I film my videos on #lumix and GoPro cameras and lenses and sometimes on an iPhone.
Crowded beaches and beer is what I avoid in Spain. I love the "vast" interior (in the European scale of distances) and the northern side. I think Spain is ranked the 5th country in the world by UNESCO' Worlds Heritage Sites (Italy is first with 59 and Spain has 50 as Stuart said). On top of that I would add a good diversity of other things as local languages, climates, natural parks, landscapes, traditions, gastronomy, etc. I would like Spain to rank higher in education, innovation, technology, salaries, labour market, business friendliness (less red tape), but...
It's much better away from the tourist areas xx
… but it is Spain!
Higher salaries create higher inflation & higher prices for all .
I am with José Antonio, Gibraltar airport was built in an area that was not in the Treaty; it was lent to accommodate ill people during an outbreak in Gibraltar: in 1815, Gibraltar suffered a yellow fever epidemic. This led to a Spanish concession so a temporary quarantine health camp could be built on the isthmus (where the airport is today), but it was never given back to Spain. Also, the Treaty does not recognise sovereign waters around Gibraltar. Nevertheless, other big problem is that today Brexit makes things more complicated regarding border controls. Many Spaniards work in Gibraltar and it is an issue for both sides.
I'll say this about the battle of the generations: I am happy I'm closer to the end of my work career than the beginning.
I spent a total of 7 years in Spain and only about 3 days on a beach. Lots of beautiful sites to see such as villages, castles, monasteries, museums and natural places with waterfalls etc. I also did the Camino de Santiago. Still after all that time visiting there are many more places on my bucket list.
The response to mr/ms single was priceless😂
España no necesita bebedores de cerveza, peleas e ignorantes de lo que es España. Estarán mejor en su país. Saludos.😊
🤣😂🤣😂
Me encanta una cana de vez en cuando pero prefiero un Red Vermouth con naranja. Salud!
I enjoy living here and I dont give a damn about politics or what is going on.. my spanish people are lovely and friendly and thats all I bother. About. Xx
Your response to Single698 was spot on (and hilarious)! Spain has so much to see. There's truly something for everyone.
Jam on top in Devon & Cream on top in Cornwall!!........
Haha Madri 🤣 I was stood at a bar ordering a few pints, speaking with mates I asked where it was from, some smug tw$t leant over saying the clues in the name, week later I'm delivering to a brewery in the Midlands and hay presto, we all know what they were brewing, can't wait to see that smug numpty 🫣
Two favourite Spanish beers are Alhambra (6.4% alcohol) and Cruzcampo (4.4% alcohol). Salud buena sulud Stu
Sisters are doing it for themselves!
jajajaja
Love min 12:30 & beyond... Thank you Stuart 😎😍💋
The last comment on yesterday's video. You made me laugh with your dry humour. Good on you to put that comment in it's place 😂
Love your beeping,when you're letting someone know the truth! Stay strong 👍
I have some friends from San Roque who learned English with the help of Gibraltar TV, chiefly from a cooking show called "Pepe's Pot." Sometimes that show mixed up Spanish and English even in the same sentence. Spanish with the strong llanito accent and perfect British English. The children lost respect for English watching that TV program. There are still some videos on TH-cam. Look up "Pepe's Pot with Vanessa" if you want to laugh a little and learn a new recipe
I think Stu should go to Magaluf and tell us what it’s really like instead of hearsay.
In reference to the alcohol conversation, in our county in Florida USA, we can’t buy wine/alcohol on Sundays till after 14:00 (2:00pm). Had to stand in the aisle for 10 mins like a dweeb till the clock hit 2:00. That’ll teach me to be unprepared!!🤣🤣
Yes I found Florida very puritan and outdated towards alcohol.
In NY, in the stores it's 12 pm(I think it still is)...I cannot tell you the amount of times standing with beer in hand at 11:55. jajajaja
Nuns in Spain leaving the Vatican whats next, Pedro Sanchez moving to the PP.
Mil gracias por el video Stuart la alma de Madrid expensive too I don't drink it amigo. Off to Parma North Italy later .normally a real ale for me Bewdley brewery bar 3.50 a pint. Wetherspoons 2.68 a pint
Fantastic episode! Andalusian cup this weekend in Granada, come and turn your arm over 😃 few of my Aussie and Kiwi friends here playing too, i love their competiveness 😁🤣
Hola Stu, greetings from Germany - so please forgive me my bias towards beer ;)
Favourite beers in/from Germany are Augustiner (from Munich) and of course the Franconian lagers around Bamberg like Huppendorfer and Mönchsambacher.
Whenever I'm in Barcelona you can't go wrong with a fine cold Moritz.
