Fantastic video guys. The accommodation looks awesome. Regretting the attire. Ah Softy's. I thought you were hardy up north. Free parking and free wee wees. We paid 50P today. And £15 to park. ! Deffo worth going up. Stunning views. So Jealous. Yeah Spin us round. Love the high energy hiking. Thats what we love to see.Gotta save the knees. Ive got one good one and Kim hasn't got any. Cows ringing the notification bells. Wow just like Julie Andrews. Only better. El Wonkey Donkey. 9 degrees is bikini weather. I need a sponsorship deal with St Miguel. Top altitude bridge twirl. A fantastic day, with everything. Top Video. Thoroughly enjoyed coming along with you both. Tapas and drinks. Well earned.👍🚶♂🚶♀
Well done on the good knee Watto! 😂 yes I have one good one and Jill has one good one, but not sure for how much longer! 😂 Have to say we didn’t have to pay for parking or wee wees all week and we visited some pretty impressive places. 9 degrees is bikini weather for us! Hate to also mention that the wine is £1 a bottle and decent spirits are about £4.20 for 70CL. really could save a ton of money by living there. Sadly Brits can only be in the EU for 90 days of any 180. you can’t even move from country to country every 90 days you have to be stamped leaving the EU completely or face very severe consequences. Have an amazing weekend both. Sending all our love xx
What a great film this was: great free parking, great cable car ride, great views, great gate of the week, great cheap food, great twirling & prancing and finally great San Miguel beer. Yes without a doubt a TRULY GREAT FILM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's absolutely stunning. That will be hard to beat. Such a diverse hiking route, too. The vistas were out of this world. And I thought the donkey would have been called Quixote. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. Thanks for sharing.
darn it Quixote would be a great name for the donkey! wish I had thought of that! the next instalment is a route we have done several times and is regarded as THE best in Spain and one of the best in the world. its Jills favourite hike of all time and its certainly in my top three. thank you for watching and hope that great weather holds for you. had to do a double take on the channel name when I saw you walking in beautiful sunshine! 😂
Hi Phil it’s a fabulous area! We too hope to return mid September for our 10 year anniversary looking at maybe staying in the Somieda national park and area we haven’t yet explored! Hope you and Debs are having a lovely weekend! much love ❤️
what a great video....with a great pleace to stay and the views are so priceless to see....thanks for sharing this great hike.....have a great week my friends Jill and Nick
Nick Jill brilliant that cable car 🚠 big but beautiful decent 🏔️🏔️👍 Cow bells 🔔 (my eyes are welling up ) Wow the picos are amazing Great job ATB Simon 🤠👍
Hi my friends very nice video 😊,, beautiful view 😍 3:23 nice delicious food enjoy, and beautiful view 😍 amazing 11:17 , thank you so much for sharing 20:13 😍👏👏Jill and Nick, have a great weekend 😃
Hi Nick and Jill! Very misty in the mountains! Wow, the scenery is stunning and the cable car ride was so steep and high. Oh... err...not good if you have vertigo! It was great that when you got to the top the mist cleared and you could see for miles. Loved the beautiful cows with their cowbells...and the donkeys! Lovely spot for a nice refreshing San Miguel. Your sense of fun and enthusiasm is contagious. A very enjoyable video - thank you! ❤❤
Absolutely brilliant ! You might have guessed I'd love this one, oh Wow ... I can't believe how many times I was saying wow all the way through. So nice to have a drive through Potes at the start, brought back some wonderful memories for me 😍 Like you, we were basking in beautiful sunshine at the bottom but hiding from hail stones at the top, though we were nowhere near as high as you. To see snow on mountain tops is like the icing on the cake ... literally haha Great idea to get the cable car up and so cheap ! No wonder it was packed ! You'd think some Spanish entrepreneur would be selling woolly jumpers & leggings at the top ! Albondigas looked yummy. But those views wow absolutely stunning and they just went on and on ... beautiful. Seemed like a good path too with lots of varied terrain. Loved the cow bells. Eagles ... fabulous oh and donkeys too. Haha brilliant to even get a gate of the week and,and a bridge twirl 😆 Fabulous day then to go back to such a wonderful Airbnb must have made it just perfect... Loved it .. can't wait to see the next one 😍🤗🤗 xx
This looks a fantastic hike 😊 loved it all the beautiful clouds, always like the bells the cows and donkeys have, fab bench with a drink and a view 😁😁. Loved el’ donkey 😊 those views are just endless there aren’t they. Bridge twirls and gate of the week! Fab video really enjoyed this one.
Looks like a great hike up above the clouds. A bit chilly but at least walking fast will keep you warmer. I wasn't expecting to see a farm up there. 😮 Got to love Donkeys 🫏. That was a great landscape composition at 18.06, I hope you got a snap.
Morning Jill and Nick (Hatman/Sweet Cheeks)…. Now that’s an Air BnB with a view …. Marvin… a paranoid car ?? Good temperature for walking ..but not what you’d expect for Spain in June …Love a cable car ….Stunning views …..till the cloud level dropped … today’s Ads… loo roll…..hmmm 😮 ..nice link into the meat balls maybe ?? …Actually looked tasty. Life in Yorkshire prepares you for 2 degrees and snow in shorts … We never got used to that to honest. That’s a hell of a vista off that trail…. Loving this.. Just you two and the Cow bells ….And a place to buy beer … Did you for a moment think you’d gone to heaven ??..Mud ..mountains and a brilliant descent…. What a brilliant great value day exploring….Loved this so much and can’t wait for day 2 ..thx Guys
Hopefully Marvin had some smooth moves for you guys during the trip. The cable cars looked like a fun way to spend the afternoon, we hope Nick kept you warm Jilly. The views from up there are absolutely amazing! Picos de Europa are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this magical experience. Good food, great views, and a bit of adventure. Sometimes, that’s all you need. You’re braver than us for hiking in those conditions! It’s inspiring to see you push through the cold and enjoy every moment. We definitely didn't get school trips like that either! Save the Knees! Such a beautiful journey from the top to the bottom, watching the landscape completely change. Keep up the great work-you’re making these places come alive!
Aaaww you two are the best thanks guys! Yeah we were worried that it would be too hot visiting Spain mid June but it was unseasonably cooler for the time of year which suited us perfectly! It was a great holiday and we hope to return to Spain next year! Much love ❤️
Hi Nick and Jill love your cabin looks fabulous. The mist on the mountains looked beautiful although a bit nippy especially for shorts 🥶 . Great views from the cable car although I would have given it a miss . Great to get above the eagles Dave always gets misty eyed up the mountains as he used to enjoy skiing ⛷️. Great review of your chips and meatballs made us hungry . Amazing up the top love it ❤glad you found your gloves Jill. The sound of cowbells is so evocative. Cute donkeys 🫏 love them. Good you found that Spanish gate and a bridge perfect. Was lovely and green further down did look a bit like uk with that mud 😆 what a fantastic start to your trip. A very big 👍 from us. Hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Nick and Jill. Loved you accommodation, very cosy. Wow the cable up to the top was amazing. beautiful views but very high up. nice lunch right up in them clouds. stunning views. nice pub stop on your journey. Love the sound of the cow bells. a bit of a steep walk amongst the trees and mud oh no!! Lovely video, have a lovely weekend, take care xx Julie and Tony xx

Free parking Yeah!!! 😊 It's summer, you have to wear shorts 😂 Morgs will be reminding me of this whilst we're on our Scottish roadtrip in August 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣 WOW the cable car looks amazing Loved your review of the food and the combo bite Jill 😂😂😂 Good price too Think Nick needed his thermals bet you were glad you found your gloves Jill How amazing you were above the clouds and snow on the the mountains Loved hearing the cow bells 😊 Perfect song to sing Jill, more of it next time please What a perfect spot for a beer 🍺 Yeah, gate of the week in Spain and bridge twirling 😊 £17.30 each for a great day out Hope you enjoyed your tapas and drinks 🍸 Looking forward to the next video from your adventures in Spain 😊❤
Nice looking free parking 👌 The cable car wow very high up Awesome views 👏 Nice looking food you had. Crazy how cold it got 6000 feet to be expected. Good hike up the mountain. So many nice views. 😂Dos San Miguel greatly deserved. Noisy bells 🔔 cute donkey 🫏 Good Spanish gate of the week 👍 Cool looking woodland on the way back down. Well done for doing it all . Good video, Generation Xplorers Generation Xperiences 👍 Hope, you both have a good weekend 👍
thanks Adzey, yes that 2C was a genuine surprise for Spain in June. I was expecting heat waves (glad we didn’t get one mind). wasn’t expecting to get use of my thermals on that trip! have an awesome weekend!
