When I think of the Spanish and rules.... Not to be taken seriously, I kind of admire how the Spanish stick their middle finger out at authority :) IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ON SPAIN, JOIN OUR MAPPING SPAIN FB GROUP: groups/httpsmappingspain.comblog
Marbella, the most beautiful town on the Costa del Sol?
Просмотров 3642 месяца назад
We didn’t think we’d like Marbella. Prior to visiting, we had a pre-conceived idea of Marbella as a as a glitzy, exclusive and somewhat artificial place. Our pre-conceived ideas actually apply to Puerto Banus, which is 10 km down the coast (and which we found boring and underwhelming). A short video here showing you how beautiful Marbella is. The most beautiful town on the Costa del Sol? Hmm, m...
What’s Benalmádena like? (Spain)
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 месяца назад
We spent 5 days in Benalmádena, using it as a base to explore the area (it’s a perfect location to explore other towns such as Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Mijas). So what’s Benalmádena like? Is it worth visiting? What’s it like as a place to live? This video gives you a visual of Benalmádena. Come to the post for a lot more detail on the town: mappingspain.com/whats-benalmadena-like/ IF YOU WA...
The Highlights of Cholula (Mexico)

30 minutes from Puebla is Cholula. It's one of Mexico's Pueblos Magicos (Magic Towns) and is famous for the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Built starting around the 3rd century BC, the pyramid (also known as Tlachihualtepetl) is the largest pyramid ever built, even surpassing the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. It has a base of 450 by 450 meters (1,480 by 1,480 ft) and a height of 66 m (217 ft) and,...
Finding an apartment in Granada (Spain)
Просмотров 5803 месяца назад
We’ve found an apartment in Granada! But it wasn’t easy. I've written about some of the issues renting an apartment in Granada: lots of competition, lots of students, the need for nómina (payroll). Then there are the agents and their games. In this video I just show off the apartment that we found after 4 weeks of heavy searching. To read about all the issues you face renting an apartment in Gr...

Setenil de las Bodegas is a popular Spanish town, known for the buildings built under the rocks of the canyon lying above it. There are two main streets, Calle Cuevas del Sol (Caves of the Sun) and Calle Cuevas de la Sombra (Caves of the shade).

Visiting Monte Alban (Oaxaca)
Просмотров 894 месяца назад
Monte Alban is one of the top 5 archeological sites in Mexico (the other 4 are Teotihuacan, Palenque, Chichen Itza, and Uxmal). But Monte Alban is special because of its spectacular geographic location; on a 400 meter plateau, it has 360-degree views over the valleys surrounding it including, on one side, the colorful city of Oaxaca. The city was founded around 500 BC by the Zapotecs, a race of...
A Visit to Mitla (Oaxaca)
Просмотров 1114 месяца назад
While Monte Alban was the political center of the Zapotecs, Mitla was the religious center. Mitla means “Place of the Dead”. It is the 2nd most important archaeological site in the state of Oaxaca. Mitla is known for its columns, tombs, and a church built on top of the ruins. San Pablo Villa de Mitla (the name of the town containing the archaeological zone of Mitla) is one of Mexico’s Pueblos M...
3 minutes in Olvera (Cádiz, Spain)
Просмотров 3014 месяца назад
Olvera is one of Andalusia's Pueblos Blancos (White Villages) and has one of the most spectacular fortresses in Cádiz province. Besides being an architectural feat (it's built in a precarious position on a steep escarpment) it has incredible views of the town and surrounding countryside. A quick video here of Olvera and it's highlights. Much more detail on the blog: mappingspain.com/a-visit-to-...
A Walking tour of Antequera (Spain)

This video doesn't include the Dolmens which are outside of the center. I cover those here: ruclips.net/video/bdSjNmbZW9c/видео.html You might also like the video on the best miradors...
4 minutes in Zahara de la Sierra (Cádiz, Spain)
Просмотров 5045 месяцев назад
Zahara de la Sierra is one of Andalusia’s most stunning “pueblos blancos” (white villages). What sets it apart from many other white villages is it’s geography. It is located in Parque Natural Sierra de Grazalema in the North East part of the province of Cádiz. You’ll see lots of mountains, lush greenery (there’s a microclimate here that brings more rain to the park than anywhere else on the Ib...
Living in Antequera (compared to Nerja)
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.5 месяцев назад
We’ve had a lot of people writing us about Antequera. We though it was time that we did a post dedicated to living here. Since we lived on the coast in Nerja before moving to Antequera, we’re comparing our experience here to there. I think it’s helpful to anyone living on the coast who’s thinking of possibly moving inland. This post covers it all. We talk about why we left Nerja for Antequera a...

