Not to mention Spains a sh it hole n there not very civilized there i can assure u that, lived there for a lil over 3 years, super backwards many parts of spain n no not the parts u see on TV where the ppl from the UK go to party. ps if u compare Germany to spain n there people there's just no comparison as the german ppl r super intelligent n progressive where spanish ppl for the most part r backwards n violent sadly.

Elliot if you want to keep filming in dodgy and dangerous areas there is a golden rule that you should never break. Never ever walk through the same spot a second time, always keep one direction and don't turn back. I know it might sound trivial but it isn't, never give dodgy people a second chance.
I read this almost to the letter somewhere else. Got such a weird deja vu feeling my head spun a bit, unusual af. your comment, the poster's 'heart', even the "He's naive" answer. wtf

Really glad you recorded this Elliot. Tourists, of course, don't go to these places but my Spanish wife and I have explored them and every other part of 'poor' Spain. Why? Well, we just love and despise all aspects of Spain. I've said before on your channel that there are far to many shows about tapas, the weather, the good times, etc. I left a comment years ago on a RUclips Spanish video about how you could see people in Seville going through bins for food. I've witnessed poverty like it in other parts of Andalucia too. Andalucia has a history of unbelievable poverty and it still exists but authorities do their best to hide it. The behaviour of the people is fairly predictable, as it is in most poor neighbourhoods. When you have nothing you are the Lord of your Manor and the macho stuff comes to the for. They play to the camera as well of course. Most of these people just want some recognition. There are neighbourhoods in the U.K that are far more dangerous than this but they don't register as exotic gypsy barrios. They're just generations old areas of working class degradation and violence. Both yourself and Bald have shown how these people just want to be recognised and not deemed to be human garbage and I've found that myself too. In northern Europe it's tougher, not in terms of poverty, but because the resentment and industrial alienation has been built in for so long that anti-social behaviour and violence is truly a way of life. Cheers. WT
You don't know NOTHING about gypsies. The least trustworthy people I've seen in my entire life. They are richer than you and I, drug dealing to "payos". Not a people to feel sorry about. Maybe for you is a "life experience" to go to some of these dumps. But not for Spanish people.
Well he is targetting Gypsy villages, slums. And just bc 1, 2, or 3 of them don't admit that their gypsy, does not mean they are not. The film clips show some of the racism of Spanish society. The roma, Romanos, gitanos, gypsies are really stigmatized there and Elliot, you just trying to make money off of this. The same thing exists in Latin America, South America- Brazil, Arg., Paraguay and Peru. Just that they aren't so marginalised like in Spain. Lots of them melded and intermarried with the poor in Latin America and just became Peruvians, Argentine working class people. Notice how the Spanish gov just left the woman in the shanty 20, 30 years without receiving an apartment. In their social giles, it always says that they are gypsies. In Latin America, the prejudice was bad towards them, but they intermarried with everyone. Smaller numbers. Elliot, why not tell the truth, you are deliberately showing and going to gypsy areas to get exciting vids n docs. Nothing wrong w that just be upfront about it. It gets more views! Just like you vid on the gypsy pickpockets.

Wow! You are brave! I would get scared when they started getting loud if I were in such a place. Gypsies are loud. Their environment seems livable if organized and the trash is cleaned out regularly.
You are exactly right brother.. Never give them a penny. If you hand one 5 dollars, then they will bringing their kids and grandmas to ask for more money. They see it as an open invite to demand more. I learned this lesson living in the Philipines. You give one person $5, then you have 20 others demanding $200. It's one the reasons I left there. Ungrateful and demanding, under false pretence's... Very sad to see this. I found it much more rewarding in my final year there to pay scholarships for hardworking kids who couldn't afford university. At least they worked their butts off and were truly grateful.
Am I wrong to feel that you betrayed that child's trust? He showed you around with an open heart and in good faith, and protected you from what he saw as imminent danger. A small token to say thank you would have done no harm and would not have gone astray considering he is so poor and has absolutely nothing. It may have even been an inspiration to him to get something going of his own some day. The shock & pain on his face at the end was unbearable.