You opened up and closed in a beautiful AirBnB, Nick and Jill. Marvin too! Stunning views from the cable car. I'm happy for you that the fog seemed to disappear when you rode! Or at least moved over. Meatballs for two were priced right! Stunning views from your hike on top. Lovely blue legs too! 🤣🤣Glad it warmed up. Spanish Gate of the Week? Lovely to see Spanish Steps right after! But wait. Did you make in to Rome? Lovely tour.
Jill, you are as crazy as Jojo in your shorts and its only 7ºc! Awesome vies as you ascend and once you are at the top. The meatballs....mouth watering. Thank goodness you brought your thermals Nicholas. 2ºc eeek! A great hike at the top. Moooo 🐮Love the sounds of the bells. Taking me back whne we were on the Camino. The rocky escarpment is amazing. The sun was coming out, the views from the Refuggio looked amazing. I felt we were with you on this walk. Aww Donkeys aren't they gorgeous. What an amazing hike that was. I would have loved this hike, the scenery way amazing. Loved this adventure. Thank you for taking us along. Have a great day Nicholas and Jill.
Wowzers! That looks absolutely gorgeous. I love Spain and I am really looking forward to seeing all the hikes and other adventures from your trip. What beautiful scenery and such a mix of temperature on your hike. Glad to see Nick going with the old hiking trick of layering and Jill's gloves must have been a welcome find. Also what a stunning place to stop for a refreshing San Miguel. The footage was amazing as always and the video was really enjoyable from start to finish, thank you for taking us away on hols with you! x
That's amazing views for sure. But not sure if I should manage in just shorts! 🥶🥶🥶🥶 Seemed like it wasn't that expensive either totally, so totally worth it. Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure Lovelies. Have a fabulous Sunday 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
Hello Nick and Jill 👋. That’s really stunning and beautiful journey 👍. Italy is my first country that I made more time and enjoy travelling. Thank you again for sharing the fantastic views. Have a great weekend 👍❤️🇩🇪.
Hi Kenn we have done Italy 🇮🇹 in the past but decided this year to go back to Spain 🇪🇸 and hope to return in September! Hope you are having a great weekend 👍
That's magnificent ❤ There's someting about Spain that intrigues me. I'd love to explore those lesser kniwn parts. Great video once again. Thank you 👍😃
Loving the video, loving this new series in Spain. What amazing views from your air bnb. Those mountains are something. Those clouds were something brewing hehe. Wow, low temperatures! so fun watching the cabler ride, so beautiful whatever angle. Ooo those meatballs looked yummy, great combo Jill! Ooo yes, Beer on the mountains, so epic. Loved seeing the range and the terrain too, loving the bells on the cows 🐄 and donkeys, bless them. Northern Spain is super picturesque. I agree Nick, world class views. Thank you both! Loving this series! xx
Aaww thanks Alessa our holiday videos never seem to do well it’s coming 10th at the moment so glad you enjoyed it lots more to come! Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Oh wow 😮 That view on the cable car ride is amazing! It would seem a bit scary 😨 Good thing the clouds noved in so you could enjoy your neal without that distracting view 😅 Nick cracks me up, the legs will have to freeze 😂 The scenery on that hike is stupendous!! I seriously wish my knees worked like Jills. I was thinking of that song right before Jill starting singing it! That trail down just kept better and better 😊 Fantastic video! I loved it!! More cow bells please 🔔
Hello guys. I enjoyed that great cable car ride up into the mountains. Such beautiful views. Amazing mountain, landscapes and cute animals. All the food looked delicious. Meatballs and French fries are a great combo.
Hi Nick and Jill. Happy Anniversary? Happy Birthday jill? Congratulations to you on surpassing 3KKKKKKK yayayaay! Wow, Spain is on my bucket list. I am carefully watching.. wow deep fog the cable is running through quite fast. Brrrr Jill...do you need my leggins? hahah haha what? meatballs and French Fries in Spain? haha I thought of Paella/rice dish 6:116:37 OMG, I am speechless...this hike is not only strenuous but those views are spectacular and memorable 15:10 wow are they wild horses?? Did you feel the air thin at any point? Outstanding trekking!!! love it. Beautifully produced! I thank YOU. Look forward for more episodes from Spain.
You are very observant Ms Kayak we are usually away for our anniversary or my birthday but that’s September we are lucky enough this year to go away twice this one was just before Nick’s birthday we will be going back for our 10 year anniversary in September! You guys would love this area of Spain lots of kayaking opportunities too! Hope you are having a great week ❤️
Your base is on a beautiful place. Fantastic views from the cable car and from the mountain although there is a little fog. Great hike up the mountain 👏👏
Meatball french fry, combo bite, you cannot beat that. But the beer halfway through that hike probably comes close. Pretty amazing, taking the cable car up and hiking back down. And meeting some donkey friends as well. Awesome.
Really decent food as well. I’ve kind of tarred Spain with a hearty food over quality brush in previous visits but on this occasion the quality matched the generous offering. I think those donkeys had been getting into some scrapes on that range. they have mastiffs to guard the cows on those ranges and I suspect the donkeys might have ventured too close to the cows and got into it with the mastiffs. that would explain some of the bites and injuries they had sustained. really friendly though!
What a spectacular place to take an adventure!! Gotta take these kinds of opportunities when one can!! What a view from your residence too!! I think I could wake up to that with no problem at all! Fantastic!!
Lol, I enjoyed meeting Marvin - he looks very reliable! The cable car ride looks like a fun way of getting up the mountain. Too bad it was a bit cloudy and cold up there but it gives some good incentive to hike fast. It's interesting how the weather can be so deceiving at the mountaintops. Loved hearing the cow bells - definitely nothing like that in the mountains in Canada! Looks like an amazing hike in the mountains. Have a great day you two!
