "feria del tomate del Perelló" any year. I think it is the best tomato all over the world, and you can eat it only there and nearby, and only in summer, and there is also special "Feria" tomato dishes, and not only salads, from restaurants in the zone.
I write this comment because this morning a VERY annoying person has been sending me messages on WhatsApp asking me to enter the video and like it, promising me money if I did it, obviously I'll send it to hell. Most of the likes and subscribers are fake. I'm also Spanish (SI SOY ESPAÑOS ESCRIVO ESTO PARA QUE VEAN QUE SE ESCRIVIR EN ESPAÑOL Y SE DE LO QUE HABLO JUSTO HAORA) everything in the video is a lie. Congratulations, you have my dislike and reported to RU-vid for spam and attempted scam.
The production of this video was outstanding!!! A full visual menu along with a very interesting and informative narrative. Taking turns between you to narrate (with a different background each time) was also good on the senses, as it kept you alert and attentive to the information provided. Personally, I would also like to go to Jerez. The Flamenco museum also peaked my interest. Thanks for another awesome video and wishing you all a Feliz Año.
We visited Bilbao and San Sebastián for the 1st time in Nov 2023 … the food was amazing as expected ... we getting too old for bar hopping Basque life … sometimes we just want a sit down quiet dinner 😅
How easy was it to visit San Sebastián from Bilbao? My son is flying into Bilbao from Madrid..but is thinking about spending a night in San Sebastián. Can he do a day trip from Bilbao if he takes the train or should he spend a night?
Porque no, Huesca, Teruel, Cuenca, Soria, Palencia, Zamora, O Guadalajara? O Jaén con reservas del lince, cabra Montesa, en sierra de Cazorla y varías ciudades Ptrimonio de la humanidad ?
I’ve walked sections of the senda litoral and while it’s great for catching a sunset or sunrises, you still have to deal with lots of interference in terms of infrastructure. Coincidentally, there is a Camino de Santiago from Malaga heading north called the Camino mozárabe for those who want to actually get into the true Malaga and Andalusian countryside. Great video like always.
Great recommendations! Northern Spain is always a fantastic choice to visit and of course Spain is full of beautiful villages that are well worth visiting such as La Alberca, Trujillo, Altea, Puebla de Sanabria and many more. Greetings and thanks for the video!! Enjoy this 2024!!
You guys are amazing, the images, beautiful, the editing, sharp... but nothing would ever work without the incredible screenplay that you develop! It is really something to admire! Congrats from Brazil!
Just returned from our first trip to Spain-thank you for your GREAT video introductions and suggestions! We went to Burgos in north central Spain expecially to see the Museum of Human Evolution (because of the ancient human remains in Atapuerca) and we were blown away-by that museum, the city museum, the Cathedral, just everything! Even Gaia a vegetarian restaurant across the plaza from our hotel Meson del Cid. The whole trip focused on antiquities and we were not disappointed-Madrid, Huelva, Sevilla, Barcelona, Segovia in ten days (not nearly enough). Rode trains mainly, had a home base in Madrid, ate great food,hot chestnuts on the Rambla in Barcelona- amazin trip. I need about 4 more trips with different themes! SPAIN IS AWESOME!
Hi Elena, I plan on traveling to Spain in October and I was thinking of Barcelona and Madrid, but would you recommend any other place? Those are just a place that pop up, but I know there’s tons of beautiful places to go to.
Hola a todos! Nice channel you’ve got here. I especially like that you’re also helping people immigrate to Spain. I am new here and currently uploading my experience in Spain unto my channel and will be happy to collaborate on ways to enjoy Spain and make money as well. As someone who has travelled around the world and lived on 6 continents, I find Spain really interesting- which is why I started documenting my travels here.
I've driven across The Pyrenees many times over the years. Mind blowing. There's some great camp sites, some very basic but in spectacular settings. You'll have a great time.
Don't miss the beautiful and ancient town of Seron in Almeria Province about a one hour drive up the spectacular Andalusian mountains from Almeria city. The vistas are stunning and Seron is where the famous Serrano ham originated and still made today. There's a huge ham festival in the summer. It's a white town of silver cobblestone streets. Truly a Spanish treasure.
Thank you guys, great video. I went to Pontevedra when doing el Camino a Santiago, beautiful small town a surprise actually, I keep telling everybody that Pontevedra is the cleanest town / city javelin ever seen in my life.
Thanks, James and Yoly. A wonderfully presented guideline for Spain in 2024. Jerez, Almeria and the Pyrenees all sound like great places to explore. I traveled through Jerez and Almeria on a road trip years ago and thought they were stunning.
A BIG thing to potentially address. Traveling to Barcelona in March. MOST US credit cards will not work right now to book the Sagrada Familia because of the new EU requirement for two factor autentication for credit cards. Something most US credit cards do not have. The reservations are being declined for US customers. This could be a BIG problem. Anything you can suggest? The Sagrada Familia staff is not the most responsive.
