😠Look. This whole video is just to attach a link to the purchase of properties. Do you understand that the Spanish people in this area are asking their governments to legislate this kind of "false tourism" that acts more like an invader? Why does a "tourist" need to buy a property in Spain? We Spaniards need a law to prevent this, because one of the consequences of this is the use of our public systems without you paying taxes.😠 Why is it that if I go to a store in a tourist area in my country, it turns out that the clerk and the owner are German or English and they don't speak Spanish? WHY?!!!! It's my country, not yours.

[@Winston-Schmidt]

Estos son el tipo de personas que bajo la pretendida apariencia de dar a descubrir la vida en España y de buen rollo llevan tiempo mercantilizando vivir en España. Eso si, al mejor coste claro... Me pregunto en que momento sacarán tajada.

[@8werty8]

Now i have seen what you publicise ; spain property buiying and renting just promoting the upscale of housing prices and the anihilation of whats left of this country and destroying the few opportunities of young people in this country to live in a decent way, shame on you.

This is amazing. I'm from Argentina, my daughter and her family are living in Andalucía, Spain. The food is wonderful, it's fresh and healthy food, with natural aditives. The sun, the kindness of people and the excellent food worth the visit and I spend as much time as possible there. I believe little towns or villages in Andalucía are undervalued, you can find cheap homes for rent there to have the best time of your life. Your channel is first class, very good information.

I am Andalusian, And yes, you are right. This is a paradise in many aspects. Do not tell anybody hehehe 😁

[@techbuyer]

I live in Sevilla for 5 years. Healthy food? I like the food here but with all honesty, unless if you go to some more modern restaurant, average food is fried one... I have visited almost all comunidades and for me, Galicia, Pais Vasco and northern Spain are by far the best one for the food.

[@sandokan2petrolis577]

@@techbuyer picadillo, salpicón, ensaladilla, potaje, arroz a la cubana, pipirrana, pimientos asados con bonito, mazamorra, ensalada de naranja with bacalao, etc, etc are they fried? No. One thing IS what you eat in bars and another completely different thing IS what Andalusian people like me eat at home, the real food I mean. And foreigners do not know. That IS our fault, not to show to visitors the real meals.

[@techbuyer]

@sandokan2petrolis577 @sandokan2petrolis577 es lo mismo en cada pais, comida casera nunca se come en los restaurantes con la excepción de los restaurantes en los pueblos, aunque tambien allí menos cada vez. Lo que estas comentando no es la comida que merece que se sienta en el restaurante pa comer...

Vejer is where I learnt my Spanish. Three weeks living in Vejer and studying at La Janda was a game-changer. Classes everyday till 3pm, beach at Los Caños in the late afternoon, eating and getting drunk with locals in the evening. All led me to fall in love with this beautiful village, it's food,history, and people.

[@grahamwalsh7]

Consider this one of your best videos ever James. 👏👏👏

[@spainrevealed]

Thank you!

[@Boric78]

Wow Vejer. I am lucky enough to live close and its great. However avoid high season as its a small place that gets over loaded fast. Every venue gets a 30 minute queue and each becomes a chore. Go in Spring Mar - May or after mid September (when the Spanish kids go back to school) and its a joy to wander around eating Tapas, enjoying the views, having a cold beer etc. Arcos is also nice.

Thanks again for another terrific video. Your videos are so well done and I have learned so much about Spain. I teach elementary school, ages 7-11, and the kids are so interested in other countries. Here in Ohio about 10% of the students speak Spanish and there are students from allover the world. Last year I had a Kiwi student whose parents recently moved to Ohio.I never knew much about Spain so we mainly talked about US history involving our independence from Britain and the other Western European countries except for Spain. School here starts in about two weeks, so now thanks to all of your terrific videos and info contained therein, I'll be able to talk to the kids about so many terrific things I've learned about Spain.

