Bit of culture at last! Nice to see you try something new. No I'm not a Phil or Janis but just can't be bothered watching endless videos of food we know. One thing I must say is do we need a score out of ten and a minute of seeing the food from different angles. Enjoy a city tour and seeing people like you try new flavours and new cultures but not sure I need 50 minutes of it
I hear what you are saying but I respectfully disagree. Part of immersing yourself into another countries culture is to embrace their food. Thats not to say you have to like it all but it gives a better understanding and a complete picture of where you are visiting. Spain is globally recognised as one of the premier gastronomic destinations with a raft of Michelin starred restaurants. It also educates and broadens your horizons. Yes you can look at scenery and architecture but that's only half the story. What about the people? How do they spend their free time, what is it about the culture of Spanish tapas that makes it so popular? You need to get out of tourist traps. Visit some of the larger cities, Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla, etc. Get off the beaten path and experience what these cities have to offer. You won't regret it.
Unfortunately it won’t get the views and it’s the views that pay. I enjoyed filming this video, but really it was to prove a point as I keep saying the large percentage of my viewers are not interested in that type of food. Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Benidorm Blackpool. Places that are affordable and are aimed at us Brits. I’ve eaten cockroaches on sticks, Snakes, Grubs, Crocodile, Chickens Feet Soup before I was a Vlogger and it doesn’t do much for me lol :0) Some you probably wouldn’t eat. :0) I say do whatever makes you happy. :0)
Hi Lee, just watched this vlog. Can I just say we totally appreciate your videos, you work so hard and I don’t think anyone appreciates you go away without your family to give us this content! Thank you. Respect to you! If I ever get to meet you in Spain/canaries I will buy you a beer!
Today the great Benny Hill would be of the air in one minute, and what about an other shows like Mind your language and so many others like Dave Allen show. I am so glad that I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. Life was great, I miss those times.
Funny was funny and everyone just laughed and was too busy to be offended. Since 2020 the world is a sensitive sphere of pathetic snowflakes taking control. The people who built our world didn't cry over a full stop in the wrong place. People in their 20's telling people in their 50's how to do things..... FFS.
Anyway Lee, ignore the haters, I binge watched Benidorm the tv series and anything in a sunny climate during the lockdown and I'm hoping you'll chase the sun as we go through Winter. Absolute tonic.
Well done Lee trying the local cuisine. The patatas bravas looked good and with the spicy sauce, ideal. I like dining local but don't do prawns . Im from the Midlands too lol. We like the goats cheese tapas . Some places in Spain have mini burgers for tapas, I don't get that. Anyway the tour of Málaga was fantastic, gracias amigo.
Thanks for the video and complementing Malaga. I have been visiting Malaga regularly over the past 50 years wonderful city. Shame that he didn't go into El Pimpi, which is almost next door to the restaurant featured. It is not only to my mind, the best restaurant in Malaga, it is one of the best in Europe, You need to walk through it it. is so different it is like walking along a street. You can sit down at a bar mid way and admire the pictures of the rich and famous that have gone before you. Brits are hesitant to go into El Pimpi as they fear that it will be too expensive. To my mind it is as 'cheap as chips' if there is a group of you. The service is the best that I have come across. You order and the food comes within minutes. Yes the food is Spanish, yes it is wonderful. Give it a go. You will be most impressed Some Spanish still love to smoke but they are becoming fewer and fewer. There is no smoking indoors in any restaurants or bars in Andalucia. Out doors is a different matter.
Appreciate you doing this video mate. I have to say, anyone who doesn't watch this video because they don't like tapas, or just fast forwarded it to the Tapas, are missing out. I liked the look of your tapas (much better than what you had in Benidorm). Credit to you for trying it and much credit to Sarah for giving you some pointers. Now, I'm a typical lairy northerner who can turn a business trip to China into a lads holiday, but I like to eat tapas when in Spain. And I'm not being a food snob, I like to eat fish n chips from Palms and had a Vindaloo at Delhi Delights in Las Americas, but I still feel its worth trying the native food when I'm visiting another country cos it's worth trying at least once.
Hi Lee 🖐 Thanks for the guided tour vlog around Malaga Glad I watched from start to finish. Really enjoyed your mooch around this city, from the views you captured it looks a very beautiful and worthwhile place to visit. Kudos to your opting for the tapas selection in spite of any hesitation you felt to opt for it. Tortilla
Hi Lee I worked on the Maiden voyage on the P&O ship called the Spirit of London which then transferred to Princess Cruises and was called the Pacific Princess. Which was the ship used in the show The Love Boat. Also Princess Cruises play the love boat theme on their horn when leaving port. Good looking Tapas and great Video Thanks Tony.