I know and like Augustiner and Moritz but don't even try to pronounce the others. An uncle of mine spent half his life in Germany, so he was all about German beer over the Spanish one. Same goes for me eventhough I've never been to Germany. Once my uncle told the joke that Spanish beer is like having sex on boat, and he used to say that the beer belly you get from German brews is a happier one, cause when a German laughs, his belly jiggles along like it's laughing too. At least his did.
@@joseantoniodavila2752
I thought the saying about making love on boat and beer applies only to American beers 😁
And I think the Spanish beers have improved over the years. The bigger ones (Estrella Damm/Galicia or San Miguel) oftentimes can be found in German supermarkets. The first ones are quite decent, I would prefer them over most of the major breweries here. But if you ever come to Germany go to Bamberg and search for those beers from above. People will know 😉
A lot of locations in USA no alcohol sales on Sunday.
Sailing to Galicia this summer from Cornwall for 6 weeks cruising the Ria's Altas and Baja's,cam't wait to get away from over priced,over regulated,over populated hellhole island,hopefully for some good fishing,local cusine and not a British tourist in sight.Stopped in Santander,Ribedeo,Sada and Baiona previously where even during the Spanish vacation season prices are reasonable,plenty of un-crowded anchorages and beautiful scenery abundant .we watch Galicia TV on youtube for local news , weather and Spanish dialect and ,your excellent channel since 2019,Keep up the Good work,Sailing Catamaran "Far Atoll"
Well said Stuart xx
Strike of genius in advertising... Madrid OLE 😍😅
Hi Stu
I first had the beer Madri at a hotel at Gatwick Airport, I thought it was Spanish until i was talking to my Spanish teacher the following week about beer and she hadn’t heard of it.
So i checked it out and saw it was brewed in the UK.
My local pub in the UK have Cruz Campo but not found my favourite Mahou in the UK yet.
Luckily my fridge in Murcia is full of it 😂
I recall a heavily promoted red wine in the 70s or 80s called 'Le Piat D'Or' and the TV advert was 'The French adore Le Piat D'Or'. The French had never heard of it and it was blended wine invented by the British company purely for the UK market.
Nut oil is less than €3 euro in Consum and ideal for cooking with.
Thank you, Stu. 😊
Hi Stu, love the broadcasts, all the way from Bris. I always watch your vlogs. I find them spot on and informative. I do comment now because I wish to applaud your eloquent way of dealing with idiot comments. As a sociologist I love the different aspects and nuances a country can provide. However, I have removed myself from most stream media these days as you can’t make an educated comment without being attacked by a feral freak with a keyboard. Keep it up. Love the show. See you when I retire. Or maybe before.
Logic tells you to put the jam on the scone first and then the cream, but like you said, Stuart each to their own. It's funny how some items in the supermarket have gone down in price. I'm not surprised really it's probably because they are not selling along with the fact that the majority you mentioned are all unhealthy. I certainly would not touch any of those oils with a barge pole. Thanks for the update.
I generally drink ales & red wine. Not too bothered about lager beers. However I did try Victoria Malaga beer. That is really good. Did sample Madri, it didn't float my boat. Estrella Damm/Inedit/lemon are good.
All the companies brew in the UK to save costs on import. It’s Been going on for years. Your Fosters lager is owned by the Japanese & brewed in the UK by Heineken lol😂❤😅
Same in Spain. Some close friends of mine work for that witch brewing industry, one of them my brother. The Mexican Coronita is brewed in Azuqueca de Henares, Heineken is not far North and Guiness bought Cruzcampo in the 90's and paid an insane amount of money. 100.000 millones de pesetas. I can translate it to English but not to euros. Probably Cruzcampo is not longer owned by Guiness but by a Chinese company, who know sand who cares.
It used to have in small letters 'Brewed under Licence' and that was the giveaway.
Madrid appeared here in ireland about a year ago.. I've had it but always revert to San Miguel when I can get it..
Travel expert has warned that Spain's tourism industry could suffer because of massive rises in the cost of flights from other EU countries and the UK.
Speaking about the reported 42 percent rise in the cost of flights to Spain, Roma Andreu explained why airlines were raising their prices and the impact this would have.
He said that the price rises from budget airlines would "depend on supply and demand". He added that several factors such as the price of fuel and higher operating costs were forcing airlines to increase prices.
At the same time new laws in Spain over travel could kill Spain’s holiday trade.
Thanks!
The best beer in Spain (imo) is Victoria - a Malaga beer. It's refreshing, it's tasty, and if the picture of a very hot bloke on the label doesn't make you want to drink it, then nothing will.
A lot of the dry counties in the U.S are located in Bible Belt areas.
Famous weird booze story in the USA for me is Jack Daniels whisky which is produced in a dry county - that make but they can't sell It there.
@@Helen14R right! boggles the mind. lol!