Oh that was so pretty at the top even if it was a bit nippy! Loved the cable car ride and that is such gorgeous area for hiking. Nice that you were able to find some St Miguel! The donkeys that you came across were so cute and friendly too. Absolutely loved that green valley that you found. That was beautiful! I hope you both had a great weekend! ~ Anita 😊👍
The place you started off from was already amazing with the view. Oh my I love the donkeys you encountered! ❤️. Stunning place guys. Hope you have an amazing time! 👍😊👍
You sure picked a good time to go.... less tourists and better temperatures ! Shorts Jill 😱! Love the cable car/gondola ride up. Almost Jet-lag material so fast 🤣! I tried counting the people in that cabin - looked more than 20 to me. That would freak me out. Shame about the clouds- nice thought, it was blue behind the thick white blanket 🤣! Perfect attire 👌 - and I am sure you didn't notice the cold. Save your breath Nick...the walk will warm you up. Loving the area, the cow bells, the snow peaks and the green grass. Oh to be 45 again..the knees I mean🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! I was hoping there would be a gate 🤣! Take the stage Jill, you deserve to be in the limelight. Absolutely stunning. Wow. How long did the walk take by the way- just curious? Happy Sunday. 👌🩷🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
WOWOW What stunning views just from that lovely place you're staying at, if you took me along I would have been happy if you left me behind I would have gladly cooked some tapas for you😉...love Mrv...Jill😃 and how can you go wrong with free parking🤑 That cable car did look a bit crowded! Well I have this much to say those 9 miles you took down were filled with livestock😁 and Nick made a new friend with an ass 😂😂 I love it! Gorgeousness everywhere I looked...outstanding video...I think you've rubbed off on my Jill, I do prefer chips with my meatballs instead of spaghetti, what would my family think...any good Italian woman liking FF with her meatballs is unheard of🤣 Love you guys, you've made the start of my weekend bearable !🥰😘 Hugs from Hollywood!🤩😘
Aaww Donna you are lovely! Thanks for your amazing comment! It was the best holiday, lots more to come! Much love to you across the pond to Hollywood ❤️👍
Northern Spain looks so beautiful! What a lovely AirBNB you had with the most incredible views, wow. 2 or 3 degrees at the top and with shorts lol! You two are brave. The cable cars up the mountain look so fun and STUNNING views, wow. Mmm those fries look good Jill! Great combo bite! Nice hike up!! Above the clouds - so amazing!! A beer at 5000 feet, I love it. What a perfect place for a drink at the picnic table. Cool to see the eagle. Aweee I love the donkeys. So friendly and sweet. Nice it got a bit warmer, 9 degrees is better than 2 degrees lol! Another amazing adventure you guys :)
What a stunning place guys! The views are insane. Marvin is a great little car (apart from his steering wheels on the wrong side!!). Cool we love a cable car trip. Wow that view, so glad the cloud lifted for you. Well a bit anyway. Meatballs and chips - amazing! Good job on racing last the school kids!! It's a stunning walk. Love the cowbells! Wills would love to record those. Dos San Miguel! Excellent! Those donkeys are cute!!! What an amazing days were gutted we couldn't come out and visit!!! We can see why you love it though. 🍻
thanks guys 🙏 you would love it there, so much variety from Cities to coastlines to hidden gems. Marvin was a beauty, we were the first people to ever drive him! he had features like “steering assist” and “auto park” but we were too scared to use any of that. his constant beeping when speed limits change or when your close to anything got a little annoying by the end of the holiday! Almost gave myself a heart attack running past those school groups. not only were we out of practice ascending anything other than a staircase we were running up gulping in freezing cold air! Hope you guys have an awesome weekend 🍻
Loved the teleferico! Not sure about meatballs and chips, good hearty mountain food though! Jill's voiceover sold them to me! Super value for money! Awesome seeing the snow and hearing the cowbells and mooo! I was wondering when Sounds of the Music would get belted out! Sheer verticality! Just over £17 each, superb. What a great view there, can you see why you want to move there!
I still have firmly in my memory the time I went to a “posh” Spanish restaurant and spent good money on canned pork balls. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of beef on those balls, first time fried those chips too so a win, win. The sauce was definitely homemade too! Really missing Spain, we’ll be going back in a couple of months but any research into planning to retire there just gets worse and worse. Even non EU places like Switzerland you can’t stamp out of Europe into and then sneak back in. The penalties for spending more than 90 days in any 180 are super severe. Hopefully things will change if Spain can fight the European Courts but things look grim atm.
What a fabulous Air BNB location. Glad the clouds cleared for you. Nice to see you were properly prepared for the drop in temperature at altitude. (Apart from the gloves) 😂 It can catch a lot of people out! You deserved that San Miguel! Beautiful video. 😀👍
this started out my sunday morning just fabulously and well, filled with envy. 🤣 marvin was seemed to be an excellent steed for your adventures. the cable cars look awesome. mr sl isn't a fan of heights or elevation for that matter, so things i probably won't do unless i ditch him for the ride. i'm a fan of albondigas. running from school children above the clouds and fancy free (and maybe a little chilly jilly)! salut! those donkeys def looked rabid, good thing you cleaned up. 😂clearly i had fun on this day with you two. big hugs! 🛴❤
Hello there! Love your channel name and picture! Aaww it’s really nice to hear from someone who has also done it! It’s a beautiful area isn’t? Hope you have had a lovely weekend and have a smashing week ahead 👍❤️
Those views were out of this world😳 I don’t think I would ride that gondola though, but it looked lovely in the valley! No matter where ya go there is always gate if the week. Yep those fries looked good and I’m about to hit up KFC for some😂
Hi LB 🙋🏻♀️ oh no have you fallen off the Keto wagon?? You can’t be having fries from KFC (although we did for Nick’s birthday (as you know from IG)) We loved it when we found a gate as you don’t see many abroad, it won’t be the last Spanish one 😉 We absolutely love this picturesque area of Spain and hope to return in September! Lots more to come from this holiday between Nick playing Mr Politics 🤣🤣 have a great week ❤️
What an amazing place to stay, it must have been awesome to wake up to these views every day. The cable car up and a hike down sounded a dam fine idea to me but wow dam chilly too. Looking at those views I think I would have preferred a much slower ride and I bet those meatballs and chips went down well mind - that combo bite looked amazing. The value of the trip and food was really good but the star of the show were those views - astonishing! I take tablets for my knees every day religiously and (tough wood) have no trouble at all but 3 years ago I could not walk a mile on flat ground, without having to come back home in agony with knee pain. I did a video on the tablets which I had just stated taking (and still do) - check it out :o). What a place to have Dos San Miguel and take about a bench with view - wow! You must have felt back home in the muddy section but loved the wildflower meadows and if Carlsberg made brilliant days out - that must have been one of the best of them! Cheers Alan
Gosh Alan, will check that video out. we do overuse our knees a lot on our work too as well as on the hikes that we do, a tablet might be the answer. its mostly descents that I suffer with and the poles certainly help with that and as a last resort I will strap them up. Certainly didn’t tire of those views from the terrace, if i could up sticks and move I 1000% would do it tomorrow.
🤣 we always have to name our car I know we didn’t think so especially in June 🥶 it did get much warmer though it’s so fast lit different due to the mountains! hope you guys are having a great weekend 👍
Hey Nic & Jill. Just thought I'd catch up on some of your uploads as we have been kinda absent for a few weeks from the YT platform. I have been to Spain many times but never in this region. The gondola ride to the top was great with great views❤. The hike was awesome, albeit a bit chilly by the looks😅... great stuff guys. Loved it.
Hi there Laurie & Karen it really is a great region and we highly recommend it if you are ever back that way 🇪🇸 Lovely having you back hope all is well ❤️
This Shengen rule post Brexit is an absolute nightmare for us. Can’t even stamp out into Switzerland and step back in by car. We really are not allowed to spend more than 90 days in 180 n Europe. I’m not giving up yet and hoping for change but at some point we will turn our attention to Canada..
Your accommodation in Spain looks gorgeous. What an atmospheric cable car ride and rather chilly because of all the naughty clouds. You got such a stunning view and a great position in the cable car. A lovely meal with a fantastic view. Good job you're not afraid of heights. I had jelly legs when I did something similar in the Dolomites! The walk you took at the top flooded very pleasant and very beautiful. Poor scabby donkeys lol.