How far where you from the person?
Verano.Azul. was filmed in Nerja 1982 .TV Series about a gang of children from about 10-14 whose families came for summer. I recognised a location at the beach that appears in the series. It gets repeated on La 2 quite regularly.
What is a La 2?
Thank You
Great video! Thanks for telling it like it is. Always so good to get direct info. I just drove through and around Nerja on a recommendation from a local who said it is a lovely town... and they were right. I'd like to spend some time here. Thanks for the info to get me started.
@@vickiboise thank you! Good luck!
Just watched this! Loved it. We make beer tasting videos. Thanks for sharing.

Just back from the Valencia region and at 2.75 Euros in Supemarket's absolutely the go to red for a good lump of red meat.
How far is this market from zona centro ?
@@keilaripoll3285 not far, 10 min by taxi or 20 min walk
@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 amazing! Thank you 😊
Beautiful little city

So nice
We have booked for this November

Lovely video of a gorgeous Spanish town. It would have been an added compliment to the Spanish with Spanish music.
@@hawsug4614 thank you very much! Tough however finding good royalty-free music...
Hi we are planning to come to Nerja in January 11th for our 90 days (2025) we have a very small dog so is there dog friendly beach nearby please.
Hi! Officially dogs are banned from all beaches in Nerja. But most people say you can get away with bringing your dog to Playazo beach...
Is there food and drink available on the daytime train?
@@JayandSarah Hmmm...I don't remember food options. I think everyone on board brought their own food and drink.
@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 that is what I'm thinking is the situation. Thanks for responding.

