Thank you immensely for the wonderful video about traveling to Madrid! ❤Your detailed tips are perfect for newcomers like me who want to plan their itinerary carefully. After Barcelona I'm going to take the train to Madrid, my friend said it only takes about two and a half hours and it's very convenient. And she also taught me how to buy cheap tickets! I can't wait for my exciting trip to Spain after my final exam!

[@EatSeeRV]

Have a blast! We took the train from Madrid to the south then to Barcelona. We LOVE traveling by train there.

[@clownster456]

Very good video visiting next week for 3 and a half days

[@EatSeeRV]

Enjoy!

[@MattJWoz]

I really enjoyed this video and, having visited the city quite a few times as well, I think you hit on a lot of the best things to see and do and your presentation was engaging too! Even though I've seen these sites before, I still loved watching and it made me that much more excited for my next trip back to Spain! Thanks for the video! The one thing I'd push back on a bit is the comment on the metro, though. I find it to be very well connected with many stations which are right outside or a very short walk away from lots of points of interest and, in my opinion, the metro in Madrid is better connected than the one in Barcelona. Of course, I recognize each person's experience may be different, and it depends where you want to go, but for anyone watching that might be researching a visit to Madrid, I'd consider the metro as an amazing way to get around in general. In less than 15 minutes on line 2, you can get from Retiro station to Noviciado station without a transfer, then walk to Templo de Debod in about 10 minutes, passing through the Plaza de España, which is worth a visit, on the way. Otherwise, I agree with everything else you said in the video! Thanks for sharing your experience with the amazing city of Madrid with the world!

[@EatSeeRV]

That's wonderful. Totally get everyone has different opinions about the metro. I think it didn't help that several of the lines were under renovation during that time, so it was less connected than normal.

[@eugenioolazabal1867]

Outstanding hallmarks in your video. Even "madrileños" like this one. Contact the Tourism Board in all cities and "regiones autónomas". You should be paid for creating these types of content. Excellent job. Even liked the outtakes at the very end.

[@EatSeeRV]

Very kind to say this. Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it!

[@suewellings4500]

You guys just made us want to jump on a plane to Madrid! It looked so warm there and the food and culture in that city is amazing. When was it filmed? We’d like to visit Spain this winter to escape the Canadian winters. Can you recommend? Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦😊

[@EatSeeRV]

Wohoo so fun! Madrid is chilly in winter. Nothing like Canada haha but it snowed several feet last year. Spring (April and May) and fall (September and October) are the best months to visit for sure. Do not go in summer (especially August)! We were there mid Sept. And the weather was PERFECT

[@suewellings4500]

Too bad 😢 Maybe we’ll manage a trip in April/May as you suggest. All I need now is your perfect grasp of the Spanish language. Gracias amigos!🥰

[@silentgnome]

@@suewellings4500 the holy week celebrations in Madrid are breautiful and a good way to learn about spanish traditions.

[@carlosruiz7104]

@@EatSeeRV hola. Todo el mes de diciembre y hasta el 5 de enero (día de la cabalgata de Reyes Magos), es temporada alta también en la ciudad. Es cierto que el clima en esas fechas suele ser frío y algo lluvioso, pero la ciudad está preciosa. Me alegro que te gustase mi ciudad. Saludos!

[@lamahachem5952]

Hello! Not sure if I missed it or if you did not include it but what is the name of the first stop on the tapas crawl where you had the croquetas ? Thanks in advance and thank you for the informative video!

[@EatSeeRV]

Called Cava Baja is the main street we referenced for the tapa crawl. We didn't share the name of the first spot. We honestly don't remember what it was (and the food was just okay).

[@richmck007]

Love Madrid. We live in the South and whenever we can, we take the Ave ( fast train ) and visit. I would not say it is as intense and NY Times Square as you can escape the main streets by navigating the back streets. Always something to discover in Madrid. Avoid the tourist traps like the San Miguel food and drink market. Overpriced! There are many more… Visit Toledo, Segovia, EL Escorial, la Granja all within a day’s trip outside of Madrid. Loved the video.

[@EatSeeRV]

Thank you! We love Madrid too

[@topside3935]

5:12 correction. The largest in western Europe, the iberian peninsula (Spain & Portugal) is in the most western part of Europe.

I’ll be there in 3 weeks with my daughter, I can’t wait. Where can I access the little map of Madrid that you use in the video, looks super helpful, thanks

[@EatSeeRV]

We found that online. We have an itinerary guide that is helpful too eatseerv.com/3-days-in-madrid/

[@christopherpaul7588]

San Miguel is the oldest market in Madrid! It's great but so busy always.

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes it is and a beautiful building, but the food inside isn't necessarily the best. It's also more expensive.

[@christopherpaul7588]

@@EatSeeRV I guess it depends what you get. There is a stand of homemade croquetas that are amazing. I've also had amazing Mexican food there. Also yeah the food might be more expensive but I also got a nice glass of wine for 3 euros there once.

[@RR-dl8lw]

You come to spain to have Spanish food. Makes a lot of sense. However, if you want 2 try sth different, the dim sum market has home made dim sums. Even one filled with rabo de toro. And near plaza de chueca you can have waffles in the shape of ..... a man's thing😂

[@EatSeeRV]

Haha we know! Our friends told us about Chuecha. Going next time. We also had dumplings there like every day. Just didn't share it here. Your food scene is unreal!

Any recommendations for meatless tapas?

[@EatSeeRV]

Patatas bravas, croquettes that aren't jamon (many will be cheese or a veggie), tortilla de patatas, queso manchego, pimento de pardon. Stuffed peppers (many will have fish so clarify before ordering). You can read more of what to eat here eatseerv.com/what-to-eat-in-spain/

[@joseluisluque449]

Quedarte en tu país, por ejemplo

[@jeanettevillanueva6010]

Was it hard to order or was it hard to read the menu?

[@EatSeeRV]

I know Spanish so no. Most places in Madrid will have English speaking servers but I'd practice basic food ordering skills before going just in case!

[@chafic1999]

Whats the name of the first tapas restaurant 17:49 ?

I have the same question, I looked at the guide and the one it may be, based on description, is Juana La Loca. Doesn’t look like it but don’t know what else it could be. @eatseerv can you chime in, where are you at 17:59?

Langostine is not crawfish. That’s like saying lobster is shrimp

What would it best translate to? They told us it was a river fish and for our translation that's closest to crawfish.

Langoustine is not Crayfish. Different crustaceans from different environments. Langoustine are much closer to lobster.

No sé si te he ententido que el metro de Madrid no es mejor conectado en comparación con el de Barcelona. No solo no es verdad si no que es todo lo contrario. El Metro de Madrid es de los mejores del mundo y por supuesto mejor que el de Barcelona.

[@MattJWoz]

Totalmente de acuerdo. La red de Madrid, en mi opinión, es más fácil de usar y entender, los billetes son más baratos y multipersonales así con un billete de 10 viajes viaja todo el grupo, tiene más estaciones, y las estaciones están justo al lado de la mayoría de los puntos de interés. Vine a los comentarios precisamente para ver si fuera el único con esta opinión.Jaja