Hi Nettie 🤭 yes Nick made sure he was well positioned for filming whereas I was like a sardine in the middle but to be fair where ever you were there was smashing views! Felt great until I looked up when almost at the top and noticed a set of ladders attached to the ceiling 😳 gave me a little tummy flutter 🤣 Have a lovely weekend ❤️
Stunning views on your hike, and nice to see contrasting landscapes. Although not sure about the 14 degrees in June, those are mid winter temperatures for me in Australia so that's why I escape to Europe!
just the ones that are like buckets, although you are right the horror stories around cable cars always stick in your mind. that would be a truly horrible way to die!
That was a stunning walk. I really dig on the Spanish prices. Everything, including beer, was so cheap. Unlike at the highest restaurant in Australia. The Eagles Nest at Mt Kosciusko (1937 mt, 6360 ft) where the meatballs are 34 bucks and the beers 11 or 12 bucks. Yep, Spain wins on price. I didn't realise that part of Spain was so mountainous. We sort of drove around it on our way from Bilbao to Salamanca then Portugal, and a lot of the drive was near dark in the middle of winter so we couldn't see shit. Will definitely have to put it on the itinerary the next time we're in Spain... If you can prise me from a pintxos bar in San Sebastian. 😂 Excellent video Gen Xers!!!! ps that cable car ride looked terrifying
Hi Shane yes we too adore the prices in Spain 🇪🇸 and it’s a fabulous area! What a shame you missed seeing the Picos de Europa when you last drove through! We highly recommend them! jeez that mountain place does sound expensive! Hope all is well with all the Nixon family ❤️
@@GENerationXplorers We are all good thanks. I complain about the prices here all the time but to be fair they're probably similar to the UK. We hardly ever go out any more... save more money for travel that way. 😁
Well that was brilliant 😍 The scenery was just incredible. Personally I think I’d have done the route in reverse if that was possible? My problem is I have dodgy knees and coming down always seems harder. How long was the total walk, in time? Super cheap. Would have been 4x more expensive if you were in the Austrian alps 😳 2° In shorts Jill 💪🏼😂
We have done that route before and Jill was keen to do it in reverse, we both suffer with our knees on the descent! Think it was our eagerness to get to the cafe at the top that made us repeat in the same direction. took us about four and a half hours to get back down but we did spend quite a while in the refugio and then we stopped in silence for a good long time in the wooded section in the hope of hearing or seeing you know what! yes Austria can be a bit pricier but I’d say still way cheaper than the UK! don’t think we were envisioning 2C in Spain in June, im glad we packed all the thermals and layers, wasn’t expecting to use them!
We have explored Lochness when we first met almost 20 years ago! It’s a long way from where we live would take about 10 hours to get there (takes us less than that to get to Spain surprisingly) but maybe one day we will return! will try and dig out some pics from our lochness trip to send you 👍❤️
Awww I love well we love your videos do you have a fund thing or how do you send money to support you guys I mean anything helps towards drinks meals etc to show are appreciation ❤
@MagentaOtterTravels after seeing them in 2019 I think I’ve had a camera strapped to my hand ready to film at any given second for every moment of every holiday since. Other than a lot of distant growls they have never shown themselves again!
Anything over about 3C is short weather for me. it did get a little chillier on this day than that. Jill did well though, she is more likely to not wear shorts till 10C.
Fantastic video guys. The accommodation looks awesome. Regretting the attire. Ah Softy's. I thought you were hardy up north. Free parking and free wee wees. We paid 50P today. And £15 to park. ! Deffo worth going up. Stunning views. So Jealous. Yeah Spin us round. Love the high energy hiking. Thats what we love to see.Gotta save the knees. Ive got one good one and Kim hasn't got any. Cows ringing the notification bells. Wow just like Julie Andrews. Only better. El Wonkey Donkey. 9 degrees is bikini weather. I need a sponsorship deal with St Miguel. Top altitude bridge twirl. A fantastic day, with everything. Top Video. Thoroughly enjoyed coming along with you both. Tapas and drinks. Well earned.👍🚶♂🚶♀
Well done on the good knee Watto! 😂 yes I have one good one and Jill has one good one, but not sure for how much longer! 😂 Have to say we didn’t have to pay for parking or wee wees all week and we visited some pretty impressive places. 9 degrees is bikini weather for us! Hate to also mention that the wine is £1 a bottle and decent spirits are about £4.20 for 70CL. really could save a ton of money by living there. Sadly Brits can only be in the EU for 90 days of any 180. you can’t even move from country to country every 90 days you have to be stamped leaving the EU completely or face very severe consequences. Have an amazing weekend both. Sending all our love xx
@@GENerationXplorers maybe just maybe. Change will happen. I think the EU is a spent force. Be good cheers 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️🍷🍷
🤞 who else will drink their cheap wine if not the Brits!? 😂
@@GENerationXplorers true dat. 🤪
Northern Spain travel vlog
Very exciting to see 😊
Thanks Aishu ❤️
Wow lovely green pastures on the path up the Cantabria mountaints. The teleferico ride was stunning too. 👍👍
Many thanks Kenzo yeah it was stunning we had the best time 👍❤️
What a great film this was: great free parking, great cable car ride, great views, great gate of the week, great cheap food, great twirling & prancing and finally great San Miguel beer. Yes without a doubt a TRULY GREAT FILM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Mike and not a JBP in sight once we passed those school groups! We instantly thought of you ♥️
Like 22 👍 💯 ❤
Thank you 👍
It's absolutely stunning. That will be hard to beat. Such a diverse hiking route, too. The vistas were out of this world. And I thought the donkey would have been called Quixote. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. Thanks for sharing.
darn it Quixote would be a great name for the donkey! wish I had thought of that! the next instalment is a route we have done several times and is regarded as THE best in Spain and one of the best in the world. its Jills favourite hike of all time and its certainly in my top three. thank you for watching and hope that great weather holds for you. had to do a double take on the channel name when I saw you walking in beautiful sunshine! 😂
เป็นการผจญภัยที่สนุก ติดตามตอนต่อไป 💯
Thank you ❤️
Catching up with my viewings guys 🎥 🍿. Nick & Jill absolutely 👌 love ❤️ this 🇪🇸 cable car looks insane !!!!!!!

Thank you so much 😊
Wow... sensational view, great place to spend time enjoy your trip, thanks for this beautiful video.👍
Thank you too 👍
Great videos travel 🥰
Thank you! 😃
Waking up by aviary alarm clock is the best! Unless it's a rooster or peacock at 4:30am! lol
the bird song was so relaxing. a far cry from the pigeons that my neighbour likes to bang on the fire escape to scare every morning at first light..
We really enjoyed the video , we have a place booked in same area mid September. Love the meatballs ,and the hike was amazing phil
Hi Phil it’s a fabulous area! We too hope to return mid September for our 10 year anniversary looking at maybe staying in the Somieda national park and area we haven’t yet explored! Hope you and Debs are having a lovely weekend! much love ❤️
what a great video....with a great pleace to stay and the views are so priceless to see....thanks for sharing this great hike.....have a great week my friends Jill and Nick

Cheers Simon it’s our favourite place in the planet and we hope to return in September 👍❤️
Those views are AMAZING!!!

Hola guys. The views weee amazing from the cable car. 🚠 and your hike 👍👍
Great video guys and great day...