If you go to the menu part at 36:28 you can see you could have picked so much better for your taste buds mate!!! Chicken wings, meatballs, ham toast, chorizo...... loads of different stuff!! Why did you go with one you knew could be chewy, one you didn't like, and 2 big carbs to fill you up?!
Here is a common sense answer to your bathroom question about why the long line for women. If women want to take a wee, we have a few stalls only and have to get half undressed to do it. Men have the same amount of stalls plus usually the same amount of urinals so already double the facilities and you can just "whip it out" and go, not nearly so much of a production. You have a girlfriend so you should know we also have other female issues to deal with and probably 1/5 of the women at any given time are taking the extra time for feminine hygiene. I wish they would either double the facilities for women or make universal toilets...women hate having to wait in line especially when we are in urgent need. It's quite obvious that men design most toilet facilities.
Love Malaga, especially the Old Town and Port, so thanks for bringing back memories of a few days we spent there almost exactly at this time last year. The cafe opposite the Roman theatre at 35.25 was very much our local whilst we were there. As you saw, a beautifully clean city, and with so many places to eat you are spoilt for choice. Great video as always
Really enjoyed that. We are going to Malaga tomorrow night. Starting our tour of Spain by trains. Been to Malaga and Benelmadena love them. We have a laugh when you mention Phil and Janice. We will be trying some tapas over the next week or so. Ten days without A McMaster vlog what we going to do? keep up the good work and enjoy. Phil and Kay
I never skip a video I usually watch you while I’m cleaning or cooking/eating I love all all your videos it’s such a beautiful place and the view is so pretty and that cheesecake looked really yummy!!! All the food looked amazing!!!
Glad you tried the tapas Lee look Carlos and Maria from Madrid come to the UK and they will eat full English Fish and Chips etc because its our culture so its good for us to try there's the original tapas was created to act as a bottle top for wines etc in the 16th/17th century a small piece of bread with cheese or meat on top of it a tapa Great vlog enjoying this series 😊
Fantastic video, totally know what you mean about the food looking at ya. Most of all great to meet you today in Torremolinos. Love Ur work, Graham & Lizzy
Fabulous vlog as always and fabulous food 😋. Love Malaga, remember driving back from Gibraltar in the small hours and looking down over the marina, looked like Rio. El Cortes Inglais a great department store. ❤
Jeez mate, you need to learn how to peel prawns, if you are coming to Australia !!!!!, we were in Majorca a few years ago, I had the local sardines for lunch, my missus loathes seafood, so she built a barrier with the menu , so she didn’t have to see them !!!…..hola 😊
When you get to a certain age you are not bothered about what people say about your looks I have got a bit of weight on like most people of my age I would have being shamed in my 20s But now in my late 50s I am not bothered I laugh at people's comments where as 30 years ago I'd have been fuming all day , lol 🤣 🇬🇧
Hi Lee another great video. With regards to your prawn issue I will eat Prawns like that but the black bit in the back is in fact the poo sack which unless you can get rid of it also puts me off too.
Little guy on Fantasy island was Herve Villachaize, but Ricardo Montelban? (Mr Rourke, da plane da plane boss) I will always remember as the best bad guy from star trek
Looks great. Going to Torremolinos in March and planning to visit Malaga. Been to loads of tapas bars in Malaga but not this one. Will be going. I don't like calamari and can take or leave paella, but the rest looked good. I think when you get to a certain age you know what you like to eat because you've tried so much over the years. I like some Spanish food just as I like some British food. I hate other people judging my choices so do what you like. Enjoyed the video as I love Malaga. PS. I'm Scottish, but I hate black pudding, haggis and whisky.
Well done Boyzee you did the tapa fear!...So glad you enjoyed Malaga, I have been here 18 years and still love the culture etc. Great to see your vids as always!!
I thought they were tough in Mansfield grow a pair and eat the prawn lol That looked fantastic you'd pay much more than that in Mallorca it's a10 from me
im not a big fan of tapas but for 25 quid you got a lot of food there. it seemed a bit touristy though. i always find you get better value and better food by going in the back street places in malaga.
