Spanish with 56 years here. I have never seen any house in Spain that needs dehumidifiers to prevent mold... These dehumidifiers will be to avoid the humid heat that makes the thermal sensation at 30ºC higher than 40ºC.

Hi, thank you so much for the info.

Bread with good olive oil weird? And you prefer butter instead? That is so sad to say the least 😂

Hi Taylor! I’ve been watching your videos religiously as I’m moving out to Rota later this year (hopeful for November!). Could I contact you through instagram for further guidance on my move?:)

I lived in El Puerto. It's much better for families and will feel much more like neighborhoods in the USA. The English Center is a fantastic private school that is very affordable.

Malega ?

Is it hard for military spouses to find jobs in Rota?

Thanks! We just got orders to Rota for July 2024. Your video was really helpful! You’re probably back in the states now- but I hope you loved your experience in Spain

14:00: it has nothing to do with storms, you close it at night so people don’t see inside your house, or during hot days to keep the house cold. Every single apartment and house in Europe has it, not only Spain.

Every time I return to America I feel like a real person because everyone else in South America and Europe live in a little persons home lol. And the you go to Texas and the small is an XXXXXXXXL 😂

Me alegra ver que los militares americanos en Rota disfrutan de su estancia allí. No obstante yo les recomendaría que tuvieran amplitud de miras y no limitarán su estancia en Rota a unas pocas salidas de la base. Europa y España en particular son muy diversas, de una región a otra cambia la gastronomía, las costumbres e incluso el idioma y aprovechen para que sus hijos aprendan castellano, alemán o italiano, pues hablar otro idioma conlleva a entender la vida desde otra perspectiva

What about moving with pets? We have 2 dogs and a cat.

Glad I found your video, its useful information, on things to know. Thinking about moving there. Thank you!

You do get central heating and air in Spain, just usually in more modern houses. Yours seems like a "renovated" townhouse (I checked it out given the relative position to the castle). Also Cadiz is warm enough yearlong so you dont need heating. Most houses there do have AC tho. Those blinds you hate are precisely to block the light and the views. Interior temperature is very efficiently regulated by controling the amount of light (=heat) coming into the house so wise people only raise them in the summer once the sun is down so air remains cool inside. Much more healthier then using the SC all day. The only moment I think you could use a dehumidifier in that part of Spain is when there is slow west wind (levante en calma). The rest of the time is a pretty dry time. Same with the bugs. Bugs only get into your house when is wet or when the house is not clean. We clean our houses with bleach so bugs have no reason to wander in.

Very helpful thanks

You are happy in rota and I just want to break off and travel along USA by Amtrak from NYc to San Francisco,How much it would cost?

A few tips, firstly escape the tourist traps, secondly never go into a restaurant that has pictures of their dishes and thirdly different regions of Spain have different types of cuisine, having a paella outside the Valencia region is almost certain to have fallen into a tourist trap

Hi, I was wondering about the shopping mall in Jerez. My son just got to Rota and says the NEX doesn’t have much of a variety of clothes. I googled and that mall came up. It says it’s about 25 mins by car from the base. Are there clothing stores there?

Do most people know English or will we just end up learning Spanish ?

Kind of want to hear about that massage experience 😂

We are moving to Rota next month!! These videos are so helpful 🙌🏼

We lived in Rota for 3 years…left in 2021. We lived in a free standing house, with a pool on Jesus Resucitado (street name)…near The Steakhouse restaurant and the Féria fairgrounds. Just so you know…the Spanish know EXACTLY how much you receive in housing allowance by your rank…so negotiate as much as you can for utilities to be included in your rent. Our landlord was AMAZING and would do anything for us. He and his family treated us like their family. We enjoyed the safety there…we would walk at midnight…so many families were still out walking….just enjoying life,

Rota is a town that parents walk their kids to school, I was shocked to see that. And double thumbs up to the beaches there!

*Rota exists because of you, for not having helped the young democracy of the Second Republic against the bloodthirsty dictator Franco. In addition to the fact that you have to ask us for forgiveness for having stained our reputation in the 19th century together with the English with the anti-Spanish black legend, return the help we gave you in your war of independence and return the stolen territories of Puerto Rico and Guam.*

I’m so happy i found this. I was worried with all the options i saw online. I’ll be there next spring!

I wonder why this kichen seems small to you. Do americans cook their whole week full of food on one go? Or they usually have at least 5 kid family to feed? 🙂

Are you willing to answer a couple questions. My husband is retired military and my son has orders to Rota. Contact me via email if your okay with it.

Omg this is great! I’m planning a trip possibly for spring break in march (about to be retired military) I’m so glad I found your channel.

Hi Taylor! Love your videos! Here's a bidet explanation that may be TMI: In Middle Eastern and Far Eastern cultures, it's considered important to actually wash our private parts with water rather than just smear our discharges around with paper. We use regular plastic jugs or bottles when no bidet is available. It's a great, clean feeling.😆😅🤣😂🙃

Is Rota vegan or vegetarian friendly?

You cannot turn in red light in hole Europe: in most of the cases because the pedestrians has the right to cross streets when the cars are stopped in the crossing street in red. You can cause an accident! I grow up in Cadiz, and I have lived in Rota. I know a lot of cases of americans causing car accidents in Rota. Please respect the driving rules for the safe of everyone.

First, thanks for your video and show my country. Sorry to correct you, but I grew up in Cadiz province. The southern Spanish architecture is the one that influence the Morocco architecture. Morocco doesn't even exist when all this Spanish cities were built. The art style is call ANDALUSÍ. The Roman city is BAELO CLAUDIA. It was a fisherman city where the Romans produced the GARUM, a FISH sauce delicatessen. You didn't show Cadiz town? The city Napoleon fail to conquer.

Thank you for your videos!! How do you get a real estate runner, if not in the military?

Hi! How do you find a runner?

You l00k like a fairytale heroine

Hey just wanted to say thanks for All the Videos we will be pcsing there next year!

Very interesting 🤔

You gave such great tips! Thanks.

Miss Spain! Grew up on the base for 10 years. DGF 🥰

Thank you for making these videos for all of us! Can I ask if you know of any Marines stationed there? We are a military family and would love to get stationed there but would likely need to swap with a Marine that’s leaving (I think). Thank you SO much

how long did it take to get your visa for moving to Spain, and how long did it take to get your apartment?

You can get bigger ovens, they are available. Unfortunately your house is pretty but very small. You can get more. I have a side by side fridge, big sink, depends on your house. But yours is lovely and the place is really nice.

Thanks for this! I finally visited Passion Home. It is awesome 😊.

Well, speaking as someone who was stationed in Rota in the mid-1970s all I can say is , WOW!

Will you suggest a runner or two? Names and number. Any real estate agent you suggest or will the runner know the best agents? We are staying at Hovel Deques de Najera (May 3 to June 4 2022) Thank you CMDR DM

If u liked Granada. You will love Marbella. Definitely recommend!

I’m jealous. Ur right around the best and oldest bakery in rota and la silla azul my fav restaurant

My husband is obsessed with the baday he swears by it. I never used it either but I have used one before not bad

Love Rota was stationed there for 3 years and just fell in love!!! The fashion is to die for personally.