Thanks 👍 it was 😘
Catching up ❤ looks like a lovely meal. Have a good week
Thank you 😋 you too 👍
Hi Nick and Jill! Very misty in the mountains! Wow, the scenery is stunning and the cable car ride was so steep and high. Oh... err...not good if you have vertigo! It was great that when you got to the top the mist cleared and you could see for miles. Loved the beautiful cows with their cowbells...and the donkeys! Lovely spot for a nice refreshing San Miguel. Your sense of fun and enthusiasm is contagious. A very enjoyable video - thank you! ❤❤
Aaww thanks ladies! Hope you are having a lovely weekend ❤️
Hey my good frine how are you today another great video beautiful place love thanks for sharing have a bless day and stay connected cheers
Thank you! You too! 👍
Absolutely brilliant ! You might have guessed I'd love this one, oh Wow ... I can't believe how many times I was saying wow all the way through. So nice to have a drive through Potes at the start, brought back some wonderful memories for me 😍 Like you, we were basking in beautiful sunshine at the bottom but hiding from hail stones at the top, though we were nowhere near as high as you. To see snow on mountain tops is like the icing on the cake ... literally haha Great idea to get the cable car up and so cheap ! No wonder it was packed ! You'd think some Spanish entrepreneur would be selling woolly jumpers & leggings at the top ! Albondigas looked yummy. But those views wow absolutely stunning and they just went on and on ... beautiful. Seemed like a good path too with lots of varied terrain. Loved the cow bells. Eagles ... fabulous oh and donkeys too. Haha brilliant to even get a gate of the week and,and a bridge twirl 😆 Fabulous day then to go back to such a wonderful Airbnb must have made it just perfect... Loved it .. can't wait to see the next one 😍🤗🤗 xx
Had a feeling you would like this one Christine lots more to come too! we had the best time can’t wait to go back hopefully September 👍❤️
What a stunning day one. That really was an amazing hike, views were stunning. wonderful to see 🙂
thank you Cara, we do love the Picos so much ♥️
Stunning view on the way up. The walking tour up in the mountains looks amazing.
It really was amazing! Thanks Thomas 👍❤️
Beautiful work guys, gondola looks really scary but views are simply out of this universe! Absolutely spectacular 👏👏
Such an amazing place Ervin, would love to see you in the Picos De Europa National Park 👍
This looks a fantastic hike 😊 loved it all the beautiful clouds, always like the bells the cows and donkeys have, fab bench with a drink and a view 😁😁. Loved el’ donkey 😊 those views are just endless there aren’t they. Bridge twirls and gate of the week! Fab video really enjoyed this one.
Aaaww thanks Yasmin! Hope you are having a lovely weekend 👍💛
Looks like a great hike up above the clouds. A bit chilly but at least walking fast will keep you warmer. I wasn't expecting to see a farm up there. 😮 Got to love Donkeys 🫏. That was a great landscape composition at 18.06, I hope you got a snap.
Cheers Andy 👍
Hello from Naples, Florida. That was awesome! Those donkeys were cute. Thanks for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great weekend 👍 💯 ❤
Donkeys are lovely! it was great being surrounded with so many different animals! Hope you are having a great weekend 👍
Morning Jill and Nick (Hatman/Sweet Cheeks)…. Now that’s an Air BnB with a view …. Marvin… a paranoid car ?? Good temperature for walking ..but not what you’d expect for Spain in June …Love a cable car ….Stunning views …..till the cloud level dropped … today’s Ads… loo roll…..hmmm 😮 ..nice link into the meat balls maybe ?? …Actually looked tasty. Life in Yorkshire prepares you for 2 degrees and snow in shorts … We never got used to that to honest. That’s a hell of a vista off that trail…. Loving this.. Just you two and the Cow bells ….And a place to buy beer … Did you for a moment think you’d gone to heaven ??..Mud ..mountains and a brilliant descent…. What a brilliant great value day exploring….Loved this so much and can’t wait for day 2 ..thx Guys
Hi guys Aawww Marvin the paranoid droid I forgot about him lol! thanks for another awesome comment Batman and sweet cheeks 🤣🤣
Hopefully Marvin had some smooth moves for you guys during the trip. The cable cars looked like a fun way to spend the afternoon, we hope Nick kept you warm Jilly. The views from up there are absolutely amazing! Picos de Europa are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this magical experience. Good food, great views, and a bit of adventure. Sometimes, that’s all you need. You’re braver than us for hiking in those conditions! It’s inspiring to see you push through the cold and enjoy every moment. We definitely didn't get school trips like that either! Save the Knees! Such a beautiful journey from the top to the bottom, watching the landscape completely change. Keep up the great work-you’re making these places come alive!
Aaaww you two are the best thanks guys! Yeah we were worried that it would be too hot visiting Spain mid June but it was unseasonably cooler for the time of year which suited us perfectly! It was a great holiday and we hope to return to Spain next year! Much love ❤️
Hi Nick and Jill love your cabin looks fabulous. The mist on the mountains looked beautiful although a bit nippy especially for shorts 🥶 . Great views from the cable car although I would have given it a miss . Great to get above the eagles Dave always gets misty eyed up the mountains as he used to enjoy skiing ⛷️. Great review of your chips and meatballs made us hungry . Amazing up the top love it ❤glad you found your gloves Jill. The sound of cowbells is so evocative. Cute donkeys 🫏 love them. Good you found that Spanish gate and a bridge perfect. Was lovely and green further down did look a bit like uk with that mud 😆 what a fantastic start to your trip. A very big 👍 from us. Hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Aaaww thanks guys for another great comment! My gloves were a good find as was the gate and bridge 🤣💃 hope you guys are having a great weekend ❤️
Hi Nick and Jill. Loved you accommodation, very cosy. Wow the cable up to the top was amazing. beautiful views but very high up. nice lunch right up in them clouds. stunning views. nice pub stop on your journey. Love the sound of the cow bells. a bit of a steep walk amongst the trees and mud oh no!! Lovely video, have a lovely weekend, take care xx Julie and Tony xx
Thanks so much guys! It was a lovely Airbnb! We love this part of Spain! Hope you are having a great weekend 👍❤️
Oo this all looks very interesting Nick and Jill what a lovely place 👍
It really is! cheers Glyn 👍❤️
Hi Nick and Jill
Hope you are both well
Air bnb looks great.
Free parking Yeah!!! 😊
It's summer, you have to wear shorts 😂 Morgs will be reminding me of this whilst we're on our Scottish roadtrip in August 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
WOW the cable car looks amazing
Loved your review of the food and the combo bite Jill 😂😂😂 Good price too
Think Nick needed his thermals bet you were glad you found your gloves Jill
How amazing you were above the clouds and snow on the the mountains
Loved hearing the cow bells 😊
Perfect song to sing Jill, more of it next time please
What a perfect spot for a beer 🍺
Yeah, gate of the week in Spain and bridge twirling 😊
£17.30 each for a great day out
Hope you enjoyed your tapas and drinks 🍸
Looking forward to the next video from your adventures in Spain 😊❤
Awww thanks guys yay I’m excited for another Scottish road trip for you 💃❤️ have a great week xx
Fabulous video. Have a Cerveza on us
🍺
Ah Watto and Kim, thank you so much, thats very kind xx
Nice looking free parking 👌 The cable car wow very high up Awesome views 👏 Nice looking food you had. Crazy how cold it got 6000 feet to be expected. Good hike up the mountain. So many nice views. 😂Dos San Miguel greatly deserved. Noisy bells 🔔 cute donkey 🫏 Good Spanish gate of the week 👍 Cool looking woodland on the way back down. Well done for doing it all . Good video, Generation Xplorers Generation Xperiences 👍 Hope, you both have a good weekend 👍
thanks Adzey, yes that 2C was a genuine surprise for Spain in June. I was expecting heat waves (glad we didn’t get one mind). wasn’t expecting to get use of my thermals on that trip! have an awesome weekend!