Well Lee. I am totally with you. I do like Tapas. I have eaten Tapas in Santander in Spain. Your Tapas looked alright, Your Prawn should have been De-Shelled and the Bits taken off. Your Potatoe dish looked Excellent. Your Calamari, should have been light to the bite, and the flesh should have been tender not like rubber. Your Spanish Omelette looked very Delicious. Ham Crocettes looked very Tasty. Not bad really with your Beautiful Large Goblet of Gorgeous Sanghria. Absolutely loved the bus Tour you went on. Excellent sight seeing of Malaga. Those Super Yaghts, were really Beautiful to admire. Gorgeous Classic cars at the Show. I did notice how Clean, Tidy, and not a speck of Litter anywhere. 50 Minutes of a Superb Movie Lee. You have put in the Hard work and very Professional video editing. Well Done for such Good Quality. I did really enjoy the Spanish Guitar musician. Your Movies just get Better and Better Lee. You have Got It my Friend. You are a Gentleman Lee. Thank you very much. ☺☺☺👍👍👍👍👍👍🌴🌴🌴🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
We have been to Santander a few times and know some bars where the tapas is free, served on the bar on big platters for you to help yourself. They do this in a few Spanish cities but you have to get away from the tourist traps such as Lee visited.
Lee, what have you ordered ? Didn’t look like any tapas that I’ve had. Some lovely tapas dishes are available but what you had I wouldn’t have chosen. The patatas bravas not like what I’ve ever had before same with the omelette.
"Maybe a joke, but I don't see why you have to call "Phil & Janice" food snobs. Just liking something that you don't, does not make people snobs. Think Cyprus may not be for you if all you want is fish & chips etc. Greek food is amazing but may not be what you are looking for. Lots of the men here also smoke. Very professional video as usual. x
Tapas is a very ambiguous word. It just means small plate. Below racione and platos. A small bowl of peanuts or olives can be tapas. There's nothing to be afraid of:-)
Well done Lee, we're proud of you !! Regarding heads on prawns, I don't think it's to do with freshness at all, even a manky old prawn can keep it's head on, I think it's just for presentation, for example you order a plate of prawns and it arrives with all those feelers sticking out all over the place it kinda looks like a lot, but you're going to be throwing most of what you're seeing away, if they presented it as what you can actually eat it wouldn't look like much at all. One thing though, that was a small prawn but even that size they should have taken the care to remove the alimentary canal and from what I could see they hadn't done that .. That's 10 points off for me because you can make yourself ill if they're not deveined properly, and the time to do that is before they're cooked.
Zenobia is a 40 million pounds yacht owned by an Arab sounding guy from London, If you had gone down there on Sunday you would have seen the Tatoosh, a 140 million yacht with its private helicopter on the stern, , We were in Malaga Sunday and Monday, great place, Sunday night there was a food market along that sea front, and packed with people, Monday we went up to the Aldabra palace, amazing
Hi Lee thank so much for everything you do now to put it in prospective without you what we all do you bring love and happiness hey vision you bring us sunshine when we have rain you bring us sunshine Through all lives grey and as for wish you was here guess what we are all there with you we all in a cost of living crisis but just for a moment we escape with a smile on our faces thank you again your so loved by all of friends subscribers thank you again we will all see you in the next one I can hear a song bring me sunshine when sky’s ar grey much love Derek and Janet 👍😎
I am Dutch living in Madrid for ages and watching you eating tapas. A tip: don't get tapas you don't like, I see you don't like the prawns and paella, so don't take them. There are so many tapas, you might have liked chorizo, or jamon for instance. There are also good type of cheeses to try, like the manchego. Enjoy.
I live not far inland from Malaga and I would say 8 out of ten except for the price, I would normally pay 10 to 12 Euros for that meal. You really must come inland to find good value. I'm there at the moment if you want to come inland for a meal !!!
Cheers for liking my boat that was moored up, I'm getting a new one in a year or three. Do you know now any good English Breakfast places as I travel the world by boat and helicopter... Brilliant vid Lee.
Hi Lee,if you’re around Malaga you really should try the fairly short train journey from the main renfe station to Alora,takes around 30 minutes and it’s a great traditional Spanish town with unbelievable shops that sell the most superb ham’s and everything else you like. Enjoy 😎👍
Fantastic video, thoroughly enjoyed it and felt as if I was there. Much better than a certain other TH-camr who spends a lot of time abroad. "Watch to the end"
Well I agree with you Lee….I like to go abroad to see new places, enjoy nice weather etc. andI like to try some local food, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating English food abroad. Your channel is not aimed at people looking for cultural experiences, it’s for British holiday makers enjoying the holiday hotspots. Those people saying you need eat the local food should maybe look at other TH-cam channels instead. I enjoy your down to earth, say it as it is attitude 😀👍👍
At last, you did an interesting thing!!! Out and about, looking at a bit of history. Those big yachts are what I worked on for 20 years in places like that around the world. The tapas wasn't great, calamari needs to be eaten straight from the fryer while hot, if you leave it to cool, rubber-city. Meh, I'd give it a 6.5.