No,no,no. The north of Spain is not trendy, it rains a lot, you have to walk through too many mountains, too many cliffs and backroads. No! Avoid it! Go as always to Torremolinos or to the coasts of Valencia, stay there, among the crowds.
Can anyone suggest any really good flamenco shows in or aroun Málaga? I'm going to Spain on Monday with my family. So excited. It's one of my favourite places to be. We're going to Málaga this time because it's warm there. We have snow and very low temperatures here where we live.
By the way... Please remember, if you guys are ever in Copenhagen, please hit me up for places to stay, food etc :-) and so I can invite you for a beer :-)
Thankyou! I'm from Sydney and just spent six weeks in Spain in 2023 and it was wonderful - I still can't stop obsessing about it. I've already started a new list of places to visit "next time". (Although a 350 euro dinner might not be an option!!) I was lucky enough to visit some spots in the Spanish Pyrenees and would highly recommend it! So beautiful - you'll love it. Love watching your videos! Hasta pronto!
I find funny when people recommend Oviedo as summer holiday destination. Oviedo is a city that shines in winter and is boring in summer. During the summer even the smallest coast towns are more alive than Oviedo. After all, that's where the ovetenses are too.
This is great stuff. We love your channel. We are going to Spain in 2025 and are thinking that the fast trains are the way to go for us. Coming from Australia, a little nervous about driving. So more train destinations please.
I’m going to Santiago and other towns of the North in September this year. I’m so excited to finally being able to visit where my grandparents were from 🥹🥹🥹 first time in Spain too 🇪🇸 love your videos btw ❤
This was your best video yet! Especially since I’m from Jerez and you’re focusing on my hometown. This year we’ll be traveling from Texas 🤠, to Madrid, Valencia, Murcia and Jerez to see the fam!

I just discovered your channel and now I am re doing my itinerary for my trip to Spain. Your video on the fast trains in Spain was very informative for me. Going to be watching all your videos. Cheers from Canada.
En Jerez tierra del caballo pura raza española, PRE. y la Real Escuela de Equitacion . Con la doma Clasica y Española. Y sus yeguas y sementales padres y madres de los mejores caballos del mundo.
Oh I would love to go to Spain. My grandmother’s parents are from Spain. They came to Ellis Island in New York and moved to Texas. My grandmother was born after arriving in Texas. I wish I could go to Spain it would be awesome to visit where my grandparents are from. I also wish I was rich and my grandma still alive I’d take my family. Whoever visits Spain please enjoy your trip for my family and I 😊😉 btw @spainrevealed I love your video ❤ thank you thank you 🙏 I get to experience Spain through you 😊
Oh, Yoli! The expressiveness of your hands/fingers when you introduced the "flamenco" section of the video! While I love certain forms of dance, I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about flamenco. But ... O.M.G.!
My friend is going to Las Fallas this year with 80 yo parents with mobility issues. Also Barcelona, Madrid and London on the same trip. Wish them much luck. Happy safe travel.
I'm spending 6 days in Granada for Easter and really looking forward not just to the parades but also to visiting the rural areas surrounding Granada. I'm then heading to Jerez and Cadiz for 3 days. The Flamenco museum will be on my list!
I wish Northern Spain was warmer! We actually had our last 2023 and first 2024 trip in Spain. It was also our babymoon. It was amazing seeing a bit more of Andalucía. We stayed in Málaga and did day trips to Benalmádena and Granada. I simply love Spain ❤
wow, the work on the content quality is so much visible I feel your channel is becoming must-watch for me as a fresh immigrant in Spain! thanks so much for your efforts!
Thank you for your video...we already explored Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona and Seville, next stop in two weeks is Valencia...hopefully we will get to explore north as well as there is so many amazing places to see in Spain.
James and Yoly, thanks for the update and for sharing. Asturias is stunning, I've only been there once but would highly recommend it as a place to add to your travel plans! Much ❤ to you both!
I'm walking the Camino Primitivo this year, which will start in Oviedo. Last year I talked the Invierno starting at Ponferrada, and it's a beautiful city.
I am swiss, and nope, forget the "Zurich - Barcelona" connection. It's not gonna happen, at least not this year. It required funding from a proposed law. That law, however, was declined in a referendum. So the funding is simply not there. I am sure, it will become reality in the future, but not this year. (PS: Even if the funding would suddenly appear, it would still not happen, as the trains required for it are not available. The whole Nightjet network has already not enough trains, and new ones are only slowly entering service.)
If you visit Jaen around May, you might want to take a side trip to Cordoba for their annual "Fiesta de Los Patio." Cordoba's famously beautiful, private home courtyards are open to the public. This year the event occurs May 2-12. I've never been there around that time, but I do find Cordoba and Granada to be the most alluring areas of Spain. (My ancestry for generations is in Galicia, but I'm more drawn to southern Spain.)
Northern Spain is often forgotten about and a lovely place. Of course, the weather isn't always great but there are many sights to see and it's less crowded. A more authentic experience too. I really like Fabada.