@GENerationXplorers You both, too 👍
Look forward to the cable cars, I'd be too nervous
they are fun but they don’t half cram a lot in each x
You opened up and closed in a beautiful AirBnB, Nick and Jill. Marvin too! Stunning views from the cable car. I'm happy for you that the fog seemed to disappear when you rode! Or at least moved over. Meatballs for two were priced right! Stunning views from your hike on top. Lovely blue legs too! 🤣🤣Glad it warmed up. Spanish Gate of the Week? Lovely to see Spanish Steps right after! But wait. Did you make in to Rome? Lovely tour.
🤣 Thanks Dave hope you and Kathy are having a good week sending much love ❤️
Jill, you are as crazy as Jojo in your shorts and its only 7ºc!
Awesome vies as you ascend and once you are at the top.
The meatballs....mouth watering.
Thank goodness you brought your thermals Nicholas. 2ºc eeek!
A great hike at the top.
Moooo 🐮Love the sounds of the bells. Taking me back whne we were on the Camino.
The rocky escarpment is amazing.
The sun was coming out, the views from the Refuggio looked amazing. I felt we were with you on this walk.
Aww Donkeys aren't they gorgeous.
What an amazing hike that was. I would have loved this hike, the scenery way amazing. Loved this adventure. Thank you for taking us along. Have a great day Nicholas and Jill.
Think we walked a lot of similar steps to you guys we were forever seeing the Camino sign! It was the best holiday! lots more to come 👍❤️
@@GENerationXplorers Yeah, look forward to your adventures.
Wowzers! That looks absolutely gorgeous. I love Spain and I am really looking forward to seeing all the hikes and other adventures from your trip. What beautiful scenery and such a mix of temperature on your hike. Glad to see Nick going with the old hiking trick of layering and Jill's gloves must have been a welcome find. Also what a stunning place to stop for a refreshing San Miguel. The footage was amazing as always and the video was really enjoyable from start to finish, thank you for taking us away on hols with you! x
Thanks Emily lots more to come from this amazing holiday we had the best time but it feels like a lifetime ago now 🤣❤️
Viva Los Rodillas!
🤣 hi Tony had to google translate that ‘long live the knees’ brilliant 👍❤️
@@GENerationXplorers I had a knee replacement this week and I'm hoping it will get me back on the fells in time.
@@tonycasey3183 oh hope that you mend quickly. I’m going to start taking a lot more care of them!
@@GENerationXplorers
Thank you for your great videos. At least I can get out and about vicariously with the pair of you.
That's amazing views for sure. But not sure if I should manage in just shorts! 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Seemed like it wasn't that expensive either totally, so totally worth it.
Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure Lovelies.
Have a fabulous Sunday 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
Thank you lovely lady 🖤🖤🖤🖤
i am so glad we are mates, nick and jill. your wonderful people.
Ditto! 😘❤️
Hello Nick and Jill 👋. That’s really stunning and beautiful journey 👍. Italy is my first country that I made more time and enjoy travelling. Thank you again for sharing the fantastic views. Have a great weekend 👍❤️🇩🇪.
Hi Kenn we have done Italy 🇮🇹 in the past but decided this year to go back to Spain 🇪🇸 and hope to return in September! Hope you are having a great weekend 👍
That's magnificent ❤ There's someting about Spain that intrigues me. I'd love to explore those lesser kniwn parts. Great video once again. Thank you 👍😃
Thanks! 😃 We love it Jaune hope to go back in September 👍❤️
Loving the video, loving this new series in Spain. What amazing views from your air bnb. Those mountains are something. Those clouds were something brewing hehe. Wow, low temperatures! so fun watching the cabler ride, so beautiful whatever angle. Ooo those meatballs looked yummy, great combo Jill! Ooo yes, Beer on the mountains, so epic. Loved seeing the range and the terrain too, loving the bells on the cows 🐄 and donkeys, bless them. Northern Spain is super picturesque. I agree Nick, world class views. Thank you both! Loving this series! xx
Aaww thanks Alessa our holiday videos never seem to do well it’s coming 10th at the moment so glad you enjoyed it lots more to come! Have a lovely weekend ❤️
@@GENerationXplorers well....I'm enjoying it!! boo to YT who don't know good content!
Oh wow 😮 That view on the cable car ride is amazing! It would seem a bit scary 😨 Good thing the clouds noved in so you could enjoy your neal without that distracting view 😅
Nick cracks me up, the legs will have to freeze 😂 The scenery on that hike is stupendous!! I seriously wish my knees worked like Jills. I was thinking of that song right before Jill starting singing it! That trail down just kept better and better 😊 Fantastic video! I loved it!! More cow bells please 🔔
Aaww thanks Princess! Nick does have very hardy legs, me not so much lol! Hope you are having a nice weekend ❤️
Hello guys. I enjoyed that great cable car ride up into the mountains. Such beautiful views. Amazing mountain, landscapes and cute animals. All the food looked delicious. Meatballs and French fries are a great combo.
Thanks so much Gasper hope you are well! Thanks for watching and commenting hope you are having a great weekend 👍
Hi Nick and Jill.
Happy Anniversary? Happy Birthday jill? Congratulations to you on surpassing 3KKKKKKK yayayaay!
Wow, Spain is on my bucket list. I am carefully watching..
wow deep fog the cable is running through quite fast. Brrrr Jill...do you need my leggins? hahah
haha what? meatballs and French Fries in Spain? haha I thought of Paella/rice dish 6:11 6:37
OMG, I am speechless...this hike is not only strenuous but those views are spectacular and memorable 15:10 wow are they wild horses??
Did you feel the air thin at any point?
Outstanding trekking!!! love it. Beautifully produced! I thank YOU. Look forward for more episodes from Spain.
You are very observant Ms Kayak we are usually away for our anniversary or my birthday but that’s September we are lucky enough this year to go away twice this one was just before Nick’s birthday we will be going back for our 10 year anniversary in September! You guys would love this area of Spain lots of kayaking opportunities too! Hope you are having a great week ❤️
Your base is on a beautiful place. Fantastic views from the cable car and from the mountain although there is a little fog. Great hike up the mountain 👏👏
Thanks Vedrana👍 looking forward to watching your sailing and hiking in Southern Croatia when we have some viewing time! have a lovely weekend ❤️
Meatball french fry, combo bite, you cannot beat that. But the beer halfway through that hike probably comes close. Pretty amazing, taking the cable car up and hiking back down. And meeting some donkey friends as well. Awesome.
Really decent food as well. I’ve kind of tarred Spain with a hearty food over quality brush in previous visits but on this occasion the quality matched the generous offering. I think those donkeys had been getting into some scrapes on that range. they have mastiffs to guard the cows on those ranges and I suspect the donkeys might have ventured too close to the cows and got into it with the mastiffs. that would explain some of the bites and injuries they had sustained. really friendly though!
Did you see Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton up there too?😀 Stunning.xxxx
Yeah they joined us for a San Miguel but asked not to be on camera 🤣 Thanks Rachel hope you are well 😘
What a spectacular place to take an adventure!! Gotta take these kinds of opportunities when one can!! What a view from your residence too!! I think I could wake up to that with no problem at all! Fantastic!!
