😠Look. This whole video is just to attach a link to the purchase of properties. Do you understand that the Spanish people in this area are asking their governments to legislate this kind of "false tourism" that acts more like an invader? Why does a "tourist" need to buy a property in Spain? We Spaniards need a law to prevent this, because one of the consequences of this is the use of our public systems without you paying taxes.😠 Why is it that if I go to a store in a tourist area in my country, it turns out that the clerk and the owner are German or English and they don't speak Spanish? WHY?!!!! It's my country, not yours.
Estos son el tipo de personas que bajo la pretendida apariencia de dar a descubrir la vida en España y de buen rollo llevan tiempo mercantilizando vivir en España. Eso si, al mejor coste claro... Me pregunto en que momento sacarán tajada.
Now i have seen what you publicise ; spain property buiying and renting just promoting the upscale of housing prices and the anihilation of whats left of this country and destroying the few opportunities of young people in this country to live in a decent way, shame on you.
Hello!I like your videos!😊I want to live in Spain...in the ciity" La Coruna"...mabye in the "rich"normal house for strangers(buut only for me for now),which i have readed on internet,that is cheap prices for all houses who can be buy from strangers, in the north region called Galicia...how can i begin this all process,for the first time in my 24 years old life?Thank you for your help.
@@adriann2649 , I also have problems with spanish people buying our properties, taking our jobs and using our public funds to support them in UK. How about that?
This is amazing. I'm from Argentina, my daughter and her family are living in Andalucía, Spain. The food is wonderful, it's fresh and healthy food, with natural aditives. The sun, the kindness of people and the excellent food worth the visit and I spend as much time as possible there. I believe little towns or villages in Andalucía are undervalued, you can find cheap homes for rent there to have the best time of your life. Your channel is first class, very good information.
I live in Sevilla for 5 years. Healthy food? I like the food here but with all honesty, unless if you go to some more modern restaurant, average food is fried one... I have visited almost all comunidades and for me, Galicia, Pais Vasco and northern Spain are by far the best one for the food.
@@techbuyer picadillo, salpicón, ensaladilla, potaje, arroz a la cubana, pipirrana, pimientos asados con bonito, mazamorra, ensalada de naranja with bacalao, etc, etc are they fried? No. One thing IS what you eat in bars and another completely different thing IS what Andalusian people like me eat at home, the real food I mean. And foreigners do not know. That IS our fault, not to show to visitors the real meals.
@sandokan2petrolis577 @sandokan2petrolis577 es lo mismo en cada pais, comida casera nunca se come en los restaurantes con la excepción de los restaurantes en los pueblos, aunque tambien allí menos cada vez. Lo que estas comentando no es la comida que merece que se sienta en el restaurante pa comer... No es todo de todo frito, hay platos muy buenos (carillada, cola de toro etc), pero en general, es muy por debajo de la comida gallega por ejemplo, al menos para mi gusto...
@@techbuyer para gustos los colores, como decimos en español. A mí me gusta un buen plato de Migas en vez de una hamburguesa 😂. Cada uno que coma lo que le guste
Vejer is where I learnt my Spanish. Three weeks living in Vejer and studying at La Janda was a game-changer. Classes everyday till 3pm, beach at Los Caños in the late afternoon, eating and getting drunk with locals in the evening. All led me to fall in love with this beautiful village, it's food,history, and people.
Wow Vejer. I am lucky enough to live close and its great. However avoid high season as its a small place that gets over loaded fast. Every venue gets a 30 minute queue and each becomes a chore. Go in Spring Mar - May or after mid September (when the Spanish kids go back to school) and its a joy to wander around eating Tapas, enjoying the views, having a cold beer etc. Arcos is also nice.
I was surprised too. What a little doll. So good to see Yoli too. Oh I miss Spain so much. Thank you, James for such incredible videos. I can taste the food. WOW!
Thanks again for another terrific video. Your videos are so well done and I have learned so much about Spain. I teach elementary school, ages 7-11, and the kids are so interested in other countries. Here in Ohio about 10% of the students speak Spanish and there are students from allover the world. Last year I had a Kiwi student whose parents recently moved to Ohio.I never knew much about Spain so we mainly talked about US history involving our independence from Britain and the other Western European countries except for Spain. School here starts in about two weeks, so now thanks to all of your terrific videos and info contained therein, I'll be able to talk to the kids about so many terrific things I've learned about Spain.