This looks sort-of okay. That's a lot of carbohydrates, too. There are far better tapas places out there. Maybe you could try a menu del dia which is common to most Spanish restaurants and is very cheap. It's usually three courses, with wine, and I've always found excellent places all around Spain serving them. Don't forget, the tapas in Andalusia is different to the rest of Spain. You buy a drink and it will come with the drink in bars. It's larger and a better quality than in other parts of Spain but costs a bit more, which is put on the price of the drink. I really enjoyed the walkabout. Thank you, Lee.
Another great vid memories of Love Boat flooding back, as a 6ft3" chappy my vertically challanged friends say I'm a HighSupremasist. I'll get me coat !
Hey Lee, you always talk about people skipping through the video to the food, i'd rather watch all the geography and sights then skip the food! I'm doing Benidorm in October, plane into Alicante and no booked transport to Beni, C6 bus to town then sightsee in Alicante, might do the castle again, then bus or tram to Beni when i'm ready. Solo travel is so flexible 😁👍
I used to have an automatic winding watch which I wore on my left wrist (I’m right handed) only when watching Baywatch, I didn’t want to overwind it. 😳🤭 M/Y Tatoosh is owned by the co founder of Microsoft, Mr Paul Allen ( I think that’s his name). You may have to be careful not to offend people, but I lucky that I say what I want. Eleanor Roosevelt once said “No one can insult me without my permission” which is true when you think about it 🧐
We found Granier in benidorm fantastic coffee, sweet pastries and savoury items. Good spanish style breakfast. Not expensive at all . Ensaimada with cream(like custard) especially good. Tomato on toast too.❤
Lee, well done for taking part with the tapas but it was obvious that you were well outside of your comfort zone and sampled what you did due to many comments, but under duress.
there are three types of tapas Cocas de picar, or “things to nibble” are small finger foods like olives and nuts. ... Pinchos are dishes that require a utensil like a toothpick for a meatball or are served on a skewer. ... Cazuelas are “little dishes” or small portions of dishes that are served in a sauce. So in a nutshell anything in small portions 🤣
I'm not a big sea food eater Lee but I have tried Calamari,Shrimps & there small grilled fish with heads on and No not for me! Love other fish,crab & lobster but we all like what we like! Not all seafood is cooked or as fresh so just goes to show TripAdvisor ratings aren't solid guarantee! Malaga I visited late 80s and had a blast as I was alot younger lol but it looks stunning!! Great vlog my friend..Keep the gr8t content going👍
Hola Lee it's good you're in malaga a d away from the tourist zones there's so much to see and do in malaga and the old city is amazing enjoy ill get there in Nov.😂
Glad you enjoyed the magnificent Malaga full of history your experience of tapas was fun each to their own Lee I love it and have Spanish friends and have eaten at the Picasso and enjoyed it. The tour bus is good but you do need the headset. Malaga is my favorite city to visit and I hope you can see why.
Very nice scenery, food looked good, apart from the prawn. I remember the Love Boat but only remember Scott Baio in the crew, he went on to Diagnosis Murder but I remember Richardo Montalban and Herve Villechaise in Fantasy Island. There were a lot of American series on tv in the 60s and 70s.
A real shame about the prawn. For seafood lovers, the best part is sucking the juices out of the head. Glad you enjoyed your visit and great to see the sights of Malaga from your bus tour. Look forward to your next broadcast.
Absolutely beautiful scenery Lee. I notice that open top bus was nothing like the ride Stan Butler took his passengers on 😂😂😂😂 (Holiday on the buses) I was waiting for you and the passenger's getting whacked by the trees 🤣🤣🤣. Food looked nice, 9/10 for me.