Victoria Malaga is a beautiful Spanish beer you must try it !
For the past 12 months I have been drinking the Spanish Beers, here in the UK. Favourites 1, Cruzcampo, 2 Galicia Estrella, 3 Galicia Damm, 4 Malaga Victoria, Mahou not generally available. Madri is piddle. Previous sessions, Moretti, Peroni. Once upon a time used to drink the Amber Nectar, Castlemaine XXX not Fosters. Barry Makenzie lived in Earls Court.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
How will sharing the Gibraltar airport work if some nationalities dont need a visa to enter Spain (Schengen area) but need a visa to enter Gibraltar (UK)?
How is the ecommerce industry for used goods in Spain? That is my occupation and I'm thinking about moving there from the US
WOW Stuart, I'll hold your coat mate 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Stu Alhambra 1925 for me😂
A Milno in Granada, a Green in Ciudad Real. My choice too after Voll-Damn double double.
Regarding scones - I've tried jame first and cream first. It really depends on the viscosity of the cream. The thicker substance should go on first. Regarding Madri, I think most people know it's not a legit Spanish beer, but a "Spanish style" beer.
Hello
Would you know anything about squatters and best way to remove them?
Ramon
There are a couple of businesses delivering scones to your door...i havent bought them but they look delicious
Nice
Hi Stu, Feliz San Isidro! It´s funny you should have a story on Madri; last night I went to a trivia night here in Madrid and that was the beer of choice on tap. I must say I could only have one as I found it rather bland and well not tasty.
P.S right on!!! regarding that ignorant comment about only beaches and beer. The exact tourist we do not need...bye!
Do what you like. Xx
Make your own xx
The Duke of Devonshire owns a castle near where we live and, you might be surprised to hear, has a Devonshire Tea Party every year. At around€65 a head I won't be going but,,,,
Jam first Stu, all the time. 😋
Bureaucracy? Portugal says 'Ten minha cerveja!'
El Problema de gastar mucho es que hay muchas tiendas de Chinos, Mucho, malo y barato jajajA.😂
En cuanto al cuidado y alimentación de los animales, es que se quieren cuidar como bebes humanos. Y no como en la naturaleza, con hambre, frío, peleas por las hembras, territorio, comida, enfermos sin veterinario ni vacunas, y con riesgo de ser herido o muerto o comido por otro de su especie o no. Eso sí los bebes humanos Dan mucho trabajo y cuestan dinero.😅😊
San Miguel especial is my favourite beer 🍺
LIDL has a fairly decent 'own brand' version called San Martinez, with very similar packaging.
Cornish cream tea is famous in the UK - not sure about Devon but Devonshire cream is certainly famous.
I never heard of that & I lived in the UK 46 years. PG tipps & Tetley & Yorkshire & Brook Bond & Early grey is the main popular teas in the UK.
@@michaeljones3774 yes, but it doesn’t mean “drinking tea” it means “afternoon tea” which involves sandwiches, cakes and scones. Try googling “cream tea” and learn all about the exciting debate as to which goes on the scone first - the cream or the jam?
@@michaeljones3774 You've lived in the UK for 46 years and you don't know what a Cornish cream tea is?? Wow.
@@chrissmurray255 I'm very cosmopolitan myself as I'm rather partial to Welsh and Eccles cakes 😋
@@frankreynolds4547 Eccles was a baker? Spike Milligan sure kept that a secret for a long time!
_I've been waiting ages for the context in which to tell that joke...thank you._

Great stuff, tell her where to go😆. People like that have no place opening their mouths really, as all that comes out is bile. Its my belief that she has not visited Spain, or if so maybe just Benidorm.
I've never heard of Madri beer, maybe I am going to the wrong shops and pubs, or maybe the right shops and pubs.
Nice drink but not cheap. I also did think it was Spanish with its label of Madri.
@@phil.f.9930 I'm Spanish and I was the first one to be fooled by that branding LOL Honestly, it is too specific: calling Madrid "Madrí", which is a very local thing to do, plus the "chulapo" man, which is also a very local thing... Even the lid has the "chulapo" hat & vest print on it.
Its cooler. Had gales all day and 22 degrees xx
Olive oil is expensive. Dont like pizzas xx
flogging off toxic foods as many people are much wiser..not buying..so cheaper..😉
Oh please......don't engage with any Boomer with the "Which generation had it easier?" argument. I would rather listen to an industrial jack hammer all day than listen to any Boomer on this topic. On another note, did you call old mate that said Spain has nothing to offer offer than beaches and beer a Wuckfit?
Love your final comments - must be directed at yet another exceptional Pomme.

Hi Janet POM. POM, POMME doesn't really matter. Do you know what the letters stand for? I do. POMME - Pomee depends how you say it. ( AS POMME B)