I agree.. but giving the kid money in front of others would’ve started a commotion , trust me. So I gave it to the adult. I didn’t wanna pull out money in front of a lot of people.
im spaniard bro, all these guys are on welfare, they get paid by the goverment basically to not steal. free housing, and yet they sell drugs and extort. don't ever feel bad about them. they are scum.

I'm from Sevilla. They've received money many times at some point free apartments too, that most of them sold and went back to living this way. They get free education but don't want it. They get pretty much everything for free as there programs for the inclusion of gipsy people into the society but still choose to sell drugs and guns.
Hi, I'm from Sri Lanka. Less than 10000 Euros per year and they are considered as poor. Just to give you an idea about Sri Lankan economy, our fresh graduate will earn about 200 - 300 Euro per month, which means 3600 Euros per year, even with the experience they can earn up to maximum 450 euros per month, which means 5400 Euros per year. For a government hospital doctor basic salary is less than 400 Euros per month and it's also same for an engineer. People do day jobs / odd jobs earns less than that. So more than 75% of Sri Lankan people are poorer than the people in those slums. I know there is a deference between living expenses but I think it's not a huge margin compared to Spain with the current inflation in Sri Lanka. Feel sad for our country.
I’ve lived in Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico for the past 7 years as an American retiree, female, traveling solo. I always live in “el centro” with locals as that’s where the affordable rents, authentic food and good people are found. I share money and food freely when able, occasionally regretting a decision to hand out money but generally happy to share and spread the love.
All of Sevilla is ugly if you want a nice vacation go to either the USA 🇺🇸, Australia 🇦🇺, Canada 🇨🇦, South Korea 🇰🇷 or Japan 🇯🇵 any other country is awful
@chinglee100 I've seen a lot of America and have no desire to go back and Australia never appealed to me, I love India but I'll probably stick to Europe from now on it has everything.
I agree with you.. but I can guarantee you no strangers will go there. These people need to learn social education and norms OUTSIDE of the barrio in school and in public. They literally live in another world.
@@AdventureElliotI like to write about the dark side of places like Seville. I was in Seville a few days ago and didn’t realise how close I was to los 3000 viviendas. I walked beside the Kansas highway to the train station and witnessed no gypsy activity. I wish I knew beforehand what was there. I would have been more attentive.
If they attack you, and steal from you, you're getting what you fully deserve. You shouldn't have been there, and you know it. You're a total idiot!!! Typical American
I remember back in 1985 I was 10 years old being born in Australia by spanish parents we went to bilbao to visit family and the culture shock of dealing with some of the gitanos was overwhelming..some were good some were well let's just say I wasn't ready for some of the shifty antiques they can pull on you..was close to blows with some of them..but overall they were nice to me being the spanglish (aussie spaniard ) I am..lessons learnt there for sure
The people saying there portuguese what nonsense , a minute later he says he was born and raised in seville , there all gypsy and they all move around europe like a carnival festival
Even Seville is dodgy. The pickpockets there are brazen. They even hit a tour group I was with visiting the Alhambra. While the tourists are gawking at the archetecture, their pockets are being picked. We ran after one but he had a getaway car waiting across the street. Motorbike theives are a danger there. They will drive between stopped cars in traffic and snatch purses from open windows of cars, then speed-off.
Keep it up man. Your videos are tasteful and informative. People need salt so they can taste the sweet. I can't remember where in WI you are from, but I personally believe that if you are able to get around Milwaukee okay, you can get around pretty much anywhere else. Don't be a sucker in the streets and stick to your ethics when you produce. Vaya con dios
Well I wouldnt say that, if he were to go to any dangerous slums in the carribean as a white guy, or even brazil, colombia, mexico etc he would be a target and its not adviceable going there solo
Cheap food is unhealthy: Coca Cola, potato chips, cookies, and other snack foods replace proper meals in these communities. And if the guy drinks, that will enlarge his liver.
