The towns in Spain are repositories of plenty of gems. I always find a nice bar or a restaurant or something interesting. People have always been kind and slowly warm up for a chat. Love roaming Spain.
Great to see you back, love your channel. You said before the Spanish government has put a social shield on increases of Rents,.does that still apply, if so is it in the public sector, or private sector . Muchos Grathis. Tomito.
Really enjoyed the video Stuart. I realise it has been difficult to travel over the last 18 months, but please do more travelling to cities such as Toro if you are allowed in the coming months.
Thanks for all your videos Stuart. We moved here as a family from South Africa end of January, and as we are still learning the language your videos have become a fantastic way for us to know what is going on in the news, especially with Covid. Thanks for the travel videos too. We are still exploring Spain and all of its offerings. You are doing a great job!
Great to see you made the big move. I am still in the planning stage. From where were you in SA and where are you planning to settle in Spain? Would love to know more.
@@jacquesblignaut7844 hi, yes, we made it out JUST before borders closed. Moved here from a farm in Mpumalanga. We are not settled yet, but will be in a few months' time - Asturias.
Missed the videos over the past few days, Stuart! Living in Vietnam and I usually listen to them before I go to sleep. Thanks for the cool videos. Keep up the good work.
Recycling in Madrid is very good. Most of my waste goes in the yellow (envases) container. Even organic waste (brown bin) can be recycled. It is maybe a bit complicated for people who are new and it does require different bins in the kitchen and a bit of organization but it is really not that difficult and if we all do our bit for the environment it will really help the environment.
there is a major problem with the recycling bins/banks, you have to be able to get to them so many citezens do not have acess to them and the other is the rubbish and broken glass that collects around them which doubles when the recepicules are full. Much better is some form of collection along with the regular rubbish collection.
I know it's not easy, it's a chore, recording so many parts of town, setting the tripod, looking for the best frame then back home a pain to edit it all so for that reason and I think I speak for most subscribers thank you for your work and effort to show us Toro
Looking at the two storey houses in Toro I am reminded of the typical arquitecture of the Galician town. Looking at a town like Sarria, north of Ourense on the road to Lugo, most of the construction consists of six to eight storey apartment buildings towering over narrow streets and blocking off the sunlight. You get a feeling of suffocation and the noise level must be horrendous. The funny thing is that in many cases these towns are only two or three streets wide. Why live in apartment buildings with zero green space when your small city (10,000 people) is surrounded by countryside and forest? Surely it is not a problem of lack of space for building. I have been in countless cities and towns in Galicia and they are all the same, narrow streets lined by towering apartment blocks. I love Galicia for its forests, coastline, green pastures, and mountains, but the cities are sometimes depressing.
Galicia is not known in Spain for its cities. Living in a compact manner does wonders for the environment though. So much of Europe's countryside is blighted by urban sprawl.
I think you have to live in a Galician city to understand how lively they really are. So much of Galicia is still rural - even in the cities, there are lots of patches with animals and grape vines. It’s not at all a depressing place to live, although I can see how one might think so as a visitor from outside of Galicia.
@@shinyshinythings I don't find all the Galician cities depressing and I am aware thay are very lively. Galicia is under no circumstances a depressing place to live. Across the border from us we have Verín, which is horrendous in its urban planning. Ourense is not attractive except maybe for the part near the river. Coruña is nice, as well as Lugo, Santiago, and especially Ferrol, which is now my favorite go to place. My comment was about the incredibly tall apartment blocks lining narrow streets in many of the smaller cities. Sarria stood out because we stopped there last Tuesday to have some delicious octopus. If we go to the coast there are gems like Laxe, Camariñas, Mujia, Ares, Valdeviño, Cedeira, Ortigueira, Viveiro, Foz, and Ribadeo. I guess, from my selection, that I show my prejudice for small towns and a coastal location.
When visiting these beautiful places. Would it be possible for you to mention if there are places to park with a motorhome or camping facilities. My wife and me travel extensively throughout Spain and Portugal. We hope to start again pandemic permitting very soon. Many thanks.
Lovely video, Stewart. And a lovely respite as well from the daily news :-) thank you for posting this! Always watch your videos and I am thankful for your commitment to your viewers. Thanks again! Besitos!
I’m with the CaixaBank in Mahon/Sant Ciment the service has been excellent. One of their staff Fatima went to the police station with me to help translate to get my residency. I’ve never had this level of service in the UK. Even though the UK burned it bridges in 2016 the welcome I have had as a brexit refugee is fabulous. Nothing better than enjoying a evening with people from all over Europe.
Nice I must try an visit this place next time I make it to Spain, I liked your wine review in the area as well as the wonderful scenery, looks like a really great place to visit.
