let's go to madrid | thrift heaven, yummy food & beautiful sights

[@birtahlin]

Hi everyone❤ I’ve been thinking about the current format of my travel videos and I would love your honest thoughts. Do you prefer my current style with more recommendations and tips (tour guide vibes), or would you enjoy a more relaxed, unplanned type of video? Let me know what you think, your feedback means a lot to me✨

[@jasminembenitez]

I love your recommendations! It makes the video so personal ❤

[@VickyAdelia-bs2yu]

@@jasminembenitez I agree. Love to hear your personal take on the places you visit, Birta! But yes, if you have some unplanned/relaxed trips I think I'd enjoy those as well.

[@poppycalliope]

Love the videos just the way they are, with all the recs and everything ❤

[@SiboraHoxha-v5u]

We love the actual vlog style so much but it would be interesting if you try as much ways as possible☺️❤️

[@tatiane_cordeiro]

Sure thing ! I personally love the current format of your travel videos

[@lidiamelero4091]

Please, for any person reading this who's thinking about visiting Spain, consider staying at hotels when you come here, temporary rentals for tourists (mainly through airbnb) has led to horrible gentrification. There's a huge huge problem with the affordability of housing for younger people due to the increase in the price caused by that

[@carimariecolon]

Totalmente de acuerdo tía!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@vanillasweetcream]

sadly this is a problem so many places in the US as well 🥹

[@Paaaa32]

No te preocupes que ya los vecinos a partir de ahora pueden decidir si pueden haber Airbnb o pisos turísticos en sus edificios así que pronto se acaba eso y te digo que arriba de mi piso hay un Airbnb para 8 personas y los que llegan borrachos haciendo ruido gritando son los mismos españoles que es lo más fuerte 😅

[@ClaraMR]

I completely disagree with you. If it weren’t because of airbnb, I would not be able to travel alone or with my family. It’s not about airbnb, it’s about considering to build enough houses for everyone and hosting respectful people. Hotels are so expensive and if we continue protecting just hotels, tourism will be only for rich people who can afford Hotel prices. Stop sending this message and try to understand that the only thing you can do it’s to ask for more dwellings.

[@lidiamelero4091]

@@ClaraMR That is a really selfish thing to say...It is becoming imposible for locals to afford to rent a flat (even the shittiest ones are so expensive), so in this case only rich people can have a decent place to live. If that means tourists have to spend a bit more in order for us to improve our situation...Travelling is a privilege, decent housing is a right and a NECESSITY. People with your mindset are turning touristy spots into theme parks.

[@chloe-th4fo]

i LOVE the way helgi looks at you every time. And your english is sooo understandable. As a turkish i can understand all. Love from Türkiye💗

[@birtahlin]

omg love this!❤️

[@meonessa-c9f]

I agree with you from Tokyo🗼😊

I love your comments on the dog culture of a city! Also, all the cute shots of dogs make my heart happy

[@birtahlin]

dogs are just the cutest!!🥹💞

[@reloaded17]

Was in Madrid last September and it completely enchanted us. We are actually doing another Spain tour in a couple weeks and we are definitely stopping by Madrid again. You're right, Barcelona is also beautiful but there is something Madrid. Cozy, warm ,beautiful and like I said we were enchanted and cant wait to be back

[@birtahlin]

yes!!!❤️

[@JJJJ-km104]

Everything is so much cheaper in Spain as our salaries are too! Spain is passing through a difficult situation when it comes to wealth, salaries, politics, etcetera. Talking a Spanish person myself

[@barbarabc24]

exactly. this video is like watching gentrification work in real time.

