Just came back from Lisbon/Madrid/Barcelona/Venice/Rome trip, watched lots of your videos, very helpful, thank you. I pre-booked all the hotels, planes, trains and some major places: such as Sagrada familiar, Park Guell, bacillica in Venice and Vatican museum etc.. I walked a lot in every city, over 10 km easily everyday. The day we went to Park Guell, all the tickets were sold out, it is a park ! I love Madrid and Barcelona, so beautiful and very clean, will definitely go back in the future. i was very worried about pick pocketing, actually it is quite safe if you keep your things in front of you.. I went out every night, stayed at Atocha and Catalunya, very convenient. We also use many times of taxi in Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, all the Taxi drivers were good, I think transportation and food are much cheaper there. I think everybody should go to see Sangrada Familiar once in her/his life time.

[@V-gata80]

The high speed train from Madrid to Barcelona is much smoother and faster than the one from Venice to Rome, and I booked comfort seats, the service were wonderful. And you can book extra seat online at Ryanair too, that was great! yesterday I went to Belem by subway and tram 15, I was terrible on direction, when I asked an old gentleman on the train at Baixa-Chiado station if the train goes to Rossio, he literally pushed me off the train, and told me to get off there for a transfer, so like an idiot, i got off and went up and of course, ended catching the next metro, :) it was almost 11:30am and I needed to check out at 12:30pm.. I am sure he had a wonderful story to tell all his pal that how he fooled a silly lady.🤣🤣.. anyway, I did enjoy every city during our visit, because I walked lots of places that probably many tourists did not go. it was safe, and the food, delicious !

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Many thanks for sharing so many experiences from your recent trip. We hope overall you had a superb time. All the best!

[@barbara88-]

We also got back from our trip to Barcelona followed by a cruise. Your videos of Barcelona helped us prepare for our trip and made it a much more enjoyable trip! We felt more comfortable having you indoctrinate us to Barcelona so we were more relaxed and could enjoy the experience more! I appreciated you answering any question I had. Poblenou was such a nice area and the Metro was a great advantage to getting us around. We did end up purchasing the Barcelona Card that came with the Hola card and it was nice knowing we had both when we needed them. We did not end of using all of your info, but that will be used on our next trip! Thank you Tony!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Delighted to hear we were of help, Barbara! See you next time in Spain or Portugal!

Saludos Tony, This is it! Next week I will be venturing to 'Barcelona' and then onwards to: Madrid, Malaga, Sevilla....' Much respect for your videos. It is fun, pleasant and great for research. Your advice and "Insider tips" on where to stay, eat, dine are spot on when it comes to assisting this frugal, misadventurer. Again, your time and effort on your splendid channel deserves high praise, amigo.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hola Andres, many thanks for your kind words, hope you'll have a splendid time in Spain!

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

Thank you, Tony, for all your travel advice. My trip to Madrid went well because of your advice. I just got back a week ago. I hope to finally travel to Barcelona and Girona in the future.

My trip to Europe was a success, thank you for your in-depth videos that helped me tremendously! I would love to return to Spain again, but I have plans to check out Greece. Is there a particular KZbinr that you would suggest? Once again, thank you! Especially that Montserrat video, brilliant! 🙌🥳

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, delighted to hear you had a great time in Spain! We are not familiar with Greece KZbinrs, unfortunately we won't be able to help in that regard. All the best!

[@marlenekock9086]

Hey Tony. We just returned from Barcelona & Lisbon. Had a great time and want to return again. We found Portugal a bit cheaper than Barcelona. Thank you for all your helpful videos. Your public transportation is excellent!!!!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thanks, Marlene, great to hear you had a great time. The quality of our public transport systems is quite good indeed. Hope to see you back soon!

[@mohammedshahjehan9135]

Thanks again for such an informative video, tony. We plan on visiting in the start of june. I wanted to ask if Ripollet or Castelldefels are good areas to live in to travel in and out of the city. And if one is better than the other. TIA

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, both are far from Barcelona but we feel Castelldefels is a much better alternative. All the best!

[@kvncrw]

Thanks!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Very kind of you!

[@alanwheeler3696]

I agree MNAC was great and I’m not generally a fan of art, happy to see but small doses. We were lucky to arrive on a Saturday and went straight there from arriving at hotel for free entrance which is astonishing

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Glad you liked MNAC, we keep going back again and again.

