I recommend you in Almeria to go to "El quiosco de ciudad jardín", and "la Barraquilla de El Alquian". And if you go back to Valencia, make a round of "all i pebres" in "El Palmar" island, perhaps the island with more restaurants per inhabitant and per square feet. It is a dish that can be eaten in tapa, but it will disappear soon because ales are disappearing. Last but not least, go to the "feria del tomate del Perelló" any year. I think it is the best tomato all over the world, and you can eat it only there and nearby, and only in summer, and there is also special "Feria" tomato dishes, and not only salads, from restaurants in the zone.

Thank you for the tips!@@mitcoes

I write this comment because this morning a VERY annoying person has been sending me messages on WhatsApp asking me to enter the video and like it, promising me money if I did it, obviously I'll send it to hell. Most of the likes and subscribers are fake. I'm also Spanish (SI SOY ESPAÑOS ESCRIVO ESTO PARA QUE VEAN QUE SE ESCRIVIR EN ESPAÑOL Y SE DE LO QUE HABLO JUSTO HAORA) everything in the video is a lie. Congratulations, you have my dislike and reported to KZbin for spam and attempted scam.

We visited Bilbao and San Sebastián for the 1st time in Nov 2023 … the food was amazing as expected ... we getting too old for bar hopping Basque life … sometimes we just want a sit down quiet dinner 😅

[@spainrevealed]

haha

[@jeffyeah4256]

what your favorite place to live in Spain?@@spainrevealed

[@javierbusto1964]

How easy was it to visit San Sebastián from Bilbao? My son is flying into Bilbao from Madrid..but is thinking about spending a night in San Sebastián. Can he do a day trip from Bilbao if he takes the train or should he spend a night?

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Takes about a 1hr+ by express bus so doing a day trip is possible…if there are a few restaurants you want to try than spend a night there

[@AdventureElliot]

I’ve walked sections of the senda litoral and while it’s great for catching a sunset or sunrises, you still have to deal with lots of interference in terms of infrastructure. Coincidentally, there is a Camino de Santiago from Malaga heading north called the Camino mozárabe for those who want to actually get into the true Malaga and Andalusian countryside. Great video like always.

[@mizginavale22]

The production of this video was outstanding!!! A full visual menu along with a very interesting and informative narrative. Taking turns between you to narrate (with a different background each time) was also good on the senses, as it kept you alert and attentive to the information provided. Personally, I would also like to go to Jerez. The Flamenco museum also peaked my interest. Thanks for another awesome video and wishing you all a Feliz Año.

[@spainrevealed]

Thank you Gina!

[@Odaikansama]

Me as a Spaniard living overseas about to move back in May watching what I can expect.

[@WalkingSpain]

Great recommendations! Northern Spain is always a fantastic choice to visit and of course Spain is full of beautiful villages that are well worth visiting such as La Alberca, Trujillo, Altea, Puebla de Sanabria and many more. Greetings and thanks for the video!! Enjoy this 2024!!

[@ElenaGreenMom2023]

Just returned from our first trip to Spain-thank you for your GREAT video introductions and suggestions! We went to Burgos in north central Spain expecially to see the Museum of Human Evolution (because of the ancient human remains in Atapuerca) and we were blown away-by that museum, the city museum, the Cathedral, just everything! Even Gaia a vegetarian restaurant across the plaza from our hotel Meson del Cid. The whole trip focused on antiquities and we were not disappointed-Madrid, Huelva, Sevilla, Barcelona, Segovia in ten days (not nearly enough). Rode trains mainly, had a home base in Madrid, ate great food,hot chestnuts on the Rambla in Barcelona- amazin trip. I need about 4 more trips with different themes! SPAIN IS AWESOME!

[@lindav9046]

Hi Elena, I plan on traveling to Spain in October and I was thinking of Barcelona and Madrid, but would you recommend any other place? Those are just a place that pop up, but I know there’s tons of beautiful places to go to.

[@marrlena947]

Don't miss the beautiful and ancient town of Seron in Almeria Province about a one hour drive up the spectacular Andalusian mountains from Almeria city. The vistas are stunning and Seron is where the famous Serrano ham originated and still made today. There's a huge ham festival in the summer. It's a white town of silver cobblestone streets. Truly a Spanish treasure.

[@spainrevealed]

Thank you for the tip!`

My son and I did the Camino del Norte last summer, the north of Spain is just gorgeous.

[@ShelleyLevy-rm2kf]

Thankyou! I'm from Sydney and just spent six weeks in Spain in 2023 and it was wonderful - I still can't stop obsessing about it. I've already started a new list of places to visit "next time". (Although a 350 euro dinner might not be an option!!) I was lucky enough to visit some spots in the Spanish Pyrenees and would highly recommend it! So beautiful - you'll love it. Love watching your videos! Hasta pronto!