I go to Greece a lot and I always eat Greek food never eat British food what’s the point going abroad and just living of fry ups and fish and chips may aswell go to Blackpool for a week the food looks lovely tbh widen your options instead of just fry ups and fish and a chips
I travel a lot and I eat what I like on holiday I like English style dishes I like Spanish Greek Italian Indian Chinese et Al and I go for what I fancy at the time there’s no I’m in Spain I must have a Spanish breakfast I like what I like thank you I hate churros utter rubbish I’ve been given them for free in Spain and they went in the bin doesn’t mean I diss people who like them, similarly I had a conversation with a Spanish man he said you come here and don’t speak Spanish in a depreciating manner so I said look if I had to learn the language of everywhere I go on holiday buddy I’d speak German Italian Greek Spanish French Icelandic Croatian Bulgarian Turkish Arabic but you know what I don’t have to because everywhere I go they speak better English than me because it’s an international language
@@philnotley5138 if that’s what you like doing fair enough I just like eating diffrent food when I go abroad but I love Greek food love Spanish food too I can speak Greek Spanish even welsh lol 😂
Malaga is a beautiful city and there’s so much more to see . Always visit when we stay in Los Boliches (Scotsman visited) . Got to say you look so much healthier and happier then when you visited NYC so I’m pleased your health is beta 😊😊😊😊
Doff my hat to you Lee, you tried it, good man. Croquettas are always a superb choice. All The dishes looked excellent. Prawns, pull the black vein, take off the shell, peel and eat, simples. Again, try the Pil Pil, no heads. Fish, seafood of any variety is always a good choice. Enjoy the remainder of your journey, looking forward to seeing the next leg. Enjoy.
Bit of culture at last! Nice to see you try something new. No I'm not a Phil or Janis but just can't be bothered watching endless videos of food we know.
One thing I must say is do we need a score out of ten and a minute of seeing the food from different angles. Enjoy a city tour and seeing people like you try new flavours and new cultures but not sure I need 50 minutes of it

10 / 10 for the city tour. 9 / 10 fot the Tapas. 5 / 10 for the live music. I certainly enjoyed seeing all of the views of the city of Malaga.
A fantastic vlog really interesting I did laugh at the Tapas bit you really looked out of your comfort zone
So much better having the tourist tour rather than just a food review, both are great, but together even better
@The MacMaster...you should go to Nerja...about 80KM north of Malaga...at the coast.....most beautiful village in Spain !
Very nice place nerja, granted was about 10 years ago
That looks like proper Tapas to me!
Phil and Janice would be proud of you!😂
Go to Mijas before you leave, the most beautiful little Church in Spain. A beautiful little mountain town near Fuengirola.
Love this, watched it all, we are off to Malaga in October so this is great for us, love your relaxed honest style.
Today the great Benny Hill would be of the air in one minute, and what about an other shows like Mind your language and so many others like Dave Allen show. I am so glad that I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. Life was great, I miss those times.

great vlog. Try Chicken and Chorizo paella instead of the usual fish. I reckon you'd love that then
Nice to see you eat something decent after that stew with a lid the other day.
😮 Geoff is in Thailand on his own, I hope you go over and join him for some Thai food and temples 😊❤🎉

Glad I watched from start to finish.
Really enjoyed your mooch around this city, from the views you captured it looks a very beautiful and worthwhile place to visit.
Kudos to your opting for the tapas selection in spite of any hesitation you felt to opt for it.
Tortilla
- wedge, Potato Bravas and Croquettes all looked good. I'm with you in regards to the prawns, I would have asked chef to behead prawns 🦐 🦐

Maybe you should peel the prawn....like all other people do !!!...just saying "Phill" 😂🤔
I just couldn’t eat that Lee. Good on you for trying it! Not a fish person at all. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Thanks June. xx
Fabulous vlog as always and fabulous food 😋. Love Malaga, remember driving back from Gibraltar in the small hours and looking down over the marina, looked like Rio. El Cortes Inglais a great department store. ❤
At last lee some local grub! By the way that cheese cake looked yummy.
Jeez mate, you need to learn how to peel prawns, if you are coming to Australia !!!!!, we were in Majorca a few years ago, I had the local sardines for lunch, my missus loathes seafood, so she built a barrier with the menu , so she didn’t have to see them !!!…..hola 😊
Lovely Mac. Glad you're having a nice time out there
When you get to a certain age you are not bothered about what people say about your looks
I have got a bit of weight on like most people of my age
I would have being shamed in my 20s
But now in my late 50s
I am not bothered I laugh at people's comments
where as 30 years ago I'd have been fuming all day , lol 🤣 🇬🇧
Hi Lee another great video. With regards to your prawn issue I will eat Prawns like that but the black bit in the back is in fact the poo sack which unless you can get rid of it also puts me off too.

I'm Scottish, but I hate black pudding, haggis and whisky.