Muchas gracias Stuart. Se te echaba de menos. Hay que ver siendo española y nunca he estado allí. Definitívamente vamos a ir. Precioso. Y los vinos!!! No nos podemos perder este sítio ya por más tiempo. A mi marido(que es escocés) le encanta el vino y España y esta zona es una gran desconocida para ambos. Genial tu video, como siempre. Keep it up!! Thanks!!
Hola Stuart. Gracias for the video. Toro looks a great place to live or visit. It's a shame when vehicles go through such a beautiful place. Our village is the same. Have to agree with you about the recycling. We have the bins here too. Take care, stay safe and enjoy the rest of your holiday xx
Hi Stuart great to see you out and about. Thank you for showing us another part of Spain always enjoyable. The town looks very good and clean. Lovely blue sky and fabulous views. Enjoy
I think the large public recycling bins in Spain are great! All too often in Ireland and the Uk the bins are overstuffed. Litter is just a reality of modern life
I think the bins in Spain get emptied daily OK you may have to walk a few metres to get to them Some places like Malaga they are actually underground with chutes for each bin type Certainly beats three or four bin types in the average UK garden for two weeks between emptying
@@barbaraneville5036 Yes, I'm also impressed by the trash system. ln the Galicia town where I stay, the outdoor bins are spaced along each street and emptied on a very punctual schedule early every morning, every day except Sunday and holidays. (Meanwhile, here in Santa Monica CA, everyone brings out their own bins on the night prior to the once-a-week trash collection.)
@@DropdudeJohn However in UK a lot of plastic does not get recycled. When I lived in Brighton and Hove even the Green council did not allow many types of plastic recycling.
The Japanese came in the XVI century chasing the tuna through the river Duero. They found a very small village towards the end of their adventure which they used to resupply their ships and process their catch. They called it Toro (Tuna in Japanese) . Some of them stayed and mixed with the local population hence the surname “Japon” which is endemic of that area in Spain
The treasure of romanic cathedrals in Europe , It is a poor region because of low population and a lack of industrial resources , there are cities really nice with beautiful buildings the only good thing about this decentralization is solidarity , although the system fails because there are regions with a debt of 50 % as Valencia and Catalonia while Madrid a 15 %
I know it is really hard to catch them in the act but people (teenagers?) who scribble meaningless messages on buildings (tagging) should be punished. A good punishment would be to clean the surfaces. But I know that is not going to happen. It is amazing in Spain to see graffiti on highway signs that are more than five meters above the ground. One wonders how they do it and also why they do it?
Another interesting Video Stuart, I’m on my way to northern Spain in September for two weeks before going South, thank for all the informative videos you have done in northern Spain, and I think the recycling system in Spain is great, not pretty but as you say it is what it is
Just keep in mind, Toro was for several centuries one of the most important cities in Castile, it was also the capital of the province until 1833, when it became part of the province of Zamora.
Great video. Toro looks beautiful. Also refreshing you did not mention the c word once in the video!!! I like these kind of videos as a welcome change. I wonder if you can do a video about Rascafria and Sierra Norte? My parents are visiting me in Madrid in September and hiring a car and driving to Rascafria.
Whenever I go to Spain my Spanish friends criticize my pronunciation of "toro" claiming that I'm saying "todo" when I mean to say "toro". I notice that you have the same problem, or at least that is what I am hearing. I must admit my hearing has been going downhill the last couple of years, so perhaps I'm just not capable of saying or hearing "toro" properly. Thanks for the travelogue on "toro". It sounds like an interesting place to visit.
Nice video Stuart, and it's good to see the 'travelogs' making a comeback. That said, I do have to disagree with you about removing cars entirely from the casco historico. I live right in the centre of one, and it is hard enough as it is is to bring stuff to the house. All very well for you suburbanites to complain about cars spoiling the ambience, but we are not living in a tourist theme park.
I agree with "juvenal's dad". Sometimes tourists expect that the locals should transform their normal life in the interest of visitors. However, I believe that small towns in Spain should ban scooters that are modified to be noisy by some youngsters.
I do not think he is complaining just so it benefits the tourists only. I think he is trying to say that historic parts of towns or cities are beautiful and they should be preserved for the future for the locals as well as the tourists. I do agree that it is inconvenient. Don't know the solution, maybe it's the price you pay for living in and preserving these beautiful and historic buildings and parts of the city.
@@899TK I keep my car parked about 25 minutes walk away outside of the old city, and when I have to bring things to the house, I dash in and out and then take the car away again. It can be difficult and time consuming, but as you say, the price you pay for living in a beautiful place. I don't think anyone is proposing knocking down historic buildings to make more room for cars, but if such places become too difficult for modern living, people will be more reluctant to put the effort into preservation and renovation.