[@rlopez9044]

Thank you guys, great video. I went to Pontevedra when doing el Camino a Santiago, beautiful small town a surprise actually, I keep telling everybody that Pontevedra is the cleanest town / city javelin ever seen in my life.

[@isobelmatheson8036]

I've driven across The Pyrenees many times over the years. Mind blowing. There's some great camp sites, some very basic but in spectacular settings. You'll have a great time.

[@almatelleria8871]

Thank you for reigniting our Spain travel excitement! We can't wait to some several of the places you talked about!

[@anthonyreibel5882]

This is great stuff. We love your channel. We are going to Spain in 2025 and are thinking that the fast trains are the way to go for us. Coming from Australia, a little nervous about driving. So more train destinations please.

[@atamo4323]

My friend is going to Las Fallas this year with 80 yo parents with mobility issues. Also Barcelona, Madrid and London on the same trip. Wish them much luck. Happy safe travel.

[@windsongdesigns6655]

I just discovered your channel and now I am re doing my itinerary for my trip to Spain. Your video on the fast trains in Spain was very informative for me. Going to be watching all your videos. Cheers from Canada.

[@spainrevealed]

Welcome to the community!

[@carmenfernandez5234]

Thanks, James and Yoly. A wonderfully presented guideline for Spain in 2024. Jerez, Almeria and the Pyrenees all sound like great places to explore. I traveled through Jerez and Almeria on a road trip years ago and thought they were stunning.

[@spainrevealed]

Thank you Carmen. That sounds like an awesome road trip!

[@eliseumds]

Northern Spain is a must whenever I’m in the country. So easy to reach by train as well, it just makes sense.

[@veronicaivanova]

I wish Northern Spain was warmer! We actually had our last 2023 and first 2024 trip in Spain. It was also our babymoon. It was amazing seeing a bit more of Andalucía. We stayed in Málaga and did day trips to Benalmádena and Granada. I simply love Spain ❤

[@Juanfernandez-sm8jl]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍Thanks a lot I´m from Malaga!!

[@natrg7205]

Oh I would love to go to Spain. My grandmother’s parents are from Spain. They came to Ellis Island in New York and moved to Texas. My grandmother was born after arriving in Texas. I wish I could go to Spain it would be awesome to visit where my grandparents are from. I also wish I was rich and my grandma still alive I’d take my family. Whoever visits Spain please enjoy your trip for my family and I 😊😉 btw @spainrevealed I love your video ❤ thank you thank you 🙏 I get to experience Spain through you 😊

Oh, Yoli! The expressiveness of your hands/fingers when you introduced the "flamenco" section of the video! While I love certain forms of dance, I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about flamenco. But ... O.M.G.!

[@PeteRansom]

I'm spending 6 days in Granada for Easter and really looking forward not just to the parades but also to visiting the rural areas surrounding Granada. I'm then heading to Jerez and Cadiz for 3 days. The Flamenco museum will be on my list!

[@user-vv4hg7me1q]

You'll love it. I have fallen in love with it ,too. It has "duende"

[@carmenkernan4477]

This was your best video yet! Especially since I’m from Jerez and you’re focusing on my hometown. This year we’ll be traveling from Texas 🤠, to Madrid, Valencia, Murcia and Jerez to see the fam!

[@petrsztemon9967]

Thank you for your video...we already explored Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona and Seville, next stop in two weeks is Valencia...hopefully we will get to explore north as well as there is so many amazing places to see in Spain.

Hope you and Yoly will visit Majorca or any of the other Balearic Islands. Would love to see a more in depth look, James Blick style!!

Going back this summer to do the first 120kms of the Camino Francés! Did the last 120 & loved it. Will be my 6th trip to Spain, & will follow 3 weeks of school in Marbella to write my DELE B1 exam!

[@goldsilvertravel]

Northern Spain is often forgotten about and a lovely place. Of course, the weather isn't always great but there are many sights to see and it's less crowded. A more authentic experience too. I really like Fabada.

[@ayongkot]

I'm walking the Camino Primitivo this year, which will start in Oviedo. Last year I talked the Invierno starting at Ponferrada, and it's a beautiful city.

[@davidclarke7728]

We are traversing the Pyrenees from Bilbao to Begur on the costa Brava staying here for a week via Ainsa and then back via Leila and Navara before travelling back to England via Bordeaux and Saumur in the Loire region, a three week journey in June, can’t wait

Asturias is wonderful, as you say :)

[@welcome_Moscow_walks]

[@carmenfernandez5234]

If you visit Jaen around May, you might want to take a side trip to Cordoba for their annual "Fiesta de Los Patio." Cordoba's famously beautiful, private home courtyards are open to the public. This year the event occurs May 2-12. I've never been there around that time, but I do find Cordoba and Granada to be the most alluring areas of Spain. (My ancestry for generations is in Galicia, but I'm more drawn to southern Spain.)

