      I fully agree because these guys do their videos so well and they’re so genuine and authentic. You’re absolutely right. The TH-cam algorithm is recommending and suggesting all of their videos and To get 3000 views in one week for any TH-cam video especially a channel that is as young as this is a monumental achievement.

    Honestly living in the North is Great too. Galicia is beautiful and has special traditions, today is San Xoàn and in Galicia we celebrate with grilled sardines (sardiñada), meat and hogueras on beaches (bonfires). This festival is similar in all of Spain but Galicia is truly magical during San Xoan, 100%. It is getting very crowded in some parts, more foreigners moving lately. If you like folklore, greenery, 🌧️, meigas (witches) and celtic music, Galicia is for you. I thought Galicia was known as "Galifornia" too like Cadiz haha. Cadiz is ☀️ all year round tho
    .There is a place called San Andres Do Texido, it's wow. I like La Rioja too, San Bernabe is a wonderful festival...not the ole ole but still lovely.

      We have heard so much about Galicia and its natural beauty….. definitely on our plans in the future as slowly we want to capture the whole of Spain and Portugal because we think that the Iberian Peninsula has something very special that no place on earth matches.
      We are actually on our way back to Marbella after recording San Juan in Malaga….. honestly speaking it was magical moment specially when at midnight people jumped in the sea while fireworks go off in the background(Video out next Sunday).
      We have noted things you have mentioned and will definitely help a lot for Galicia videos.
      Thank you so much ☺️

      @@randalkarotkin6556 @thepakspan No problem! You must visit! There's a wonderful community of expats here. I've met many close friends thanks to the auxiliares de conversación program actually.
      Every year thousands of young people in particular from the US, Canada, UK, Australia, India, the Philippines plus other countries come to teach English for a year or be "auxiliares de conversaciónes de inglés" or English Conversation Assistants through the NALCAP program (for the US) or through the British Council or others. Not just young people but all ages really. Maybe for Americans or other expats looking to make a permanent move in the future the programme could be a good move to try to live in Spain for a year or two before finally committing. I've seen loads of expats near retirement do that, an interesting way plus you can choose anywhere in Spain. Viewers interested should definitely look up "NALCAP" and "auxiliares de conversación de inglés".

    It is bad advice to say that you can live in Spain without speaking Spanish. If you are a young person or adult of working age, if you do not speak Spanish, your life in Spain will be complicated. Eternal tourist in an isolated bubble.

      Spot on! We highly recommend to learn the local language wherever you are in the world…. Not only good for integration but also studies have shown to have a positive impact on your health and intelligence.