Well done Boyzee you did the tapa fear!...So glad you enjoyed Malaga, I have been here 18 years and still love the culture etc. Great to see your vids as always!!
Yes i agree just turned 55 today and I’m glad I grew up in the 70s-80s
🎉 local food and local tourism attraction open top bus - you definitely pleasing the posh people.
Hiya. Don't normally comment, but I have to say I love your videos and presenting style. Well done and looking forward to the next one.
Thank You
I thought they were tough in Mansfield grow a pair and eat the prawn lol
That looked fantastic you'd pay much more than that in Mallorca it's a10
from me
im not a big fan of tapas but for 25 quid you got a lot of food there. it seemed a bit touristy though. i always find you get better value and better food by going in the back street places in malaga.
Hello Lee great video again my friend ❤
Tapas looked lovely jubbley
Malaga is such a beautiful city, come back in December and see the Christmas lights!
Great video btw. I used to live there and it's beautiful.
Well Lee. I am totally with you. I do like Tapas. I have eaten Tapas in Santander in Spain. Your Tapas looked alright, Your Prawn should have been De-Shelled and the Bits taken off. Your Potatoe dish looked Excellent. Your Calamari, should have been light to the bite, and the flesh should have been tender not like rubber. Your Spanish Omelette looked very Delicious. Ham Crocettes looked very Tasty. Not bad really with your Beautiful Large Goblet of Gorgeous Sanghria. Absolutely loved the bus Tour you went on. Excellent sight seeing of Malaga. Those Super Yaghts, were really Beautiful to admire. Gorgeous Classic cars at the Show. I did notice how Clean, Tidy, and not a speck of Litter anywhere. 50 Minutes of a Superb Movie Lee. You have put in the Hard work and very Professional video editing. Well Done for such Good Quality. I did really enjoy the Spanish Guitar musician. Your Movies just get Better and Better Lee. You have Got It my Friend. You are a Gentleman Lee. Thank you very much. ☺☺☺👍👍👍👍👍👍🌴🌴🌴🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
We have been to Santander a few times and know some bars where the tapas is free, served on the bar on big platters for you to help yourself. They do this in a few Spanish cities but you have to get away from the tourist traps such as Lee visited.
Get on the next plane to Thailand and meet Geoff carter it will be a right laugh 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just watched Geoff's video, will be watching the follow up ones in Pattaya too.
Lee, what have you ordered ? Didn’t look like any tapas that I’ve had. Some lovely tapas dishes are available but what you had I wouldn’t have chosen. The patatas bravas not like what I’ve ever had before same with the omelette.
"Maybe a joke, but I don't see why you have to call "Phil & Janice" food snobs. Just liking something that you don't, does not make people snobs. Think Cyprus may not be for you if all you want is fish & chips etc. Greek food is amazing but may not be what you are looking for. Lots of the men here also smoke. Very professional video as usual. x
enjoyed that Lee didn't FF any of it 😂😂😂❤
Ye it's marmite isn't it .... either love or hate it ......great vlogs macmaster 🍺🍻🍺🍻
Tapas is a very ambiguous word. It just means small plate. Below racione and platos. A small bowl of peanuts or olives can be tapas. There's nothing to be afraid of:-)
Well done Lee, we're proud of you !! Regarding heads on prawns, I don't think it's to do with freshness at all, even a manky old prawn can keep it's head on, I think it's just for presentation, for example you order a plate of prawns and it arrives with all those feelers sticking out all over the place it kinda looks like a lot, but you're going to be throwing most of what you're seeing away, if they presented it as what you can actually eat it wouldn't look like much at all. One thing though, that was a small prawn but even that size they should have taken the care to remove the alimentary canal and from what I could see they hadn't done that .. That's 10 points off for me because you can make yourself ill if they're not deveined properly, and the time to do that is before they're cooked.
Large prawns are served with the heads on so that you can suck the juices out of the head. Not for everyone, but the tastiest part.
Zenobia is a 40 million pounds yacht owned by an Arab sounding guy from London,
If you had gone down there on Sunday you would have seen the Tatoosh, a 140 million yacht with its private helicopter on the stern, ,
We were in Malaga Sunday and Monday, great place, Sunday night there was a food market along that sea front, and packed with people, Monday we went up to the Aldabra palace, amazing
I do like paella with seafood, chorizo and chicken
Tapas looks particularly good, and great value for that price. I agree with you on the prawns too!
Hun have a safe flight back home . I have so enjoyed this trip with you around Spain xxx
Not trying the local food when on holiday is the equivalent of walking round with your eyes shut while there.