[@ryanb.4816]

A BIG thing to potentially address. Traveling to Barcelona in March. MOST US credit cards will not work right now to book the Sagrada Familia because of the new EU requirement for two factor autentication for credit cards. Something most US credit cards do not have. The reservations are being declined for US customers. This could be a BIG problem. Anything you can suggest? The Sagrada Familia staff is not the most responsive.

[@walterramirez3287]

I'm going to my friend's wedding in May, in Almeria where she grew up. Flying from Aus and listening to you guys first ❤

[@fredcookerly9385]

My bucket list would be to drive along the Pyrenees as well, but I will be hitting the various Paradores that are up there along with Besalú, Castellfollit de la Roca, Bagergue, Andorra la Vella, Benasque, Torla-Ordesa, Aínsa, Ansó, and Canfranc. Second choice would be Lanzarote. Albarracín would probably be my third. Weekend trips for us will be Zamora, León, Valencia, and Alicante. So much to see and love in Spain!

[@spainrevealed]

Great idea! Maybe I'll manage to squeeze a Parador into the trip!

[@annivali4356]

Can anyone suggest any really good flamenco shows in or aroun Málaga? I'm going to Spain on Monday with my family. So excited. It's one of my favourite places to be. We're going to Málaga this time because it's warm there. We have snow and very low temperatures here where we live.

[@Nine49_49]

Great....now I have to add the Malaga coastal path to the 100 destinations I already have on the Spanish bucket list!

[@AlyAlyAlyAlyAly]

I'm most excited this year to be learning Spanish, I hope to go there again next year. I visited last year in my van (no aircon) but I arrived during the heatwave and had to stay in Northern Spain 😂 Which I loved! I'm excited to come back in 2025!

[@lynnearnshaw4346]

My heart will always be in Cadiz ❤️

[@mad2barxhst]

Lots of beautiful places to see in Spain. I like that high speed rail is available in many parts of Spain as well as throughout Europe. I also like the fact that there are plans to phaseout short haul airline flights and instead make use of more environmentally friendly high speed rail. I only hope a similar move be made here in the USA.

[@jal051]

I find funny when people recommend Oviedo as summer holiday destination. Oviedo is a city that shines in winter and is boring in summer. During the summer even the smallest coast towns are more alive than Oviedo. After all, that's where the ovetenses are too.

[@amirsafayan]

Gracias, gracias gracias! Had a wonderful trip in early December to your magnificent country. Madrid, Grenada, Valencia and Barcelona. Your Madrid guide was invaluable! Fast train from Madrid to Grenada was very pleasant and comfortable. In Madrid, we found a casual tapas bar called Casa De Comidas D Diego. We sat in an outdoor vestibule and my wife ordered a beer and I ordered white wine and the waitress delivered what was obviously not white wine. Because of your videos, I recognized it was a “vermouth” ! Instead of returning it, I tried it and it was great! It had a lemon twist and paired so well with the plate of olives. Already planning a return trip and will definitely travel off season to Asturias!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

[@user-xx6ud8iq7g]

The Senda Litoral is a great walk- or run, when I’m there I run on it every morning. The views are stunning x

[@spainrevealed]

I can't wait to check it out

[@user-xx6ud8iq7g]

I recommend going to to la Cala de Mijas and go to Kiosko Torreón la Cala and then walk down to Mijas Costa and get food at Chiringuito El Juncal ❤️👌🏼 if you have it in you keep walking to Cabopino - it’s a busy beach not my fave, very touristy, but fun to hire a boat there and the route behind it towards Marbella is on the Senda Litoral through and the woodland and dunes with a view of the sea. It’s beautiful.

[@marisv2]

Excited about the new Flamenco museum in Jerez. Would to visit on my next trip to Spain and also explore Malaga plus more! Thanks for your video!

[@robertmeredith906]

We went to the western town thing when we visited Almeria (stayed in Roquetas del Mar). Nice day out and we were surprised by the saloon act singing an Aussie favourite ... "Waltzing Matilda". Once again I have bookmarked several things for our next visit. Thanks again for all your great videos.

A tip for your visit to Jerez… Bodega de Diego -Vino Aldiso. My husband and I discovered his quaint , local (not touristy) bodega rich with history first in 2016 and make the 2 hour beautiful drive from our home just for his sherry and brandy every year and sometimes more 😉 The best I have ever tasted anywhere in Spain. He does wonderful tastings and worth a visit.

Nice video and videography (a little different from past efforts, but it works.) I dislike the camper vans too - but I am interested in your trip to the Pyrenees mountains. We did a tour from Barcelona up to Ax-les Thermes and Andorra a number of years ago in December and it was quite lovely. If possible, visit both France and Andorra when you do that trip (though Andorra seems more like an outlet shopping mall experience.)