Dude we have lived in Andalusia for 14 years and I have never seen anything like this. First time finding your channel and I will go through your Spanish videos first. I have to say your Spanish is excellent my friend and at the end of video we were on that bridge last summer.
@joskevermeulen3271 are you saying that these people should be responsiple of they own lifes ? and pay they own bills and dont do crimes ? thats like RAYcsims or something ? you cant keep these people accuntable to all of they dealings and wealings.
this isn't just being poor. It is a collective mentality. How are you as a person going to lift yourself up and take responsibility if your parents also show lack or responsibility. You as a person will never know how it is to live responsible and live WITH responsible people. It is like a fish living in the ocean. Fish have no clue what life beyond the sea is and it doesn't care same goes for these people.
@@god6384 so are you saying some people are like mindless animals ? prisoners of they own savagery and primitive behavioural patterns ? like ancient hunter gatherers ?
You should have just took 20 euros in change and gave them all a euro each put the notes under the sole in your shoe and say I've only brung 20 euros in coins .. you can buy a can of lager or a chocolate bar
absolutely, or even taken some small gifts that would have appealed to the kids and like you say a few euros each. The young lad acted as a tour guide. It's peoples homes,not a zoo.
this is a great video, everyone loves seeing poor people, come to LA and see them walking the streets, some are gypsies also, but they have more money than everyone else. begging gets you farther than working.
It was indeed scary. Excuse my directness, are you mad? Very pleased you got out. If you come to england i would be glad to show you round england, best wishes iain w
Elliot, tbh you come across as admirably brave and respectful and also a little naive. As others have commented, though it's hard to resist the temptation, in such situations it' s invariably a mistake to hand out money to one person in a group....stirs up envy, competition and resentment. I did it once in Skopje and nearly got beaten up.
I know what the Spanish lady is saying, and it happens all over the world. The councils award money to private companies, who then ensure that such money only covers profit and expenses, but not the service they have been paid for, or there is nothing left to provide that service to a reasonable standard of what is needed.. That system has failed. The money should then be accountable to anyone that asks where it has been spent that we can all see BUT you are met with a great silence!, even in UK .
I used to go to ragtown in Eaton Colorado for church services and believe it looked similar to what this video looks like but cleaner . Absolutely no reason to let garbage build up . 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I have personally been all over southern spain . All of andalucia - granada, sevilla, marbella, la linea, fuengirola, benalmadena, torremolinos and all over in small towns.. I lived there for 4 years and i have NEVER experienced a single thing or event or situation where i felt danger was around! Ever in 4 years!! I went out every week until the middle of the night , most of the time alone, and i never even once experienced any sorts of bad thing. Andalucia is a beautiful and extremly peaceful place and nobody will make problem for you - trust me . Because the police there are not to be messed with - they have automatic rifles and do not hold back. Please - i think this exact area is very very out of societys reach and somehow the laws reach.. But this SO FAR away from how andalucia is . Its the most beutiful place ive ever been . For the nice and warm people , the culture and the weather. You went to a place where they are living in mud basically
Hermano, soy de Ucrania y escuchándote hablar de unos ingresos tan pequeños para una familia como 10.000 euros, no sé si reír o llorar.

When you give money to people do it in secret...you gave that guy money where others can see,you are sure to have others expecting that you'll give them money too...don't be a naive tourist, be a wise traveller
He doesn't want you to treat them to dinner. He wants the cash instead. If they are Bulgarians, they must be immigrants, and they have been there a long time, and the children learn the language. It happens here in the US too. When I visit next time, I will stay in the city, and in my vacation area. I will be mindful of pick pockets too. We have proverty here too, but I stay away from these areas...it's not safe.
Same. They destroy & parasitise everything in their path to then complain. These are all over my city of Ghent, Belgium. Harassing people. Recently in front of a large supermarket in the city center: 'I have 12 kids in my caravan and can't afford food'. I asked why the fuck he has 12 kids when he can't take care of them. Usually being intimidating right back at them garners some kind of respect. Being 6'5 like me helps.