Lee go back on your video and look at the sign behind you when you were talking about the love boat pmsl
Phil and Janice would be very happy with that.
Hi Lee thank so much for everything you do now to put it in prospective without you what we all do you bring love and happiness hey vision you bring us sunshine when we have rain you bring us sunshine
Through all lives grey and as for wish you was here guess what we are all there with you we all in a cost of living crisis but just for a moment we escape with a smile on our faces thank you again your so loved by all of friends subscribers thank you again we will all see you in the next one I can hear a song bring me sunshine when sky’s ar grey much love Derek and Janet 👍😎
Thank You x
I am Dutch living in Madrid for ages and watching you eating tapas. A tip: don't get tapas you don't like, I see you don't like the prawns and paella, so don't take them. There are so many tapas, you might have liked chorizo, or jamon for instance. There are also good type of cheeses to try, like the manchego. Enjoy.
I live not far inland from Malaga and I would say 8 out of ten except for the price, I would normally pay 10 to 12 Euros for that meal. You really must come inland to find good value. I'm there at the moment if you want to come inland for a meal !!!
Cheers for liking my boat that was moored up, I'm getting a new one in a year or three. Do you know now any good English Breakfast places as I travel the world by boat and helicopter...
Brilliant vid Lee.
Hi Lee,if you’re around Malaga you really should try the fairly short train journey from the main renfe station to Alora,takes around 30 minutes and it’s a great traditional Spanish town with unbelievable shops that sell the most superb ham’s and everything else you like. Enjoy 😎👍
Yes, Alora is a good destination, cheaper food and a fab Castle with views to die for..👌
Fantastic video, thoroughly enjoyed it and felt as if I was there. Much better than a certain other TH-camr who spends a lot of time abroad. "Watch to the end"
Thanks lee great video looks a lovely place but how much for leftover wedding buffet food lol
Well I agree with you Lee….I like to go abroad to see new places, enjoy nice weather etc. andI like to try some local food, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating English food abroad. Your channel is not aimed at people looking for cultural experiences, it’s for British holiday makers enjoying the holiday hotspots. Those people saying you need eat the local food should maybe look at other TH-cam channels instead. I enjoy your down to earth, say it as it is attitude 😀👍👍
Lee your scared of prawns 😅😅😅😅😅😅 that was dear lee , 12 euro in old town benidorm and loads.😮
At last, you did an interesting thing!!! Out and about, looking at a bit of history. Those big yachts are what I worked on for 20 years in places like that around the world. The tapas wasn't great, calamari needs to be eaten straight from the fryer while hot, if you leave it to cool, rubber-city. Meh, I'd give it a 6.5.
Ricardo Montalban excellent in Fantasy Island but totally awesome in Star Trek 2 ! Great video ! 👍
This looks sort-of okay. That's a lot of carbohydrates, too. There are far better tapas places out there. Maybe you could try a menu del dia which is common to most Spanish restaurants and is very cheap. It's usually three courses, with wine, and I've always found excellent places all around Spain serving them. Don't forget, the tapas in Andalusia is different to the rest of Spain. You buy a drink and it will come with the drink in bars. It's larger and a better quality than in other parts of Spain but costs a bit more, which is put on the price of the drink. I really enjoyed the walkabout. Thank you, Lee.
Another great vid memories of Love Boat flooding back, as a 6ft3" chappy my vertically challanged friends say I'm a HighSupremasist. I'll get me coat !
Hey Lee, you always talk about people skipping through the video to the food, i'd rather watch all the geography and sights then skip the food! I'm doing Benidorm in October, plane into Alicante and no booked transport to Beni, C6 bus to town then sightsee in Alicante, might do the castle again, then bus or tram to Beni when i'm ready. Solo travel is so flexible 😁👍
I used to have an automatic winding watch which I wore on my left wrist (I’m right handed) only when watching Baywatch, I didn’t want to overwind it. 😳🤭
M/Y Tatoosh is owned by the co founder of Microsoft, Mr Paul Allen ( I think that’s his name).
You may have to be careful not to offend people, but I lucky that I say what I want. Eleanor Roosevelt once said “No one can insult me without my permission” which is true when you think about it 🧐
Lee, another good video. If that little prawn scared you off, I would love to see your face if you are presented with a whole crab and lobster.
We found Granier in benidorm fantastic coffee, sweet pastries and savoury items. Good spanish style breakfast.
Not expensive at all .
