- SURPRISE VISIT to My Family in SPAIN | Leaving Everything Behind
For the past two years I had it rough... this is why I am putting family first and going back home surprising my whole family for my birthday celebration with this last minute travel plan. I wasn't feeling good and I decided to book a flight from California to Spain to spend time with them. Since I lost my dad is my number one priority is spending quality time with my loved ones. Sometimes I forget how gorgeous is this island and Spain in general. I also explored the island by van but don't forget to subscribe to watch the next episodes!🩷 SUBSCRIBE : / @lidiarico

Hello guys! Did you miss me? I took some time away from the cameras to heal. There is nothing like the love you get from your loved ones, can you agree? Have you ever surprised anyone like this? Are you excited to see where I grew up? Oh by the way did you see that big octopus 🐙? That’s was my favorite part of the video 😝
Happy (belated, April?) Birthday Lidia! You are clearly missed wherever you are not and your family just lit up with excitement. It's very beautiful where you grew up and even more so with your presence. I can't get over how great the beach is and the water, even with the need to watch out for octopi. (I never would have guessed that was the beach surprise.)
We do Miss you
I'm happy to see you. You are such a sweet girl. I would definitely go to visit more often. Such a nice island.
Mmamacita...si te estaba hechando de menos, estaba a punto de mandarte un DM en IG I just had the feeling you were taking a break from everything...wow so nice to meet your mom and your growing up special place; home... gracias por sharing that part of your life. I loved your puppies, nothing like the love of dogs to bring smiles and healing. I hope you are in a much better place, body, mind and soul. Se te quiere montones...hugs...143! ❤️❤️
Ayeeeeeee siiiii thank god you’re back we missed you dearly HAPPY BIRTHDAY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your dad is definitely still with you. My dad died in 09. And his presence is a part of my life everyday.
Yes, I can see him around many times in different occasions. He shows up when I need him the most
So nice to see you smiling and spending time with family!! 😊
😊 thank you Todd!
There's a real lack of videos about Spain, from Spaniards - in English. It would so fun to see you do a series travelling around Spain - showing the diversity of the country, from Santander to Seville!
Yeah that would be amazing! I need to get a van in Spain and hopefully do this soon
Andalusia!
There is a show called Spain….On the Road Again. It aired on PBS back in 2008. It starred Claudia Bassols, Chef Mario Batali, cookbook author Mark Bittman, and Gweneth Paltrow. Basically the four of them drove around Spain in a convertible Mercedes, stayed at luxury hotels, drank top shelf liquor, and ate very well. Currently, I think the only way to watch the entire series is to see it on DVD. Though some episodes are on RUclips.
I love where you grew up and loved seeing the octopus giving you signs from your father. Thanks for reminding us to respect. My mom was also a housekeeper and worked hard. I love your family dogs and can see the love. Visiting Spain is a dream of mine.
Thank you mama 🫂🤍 yeah I feel like being open about some of the issues that comes with the tourism. Bringing awareness is always good. Also that octopus 🐙 was the best sign 🤍🫂
Thanks for taking us along to your home and meet your Mother and Brother 💕 I didn't know you lived on the island so close to beach, that's awesome. But yes I feel you on the tourists, they trash my local beaches too 😡 Haha your white dog sooo funny! And your captions haha. The black one with the rocks too 😆 and the octopus 🐙 scare me for a second hah.
PS- happy birthday again, hope you're enjoying your stay with family. Family is most important thing in world 🤙
Yes family is the most important thing! And oh boy... that octopus scared me for a minute too, I was like what are you trying to do buddy? hahah
Great to see your big smile again. it looks like a beautiful place. Yikes the kraken tried to eat the dog! 😲 I bet your papa used to fire up the grill and eat the Kraken better. Find your happy place Lidia, you deserve it, you know we all love you very much and wish you and your family the very best.
Thanks so much and yes my father used to smash the octopus on the ground and take it home 😝we used to eat octopus 🐙 caught by him all the time
The beach in Spain looks beautiful ❤. Good, you made it safely home and surprised your family. I know they were amazed to see you.
Thank you! 😃
Always happy to see your vlogs. We still support you Lidia, no matter what. Glad you got to go back home and visit your loved ones.. It looks beautiful there! Familia es todo. ✌🤍🐙