In the last few years… i started to watch about dodgy areas in Europe… while “ best “ countries like England , Spain , France , Italy , Belgium are falling apart so quickly…. I feel more safe when i go back to Eastern Europe , when police will break the s..t out of you if you break the law.. much safer in Poland, Romania , Bulgaria
That kid will steal from people like you in the future, I don’t blame him. $2 would have saved some poor guy getting a rock to the head or worse . If you didn’t agree to pay him for helping you then I would understand, but you gave your word you would give him some $ when you had finished filming his home & living situation.

At the end should have paid that kid and told the group that a piece of the payment was for Chaqueta of course of the interviews. You did get into homes and did interviews in a place you were not really welcome . They did it all in hopes that they could get paid for the interviews. Other than that, I like the content. You could have purchased some of the food from the lady and then give to others in the village letting them all know it was a gift from you and Chaqueta.

Elliot is boss.. this channel is gonna blow up in 2024
You have a gift of humbleness Elliot, thats why you are welcome everywhere
Am I wrong to feel that you betrayed that child's trust? He showed you around with an open heart and in good faith, and protected you from what he saw as imminent danger. A small token to say thank you would have done no harm and would not have gone astray considering he is so poor and has absolutely nothing. It may have even been an inspiration to him to get something going of his own some day. The shock & pain on his face at the end was unbearable.
I feel you are right. At least 5 euros and done...
I agree.. but giving the kid money in front of others would’ve started a commotion , trust me. So I gave it to the adult. I didn’t wanna pull out money in front of a lot of people.
@@AdventureElliot Ah Ok. I get it.
im spaniard bro, all these guys are on welfare, they get paid by the goverment basically to not steal. free housing, and yet they sell drugs and extort. don't ever feel bad about them. they are scum.
@@AdventureElliot Nahh you are not loyal that's just that!
dam Elliot that was dodgy as heck lol, glad you got out there quickly and safely, thanks for sharing buddy, awesome video as always,💯

@@noodles6390 its not so stfu
Wow what a video
Thanks for showing us the truth
This was an experience no one gets, increible!
Hace 4 siglos que llegaron hasta España y Portugal cruzando toda Europa, y ahí siguen, viviendo a su p.bola.
Hasta los subsaharianos que llegan ahora se integran antes.
Eles são muito fechados ... não gostam muito de se misturar mesmo aqui em Portugal...cresci com alguns mas os pais não gostam de que eles se misturem
True 100%
Pero también les gusta " de llorar" y " de pedir".🤣🤣
Eu sou e não gosto de me misturar com eles que é diferente a maioria das pessoas nem percebe , falo igual e trato igual mas não é por ter sangue que tenho de ser igual
Pelo menos fui abençoado com isso , mas a realidade é que é pior que ser preto , as pessoas nunca confiam em ti ou fogem de ti se és cigano na maioria das vezes e eles não fazem nada pá mudar a imagem que tem como ciganos
Great story telling. Keep going :)
Thanks mate

You can be poor without acting like they do
They are not white so have low standards for them so you are not disappointed
And you can be rich and act way worse than these people do. 😮
@@paulheydarian1281well of course, I see both sides of the fence. So called "rich" or poor. In fact the so called "rich" often act much worse
@@paulheydarian1281Today in fact is the norm because people used to have no class before the norm was even the poorest and today no one with from a bunch of gypsy(and even before they used did not have before)
I'm from Sevilla. They've received money many times at some point free apartments too, that most of them sold and went back to living this way.
They get free education but don't want it.
They get pretty much everything for free as there programs for the inclusion of gipsy people into the society but still choose to sell drugs and guns.
Education is so spectacularly important.
Bingo
THEY ARE UNFITTED FOR NORMAL SOCIETY.
Yes but they don't want it.
