I value the honesty of this video, and letting your kids & partner give their opinions without overriding them. There is a tendency among people to retort “Well if you don’t like it, leave!” Which doesn’t make any sense. To truly love something, you love its positives and hate its negatives. To love its negatives is insanity. That doesn’t exist. Go watch the many travel agency videos if you want unrealistic optimism, only to be unprepared and unpleasantly surprised by the reality of a place. I’ve been living in Spain two years and those negatives are true of any beach city in Andalucia to a degree. So I can corroborate your accuracy. I’m originally from a beach city in the USA and I’m still looking for my ideal place to put down roots here. Your kiddos opinions are useful too :) I wonder what the boy was getting to about “going to all the important…”, maybe festivals? Thank you, your video helps me prioritize Marbella on my list of places to visit.
Just a little tip for editing: you add dissolve only when there's a big time gap between shots. Otherwise use just a standard cut. So many dissolve cuts make it hard to watch. All the best!
@@yuwiisathsara8759 It gets cold-ish! You'd definitely feel the cold indoors, as there's no central heating. Madrid gets snow every once in a while, yes. Completely different climate to the coastline. This is a great time to take a look at the weather forecasts for any of these locations as it's pretty much the middle of the winter.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment! :) No place in the world will be perfect, that's for sure. Marbella is very nice but not made for everyone.

@@ElinaEmils 🙏 Also, we need more videos! 😁
Looking to move marbella as a young family. 28/30/7 year old. Im there next month to scope the area out. Look at urbanizations just outside etc
Good luck! It's certainly going to be easier to find a place the closer you get to September. School usually starts around mid-September.
Marbella seems like a really nice city to live in.
We've enjoyed it immensely! :)
No where in the world is all sunshine and rainbows - agree re traffic and prices
Yes, exactly!
Don't you have to drive 40 minutes to get to the airport?
Yes, the closest airport is anywhere from a 40-60 minute drive depending on which route you take and how bad the traffic is.
does it snow in winter ? marbella ?
No! Never snows. :)
@@ElinaEmils but cold know ? And what about madrid ? Snow or not?