Visits like this are very good for the soul, I'm glad you made the trip👍
You are right, my heart needed this 🤍🫂 did you get to see that big octopus 🐙? It was so big 🤣
@@LidiaRico I did, I think they're amazing creatures! Enjoy your precious time with your family to the maximum❤ OMG the bathroom scene! You are so cute😂
@@russeli1941hahah I had too 😂
Love that you surprised your mom (and brother 🙂). Good to go home and spend time with family at your roots, lovely beach, and my wife loves octopus', so that was a GREAT clip and I am glad you had a waterproof camera for shots in the water. Thank you for taking us along.
Glad to hear that you guys enjoyed the 🐙 it was such a nice surprise!

Thank yo use much my dear! Bless you!
Such a nice video, I am glad you could spend some quality time with family 🌻 I hope to see you so happy more often
Thank you so much for not giving up on me! Were you able to see the octopus 🐙?
@10:50min absolute true of the hole “west” I grew up an hour (drive ) east of Vancouver BC Canada, playing outside alday in the forest trails making tree forts/running around from dawn to dusk house door were never locked the only phone between the 5 in my immediate family was two on in the kitchen and one in my parents mast bedroom. My first 10’ish year only has one tv in the family room just off the kitchen; now that little town is impossible to buy a. Multi bedroom house for less that 1-1.5mil!!!! When I was a kid there $150-250k would buy you the biggest/best house in the nabour hood!!!!
Loco!!!
Keep smiling !!! It suite you ❤️
Way cool octopus! Thank you for the beautiful ending footage. Your mother’s flat is beautifully decorated. I loved it!
Yeah that octopus 🐙 was such a blessing to watch! And thank you! Almost everything in that house is hand made by my mom and all the paintings are done by my older sister, she is an artist! 👩🎨 my mom is super creative and she’s the best!
What an amazingly talented family…including you! Thank you very much for sharing your family’s house. 🤗
@@calypsoflowersyou’re so kind ❤ thank you
So cool you surprised them like that:)
Yes! I love doing that!
❤❤❤ So glad to see you in your happy place. We have to remember that's what the ones we love would want for us. Recently lost my closest companion acfourteen years. I can somewhat relate but can't imagine all pain is individual love and hope so that yes, stay strong.
Yes! Thank you!
Happy Birthday Lidia. 🍹🍹🎂
Thank you ❤
It's good to see you starting to be happy again. You deserve it.
Slowly, it’s a day by day thing. Some days I feel normal and others not so much but I already accepted that it’s going to take time and I need to be gentle with myself ❤
Hello Lidia, what a great video, fast editing, great pictures and music. You look fabulous! All the best and best wishes from Austria Andreas 👍🏾💜🫶🏾⚘️
Thank you so much!🤍
Good morning Lidia. I’ve missed you! Great video, love to see you smile

