Great video. Gracias. Madrid has been my home for almost 30 years now. I started a new life here in 1992 leaving my old baggage ridden life in the states behind for what turned out to be one of, if not the, best decisions I've ever made in my lifetime. I found culture, I found incredible gastronomy and I found love both for the country and for my media naranja. What more could you ask for? Madrid is a wonderful city and keeps getting better and better, politics aside. People often make the mistake of comparing Madrid to other great cities like Barcelona, Paris, Rome etc and that is just plain wrong. Madrid's nightlife is tremendous but aside from "la marcha" there are so many others things to do like visit one of the over 40 museums the city has to offer.

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

[@Gjhdu]

I think the main reason why Madrid is undervalued is because from Catalonia, the Catalan separatists (politicians and citizens) have spent years denigrating the capital (Madrid). And another reason I think is because it doesn't have a beach compared to Barcelona. So many tourists prefer to travel to Barcelona instead of Madrid. Regards

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

We arent sure of the political side of things but definitely the beach has something to do with it. Most people like to go on holiday to a beach.

For youth, Madrid night is known for parties and meet new people. Madrid has also economic attraction for companies, thats why is the richest region. Not to forget, the principal institutions of the country. But Madrid is not only Spain. Each regions has own culture and gastronomy. My region is known because of its Special status inside Spain. The landscape is fulled of valleys, mountains and north beaches. Flamenco, is andalusian dance, so if you see in Madrid is because andalusian migrants. There are different dances km each region. The "toros" of bullfigthing is not fully defended for spaniards is controversial, its an ideological discussion between youth and older people. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX_MXnV4rtdoa8k This is URL about my region.

[@marekck]

No solo medio EEUU fueron de España, prácticamente todo excepto las 13 colonias y de aquella manera, porque los españoles llegaron hasta Alaska y Canadá donde aún quedan muchos pueblos con nombre español. El Danés Bering al frente de una expedición rusa, ingreso en Alaska buscando pieles de nutria, que abundaban y eran un buen negocio en aquella época, a pesar de la muerte de Bering el descubrimiento de gran valor comercial en pieles, lleva a muchos rusos a organizar expediciones. La corona rusa ante la gran cantidad de rusos que viajaban a Alaska envía misioneros, y las expediciones acabaron con los indígenas de la zona incluso con otras expediciones durante 30 años para establecerse finalmente. Esclavizaban a los indígenas y los usaban para que cazaran para ellos. Cuando España se entera de la situación y las intenciones de Rusia, envía expediciones para explorar y cartografiar Alaska, de paso buscar a los rusos. Ante la pasividad de los ingleses o cobardía. Al final España para evitar el avance ruso, controla el territorio militarmente frente a los rusos para que no les quedara duda de la autoridad. Con los fuertes españoles que se levantan y la continua presencia de buques de guerra, se detiene la expansión rusa que abandonan Alaska a finales del siglo 18. España se retira de Alaska ya existiendo EEUU, pero gracias a que frenó la expansión rusa, cambio el destino del país.

Honestly, I don't think there's much to learn about bullfighting. It's just a fancy way to torture animals. I'm surprised you guys don't show disgust when visiting this place which, in my opinion, is shaming. If I didn't understand that just for being Spanish it doesn't mean I have something to do with this tradition, I'd be ashamed of it. For the rest, very nice and beautiful video. I agree; Madrid is underrated. I'm from Barcelona and, albeit different, I don't think Madrid has nothing to envy Barcelona, except, perhaps, the access to the sea.

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

Yes Madrid is beautiful 😍 As for the bullfighting, our opinion as tourists is just that, and opinion. It is not our place to show disgust to a tradition that we know nothing of. Many cultures around the world have crazy and often disgusting traditions. But we are here to learn and explore and gain a better understanding of the world.

[@rogerjimenez2782]

That's a great attitude, I believe. But in my opinion there should be some exceptions and this one, together with going to a stoning in certain countries, to a public execution or others should clearly be the exceptions. At least to not promote them. Not just to try to change anything. Thank you for your time to answer.

