I dont get it lol, im 37 and wine tastes like crap.🤔, how do adults drink that stuff? Beer tastes like sh*t too. Maybe you have to develop the taste for it?, well i never did i guess, didnt even drink when i was younger, didnt even start tho cuz it tasted terrible.

[@nordicson2835]

Very cool place , the property is amazing, l am surprised that no one tried to develope it . Thanks for braving the cobwebs.

[@annie_xo]

@@PopCultureFan_ definitely an acquired taste, I never liked wine until I made an effort to learn how to drink it. There are so many different kinds of wine, I learned that I like crisp, fresh white wines that aren’t overly sweet. Still don’t like heavier red wines. It’s also a completely different thing when you drink it as part of a meal, it can really complement the taste of the food if you get the right wine. Beer I hate though.

[@loditx7706]

@@PopCultureFan_ I agree, except to me it tastes like vinegar. The only one worth drinking is Asti Spumante. Very sweet.

[@andreasickels9736]

Fun fact of the day: Those “webs” are actually called soot tags or soot webs! Carbon and tar (aka soot) are released in a fire and can sometimes bond together to form these chains or threads as the particles move to cooler areas away from the source of ignition. They look like spiderwebs and most people assume it’s webs covered in soot, but they are completely fire-made! PS: spectacular video (as always) and I’ve been a huge fan of this channel for years! Keep up the awesome work guys!

[@ZachariaZuehlke]

@@Jocelyn2017 check their other videos of nonamerican explorations. You'll see that it doesn't matter where you go, vandalism will persist

[@everyhumandies]

@@jwalster9412 the lack of vandalism won't last. Why? Because these goons, and several other prominent exploring pages, OUT them to the world and invite idiots, who then vandalize them. Just happened with a palace they posted about. Was pristine, but they told the world how and where to find it. Then, another goon who also outs places goes on his page, and guess what? It's been tagged now. Been a fan of exploring abandoned places for a long time. Ha e seen plenty of them myself. But these days, with these pages on YT with tons of subscribers, there is a total lack of respect for them. "Hey everyone! Here is EXACTLY where this amazing spot is! Have at it!" That is the reckless attitude I see on them, and of course, the tagging, vandalizing fools all seem to follow. Kinds immature and selfish, if you ask me. But thats what it is now, I guess. They've never replied to my comments, either. Guess it doesn't matter to them. Wacth though, as all these places slowly( or quickly) get trashed because of their lack of discretion.

[@everyhumandies]

@@Jocelyn2017 the palace they just explored and OUTED in Portugal is now tagged. Their open disclosure of abandoned historical places with so many subscribers is totally irresponsible and stupid.

[@sacboy9]

On the calendar at 8:50 it says July 4th was on a Thursday which gives us a couple of years to choose from. It also has February 29th on there so it should be from a leap year, meaning it's from either 1968 or 1974. With that being said, 1996 also had July 4th on a Thursday and the prison closed in '97 so my money is on 1996.

[@skgsergio]

And the year seems to end in 6 so I guess you are right.

[@JoeBartlett]

1996 was my conclusion as well. It fits the timeline and matches up with the ISO-8601 formatted calendar here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year_starting_on_Monday#:~:text=The%20most%20recent%20year%20of,in%20the%20obsolete%20Julian%20calendar

[@iagocity]

As a local it's really cool to see urbex KZbinrs showing the interior of the prison. It's sad to see that abandoned prison when walking through the promenade. Back in the days there used to be always a security guard on the door but I haven't seen it in the last years. There's a project to convert the prison into a social, cultural and educational building called Proxecto Cárcere (Project Prison) but so far after 10 years they haven't done much progress. Also, there is an abandoned tram depot 500 meters away from the prison that is worth visiting but I guess it's already too late.

[@HarmonyOmega]

You bringing up that project reminded me of this other similar thing i saw years ago, a prison that was abandoned and there was some kind of tour set up, and at least one video made of someone trying to go into closed off areas.. is there a relation somewhere?

[@JamesMcGillJr]

​@@HarmonyOmega a similar thing has been done with the Modelo prison in Barcelona, which is a cultural center now

[@kevinharte3636]

I like how it seemed pretty peaceful and nice outside the prison. With all of the seagull sounds, grass, sea, etc. But once you go in just a bit things seem to get dark and scary kind of fast.

[@Igflaza]

Today i have to say thank you guys!! A Coruña it´s the city were i study and i´ve lived there for 4 years,everytime i walk to the "Torre de Hercules" i wondered how the interior of the prison would look like,because the exterior it´s super cool,and the views are stunning!!! Near there i´ve explored a modernist house known as "Casa Bailly" or "El Grajal" expropriated during the Franco era and used as a military school and its basement as a prison for the opposing side, its inscriptions can still be read on the walls today. In my town we have a whole circus and a surrounding city founded by a priest and orphan kids, "El circo/ciudad de los muchachos" This circus toured the world, they even performed at Madison Square Garden! and became very famous in the 60s and 70s,the history itself it´s amazing!

[@offshack]

This prison is almost identical in size, shape, form, and layout as the waterfront Kingston Penitentiary here in Ontario - It was built in the early 1830s, updated in the 1850s and then used continuously as a maximum security until 2013. It's been available for TV/movie filming and guided tours since then - it's the filming location for the TV show The Mayor Of Kingstown.

[@XagentofthebatX]

[@DisabledCursedPrince]

Being someone who knows the feeling of being caged in- especially in an urban environment- it sure does hit me differently, especially when looking out of the widows. I wonder how many people, no matter the story, surely some innocent, have looked through those very same dotted grates at the lighthouse, freedom and society so close, but yet- just out of reach. How many tears were shed in silence on those concrete chairs. The anguish and thirst for something beyond this. I don't know the whole history but I also know there are innocents caught up in prison. I don't speak from prison experience, I speak from a lock-down orphanage experience. It's where my agoraphobia began. Every day feeling the same on the same 3000sqft stretch of the upper-level of an inconspicuous place somewhere in Ohio. My eyes felt half-open as every day I would retort the same- "Today I feel fine." Play their game. So you can leave. Once in a great while the kids with me would have a chance to escorted to a garage-type place under part of the building's architecture. They called it "The Cage" because there was an opening to outside air, however it was covered floor to ceiling overhang with hexagonal gate. I didn't even want to go down there, it only reminded me even more of the isolation. Snowfall would be so beautiful- but never within reach. It was painful. Those small city lights, unsure how far away, they were painful to look at, at night, whilst the younger kids in the orphanage cried for their mothers. Ha oops, too deep. But it's what videos like this remind me of. The people who were really there, experiencing it.

[@bradleyard4195]

I've never had the displeasure of experiencing such a thing, but it still hits me hard. It's sad, depressing even, that such a place can exist in our society. "All that we can do is just survive, all that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive"...