Thanks Bruce it was a great holiday 👍❤️
Hi Nick and Jill, the views are amazing, so spectacular. The hiking looked so good. Loved this ❤️ have a wonderful weekend 🥰🥰
Thank you! You too! 🐈 🐈⬛❤️
Lol, I enjoyed meeting Marvin - he looks very reliable! The cable car ride looks like a fun way of getting up the mountain. Too bad it was a bit cloudy and cold up there but it gives some good incentive to hike fast. It's interesting how the weather can be so deceiving at the mountaintops. Loved hearing the cow bells - definitely nothing like that in the mountains in Canada! Looks like an amazing hike in the mountains. Have a great day you two!
Thanks Donna hope you are well and have a great week ahead 👍❤️
Oh that was so pretty at the top even if it was a bit nippy! Loved the cable car ride and that is such gorgeous area for hiking. Nice that you were able to find some St Miguel! The donkeys that you came across were so cute and friendly too. Absolutely loved that green valley that you found. That was beautiful! I hope you both had a great weekend! ~ Anita 😊👍
Thanks Anita 👍❤️
Thought out was a premiere 🙈
I’m watching anyway 😁👍❤️
thank you Phil 🙏
The place you started off from was already amazing with the view. Oh my I love the donkeys you encountered! ❤️. Stunning place guys. Hope you have an amazing time! 👍😊👍
Thanks so much Christine 😊 it was the best holiday! Hope you are having a nice weekend ❤️
You sure picked a good time to go.... less tourists and better temperatures ! Shorts Jill 😱! Love the cable car/gondola ride up. Almost Jet-lag material so fast 🤣! I tried counting the people in that cabin - looked more than 20 to me. That would freak me out. Shame about the clouds- nice thought, it was blue behind the thick white blanket 🤣! Perfect attire 👌 - and I am sure you didn't notice the cold. Save your breath Nick...the walk will warm you up. Loving the area, the cow bells, the snow peaks and the green grass. Oh to be 45 again..the knees I mean🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! I was hoping there would be a gate 🤣! Take the stage Jill, you deserve to be in the limelight. Absolutely stunning. Wow. How long did the walk take by the way- just curious? Happy Sunday. 👌🩷🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Thanks lovely lady the walk took us about 3 and a half hours! hope you are having a lovely break 😘❤️
good evening nick and jill. jill gets prettier and prettier each time i see her. you are one lucky bloke nick. have a good weekend mates.
Aaww Kris you are too kind 🥰 hope you are having a great weekend! Sending much love to you across the pond! Jxx ❤️
WOWOW What stunning views just from that lovely place you're staying at, if you took me along I would have been happy if you left me behind I would have gladly cooked some tapas for you😉...love Mrv...Jill😃 and how can you go wrong with free parking🤑 That cable car did look a bit crowded! Well I have this much to say those 9 miles you took down were filled with livestock😁 and Nick made a new friend with an ass 😂😂 I love it! Gorgeousness everywhere I looked...outstanding video...I think you've rubbed off on my Jill, I do prefer chips with my meatballs instead of spaghetti, what would my family think...any good Italian woman liking FF with her meatballs is unheard of🤣 Love you guys, you've made the start of my weekend bearable !🥰😘 Hugs from Hollywood!🤩😘
Aaww Donna you are lovely! Thanks for your amazing comment! It was the best holiday, lots more to come! Much love to you across the pond to Hollywood ❤️👍
Northern Spain looks so beautiful! What a lovely AirBNB you had with the most incredible views, wow. 2 or 3 degrees at the top and with shorts lol! You two are brave. The cable cars up the mountain look so fun and STUNNING views, wow. Mmm those fries look good Jill! Great combo bite! Nice hike up!! Above the clouds - so amazing!! A beer at 5000 feet, I love it. What a perfect place for a drink at the picnic table. Cool to see the eagle. Aweee I love the donkeys. So friendly and sweet. Nice it got a bit warmer, 9 degrees is better than 2 degrees lol! Another amazing adventure you guys :)
Thanks so much Meg & Greg! We had the best time! lots more to come from this trip 👍❤️ have a great weekend xx
@@GENerationXplorers thank you!! Same to you both! 😊💕💕
What a stunning place guys! The views are insane. Marvin is a great little car (apart from his steering wheels on the wrong side!!). Cool we love a cable car trip. Wow that view, so glad the cloud lifted for you. Well a bit anyway. Meatballs and chips - amazing! Good job on racing last the school kids!! It's a stunning walk. Love the cowbells! Wills would love to record those. Dos San Miguel! Excellent! Those donkeys are cute!!! What an amazing days were gutted we couldn't come out and visit!!! We can see why you love it though. 🍻
thanks guys 🙏 you would love it there, so much variety from Cities to coastlines to hidden gems. Marvin was a beauty, we were the first people to ever drive him! he had features like “steering assist” and “auto park” but we were too scared to use any of that. his constant beeping when speed limits change or when your close to anything got a little annoying by the end of the holiday! Almost gave myself a heart attack running past those school groups. not only were we out of practice ascending anything other than a staircase we were running up gulping in freezing cold air! Hope you guys have an awesome weekend 🍻
Loved the teleferico! Not sure about meatballs and chips, good hearty mountain food though! Jill's voiceover sold them to me! Super value for money! Awesome seeing the snow and hearing the cowbells and mooo! I was wondering when Sounds of the Music would get belted out! Sheer verticality! Just over £17 each, superb. What a great view there, can you see why you want to move there!
I still have firmly in my memory the time I went to a “posh” Spanish restaurant and spent good money on canned pork balls. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of beef on those balls, first time fried those chips too so a win, win. The sauce was definitely homemade too! Really missing Spain, we’ll be going back in a couple of months but any research into planning to retire there just gets worse and worse. Even non EU places like Switzerland you can’t stamp out of Europe into and then sneak back in. The penalties for spending more than 90 days in any 180 are super severe. Hopefully things will change if Spain can fight the European Courts but things look grim atm.
@GENerationXplorers canned pork balls 😆 hey, you could always become an illegal immigrant 😅
What a fabulous Air BNB location. Glad the clouds cleared for you. Nice to see you were properly prepared for the drop in temperature at altitude. (Apart from the gloves) 😂 It can catch a lot of people out! You deserved that San Miguel! Beautiful video. 😀👍
Aaww thanks guys hope you and Giles are well Lisa and having a great weekend 👍❤️
this started out my sunday morning just fabulously and well, filled with envy. 🤣 marvin was seemed to be an excellent steed for your adventures. the cable cars look awesome. mr sl isn't a fan of heights or elevation for that matter, so things i probably won't do unless i ditch him for the ride. i'm a fan of albondigas. running from school children above the clouds and fancy free (and maybe a little chilly jilly)! salut! those donkeys def looked rabid, good thing you cleaned up. 😂clearly i had fun on this day with you two. big hugs! 🛴❤
Aawww thanks Anne ❤️😘
We visited there afew years ago, but caught the chair lift both ways, not as fit as you! The accommodation looks lovely & fantastic scenery 👍
Hello there! Love your channel name and picture! Aaww it’s really nice to hear from someone who has also done it! It’s a beautiful area isn’t? Hope you have had a lovely weekend and have a smashing week ahead 👍❤️
Those views were out of this world😳 I don’t think I would ride that gondola though, but it looked lovely in the valley! No matter where ya go there is always gate if the week. Yep those fries looked good and I’m about to hit up KFC for some😂
Hi LB 🙋🏻♀️ oh no have you fallen off the Keto wagon?? You can’t be having fries from KFC (although we did for Nick’s birthday (as you know from IG)) We loved it when we found a gate as you don’t see many abroad, it won’t be the last Spanish one 😉 We absolutely love this picturesque area of Spain and hope to return in September! Lots more to come from this holiday between Nick playing Mr Politics 🤣🤣 have a great week ❤️
What an amazing place to stay, it must have been awesome to wake up to these views every day. The cable car up and a hike down sounded a dam fine idea to me but wow dam chilly too. Looking at those views I think I would have preferred a much slower ride and I bet those meatballs and chips went down well mind - that combo bite looked amazing. The value of the trip and food was really good but the star of the show were those views - astonishing! I take tablets for my knees every day religiously and (tough wood) have no trouble at all but 3 years ago I could not walk a mile on flat ground, without having to come back home in agony with knee pain. I did a video on the tablets which I had just stated taking (and still do) - check it out :o). What a place to have Dos San Miguel and take about a bench with view - wow! You must have felt back home in the muddy section but loved the wildflower meadows and if Carlsberg made brilliant days out - that must have been one of the best of them! Cheers Alan
Gosh Alan, will check that video out. we do overuse our knees a lot on our work too as well as on the hikes that we do, a tablet might be the answer. its mostly descents that I suffer with and the poles certainly help with that and as a last resort I will strap them up. Certainly didn’t tire of those views from the terrace, if i could up sticks and move I 1000% would do it tomorrow.
