you are in Santander region. Great area.

We found nice room in Altea

That Santander beach looks more inviting than the crowded hot med beaches 😉

I've always been welcomed in Spain, my brother who lives there and speaks not a word of the language is accepted, no sign of intolerance at all,

In Malta we have the same problem with the small island of Comino. It'a total take over by tourists and tourist providers. Us locals can't even go anymore

Santander. I love it. Beach was almost empty, great food in the city

It's joke, right?

Hungry is worth a visit. Landlords and bar owners make money from tourists. Sounds like the locals are not being paid much and are paying high rents. Let them pay the staff proper wages

Hi stu I don’t understand why Spanish are moning about English but I don’t think they are I am Scottish Irish with a e u passport so I can’t go to Spain without paying my way I spend my money on food drink and healthcare watt more do the Spanish want but they are stuck with it so the sunshine belongs to everyone so get on with it for the people who are moning cheers Al

I love living here in Salamanca !

Quite a number of new hotels being built along the CDS so more accommodation will be available in 2025. Further, prices will rise with demand so GDP will not be impacted negatively. The tourism industry is not standing still and I’m sure they have forward plans for the next 10-years.

Slept right through the livestream today (hard life, eh?)… Love these updates and the viewer posts; always interesting. You’re so grounded Stuart (very refreshing). Looks like you’re feeling better too. Awesome.

There’s no overpopulation. Take a flight and look at all the empty space. It’s that humans like to go to all the same hotspots and KZbinrs, Instagrammers heighten that. No one wants to go to the middle of nowhere with nothing and no one.

Hotel Silken-Rio Santander. That's the hotel you're staying at there in Sant... FYI - Not bad geolocating for someone who's never been to Santander. I'm a master at using Google Earth. 👍😁

Hi Stu. I think the saying is never talk about “politics, religion, and sex”. The world would fall silent! 😂. The other day you mentioned the Spanish prime minister gets a salary of around €97000 (@ A$157000) - he should aim for the same job here as our PM gets @ €363000, two houses, pays for nothing himself! And a number of senior public servants get paid nearly double that of the PM.

I'm Swiss and lived in Madrid for 20 years. I met some very nice spanish people here but to be honest i've never felt comfortable 100% with Madrileños, maybe too rude for me. The way they talk, conversation etc.. I've found their mentality too stretchy. I feel much better with foreign people here in Madrid or spanish that has traveled, lived in other countries. I've found the video very interesting , thank you !

Plenty of building going on my here southern spain

Continuing to like the content Stu - your consistency in putting out content each week is appreciated.

We have Britt's here. Even though we kicked them out of most of North America ca 1776. Sad fellow indeed.

Santander? Is that where the ferry comes in? I've heard good things about it.

Difficult to negotiate everyone's opinions but my opinion is that you're doing a great job. Keep it up, Stu!

People can be such snowflakes. You don't like what a KZbinr is talking about or isn't 'upbeat' enough for you, then go watch some cartoons. Or go watch someone else, there are plenty of content here on KZbin to choose from. He is just reading the news, the news alone no matter where you are from can be depressing and never upbeat enough LOL.

"people keep on having kids" yet almost if not all developed western societies and many more are below replacement levels 🤔

Thanks Stuart

San Diego remains cool but at least we have seen the sun a bit lately. Santander looks lovely.

I’m guessing Santander?😊 Love the Ocean🌊🐠🐙🐡

Happy Father's Day 👍✨️🙏

😊

Happy father's Day!!!

Are you in Valencia?

Gday stu are you in Santander?? Enjoyed the food review yesterday made me hungry.

But looksyummy

Looks like enough for two that rice, too much for me

Bloody Hell!! There's more box than rice!!! It looks very dry to me. Not much value to be honest.

Spain is cleaner than the UK and the roads are much better than all the dangerous potholes in uk, the trains are cheaper cleaner and reliable as are the buses. Mostly Clean table cloths in bars and restaurants. Not a dirty table that you have to ask to be cleaned in many Uk bars etc. It’s Britain that is the rip off not Spain.

The best rice dish I’ve had is a lamb biryani, way more flavour than any Spanish rice dish (paella included) and far better value for money! Your pool looks inviting! 😀

Congratulations to the Logrono couple who have found a way to make it work in Spain. That said - don't forget that the teaching salary was $750 a month which is not nearly enough to make a living even in one of the cheaper areas of the country. Still hearing stories of people caught out by the high cost of living, dismal job market and extremely low salaries offered. Be forewarned: if you're coming, do so with a lot of money saved, reliable pension income or be a digital nomad. Otherwise the Spanish dream could turn into a nightmare.

Great review Stu, the meal looks absolutely delicious, hope you get better soon, Muchas Gracias

Looks good but the one place they are not is the centre!! Haha...if you know of anywhere that does an amazing Sunday Lunch, please let us know!! I think that's what i miss the most - i know you can eat it on the coast and maybe some irish bars here do it? ..but not sure of any are good though? Thanks!

Hi looks delicious the whole meal my mouth is watering x

Damn, Stuie, you didn’t save me some arroz, lol

Glad I live in the south. 20€ for that. Madrid is expensive. Looked good but wow huge price.

As someone who lives in the (probably) most expensive country in the OECD at the moment. For those 20 Euros - You would certainly get much more food with much more meat and larger servings

learning from spanian i see. you should open a food truck to sell pies and hotdogs.

Wow

Thanks for sharing , great channel

I move to Spain 🇪🇸 because of your videos and regrets at all

More culinary vids pofa

There is nothing disgusting about moths

Stu it looks good but hey that's a little expensive you should try the fresh dishes from Mercadona's hot and cold deli counter or the buckets of chicken or ribs with their paella! Spot on even though you have to heat or cook it! Just proves you can eat well for a not lot of money! We were in Fuerteventura a month ago it has got really expensive to eat out every night so tried lots different take away option on alternate nights! ♥️👍