Hi, I'm from Sri Lanka. Less than 10000 Euros per year and they are considered as poor. Just to give you an idea about Sri Lankan economy, our fresh graduate will earn about 200 - 300 Euro per month, which means 3600 Euros per year, even with the experience they can earn up to maximum 450 euros per month, which means 5400 Euros per year. For a government hospital doctor basic salary is less than 400 Euros per month and it's also same for an engineer. People do day jobs / odd jobs earns less than that. So more than 75% of Sri Lankan people are poorer than the people in those slums. I know there is a deference between living expenses but I think it's not a huge margin compared to Spain with the current inflation in Sri Lanka. Feel sad for our country.
I’ve lived in Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico for the past 7 years as an American retiree, female, traveling solo. I always live in “el centro” with locals as that’s where the affordable rents, authentic food and good people are found. I share money and food freely when able, occasionally regretting a decision to hand out money but generally happy to share and spread the love.
You are a generous person Cynthia. A few among the many. I cannot fathom other ppl just ignoring mendicants. Giving food would be great.
And we call are selves human beings…..What a sad world …Well done to this man I think I would be shaking to….Well done….
OURSELVES. DEAR GOD
Great video, I'm going to Sevilla this year but I think I'll skip that part.
You'd be missing out on the cultural enrichment.
All of Sevilla is ugly if you want a nice vacation go to either the USA 🇺🇸, Australia 🇦🇺, Canada 🇨🇦, South Korea 🇰🇷 or Japan 🇯🇵 any other country is awful
@chinglee100 I've seen a lot of America and have no desire to go back and Australia never appealed to me, I love India but I'll probably stick to Europe from now on it has everything.
@@chinglee100What drugs are you on? America is clown show. These people are gypsies not native Spaniards.
you shouldve taken care of that kid
the small five wouldnt have hurt
he might not be so welcoming to strangers now
I agree with you.. but I can guarantee you no strangers will go there. These people need to learn social education and norms OUTSIDE of the barrio in school and in public. They literally live in another world.
@@AdventureElliot/Elliot, they like to live in the fringes of society
Maybe but you never know, he may see this video and hear what Elliot said.
@@AdventureElliotI like to write about the dark side of places like Seville. I was in Seville a few days ago and didn’t realise how close I was to los 3000 viviendas. I walked beside the Kansas highway to the train station and witnessed no gypsy activity. I wish I knew beforehand what was there. I would have been more attentive.
If they attack you, and steal from you, you're getting what you fully deserve. You shouldn't have been there, and you know it. You're a total idiot!!! Typical American
I remember back in 1985 I was 10 years old being born in Australia by spanish parents we went to bilbao to visit family and the culture shock of dealing with some of the gitanos was overwhelming..some were good some were well let's just say I wasn't ready for some of the shifty antiques they can pull on you..was close to blows with some of them..but overall they were nice to me being the spanglish (aussie spaniard ) I am..lessons learnt there for sure
Gypsies in english
They have no intention of integrating...
I’ve watched the video till the end . It was a very scary place. Thanks God you are safe. Take care always & God be with you all the time. ❤
The people saying there portuguese what nonsense , a minute later he says he was born and raised in seville , there all gypsy and they all move around europe like a carnival festival
Even Seville is dodgy. The pickpockets there are brazen. They even hit a tour group I was with visiting the Alhambra. While the tourists are gawking at the archetecture, their pockets are being picked. We ran after one but he had a getaway car waiting across the street. Motorbike theives are a danger there. They will drive between stopped cars in traffic and snatch purses from open windows of cars, then speed-off.
Wow! I was planning on visiting Spain. i didn't know this side of Spain. They only show the good side.
My channel will show you the good, bad, and ugly
Neither you know it nor do most Spaniards. These people are Gypsies and have lived in settlements for centuries. Nobody goes there.