Well, bulls are animals and we can't know for a fact how they really feel. I once read that the level of stress and suffering of a bull in the arena is some ten times fewer than the one of a dog while a firework spectacle is taking place. According to this, maybe we should be ashamed of _Las Fallas_ some ten times more? Difficult to gage, don't you think?

[@rogerjimenez2782]

@@robert111k First you say we can't know how they feel and then that according to what you once read somewhere, the dogs feel in a certain way. Isn't that incoherent? And the difference in those two escenarios is that one of them seeks to torture and kill an animal just for fun and the other is a side effect of a festivity. Is as if you were to call "children assassins" to those who drive a car for the children died for a cancer. We can't control everything. However I'm not a fan of fireworks and one of the reason of it is precisely that one (although I personally consider is not an strong enough reason to ban them). A part on that, I don't know where you read that but: 1.- You are accepting with that bulls must suffer (unnecessarily). 2.- Yes, they are animals, just like us (not plants, fungus or algaes) so it's reasonable to expect them to be sensitive to pain and suffering. All in all, what make humans "especial" is basically the intelligence; not the sensitivity; the nerve system. 3.- Considering the previous one, it's reasonable to be prudent and, in front of the doubt, act as if they were able to suffer (just as when I interact with a person who I don't know: that person may have a disease that makes them insensitive, but common sense and statistics make me think that very likely that's not the case).

Haahhaahaha no, we don’t eat chocolate and churros for breakfast! 😅

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

Oh really, what do you eat?

[@alvaroalvarezcerbero8085]

No lo hará Vd. En mi casa se ha desayunado chocolate con churros toda la vida, la mía, la de mis padres y la de mis abuelos, etc.

Madrid underrated? Puff nooooo, Madrid is a the best capital in Europe, have a amaizing culture, incredible gastronomy, big trasnport, is historic and modern, is rich, is security.

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

Exactly what we highlighted in our video. We agree

[@TheJournal-y6h]

un detalle importante para vuestra información, a los españoles, la inmensa mayoria no nos gusta el Flamenco. Aparte que no representa a todo el pais. Es cultura de nuestro pais SI, pero no mayoritaria.

[@amanda71817_]

Pues a mi si me gusta , aunque es algo mas bien típico de Andalucía

[@philsmith1216]

El flamenco gusta en toda España. Como gusta en todo el mundo. Qué no le guste a Usted no quiere decir que no le guste a la mayoría. Es posible que usted viva en una de esas Comunidades que solo les gusta lo suyo. Pero aún dentro de ellas, hay muchos a quienes les gusta.

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

We agree :)

@@TheJournal-y6h En España a una mayoría le gusta el flamenco, o sus derivados. Hay excepciones a la norma, como es tu caso. Digas tú lo que digas. Y las salas están llenas de españoles, franceses, alemanes o japoneses. Que en todos los países hay gente a la que le gusta. El jajajajaj ese que sueltas es el recurso o la risa fácil que suelen utilizar las personas cuando no tienen argumentos.

No, no, noooo Spain flamenco is the gitano

[@chelow.]

De dónde sacas eso, el flamenco no es gitano, el flamenco es del sur de España. Si fuera gitano, todos los gitanos del mundo cantarían flamenco y no es así

So sad that 1 of the 3 things that 1st come to your mind about Spain is bullfighting 😢Many Spaniards wish this brutal tradition to be banned. I am glad that some regions such as Catalonia (Barcelona) have banned it already.

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

We didn't realise the extent of how brutal it was before going here. I think the image around it is slowly changing.

[@ManuelPerez-dg4mu]

Many people also associate Spain only with flamenco dancers and don't know that in northwestern Spain in the autonomous regions of Galicia and Asturias the culture is quite different with Celtic influences such as the use of bagpipes and dances more akin to lrish ones.

[@robert111k]

Yesterdey a guy died in a "bous al carrer" celebration (a savage Catalan custom that allows normal people to marthyrize bulls with neither rules nor limitations). Maybe they should ban it as well.

Madrid no está infravalorado, al revés... Es una ciudad sobrevalorada, igual que Sevilla.