Hola. Pues con España tenéis mucha historia, indaga, busca... La corona de Castilla fueron los primeros en llegar a América (Continente, claro, no es un país) y porqué piensas que tenéis ciudades con nombres en español.."San Francisco, Santa Bárbara, San Antonio, etc,etc,etc... Un saludo
That sounds fantastic. Please then investigate and learn about the history and legacy from Spain in what is now a big part of the US. From the south (Florida, California, Lousiana, Texas, New Mexico, etc) up to the very north reaching Alaska. So much, although it is totally unknown to the population as it was unfortunately almost erased, falsified by the English and later US Americans. But still one can find documentation and some remains. US independence for example had important contribution from Spain. Then Spain lost part of its territories overseas to the US. etc. I am from Cádiz and studied high school in the US. None of this, which lasted centuries, was even slightly mentioned at US History class. Then so many people think Spain is in Mexico (or somewhere between Mexico and Brazil, I got that question/affirmation 😵💫) It makes me think, what if we in Spain, or any country in Europe for that matter, "selected" what part of our history we wanted to remember and preserve and leave the rest out. For example just kept the Roman history, monuments, influence but demolished or forgot intentionally about the Visigoths, Moors or the Phoenicians. It is actually quite sad, condescending even discriminating in my opinion.
We live in Chiclana and are so lucky to have Vejer on our doorstep along with Jerez, Cadiz & Medina Sidonia. This is a great undiscovered region for food. Love your channel, I know Yolly and yourself love our region
My God, James, your videos are so beautiful ! I feel like I've been eating everything that you've been eating ! Annie is a wonderful woman and a delightful guest on your channel ! I wish I could travel out of Australia, but a blood clot will kill me as soon as I land. We just don't have this kind of food in Sydney, all these centuries-old family recipes. Thank you, James. You're the next best thing to being here. All the best !
Great Tour with Annie B, and of course you James! What a special place, regional foods at their best! Great to see Yoli and Lucia, my goodness she has really grown since last I saw her, belissimo! Always look forward to these incredible opportunities to see Spain through your eyes. Thank you👍❤️🙏🏻
El pueblo de Vejer es muyyyy bonito y todos los Sevillanos vienen a Conil en verano para disfrutar de las playas estupendas. Don't ever miss the mentioned El jardin de Califa, restaurant directly at the main square. Unforgettable experience, the building and the moroccan food. It has a romantic roof top terrace❤
That pork pate spread I know well from the Azores, 'patê or pé de torresmo'. That's been around for centuries and it is originally from southern Spain that somehow made it's way to the Azores.
Oh yeah! This town is on my list now.... I made it to Portugal coastal places, Sevilla, Cordoba, and Malaga, and some white-washed villages on hillsides, but this place looks magic.
James this was such an awesome video with your guest Annie B! Every stop on your foodie whirlwind tour was just packed with cultural tidbits and my lil anthropology-loving heart just ate it up. Also crazy to see how much Lucia has grown!! I imagine she's got a kickass taste in food and adventure just like her parents 💕
This was a beautiful video! One of my favorites so far. Annie was so knowledgable and down to earth, what a great co-host. I hope to have the privilege of visiting this area some time.
That's my kind of breakfast...Savory! We visited Andalucia a few years ago and I still toast bread with garlic , olive oil and tomato for breakfast or any time of day!! Just love it!!
If you want to have your mind blown grab some good big homegrown tomatos, some olive oil and garlic toss it all into a mixer and mix it until it becomes a sort of spread. This is how we tend to have tostadas in my home in Granada, Spain. It accentuates the flavours so much, for me at least.
It's been awhile since i've received a notification from your channel.. Enjoyed this new episode! And that Hotel with the scattered rooms, looks Amazing!! And always nice to see your wife's appearance in your video's. 'Greetz from The Netherlands!