@@juvenalsdad4175 First of all I applaud the measure you are already taking while living in your historic city center. Having the car 25 mins away is a huge inconvenience. It's amazing that you get anything done at all. I am a lazy fat American living in a boring suburb and still think twice about leaving the house with my car parked in my attached garage. I definitely don't have any solutions for the situation. I don't think it's the question of knocking buildings down either, I think the rules of not allowing cars in the city center was put in place because of the exhaust pollution and the sound pollution. I have lived in India, where the history is very poorly preserved even in the historic city centers. The old beautiful buildings are covered in dust, grime, and pollution. There is also a matter of sound pollution for the residents such as yourself. I do not know if the old buildings are soundproof to traffic, so residents might be disturbed by the traffic sounds. Lastly, even most residents like yourself who are living in the city center even though the life is inconvenient, may not like it if the city center loses too much of its character and charm through modernization or increased traffic. Having lived in India and a southern city in the USA that just went through a population boom in the last five years, have seen firsthand how that can take away from the city experience that was originally there.
A pleasant video. I am happy to see something different on your RUclips channel. Of course, I like to keep up with the latest Covid-19 news too, as I want to tour Spain, hopefully next year!
Isn't there a high speed rail service to Zamora now? A pleasant part of the country - I stayed in a town called Benavente a few years back, also in the Zamora province. Good eating and drinking, and a nice atmosphere in summer. I suspect though as you mention, bitterly cold in winter.
@@DuncYo Only in País Vasco (Kale Borroka). Or actually the thugs who set them on fire and and use them as a weapons against the police. In November when there were the antisistema riots in favour of Pablo Hasel, Madrid did something very clever: remove the contenedores so they could not be used as weapons. Also the police surrounded the protesters and made sure they could not do any damage. In Barcelona there were riots for a week, in Madrid 1 day and then on second day it basically ended.
I hear that the UK ex Prime Minister John Major once spent a summer holiday in Candeleda, not too far from Madrid. Do you know it? Would it be a good place for you to make a video?
The best way to find a place is to google the name and then click on maps right above the entry. With "Toro" you have to write Toro, Spain because there are many entries for the word "toro". Toro is between Zamora and Tordesillas, northeast of Salamanca, just off the A11 Autovia and on the Douro River.
Puede que pienses que tu nariz no es un órgano vital, ¡pero de hecho lo es! Para comprender su importancia, todo lo que la mayoría de las personas necesita experimentar es un fuerte resfriado. La congestión nasal y la secreción nasal tienen un efecto notable en la calidad de vida, el nivel de energía, la capacidad para respirar, la capacidad para dormir y la capacidad para funcionar en general. ¿Por qué es tan importante tu nariz? Procesa el aire que respira antes de que entre en sus pulmones. La mayor parte de esta actividad tiene lugar en y sobre los cornetes, ubicados a los lados de los conductos nasales. En un adulto, todos los días pasan por la nariz entre 18.000 y 20.000 litros de aire. Su nariz protege su salud al: Filtrar todo ese aire y retener partículas tan pequeñas como un grano de polen con una eficiencia del 100%. Humidificando el aire que respira, agregando humedad al aire para evitar la sequedad del revestimiento de los pulmones y los bronquios. Calentar el aire frío a la temperatura corporal antes de que llegue a los pulmones. Por estas y muchas otras razones, la función nasal normal es esencial. Hazle un favor a tus pulmones; cuida tu nariz....saludos de Tony (cuenca )

Worried that you were taking a long rest. Great window on Castilla-Leon (IIRC). Try Miranda do Douro in Portugal while you're out there.
More videos like this please, Stew! Lovely little town that we have never heard of. Clean! Looked like you had the whole town to yourself.
Finally you're going back to basics. Most old subscribers miss this type of videos I believe
I think I remember that several kings from before 1500 were born in Toro. also, it wasn't just a city, it was also a big and relevant province.
Thanks Stuart, enjoyed the tour ,rural Spain is 🤗

Su nariz protege su salud al:
Filtrar todo ese aire y retener partículas tan pequeñas como un grano de polen con una eficiencia del 100%.
Humidificando el aire que respira, agregando humedad al aire para evitar la sequedad del revestimiento de los pulmones y los bronquios.
Calentar el aire frío a la temperatura corporal antes de que llegue a los pulmones.
Por estas y muchas otras razones, la función nasal normal es esencial. Hazle un favor a tus pulmones; cuida tu nariz....saludos de Tony (cuenca )