Keep it up man. Your videos are tasteful and informative. People need salt so they can taste the sweet. I can't remember where in WI you are from, but I personally believe that if you are able to get around Milwaukee okay, you can get around pretty much anywhere else. Don't be a sucker in the streets and stick to your ethics when you produce. Vaya con dios
Vaya con dios Johnny.. Thanks
Well I wouldnt say that, if he were to go to any dangerous slums in the carribean as a white guy, or even brazil, colombia, mexico etc he would be a target and its not adviceable going there solo
The tour guide kid that showed you round deserved payment. He trusted you to tip him. Felt for him. Bloody dangerous there! 😳
El que pide dinero pa comer se ve gordito y sus ninos tambien😐
Si, todos los gents alya en los “ bushes “ son Gordos. No hay flaco!
Cheap food is unhealthy: Coca Cola, potato chips, cookies, and other snack foods replace proper meals in these communities. And if the guy drinks, that will enlarge his liver.
Lo mismo pasa aqui en los Estados Unidos.
😂
Todos están rollizos. Piden por pedir es su tradición.
Great video
Thanks as always
Incredible video
Te la rifas elliot yendo ahi
Gripping, an eye opener! Please take care.
Dude we have lived in Andalusia for 14 years and I have never seen anything like this. First time finding your channel and I will go through your Spanish videos first. I have to say your Spanish is excellent my friend and at the end of video we were on that bridge last summer.
If you think this was bad, wait until you see this place in Madrid

@@AdventureElliot Have you ever wandered into the plastic greenhouses in Almeria, we did by accident (long story) might be an interesting video
@@Roberto-tu5re yes I have .. the mar de plástico
That big guy was so cute😂😂😂 jumping up and down
He was excited he got money out of me.. and after I watched the footage back I felt horrible because the little boy felt screwed over. My fault.
@@AdventureElliotYou fkd that kid over badly!!!
I just don’t get it, Poorness, has nothing to do to with, being dirty. That is disgusting, yikes.
Lack of education not money
@@joskevermeulen3271 I definitely agree with you.
@joskevermeulen3271 are you saying that these people should be responsiple of they own lifes ? and pay they own bills and dont do crimes ? thats like RAYcsims or something ? you cant keep these people accuntable to all of they dealings and wealings.
this isn't just being poor. It is a collective mentality. How are you as a person going to lift yourself up and take responsibility if your parents also show lack or responsibility. You as a person will never know how it is to live responsible and live WITH responsible people. It is like a fish living in the ocean. Fish have no clue what life beyond the sea is and it doesn't care same goes for these people.
@@god6384 so are you saying some people are like mindless animals ? prisoners of they own savagery and primitive behavioural patterns ? like ancient hunter gatherers ?

That's the trouble with these people. They love you until you don't pay them. You were very lucky meeting some of the ones you did!
Can't believe you didn't tip the kid!
You should have just took 20 euros in change and gave them all a euro each put the notes under the sole in your shoe and say I've only brung 20 euros in coins .. you can buy a can of lager or a chocolate bar
absolutely, or even taken some small gifts that would have appealed to the kids and like you say a few euros each. The young lad acted as a tour guide. It's peoples homes,not a zoo.
@gogoalala yes bags if sweets are cheap as fuk in the aldi
Dumb Americans for you how did he do that to Cristiano i actually despise this guy… I’ve seen him do these stingy things in a few of his videos
Very good.
really good, we need more documentary like that in seville, would you like to record again ? could be awesome.
see youu

They'r all in it together...
this is a great video, everyone loves seeing poor people, come to LA and see them walking the streets, some are gypsies also, but they have more money than everyone else. begging gets you farther than working.
It was indeed scary. Excuse my directness, are you mad? Very pleased you got out. If you come to england i would be glad to show you round england, best wishes iain w
I’m a bit mad yes.. I’d love to visit England - I bet I’d be in more danger in many of the hoods in England .. un saludo
This is in Sevilla 😢😢😢😢😢 omg jim morisson loves Sevilla so much and Im looking forward to visit there. Where are the spanish locals???😢😢😢
These are spanish locals wym
Parecen los shanty towns around new dheli
Please stay safe 🙏 it's not worth putting yourself at risk for a you tube video, I say this with the greatest of respect
🤗
Elliot, tbh you come across as admirably brave and respectful and also a little naive. As others have commented, though it's hard to resist the temptation, in such situations it' s invariably a mistake to hand out money to one person in a group....stirs up envy, competition and resentment. I did it once in Skopje and nearly got beaten up.