[@Olderkiwitravellers]

Hi, thanks for your great videos - really helpful! Do you have any advice around the best time to visit the Sagrada La Familia to avoid the biggest crowds, also are their any tips on getting discounts for entry to it? Thanks.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

It is truly difficult to avoid the crowds in Barcelona, but try the very first time of the day, when you will not find so many visitors inside the temple. There are no discounts for the Sagrada Familia, but make sure you watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqanaH-Bic6joqM

[@Olderkiwitravellers]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thanks for your reply.

[@gnm800]

Tony, Thank you for the tips about not eating on La Rambla or in the Mercat de la Boqueria. The food in these places is really much more expensive. Just one or two blocks off La Rambla, you can easily find much better food at half the price, except Passeig de Gracia, which can be very expensive too. I had a 36-euro seafood paella at La Taperia in the EL NACIONAL on Passeig de Gracia.😂😛

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Wow, 36€ is so expensive! El Nacional is a place to be seen, not to be eaten at. There are good eateries in the Passeig de Gràcia region, but not on the main avenue. At least we hope you liked it.

[@nancyparra5319]

Thank you Tony for all the wonderful tips! One thing I am nervous about as a Mexican-American is being looked down on for my heritage- I keep hearing horror stories of Latinos being treated poorly. Any words of advice?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Nancy, I wouldn't worry much about it, Spain is quite diverse and receives tourists from across the globe. Treat people gently.

[@mimikrya8794]

Where is the cat sculpture seen at the end of the video? Is it Botero or someone else? I just discovered your interesting and useful channel.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

It is the Gato de Botero, located here maps.app.goo.gl/YdcW5MsdcuPpWVJ6A Be very welcome to the channel!

[@hikarinodensetsu7772]

Hello, Thank you for offering such practical and exhaustive-like videos :) Regarding the Sagrada Familia various people can't follow your advice of buying the ticket on the official website as it is unfortunately not secured enough.. Yes, it doesn't accept dual authentication required by more and more banks to limit the fraud..

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi and thank you for your words. The problem is rather the opposite, the Sagrada Familia site uses 2FA and an extra security protocol common in Europe called "3-D Secure". Non-compliant foreign credit cards are blocked.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Tip: try using the Sagrada Familia app to purchase the tickets.

[@hikarinodensetsu7772]

Holà, Thank you for your feedback It took 5 days to find a solution so all timeslots were booked before a solution was found. I travel a little bit everywhere in the world, never had this issue before.. Anyway, thanks to you

[@soniecita1000]

Hello. What is the building show at 12:01 of the video ? Gracias.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

It's the Ajuntament de Barcelona, Barcelona City Hall. Wonderful building.

[@ayf449]

Good day sir, I'll be visiting Barcelona at the end of December, and I was hoping to visit the Tibidabo amusement Park and museum. Can you please suggest the best way of transports to get to the park and back from as well as any tips and suggestions you have. My hotel will be along the passeig de gràcia area. Thank you very much in advance

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi, we haven't got a video on the park yet but check the park's calendar, as it doesn't open from Monday to Sunday: tibidabo.cat/en/plan-the-visit/schedules Here's how you get to the park: tibidabo.cat/en/plan-your-visit/how-to-get-here/public-transport All the best!

[@amalhussein2088]

Love your videos, would you recommend a hotel where I can take the euro bus from toe hotel

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, any hotel around Plaza de Catalunya will do. We are unable to give blank hotel recommendations, but you will find some recommendations on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoLWnp2Jn5iei7c

[@Ted_K_Have_a_nice_day]

Thank you for your videos. They are very informative. I am going to be in Barcelona for 4 days in Feb. I am wondering if you have seen something called a Barcelona Essentials card. I see this come up when I do google searches but I do not know if this is a legitimate card or some sort of scam. I believe that the Barcelona card that you have spoken about is from the official tourist offices. Thank you for your time.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, we had a quick Look at the card and when you add the value of what the card includes, you quickly realize it is not a good deal. It is not a scam, but you'll overpay for the tickets. We have actually spoken against the Barcelona Card, as we don't think it is a good deal. The one we recommend is the Modernista Card: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epWsaaRoet2YftE

[@Subic77-79]

Tony hello I see you mentioned hotel Praktik here. I am going to Barcelona end on November and going to Generator Hotel that you mentioned in one of your other videos. Should I change it to praktik hotel for better stay? I think both are in good area. Gracias

The hotel choice is a very personal decision. Here we talk about Praktik Garden: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJCbpqekqdWfn5I