I still remember eating in Vejer 25 years ago when i worked in Chiclana, it was amazing.I still remember that one of the co-workers opende a restaurant on the main square (around 1999), i forgot the name. I want to go back now 😅. Greetings from Belgium 😊❤
My favorite breakfast in Spain 🇪🇸 was across from El Escorial. It included fresh tomato 🍅 sauce on rolls with Serrano ham with fresh-squeezed orange 🍊 juice. I do my best to reproduce it at home in the United States 🇺🇸 by making fresh tomato 🍅 sauce on fresh baked Pillsbury biscuits with American bacon 🥓. I call it my Spanish breakfast (desayuno).
Muchas Gracias James, Yolly y Annie for sharing this beautiful village with us. Its always great to see the pride and the love, that people put into producing and serving great quality local food, and keeping the traditions alive. Food wise, it was too much pork for me, but thats of course only my opinion.
It's true - pork is the main meat here. Following the reconquest in 1492, Isabella and Fernando filled the fields with pigs. But don't worry - pork is closely followed by Retinto beef, masses of fish and a splash of chicken
This is an absolutely brilliant video! What a beautiful little town in a perfect spot. I bet it never gets too hot there (kind of like in coastal Portugal) as you have the Atlantic Ocean breeze
Ahh.. just got back from a lovely family holiday in Sanlucar de Barrameda and Conil, both amazing locations for food in their own right too. I only managed a short day-trip to Vejer but will definitely have to come back some time!
Thanks James, I travel a lot for work in Cádiz province. The food really is incredible, the most inconspicuous ventas really do serve some of the best, simple, healthy food. Some of the best Calamar a la plancha I have had there!
Hi, I've just discovered your channel. Loving it! I've been living here in Catalonia for 4 years now. The thing i've really struggled with, as a vegetarian is finding vegetarian food when I eat out. It's not easy. I'm so glad near the end of this video you ate some lovely vegetarian dishes!
Wow - interesting development! I stayed at the Jardin de Califa for some days in Winter 2008 and remember having a hard time to find a place to eat besides the hotel restaurant…
How Vejer has changed since I last visited. Really a very normal town in a special location. I meet James just as he was opening his hotel, adding a house as he was able to expand. A man with very high standards, everything had to be done well. I do think that he kickstarted what Vejer has become.
Wow James! amazing that I would watch Omnivore on Apple TV and learn all about the Almadraba and then this comes up on your channel almost the next day 😊
I gotta say I enjoyed watching you on Mark's channel when you took him around to eat at some delicious restaurants. Subscribed! I been to Auckland so I thought cool he's from NZ. 😊
Thank you James for a great video. I already have Vejer on my list next time I go to Spain, however on watching the video I now know that I need an extra day longer - minimum.
You should come to the north of Spain, Galicia (octopus and mariscada, just dope), Asturias, Cantabria and, of course, especially the Basque Country where I'm from. Dad is from Galicia. All green, great cuisine, mountains, beach. From San Sebastian (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country), in 30min you could arrive to Hendaia (Hendaya/Hendaye) in public transportation. Just brilliant.
Hi James - It would be great if you could also do a short video on Zahora de los Atunes. We usually visit Zahora de los Atunes, Vejer and Cadiz for a tri-centre holiday every September - Its an amazing part of the world!
I think you should visit towns on their respective holidays, every town has their own and they are very unique, I live in Betera, and every 15th of August the townsfolk march carrying really tall and well-kept basil plants that have been grown throughout many months, these can grow up to 3 meters and it's a very nice experience walking alongside them, we also host another event the 17th of August where we throw many different fireworks inside fenced walls, it's also a very impressive experience, I think you should come visit! There are many other towns with unique festivities to them, they usually happen in the summer and I think it's worth investigating!
So bread and dripping and black pudding is uniquely Spanish? We had all this beautiful food in Sunderland in the 50s! Apart from the olive oil, wine and peppers!
What I love the most about spanish cuisine compared to other mediterranean cuisines is how incredibly simple most of it is... yet it doesn't fall short in freshness and flavour, where you'll have italian masterfully crafted pasta dishes in spain you'll have some simple fish dish or meat cut and it will just as memorable of a lunch. Mediterranean cuisine in general is just magical Tho obviously Vejer's cuisine isn't mediterranean per se since the town is rather further away from the mediterranean coast but the influence is noticeable!