My pleasure ❤😊
Awwww thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, beautiful place in Spain 😍Happy Birthday 🥳🎉🎊🎈🎁🎂🥂🍾💋♥️
Thank you so much for watching!
Lidia
It was so nice to see your home town. Mine is San Diego Ca and I can see way you love it here the beaches pretty similar. What a beautiful place and im so glad to see you happy.
They are similar but I do have to say that when you visit my home town you’ll see it’s nothing like San Diego :)
Hola desde Puerto Rico, lo más rico es llegar a su país de origen y abrazar a su madre, nuestras madres ayudan a sanar heridas. Un abrazo desde la distancia.
Cierto! Es lo mejor siempre!
Que bonito ver el reencuentro con tu familia! A veces es justo lo que necesita nuestro corazon, un abrazo de mami. Me encanto el pulpo tambien! Es mi animal favorito asi que casi lloro de la emocion al verlo. Gracias por compartirlo con nosostros 💖
Siii tienes toda la razón! I si el pulpito fue una sorpresa inolvidable
glad to see a smile on your face. Just remember that it is the little things that matter. Good luck on your venture.
Yes! The daily blessings ❤
Hey Lidia! I love your home city. It's really beautiful, looking forward to seeing more of it. Also, I'm glad to see you so happy! Have a great time with your family.
Thank you Jesse :) Happiness is not linear but yeah I am happy to spend time with my family 😇
Your family is so sweet & I love your pups 🐶!!!
The octopus was trying to help give your pup a bath 😁.
I’m from Hawai’i, I definitely relate to the issues of the negative affects of tourism. In our case it’s American tourists who are SO destructive, entitled and disrespectful to our islands and people. Interestingly, the Japanese tourists we get are awesome, so respectful and kind and friendly, so I know it’s possible to be a good tourist if you’re from a society that teaches and values that… I wish Americans would get the memo.
Yeah when I visited Hawaii I totally felt the same… islands and tourists are a pain we have to deal with! And yes that octopus 🐙 was being sneaky 🤣
Happy Birthday Beautiful girl! ❤
What a nice surprise for your family! They're so happy to see you. The beach is so lovely and the dogs are so sweet!❤ The octopus almost had your dog!😅
Thank you so much!! I knowwwww that octopus was so sneaky! Omg 😱
Too cool!❤@@LidiaRico
Nice to see you again Lidia and where u are from. Prayers that your life gets better. Take care
Thanks so much! Amen 🙏🏽
Great editing Lidia loved the video. I feel the same about Canadians come to Fort Lauderdale,Florida in the winter.
Arrr I can tell... also Baja California Mexico is full of Canadians every winter 🤣 the snow birds need to go hahah
Hola Lidia, que Bello lugar, y me alegro que te tomaste el tiempo para visitar a tu fam.
Muchas gracias 😊 y si la familia es lo primero
Great video! It's always nice to go home and see your loved ones. It's nice to see where you grew up!
Thank you! I’ll be posting more this Sunday! Stay tuned! ❤
@@LidiaRico It's also great to see you smiling again! 🙏❤

Hola rayo de sol
It's good to see you going through life happy again
Visiting family is always good
You should do it many more times
Have Fun and be SAFE
Thank you, I will try :)
It was great seeing where you’re from. It shows the kind of person you are.
Thank you! It felt good to be open about where I come from
Very glad you are ok, I would pop in, and see nothing. NGL I was truly hoping you were ok, and so you are. Hope the fam visit was everything for yah 😊👍🏽
Thanks for checking in :)
You are beautiful inside and out and I see good things coming your way. Stay positive and keep traveling and showing that beautiful smile.
Thank you so much!! Let’s see if I can manifest a good year
Hola lidia!! So happy that you're getting stronger. It's great to have a family that supports you. ❤💓 💕
Thank you so much!! Slowly I’m feeling better. I have ups and downs
Awesome! Octopi have 9 brains one in each arm and a big one in the main body that makes sense of all the info the other 8 are absorbing!!! Super brilliant creation!!!! 😁❤️
Happy Birthday! I’m so happy you went home for your birthday. And the octopus oh my gosh, that was an amazing blessing from the heavens above letting you know that your dad is all right to give you a big smile on your birthday. What a beautiful, small town to grow up in. I hope there’s more videos you can show us around your small town. Either way can’t wait. Wait for your next video.
PeaceAndLove
Lori

Indeed such an amazing part of Spain. Just spend 10 days in may in the west and north part and it was really an incredible discovery ❤❤❤
Couldn't agree more!
Lidia, I’ve been following your journey from gypsytribe to you now back in your homeland. I must say you seem so at peace and emitting a calm, warmth and happiness. Enjoy the next chapter of your story. 🩵💙
I’m only here for some time but yeah I’m trying to find more peace
Beautiful family and place. Enjoy everything while you can.