I know what the Spanish lady is saying, and it happens all over the world. The councils award money to private companies, who then ensure that such money only covers profit and expenses, but not the service they have been paid for, or there is nothing left to provide that service to a reasonable standard of what is needed.. That system has failed. The money should then be accountable to anyone that asks where it has been spent that we can all see BUT you are met with a great silence!, even in UK .
She's not a native Spaniard. Neither Waa the guy before her speaking in broken Castilian.
She's not Spanish, dodo bird.

I have personally been all over southern spain . All of andalucia - granada, sevilla, marbella, la linea, fuengirola, benalmadena, torremolinos and all over in small towns.. I lived there for 4 years and i have NEVER experienced a single thing or event or situation where i felt danger was around! Ever in 4 years!! I went out every week until the middle of the night , most of the time alone, and i never even once experienced any sorts of bad thing. Andalucia is a beautiful and extremly peaceful place and nobody will make problem for you - trust me . Because the police there are not to be messed with - they have automatic rifles and do not hold back. Please - i think this exact area is very very out of societys reach and somehow the laws reach.. But this SO FAR away from how andalucia is . Its the most beutiful place ive ever been . For the nice and warm people , the culture and the weather. You went to a place where they are living in mud basically
Muchas gracias Michael.
Gracias por sus palabras sobre Andalucía.
U are forgeting a small detail genius...criminals also have automatic guns in Andalucia

Hermano, soy de Ucrania y escuchándote hablar de unos ingresos tan pequeños para una familia como 10.000 euros, no sé si reír o llorar. En nuestro país, mucha gente vive con un salario mínimo de 150 euros o 1.300 euros al año o 2.600 al año para un matrimonio. Al mismo tiempo, trabajan a tiempo completo y también crían hijos.
La gente de estos barrios de España gana menos que cualquier ucraniano
@@Many_Rivera ¿Estás el miércoles? En Ucrania, el salario mínimo es de 158 euros al mes.
Go to Portugal there are many slums like this! I know all the locations, if you wanna more info let me know!
Please email me (the link to my email is in the “about me” section of this channel)
@@AdventureElliot Just emailed you.
Wow, very different than Fakulteta and that area outside of Malaga
I'm glad you followed me and notice those differences
I’m Mexican and they remind me so much of Mexicans in California
That's because these are Romani, not Spaniards.
Man, I appreciate you but it’s not worth dying for!! Please be careful.
Man, no offense or nothing, Im a local myself and nowadays it seems to me everyones made of steel or something or might have just turned insane in order to get a few likes and subs by entering places like this...This no joke my friend, your putting your life into place here, not because they could or not rob/mug you, but because there are very mentally unstable people around this type of places, and theres no preconfigured plan you can count on...I hope u learned from this..
Brilliant and very scary
As a severe phycopath it makes me smile when i hear people say "the most dangerous people in the world are here" 😁 Prey
The most dangerous people in the world are not in Scotland, that's for sure 😂😂😂
@@Many_Rivera You think guns make people dangerous? 😂😂😂 Scotland has a population of 5 million people and was the murder capital of EUROPE.
You should have gave something to the kid. He helped you out and friendly kid. Just something …. Man .. don’t be cheap….
I live close by. Viva Sevilla!!!
Those people are ruthless, Elliot. There's nothing good left in them. You were lucky to get out unharmed.