Ensaimada with cream(like custard) especially good. Tomato on toast too.❤
Exactly how a nice tapas should be
Lee, well done for taking part with the tapas but it was obvious that you were well outside of your comfort zone and sampled what you did due to many comments, but under duress.
there are three types of tapas
Cocas de picar, or “things to nibble” are small finger foods like olives and nuts. ...
Pinchos are dishes that require a utensil like a toothpick for a meatball or are served on a skewer. ...
Cazuelas are “little dishes” or small portions of dishes that are served in a sauce. So in a nutshell anything in small portions 🤣
50 mins! What a treat. I look forward to these videos every night now! Takes me away for a while 🌴🌊
Loved this video. Great scenery, architecture and what looked like delicious Tapas. Well done.
I'm not a big sea food eater Lee but I have tried Calamari,Shrimps & there small grilled fish with heads on and No not for me! Love other fish,crab & lobster but we all like what we like! Not all seafood is cooked or as fresh so just goes to show TripAdvisor ratings aren't solid guarantee! Malaga I visited late 80s and had a blast as I was alot younger lol but it looks stunning!! Great vlog my friend..Keep the gr8t content going👍
Hola Lee it's good you're in malaga a d away from the tourist zones there's so much to see and do in malaga and the old city is amazing enjoy ill get there in Nov.😂
Glad you enjoyed the magnificent Malaga full of history your experience of tapas was fun each to their own Lee I love it and have Spanish friends and have eaten at the Picasso and enjoyed it. The tour bus is good but you do need the headset. Malaga is my favorite city to visit and I hope you can see why.
Very nice scenery, food looked good, apart from the prawn. I remember the Love Boat but only remember Scott Baio in the crew, he went on to Diagnosis Murder but I remember Richardo Montalban and Herve Villechaise in Fantasy Island. There were a lot of American series on tv in the 60s and 70s.
Just noticed this is in 4K, makes such a difference to the quality of the visuals. The rest of the video is as awesome as ever!
A real shame about the prawn. For seafood lovers, the best part is sucking the juices out of the head. Glad you enjoyed your visit and great to see the sights of Malaga from your bus tour. Look forward to your next broadcast.
Great choices, Sarah, in my opinion, well done!! 👍👍 Sorry Lee 🤣
Amazing these cities are only 2.5 hours away from the UK ! Beautiful city Málaga - thanks for the tour!
Absolutely beautiful scenery Lee.
I notice that open top bus was nothing like the ride Stan Butler took his passengers on 😂😂😂😂 (Holiday on the buses) I was waiting for you and the passenger's getting whacked by the trees 🤣🤣🤣.
Food looked nice, 9/10 for me.
I go to Greece a lot and I always eat Greek food never eat British food what’s the point going abroad and just living of fry ups and fish and chips may aswell go to Blackpool for a week the food looks lovely tbh widen your options instead of just fry ups and fish and a chips
Me too, love Greek grub xx
Just tackle that prawn LEE.BIG UP MAN
I travel a lot and I eat what I like on holiday I like English style dishes I like Spanish Greek Italian Indian Chinese et Al and I go for what I fancy at the time there’s no I’m in Spain I must have a Spanish breakfast I like what I like thank you I hate churros utter rubbish I’ve been given them for free in Spain and they went in the bin doesn’t mean I diss people who like them, similarly I had a conversation with a Spanish man he said you come here and don’t speak Spanish in a depreciating manner so I said look if I had to learn the language of everywhere I go on holiday buddy I’d speak German Italian Greek Spanish French Icelandic Croatian Bulgarian Turkish Arabic but you know what I don’t have to because everywhere I go they speak better English than me because it’s an international language
@@philnotley5138 if that’s what you like doing fair enough I just like eating diffrent food when I go abroad but I love Greek food love Spanish food too I can speak Greek Spanish even welsh lol 😂
Shut up
Malaga is a beautiful city and there’s so much more to see . Always visit when we stay in Los Boliches (Scotsman visited) .
Got to say you look so much healthier and happier then when you visited NYC so I’m pleased your health is beta 😊😊😊😊
Doff my hat to you Lee, you tried it, good man. Croquettas are always a superb choice. All The dishes looked excellent. Prawns, pull the black vein, take off the shell, peel and eat, simples. Again, try the Pil Pil, no heads. Fish, seafood of any variety is always a good choice. Enjoy the remainder of your journey, looking forward to seeing the next leg. Enjoy.
Hi lee i think i said befor you cant mark Tapas out of 10 because its different every where you go in spain .
i love the sight seeing keep it up