[@cobsueloroco7003]

Hola. Pues con España tenéis mucha historia, indaga, busca... La corona de Castilla fueron los primeros en llegar a América (Continente, claro, no es un país) y porqué piensas que tenéis ciudades con nombres en español.."San Francisco, Santa Bárbara, San Antonio, etc,etc,etc... Un saludo

[@carmendemiguel7056]

That sounds fantastic. Please then investigate and learn about the history and legacy from Spain in what is now a big part of the US. From the south (Florida, California, Lousiana, Texas, New Mexico, etc) up to the very north reaching Alaska. So much, although it is totally unknown to the population as it was unfortunately almost erased, falsified by the English and later US Americans. But still one can find documentation and some remains. US independence for example had important contribution from Spain. Then Spain lost part of its territories overseas to the US. etc. I am from Cádiz and studied high school in the US. None of this, which lasted centuries, was even slightly mentioned at US History class. Then so many people think Spain is in Mexico (or somewhere between Mexico and Brazil, I got that question/affirmation 😵‍💫) It makes me think, what if we in Spain, or any country in Europe for that matter, "selected" what part of our history we wanted to remember and preserve and leave the rest out. For example just kept the Roman history, monuments, influence but demolished or forgot intentionally about the Visigoths, Moors or the Phoenicians. It is actually quite sad, condescending even discriminating in my opinion.

[@danielaamritha340]

El pueblo de Vejer es muyyyy bonito y todos los Sevillanos vienen a Conil en verano para disfrutar de las playas estupendas. Don't ever miss the mentioned El jardin de Califa, restaurant directly at the main square. Unforgettable experience, the building and the moroccan food. It has a romantic roof top terrace❤

That's my kind of breakfast...Savory! We visited Andalucia a few years ago and I still toast bread with garlic , olive oil and tomato for breakfast or any time of day!! Just love it!!

[@Elchinodiabolero]

If you want to have your mind blown grab some good big homegrown tomatos, some olive oil and garlic toss it all into a mixer and mix it until it becomes a sort of spread. This is how we tend to have tostadas in my home in Granada, Spain. It accentuates the flavours so much, for me at least.

Food wise, it was too much pork for me, but thats of course only my opinion.

[@anniebspain]

It's true - pork is the main meat here. Following the reconquest in 1492, Isabella and Fernando filled the fields with pigs. But don't worry - pork is closely followed by Retinto beef, masses of fish and a splash of chicken

What I love the most about spanish cuisine compared to other mediterranean cuisines is how incredibly simple most of it is... yet it doesn't fall short in freshness and flavour, where you'll have italian masterfully crafted pasta dishes in spain you'll have some simple fish dish or meat cut and it will just as memorable of a lunch. Mediterranean cuisine in general is just magical Tho obviously Vejer's cuisine isn't mediterranean per se since the town is rather further away from the mediterranean coast but the influence is noticeable!

[@alaznegonzalez]

You should come to the north of Spain, Galicia (octopus and mariscada, just dope), Asturias, Cantabria and, of course, especially the Basque Country where I'm from. Dad is from Galicia. All green, great cuisine, mountains, beach. From San Sebastian (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country), in 30min you could arrive to Hendaia (Hendaya/Hendaye) in public transportation. Just brilliant.

[@OuranicRafflesia]

I think you should visit towns on their respective holidays, every town has their own and they are very unique, I live in Betera, and every 15th of August the townsfolk march carrying really tall and well-kept basil plants that have been grown throughout many months, these can grow up to 3 meters and it's a very nice experience walking alongside them, we also host another event the 17th of August where we throw many different fireworks inside fenced walls, it's also a very impressive experience, I think you should come visit! There are many other towns with unique festivities to them, they usually happen in the summer and I think it's worth investigating!

[@Necessary_Chemical]

I've always done it like you James, when it comes to pan tumaca. Put the oil and then put the tomato. Apparently I was wrong! The traditional catalan way is to first put the tomato spread and then the olive oil (and of course a pinch of salt). Who knew?! I always put the oil first cause it makes more sense as it'll nicely soak into the bread. (and your way, and by chance, my way of doing it, is popular only in Andalucia)

[@ferransentisbarcia955]

First is always scrub garlic on the bread, then tomato, then olive oil, and then some salt

[@Necessary_Chemical]

@@ferransentisbarcia955 you're right. But while researching this, what you described is valid everywhere apart from Andalucía. Quite curious right?

[@1650million]

As a Spaniard, you´ve been doing it right... for the most part. I mean, you don´t need a PhD in Chemistry to realize that if you add the oil first, it quickly absorbs into the bread, so you can add the tomato later, getting a non-messy product. The opposite is not true: if you add the tomato purée first, it doesn´t absorb nearly as well, so if you add the olive oil later, you´re basically creating a messy waterslide for oil. Literally trying to mix oil with water. The reason why Catalans tell you tomato comes first, it´s because their traditional way is to scrub the actual tomato on the bread, in which case, makes total sense. But since the vast majority of places around Spain won´t give you a tomato, but a tomato purée, oil first, tomato later, is actually the right way to go about it. Best!