Ma-hoo 😂😂
Just came back from Nerja.. I live in Atlanta, originally from Venezuela. Only thing I can say is that I'd love to live in Nerja. Beautiful town!!
Can you share the contact of your RealEstate agent? Thanks in advance and thank you for such an informative video!!!
Thank you for this. Will definitely use this in a couple of days.
We've been there many times..always a favourite of ours..stayed at The Balcone.. for the sea views x
It's very pretty :)
Thank you very much for an informative, concise and enjoyable video. You possess a nice, easy style and you video gives all the basics we were looking for as my wife and I travel there for a week on June 7th ‘24 for the first time as we are beginning to tire of the growing metropolis which is Marbella. The fishing village atmosphere of Nerja will be a welcome change and we now feel nearly at home there thanks to you video, which puts us at an advantage! We’ll done!
Thank YOU for the kind words 😃
I just found your blog researching Thailand. You are my new favorite fellow Canadian. Love your honesty, authenticity and sense of humour. All the best to you and Spanky!
You're the best, thank you very much for the kind words!!!
Great video! 🙂
Thanks! 😊
I´ve taken notice of your advice, thank you ! Good video.
Thank you!
Maro is gorgeous but a one horse town. XD
True!
Hi, should I stay in Maro or Nerja? Also Malaga. I got 3 days for these places. Any suggestions to split time?Thanks
3 days isn't much - I'd maybe stay 2 days in Nerja, 1 full day in Malaga. But that depends if you prefer beach to sights. Otherwise 1 in Nerja, 2 in Malaga...
Thank you!
Very helpful, thank you! I am concerned with the early Air France flight that requires us to be at the Airport at 3 am...
Thank you - for showing me I didn't miss anything on may walk through Maro 🙂
Very cool!
ese es el camino corto? cuanto se hace de tiempo??
Hola! Es 20 minutos del entrada. Tengo mas aqui bbqboy.net/highlights-of-the-pueblo-magico-town-of-zacatlan/
Great video. I was in Colonia Guadalupe last weekend when they had an Open Studio weekend. So I got to see some of the murals first-hand. Time restrictions prevented me from seeing the entire barrio, but your video entices me to return to see what I missed.
Very kind, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I learned more than the official website, I have a few questions, we have a very limited time, I dont want a guided tour I just wanna go and take the green route, as far as I understand I can enter at 10 am the soonest and start hiking freely, the green route is marked? I am scared of getting lost, and for the iconic stones is it ok to do the green tour? Would you recommend the yellow tour who doesnt have much time really as we will continue to the villages all day long and return to Malaga. Thank you in advance.
Don't worry about getting lost, its all well indicated and manageable and is just a loop. Yes, 10am to 7 pm. For the Screw, it's actuall not on the green or yellow, it's on the other side of the parking lot but close to the visitors center. Don't worry, all well signalled.
@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 we Cant see the famous stones with the short route?😞
@@zceylan it's not on the route itself...it's on the other side of the parking lot. But only takes 10 min walk from the visitors center. You'll see - very easy
It looks so very pretty there!
Thanks for the post here in Feb 2024 staying in the area where you lived. Still relevant although Bat Trebol renamed to San Marco. Still great and busy. El Chispa rammed with locals on a Friday but great fun.
Nice video, thinking of visiting and this is helpful. Usually we go to Lagos Algarve and the beaches there are amazing. But we fancy something different and may give this place a try.
Are there any parks for our dogs to play in safely? ¿Hay parques donde nuestros perros puedan jugar de forma segura? ¿Sin correa? Gracias Muchas!
Great job! Thank you so much for sharing this great video with us! Nerja seems our Dream Place. Plan on having a visit and looking for some properties there soon.
Thank you very much for the kind words! :)
i whould probarbly advise you to wait. spain is about to go through a very tough few years and in a couple of years time properties might be quite a lot cheaper. nerja is nice though.
From our experience, I"d say you got it just about right. However, we are from Dublin where two coffees and a croissant will cost you twelve euros, we can get that in Nerja for four euros fifty! One other thing tourists don't know is that cash machine charges to get cash are very high, best to avoid if you can as it is a bit of a rip off. But mostly, we love Nerja.
Took me 5 hours up and 3 down. I was exhausted. I did weigh 100kg though
It IS pretty tiring :)
Thanks for that... we're planning on visiting Nerja in May! Would you (or anyone) know if there are juice bars in the town as I drink celery juice every day? We'll be staying in the Burriana Beach area. Any info re juice bars would be much appreciated!
Just came back from Nerja. There’s a “Fruit Corner” place right across the street from the “Boquete de Calahonda” where they sale fruit and vegetable smoothies.
Is Lisstte blaming YOU for tourists coming here in numberss??? LOL sorry it went this way Frank
Yes, I've taken over the internet and brought all the tourists to Guanajuato :)
A great hike but you have to put the work in. I was up there in November 2023 after previous visits in 2012 and 2020. I swear it gets more difficult each time. Lots of great walks in the area too.
Very true!
luckily we own a house in Maro (Nerja) ... wonderful place!
It is! Very pretty. Since you live there, I'm curious: what's the official term for Maro? I know it's not a town (even though the Spanish use "pueblo"). It's not a comarca, it's not a municipality...what exactly is Maro?
I@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 I don't live there, we have a house in Maro (as a vacation home) we come there and stay for 1-3 months a year typically (sometimes longer) ... I don't know how exactly to describe Maro, but the postalcode is still 'Nerja' so it's just part of Nerja... but if I should call it something in spanish, I need to talk to my wife... my spanish is like "can I order a table" and "I need 4 bags" when I'm at Mercadona to pick up some food haha ;D
@@thetravelsofbbqboyandspank8535 I use to live in Nerja in the 80's and married a local, his grand mother lived in Maro, it use to be a very quiet little village with mainly old people
Hi vince ! Can you suggest safe parking areas near balcony area in nerja ?
@@akshayaiesec2011 hi … if you are ok with paying, then the big car park is pretty good, it’s not the cheapest, but we get local discount, so we use it a fair bit … but if you want free and are ok with a walk, then burriana (beach) parking is great … just be sure to get there before 10 am in vacation periods (at the evening it’s always pretty easy to park) … there’s a few free parking spaces just before the big (paid) area, so if you’re lucky, those are the absolute best, but it’s like very rare you are lucky enough, but who knows, maybe your luck is better haha :)
Great
Thanks for the information. May I ask what hotel you stayed in? Or at least it's location?
Sorry, we stayed in an Airbnb. But I can recommend Hotel Meson del Rosario which was just a few feet away.
Thanks
LOOKS gorgeous
Nice view of the Island Brać!!!