[@romaboutilier8462]

To be young and travel the world and find good thrifty. I really enjoy your videos. And what a sweet and loving couple you two are. Enjoying life!!! ❤

I’m one of your followers from China, and I really love your videos and your lifestyle. The way you frame your videos is stunning, and the music you choose fits perfectly, giving me such a relaxing feeling. Your English expression and the speed at which you speak are also excellent, which makes it easy for me to watch your videos smoothly. The places you visit make me want to travel to them just like you. I hope you continue sharing your travels and your life. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful experience.❤🥰

I absolutely loved this from beginning to end. As you know already I am a huge fan of your vlogs. In my opinion I would continue with your format on the travel videos as they are so interesting and informative. When I travel to any of these cities I would rewatch your videos for all the fantastic inspiration they provide every time. Good thrift options are a welcome bonus and you two are pros at sourcing the gems!! Thanks. ❤😊

[@KatjaHartmann-d3p]

thanks birta for your videos from europe and the world. the madrid video gives me a good overview of the city as i will be visiting madrid in november. your city itineraries are similar in content, giving structure to what you like and what you recommend. i am missing a bit more of the art aspect, which is included in the madrid video. I would also be interested in how you get around by public transport and how you manage hotels, flights, do you get good prices or how do you coordinate your budget in advance - what do we want to spend - the topic of european cities and travel budgets. i think it's wonderful that you include the everyday life part as far as possible, such as supermarkets, manicures or other services.

[@davidrm110]

I think I’ve found my fav vlogger ❤ Good editing, cool recommendations and such amazing vibes. You two are gorgeous, and now I’ve got much work to do catching up😅

[@lisasummers1564]

Hi from NYC! So glad you loved Madrid, it’s the best! I’ve been traveling there since a teenager and enjoy it much more than Barcelona, which everyone always goes to 1st. Madrid has the food, the energy, and the Madrilanos are so friendly. Definitely a city to live full time. PS: who is taking care of Matilda?

[@Archedly]

Omg just what i needed, I’m planning to visit Madrid next summer❤

[@birtahlin]

[@carimariecolon]

I can’t believe you were in my city!!!! I am so happy you enjoyed your visit and honestly you were staying in the best part of the city in my opinion. Madrid is truly the best! Madrid over Barna any dayyyyyy 😂 Side note: the thrifting and supermarkets are so cheap bc we have lower wages here, hence the prices.

[@nataliabednarek1139]

In polish cities there is also big culture around dogs and people often go with them to cafes, restaurants, shopping malls because there is an overall permission in locals to eat together with your part of the family and no one is suprised. So lately when I was in Cph I was quite shocked how few people have dogs

[@birtahlin]

awww love that, dogs should be allowed anywhere with their owners in my opinion haha!❤️

[@AnnmarieWilliams-hf2yf]

Love those red earrings and The sweater dress fits you like a glove.

[@birtahlin]

If you liked the story in Just for the Summer, I recommend checking out the two previous books the this series - all three were amazing and the whole story comes together so nicely!

3 stars Hotels in Madrid are wonderful, clean, etc… In Retiro Park there is “La estatua del Ángel Caído” which means “The fallen Angel” and is the only statue about the Devil ever created in Europe at least. Thank you for your kind words about my city.

[@erenoverseas]

Wow Birta, I’ve discovered your channel from your Istanbul vlog with a great coincidence and later on in my Madrid trip I’ve organized the trip thinking how Birta&Helge would organize their trip to Madrid. And guess what, I’ve been to the Acid Coffee, the thrifts you went to etc. I think I was successful to put myself in your shoes :) so much love from Istanbul

Next time walk the "Calle Serrano" from "Plaza de República Argentina" (Plaza de los Delfines) until "Park of Retiro". Is a long and elegant street, a wide street, several km long (Like Velázquez street, its paralell), but once you cross María de Molina street starts the Fashion boutiques.

[@birtahlin]

[@anagriffithsromano2758]

Please realize how privileged you are when you say that everything is "very cheap". For those of us who live in Spain, food costs us three times as much as it did a few years ago and it is impossible for us to live alone, much less consider the idea of buying a house. Try to make a responsible tourism, do not stay in Airbnb.