Thank you so much sweetheart 😇🤍 we’ll catch up soon!!!
Happy belated birthday Lidia they got little worms🥳
Thank you so much sweetheart ❤
Awesome video as always Lidia Rico. It’s so awesome to see you back in the saddle with your adventures. I know that you’ve had a lot of loss in your life recently both your father and Philip but time heals all wounds keep your head held high and keep moving forward. And God Bless you and your wonderful family.
That plane had 2 floors! When I flew from Aus to Uk it was a 21 hours flight on a smaller plane. I didn’t sleep either.
What a beautiful place. Happy Birthday!
Thank you so much sweetheart!
Happy birthday !,,, good to see you back with your family, not a good time to be here in America, too much craziness going on here right now, hope you are able to heal from your sorrows and find happiness !,, good luck in your travels !
So true... the American dreams is becoming the American nightmare!
@@LidiaRico I wouldent come back till after the election and only if Trump wins, you live in a beautiful place, i would think twice about coming back here at all, life is short, spend it close to your family !,,,, make some more videos of your beautiful country !
@@jammerk65 yeah hopefully we can get Tito Trump back in the office hehe
@@LidiaRico The democrats and uni party are destroying America, everyone is selling my country out, the only ones doing better since Biden took office are the illegal aliens !,,, look at what Newsome has done to California with the homeless and high prices, $7 a gallon gas,
How nice to get the chance to go home and recharge a bit. Sorry how tourists can feel entitled to do whatever they want and ignore local customs. I agree - you have a beautiful home there! Stay happy an well!
Thank you! Yes, tourists sometimes are disrespectful and it’s the bad side of surviving of the service sector
🙏 You are such a beautiful soul, I hope you tell yourself that every morning. 🙂
Oh man what a beautiful island! Sad most places like that the economy is run on tourism! Unfortunately some tourists are so disrespectful to the locals and there cultural! Hopefully you can do more videos on your home land I really enjoyed this video thank you for sharing your story.
So sad! But yeah I try to bring awareness and hopefully people is more respectful when they travel :)
❤❤Love it Lidia!!(changed it!! lol) Besitoes 4 ur mom/ bro❤❤!! Awesome vlog!! Stay safe/healthy
!!
Thank you 😊 !! Oh also a little reminder that my name is Lidia :)
It is a good thing to visit home and family. I pray that you are doing and feeling well.
Thank you ❤
Que lindo lugar el de tu infancia, me gustó mucho el vídeo y eres muy amorosa clon los perritos... Espero lo hayas pasado genial...
Aaaah.. Familia muy importante senorita. So glad to see you went home. Enjoy every minute. Remember, the u.s.a. isnt what it used to be. And its getting worse. Days are coming, and true, there are no coincidences. I have considered moving out of here, but all my family is here. So just gonna stick it out. Be blessed Lidia, the Surprise for your Nom was Priceless💚❤️💛🤙🤙🥰🥰
You can always take some long vacations hehe a couple months out of the year
Best vlog ever. Would love to see more of your homeland area.
Thank you! GLAD THAT YOU LIKED IT!
Having a family is a privilege. Spending time with those you love makes all other issues disappear and one realises what the things are that have value. Happy to see a video from you again. What song are you using last in you video please?

Hi Lidia. Happy birthday! I’m from Mission Beach San Diego. You know that place looks like a complete dump after the weekends. Especially during the summer. People don’t have any respect.
Yeah I know… mission bay gets very packed every weekend and then trash everywhere
Lidia Hola from Los Angeles, my amore I really enjoyed your home visit. Mija you made my day, I'm smiling from ear to ear. Como yo quisiera darte un abraso grande. Bests, Rei
Muchas gracias amigo ❤
Where your Mom lives looks so much like San Diego. I totally gety why you like SD....
I disagree a little heheh it’s not very alike but they both beautiful places
Great to see you're doing ok.
Day by day :) it's a slow process
Beautiful place , hope you had a great stay 😊
Thank you so much ❤
Qué ilusión verte en España y escucharte hablando español 😂
Claro que si tío 😂hehe