So stunning and amazingly cheap, never thought that the temperature ever got that low in Spain. Also hello Marvin.
🤣 we always have to name our car I know we didn’t think so especially in June 🥶 it did get much warmer though it’s so fast lit different due to the mountains! hope you guys are having a great weekend 👍
Hey Nic & Jill. Just thought I'd catch up on some of your uploads as we have been kinda absent for a few weeks from the YT platform. I have been to Spain many times but never in this region. The gondola ride to the top was great with great views❤. The hike was awesome, albeit a bit chilly by the looks😅... great stuff guys. Loved it.
Hi there Laurie & Karen it really is a great region and we highly recommend it if you are ever back that way 🇪🇸 Lovely having you back hope all is well ❤️
I love that you named your rental car! hahahaha
Marvin was a real gent although his constant beeping at every speed limit change or proximity warning got a little tired by the end of the week.
@@GENerationXplorers OK then, I guess you won't be purchasing him when you move to Spain! Lol
This Shengen rule post Brexit is an absolute nightmare for us. Can’t even stamp out into Switzerland and step back in by car. We really are not allowed to spend more than 90 days in 180 n Europe. I’m not giving up yet and hoping for change but at some point we will turn our attention to Canada..
@@GENerationXplorers we need to discuss that when we get together this week! With global warming, Ian thinks Canada is a great idea 👍
Plus they have bears! Win win
Your accommodation in Spain looks gorgeous. What an atmospheric cable car ride and rather chilly because of all the naughty clouds. You got such a stunning view and a great position in the cable car. A lovely meal with a fantastic view. Good job you're not afraid of heights. I had jelly legs when I did something similar in the Dolomites! The walk you took at the top flooded very pleasant and very beautiful. Poor scabby donkeys lol.
Hi Nettie 🤭 yes Nick made sure he was well positioned for filming whereas I was like a sardine in the middle but to be fair where ever you were there was smashing views! Felt great until I looked up when almost at the top and noticed a set of ladders attached to the ceiling 😳 gave me a little tummy flutter 🤣 Have a lovely weekend ❤️
@@GENerationXplorers OMG it would unsettle me too!
Stunning views on your hike, and nice to see contrasting landscapes. Although not sure about the 14 degrees in June, those are mid winter temperatures for me in Australia so that's why I escape to Europe!
Hi there the weather is so varied amongst the mountains the next day was 25 degrees! Thanks for another great comment! 👍❤️
I'm impressed you rode the tram! I thought you were afraid of them?
just the ones that are like buckets, although you are right the horror stories around cable cars always stick in your mind. that would be a truly horrible way to die!
That was a stunning walk. I really dig on the Spanish prices. Everything, including beer, was so cheap. Unlike at the highest restaurant in Australia. The Eagles Nest at Mt Kosciusko (1937 mt, 6360 ft) where the meatballs are 34 bucks and the beers 11 or 12 bucks. Yep, Spain wins on price. I didn't realise that part of Spain was so mountainous. We sort of drove around it on our way from Bilbao to Salamanca then Portugal, and a lot of the drive was near dark in the middle of winter so we couldn't see shit. Will definitely have to put it on the itinerary the next time we're in Spain... If you can prise me from a pintxos bar in San Sebastian. 😂
Excellent video Gen Xers!!!!
ps that cable car ride looked terrifying
Hi Shane yes we too adore the prices in Spain 🇪🇸 and it’s a fabulous area! What a shame you missed seeing the Picos de Europa when you last drove through! We highly recommend them! jeez that mountain place does sound expensive! Hope all is well with all the Nixon family ❤️
@@GENerationXplorers We are all good thanks. I complain about the prices here all the time but to be fair they're probably similar to the UK. We hardly ever go out any more... save more money for travel that way. 😁
Well that was brilliant 😍
The scenery was just incredible. Personally I think I’d have done the route in reverse if that was possible? My problem is I have dodgy knees and coming down always seems harder.
How long was the total walk, in time?
Super cheap. Would have been 4x more expensive if you were in the Austrian alps 😳
2° In shorts Jill 💪🏼😂
We have done that route before and Jill was keen to do it in reverse, we both suffer with our knees on the descent! Think it was our eagerness to get to the cafe at the top that made us repeat in the same direction. took us about four and a half hours to get back down but we did spend quite a while in the refugio and then we stopped in silence for a good long time in the wooded section in the hope of hearing or seeing you know what! yes Austria can be a bit pricier but I’d say still way cheaper than the UK! don’t think we were envisioning 2C in Spain in June, im glad we packed all the thermals and layers, wasn’t expecting to use them!
i was thinking you should make a video, where you explore lochess.
We have explored Lochness when we first met almost 20 years ago! It’s a long way from where we live would take about 10 hours to get there (takes us less than that to get to Spain surprisingly) but maybe one day we will return! will try and dig out some pics from our lochness trip to send you 👍❤️
Awww I love well we love your videos do you have a fund thing or how do you send money to support you guys I mean anything helps towards drinks meals etc to show are appreciation ❤
Awww hi there Julie what a lovely comment you telling us you like are channel is credit enough thank you! ❤️ have a lovely week ahead 👍
Great Video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Need to go to Panama and climb montaña Baru..3,474 metres (11,398 ft) 😅😂
Sounds great! 👍❤️
Maybe you didn't hike with bears, but you got to hike with cows ;-)
there are supposed to be 350 in that very area. I can now say that whilst I’ve never seen one there, I have heard one on two different occasions!
@@GENerationXplorers i'm hoping you get your bear sighting one day!🐻
@MagentaOtterTravels after seeing them in 2019 I think I’ve had a camera strapped to my hand ready to film at any given second for every moment of every holiday since. Other than a lot of distant growls they have never shown themselves again!
@@GENerationXplorers yes, I can relate to this!
Think they are camera shy!
Nick's clothes always match because they are all black!
Ive got a funny sketch that starts next weeks video about just that! 😂

Hola Senor Brilltastic ❤️
It's 7 degrees and you're wearing shorts?! When you are going up a steep ascent?! You are mad!
Anything over about 3C is short weather for me. it did get a little chillier on this day than that. Jill did well though, she is more likely to not wear shorts till 10C.
@@GENerationXplorers it's gotta be about 30°C for me to wear shorts!