Love your channel! Careful with bluefin tuna. It may be off the endangered list, but it’s unfortunately EXTREMELY high in mercury. Way higher than most other commonly eaten fish. Also, would be great to see some episodes with more plant based food options. Last time I was in Spain I was pleasantly surprised to find many plant based restaurants with delicious food using local ingredients. Especially in the larger cites.
All of Andalucía's white villages are unique, but Vejer stands out. El Jardín del Califa is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Spain. Well worth a special trip.
Acabo de ver como dices que vas a enseñar como hacer las tostadas bien y pones primero el aceite y luego el tomate. Primero restregar el ajo(Si te gusta ), luego SIEMPRE primero el tomate, después el aceite y por último la sal👌
I've always done it like you James, when it comes to pan tumaca. Put the oil and then put the tomato. Apparently I was wrong! The traditional catalan way is to first put the tomato spread and then the olive oil (and of course a pinch of salt). Who knew?! I always put the oil first cause it makes more sense as it'll nicely soak into the bread. (and your way, and by chance, my way of doing it, is popular only in Andalucia)
As a Spaniard, you´ve been doing it right... for the most part. I mean, you don´t need a PhD in Chemistry to realize that if you add the oil first, it quickly absorbs into the bread, so you can add the tomato later, getting a non-messy product. The opposite is not true: if you add the tomato purée first, it doesn´t absorb nearly as well, so if you add the olive oil later, you´re basically creating a messy waterslide for oil. Literally trying to mix oil with water. The reason why Catalans tell you tomato comes first, it´s because their traditional way is to scrub the actual tomato on the bread, in which case, makes total sense. But since the vast majority of places around Spain won´t give you a tomato, but a tomato purée, oil first, tomato later, is actually the right way to go about it. Best!
@@1650million I thought the rubbing ramallet tomatoes was a Mallorca/Baleares thing, always assumed everyone else used tumaca. Although with Mallorca we're opening a whole other can of worms arround it being pamboli or pam tumaca.
Can I live with Annie??😂 Only just heard of lomo de manteca in malaga market. Its still in my freezer🙄waiting for a special occasion when my heart misses spain . Yet apparently it has its own street, its own day . I would do anything to live in spain just the food the culture the people the language the weather my heart breaks when im not there. Madrid in september though, hoping i bump into u or yoli ❤

I love this episode so much. This village seems so idyllic I miss Spain.
Síii. Es una maravilla 😊 Y la comida deliciosa! Riquísima!
Looks like an amazing lifestyle. Thanks for sharing.
Maravilloso video!!!❤❤❤gracias
Thank you James for a great video. I already have Vejer on my list next time I go to Spain, however on watching the video I now know that I need an extra day longer - minimum.
I cannot wait to go and visit my heritage there. I will keep in touch with you and your family :)
You should come to the north of Spain, Galicia (octopus and mariscada, just dope), Asturias, Cantabria and, of course, especially the Basque Country where I'm from. Dad is from Galicia. All green, great cuisine, mountains, beach. From San Sebastian (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country), in 30min you could arrive to Hendaia (Hendaya/Hendaye) in public transportation. Just brilliant.
One of my favourite episodes
Your best video thus far. Choice of music is super awesome
Thank you!
Great vid! Going here in Sept on a 'Road Scholar' tour of Andalucia. Very timely
The most delicious day you ever had? wow! Lucia sprouted so fast it seems. Nice to see Yoli too, you guys are great!
Amazing! Another city added to the list.
I think it really helps in your video showing the place on a map and how to get there etc. Gracias
Hi James - It would be great if you could also do a short video on Zahora de los Atunes. We usually visit Zahora de los Atunes, Vejer and Cadiz for a tri-centre holiday every September - Its an amazing part of the world!
I think you should visit towns on their respective holidays, every town has their own and they are very unique, I live in Betera, and every 15th of August the townsfolk march carrying really tall and well-kept basil plants that have been grown throughout many months, these can grow up to 3 meters and it's a very nice experience walking alongside them, we also host another event the 17th of August where we throw many different fireworks inside fenced walls, it's also a very impressive experience, I think you should come visit!