We are traversing the Pyrenees from Bilbao to Begur on the costa Brava staying here for a week via Ainsa and then back via Leila and Navara before travelling back to England via Bordeaux and Saumur in the Loire region, a three week journey in June, can’t wait
I'm thinking of visiting Extremadura. It seems the region has a lot to offer, and, since it is off the beaten track, more authentic. If only Iryo went there. The ETIAS thing is so confusing, it was supposed to go live this winter, but at the last minute, it's now 2025 apparently. So we're good for this year, I guess.
I'm most excited this year to be learning Spanish, I hope to go there again next year. I visited last year in my van (no aircon) but I arrived during the heatwave and had to stay in Northern Spain 😂 Which I loved! I'm excited to come back in 2025!
Great video as siempre! I am a Brit , who lived near The Pyrenees on the French side . Love them and got to do an amazing train trip from Bcn with Rodalies to Latour de Carol , in the heart of the Pyrenees . Just stunning and for 12€ !!! I now live in Gran Canaria and have asked Yoly on Insta when you are coming here . We have a little language school in Las Palmas and a nice room to rent , so ? ☺☺☺
Nice Video. If you don't want to spend lots of time in learning language then it is best way to learn some most useful phrase. and that too for some most repetitive conditions. Like in Medical condition what to say.. In Airport what to say...in Restaurant...etc. Here there is a book which have such most frequently used phrases in Portuguese, German, Spanish, Italian and French. Go for it. “START SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGES: TRAVEL GUIDE FOR CONVERSING IN EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.” this book will definitely help to use European language without learning it.
My bucket list would be to drive along the Pyrenees as well, but I will be hitting the various Paradores that are up there along with Besalú, Castellfollit de la Roca, Bagergue, Andorra la Vella, Benasque, Torla-Ordesa, Aínsa, Ansó, and Canfranc. Second choice would be Lanzarote. Albarracín would probably be my third. Weekend trips for us will be Zamora, León, Valencia, and Alicante. So much to see and love in Spain!
Hi. I love your videos. Very informative. I plan a holiday to Estepona in Spring. I,m thinking of retiring to that area. Any advice? I am a EU citizen. Best wishes.😊🎉❤❤
Thank you for sharing all this news! Although I'm from Spain I didn't know many of these things 😅 My Spanish students love your videos, so informative and useful when they visit Spain. I always recommend them to watch them before their trip.
I plant to go to Barcelona & Paris in a few weeks & taking a stop to visit Andorra for a couple days to explore nature. Please let me know if they have guided hiking tours in Andorra THANK YOU!!!
I thoroughly enjoy your informative channel. I will be traveling to Paris and other European cities in the very near future. Question: Years ago, I travelled on Eurail and found I could use the Information Kiosk, designated by 'I' at major train stations to make reservations for hotels and train travels. This was years ago. Do those Information Kiosks still exist for travelers to make hotel/pensione/accommodations bookings upon arrival? I found them to be very useful which gave me lots of flexibility with my itinerary instead of booking ahead with fixed accommodation.

What's happening with this spanish dictating tay /daily fees and about 100 quid a day for y holiday there daily?) If that's the case forget it cos I won't be going?..😅😅
Great list! I live in Pensacola, Florida, which is the winter training base for the American Magic sailing team. Barcelona is their summer training base. I'm hoping to get to see them practice in Barcelona when we're there in March. Let me know if you know of a practice schedule at Barceloneta!
Thank you for the warning about Americas Cup in Barcelona...I was thinking of staying closer to the waterfront when I am there in September since I have never had time to check out that part of the city...but maybe not! Good to be aware that lodging prices might be higher.
A bit worrying to hear flights will be stopped. I flew into Madrid earlier this year and the only train to Valencia that evening left Atocha 40 minutes after my plane landed (which was also slightly delayed). There was no way I would have made that connection, and it was the same story when looking at flights through Barcelona. (I ended up flying from Madrid a few hours later.) So it seems that in the future the only way to fly to Valencia will be via a city outside of Spain.
Interesting content, thank you for that. I'm surprised that there's always so much meat in your food shots, which is a bit out of fashion these days. Please give us some ideas or tour overviews with culinary themes for vegetarians, vegans and pescatarians.
What a shame you do not mention nor pay any attention to sustainability. Traveling by train is less polluting, the government is cutting local flights because if you can travel by train, it is the environmentally friendly option. You do not pay attention to any accommodations paying attention to sustainability, nor restaurants (Vegan initiatives are on the rise in Spain!), museums or other initiatives really showing how much we can do to cut our consumerism and be a responsible tourist.
Excellent video! We will visit next July Zaragoza, Burgos, and Asturias. In Asturias we plan to visit Oviedo, Cangas de Onís, Cabrales, and the village of Bulnes. We’ll love if you make a video about this village. Best regards.
Tio, excellent job! You both have inspired me to go back and visit my Country, do I still need to take out a Visa or ETIS even if I have my Spañish passport? I currently live in NY.