Shi..... You escaped from a sure mugging bro🙃
I am living in SRI LANKA and always thought as those European countries are Heavenly places for the living.....bUt ALAS!!! My mind has turned upside down whenI saw the utterly degraded and socially discriminated people like those who are living in Abject POVERTY, in the advanced stage of emaciation in such intolerably dire conditions in Spain.!!!!??😮😮😮😮😮😮. WHAT A SHAME!!!😮😮 NOW SRI LANKANS HAVE OPENING THEIR EYES UPON THE SO CALLED TOURISTS THAT ENTER INTO THIS ISLAND.!!!!😮😮😮😮. NICE ESCAPE!!😮😮😮
When you give money to people do it in secret...you gave that guy money where others can see,you are sure to have others expecting that you'll give them money too...don't be a naive tourist, be a wise traveller
Never give money to anyone, ever. No money, no conversation, no attention or anything. They are Gypsies.
Try El Puche Almería, what a place.
Been there and filmed a video for my Spanish channel.. it was insane haha.
That was pretty silly what you did at the end
He doesn't want you to treat them to dinner. He wants the cash instead. If they are Bulgarians, they must be immigrants, and they have been there a long time, and the children learn the language. It happens here in the US too. When I visit next time, I will stay in the city, and in my vacation area. I will be mindful of pick pockets too. We have proverty here too, but I stay away from these areas...it's not safe.
Never walk back, you should have run away at the end. I am surprise they did not rob you.
thanks gods your safe😢
You should have compensated the boy Christian.
Yes and no
Andalucía can be very dangerous for foreigners if your in poor places the average yearly payment is 10k euro
There's no word for how visceral is my hate for those "people"
I don’t hate them, you can judge each one by their characters. I’ve met many great and generous ones.
Same. They destroy & parasitise everything in their path to then complain. These are all over my city of Ghent, Belgium. Harassing people. Recently in front of a large supermarket in the city center: 'I have 12 kids in my caravan and can't afford food'. I asked why the fuck he has 12 kids when he can't take care of them. Usually being intimidating right back at them garners some kind of respect. Being 6'5 like me helps.
@@AdventureElliot bro stop it's only in your dream
They don't want cake 😂😂😂 They just want the money
Try los psjsritos in vallsdolid and tell me later if you survive getting out!
In the last few years… i started to watch about dodgy areas in Europe… while “ best “ countries like England , Spain , France , Italy , Belgium are falling apart so quickly…. I feel more safe when i go back to Eastern Europe , when police will break the s..t out of you if you break the law.. much safer in Poland, Romania , Bulgaria
I have zero empathy for these people.
Aargh u should have given the kid christian some money toxxo ... he did walk round with u alot and warn u about bad people ❤❤xx
That looks like the cape flats
That kid will steal from people like you in the future, I don’t blame him.
$2 would have saved some poor guy getting a rock to the head or worse .
If you didn’t agree to pay him for helping you then I would understand, but you gave your word you would give him some $ when you had finished filming his home & living situation.
Yeah I live in Birmingham and we are used to travellers and gypsies, common respect to dof your cap and leave a tip, simple as, they live their life and we should respect that. fascinating people, wouldn't wanna mess with one tho! Good vid X
Thanks mate.. I feel like gypsies have some things in common but also have their differences depending on the country
@@AdventureElliot Like all of us, the core is family, but when they are treated so bad they come together, as we all do, poverty is evil, even when you are good XXX
@@moniquetheobald889wdf? Treated bad? So how are u going to treat them if they come next to your house in their trailers and s h it and throw rubbish everywhere and steal everything?
At the end should have paid that kid and told the group that a piece of the payment was for Chaqueta of course of the interviews. You did get into homes and did interviews in a place you were not really welcome . They did it all in hopes that they could get paid for the interviews. Other than that, I like the content. You could have purchased some of the food from the lady and then give to others in the village letting them all know it was a gift from you and Chaqueta.
Savilla was a weird city. I stayed there for months. I catch vibes.
It was even scary to watch.
what is the first video about the same place?
I went to a FORBIDDEN Gypsy Slum and THIS Happened 🇪🇸