There are many other towns with unique festivities to them, they usually happen in the summer and I think it's worth investigating!
Wow just watching this video makes my mouth waters.
Vejer de la Frontera, para mí el pueblo más bonito de Cádiz. Después de Castellar Viejo 😂
I agree, it's a wonderful video. Many thanks
The food looked delicious 😋
So bread and dripping and black pudding is uniquely Spanish? We had all this beautiful food in Sunderland in the 50s! Apart from the olive oil, wine and peppers!
Interesting. So much cerdo. For me, Cadiz and mojama, ortiguera, tortilla de camarones, choco con papas.
I've been there, beautiful place! Amazing food!
no u didnt 😂
How big is Lucia! Seems like yesterday she was eagerly awaited!
Viva Vejeeeeeer!!!
Awesome video… thanks
What I love the most about spanish cuisine compared to other mediterranean cuisines is how incredibly simple most of it is... yet it doesn't fall short in freshness and flavour, where you'll have italian masterfully crafted pasta dishes in spain you'll have some simple fish dish or meat cut and it will just as memorable of a lunch. Mediterranean cuisine in general is just magical
Tho obviously Vejer's cuisine isn't mediterranean per se since the town is rather further away from the mediterranean coast but the influence is noticeable!
Great video.Please, more of that stuff👍😊
Really enjoy your content! 👍
Love your channel! Careful with bluefin tuna. It may be off the endangered list, but it’s unfortunately EXTREMELY high in mercury. Way higher than most other commonly eaten fish.
Also, would be great to see some episodes with more plant based food options. Last time I was in Spain I was pleasantly surprised to find many plant based restaurants with delicious food using local ingredients. Especially in the larger cites.
All of Andalucía's white villages are unique, but Vejer stands out. El Jardín del Califa is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Spain. Well worth a special trip.
I'm checking Expedia to look for a flight to that side of spain. It looks amazing
Enjoy!
Umh wonderful. ✨
Amazing Channel 😍😍
Acabo de ver como dices que vas a enseñar como hacer las tostadas bien y pones primero el aceite y luego el tomate. Primero restregar el ajo(Si te gusta ), luego SIEMPRE primero el tomate, después el aceite y por último la sal👌
En Cádiz están alcanzado al país vasco en gastronomía. De lujo
I've always done it like you James, when it comes to pan tumaca. Put the oil and then put the tomato. Apparently I was wrong! The traditional catalan way is to first put the tomato spread and then the olive oil (and of course a pinch of salt). Who knew?! I always put the oil first cause it makes more sense as it'll nicely soak into the bread. (and your way, and by chance, my way of doing it, is popular only in Andalucia)
First is always scrub garlic on the bread, then tomato, then olive oil, and then some salt
@@ferransentisbarcia955 you're right. But while researching this, what you described is valid everywhere apart from Andalucía. Quite curious right?
As a Spaniard, you´ve been doing it right... for the most part.
I mean, you don´t need a PhD in Chemistry to realize that if you add the oil first, it quickly absorbs into the bread, so you can add the tomato later, getting a non-messy product. The opposite is not true: if you add the tomato purée first, it doesn´t absorb nearly as well, so if you add the olive oil later, you´re basically creating a messy waterslide for oil. Literally trying to mix oil with water.
The reason why Catalans tell you tomato comes first, it´s because their traditional way is to scrub the actual tomato on the bread, in which case, makes total sense. But since the vast majority of places around Spain won´t give you a tomato, but a tomato purée, oil first, tomato later, is actually the right way to go about it.
Best!
@@1650million I thought the rubbing ramallet tomatoes was a Mallorca/Baleares thing, always assumed everyone else used tumaca. Although with Mallorca we're opening a whole other can of worms arround it being pamboli or pam tumaca.
Can I live with Annie??😂
Only just heard of lomo de manteca in malaga market. Its still in my freezer🙄waiting for a special occasion when my heart misses spain . Yet apparently it has its own street, its own day . I would do anything to live in spain just the food the culture the people the language the weather my heart breaks when im not there. Madrid in september though, hoping i bump into u or yoli ❤
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Nice tour video🇺🇸🌷🌷
