I was pretty depressed when our first dinner was bad. But in the end I think it was good to show that we're not superhuman Spain experts! Hope you all enjoyed the video! Next week we're off to the mountains of Madrid :)
Thank you for taking the hit for us! Your sacrifice for good film making is duly noted.
How unlucky you were as in Galicia almost every seafood restaurant is as good as the second one or it closes.
Wow really missed this .
No octopus like the Carballiño octopus.
I'm so sorry you guys had a bad experience at the first restaurant but hey, things happen, they could have treated you better! You might not be perfect (just sometimes) at choosing a restaurant but that's just because we aren't either. Fortunately you finally found a place that seemed to pay off and the first restaurant owner will freak out when he realizes the magnificent chance he missed!
About 15 years ago, my wife and I moved to Arzua and it was just a magical time. We loved it because it was exactly like England, but in Spain. Six years ago we decided to move to Catalunya so that we could enjoy the sunshine and Mediterranean lifestyle. And we never regretted that move. But Galicia is still close to our hearts.
Amo Galicia y amo a los gallegos, I'm very grateful to them for welcoming me as an immigrant from Argentina
A Gallego in Galicia;).
I have Argentinian relatives. The friendliest people I know. On par with Filipinos as the friendliest.
Loving this Paradors series. Another one for the list
I love Galicia and can't wait to go back. We were in Ribadeo when I had my first taste of pulpo. I didn't speak much Spanish and I asked the waiter what pulpo was. He looked at me with incredulity and tried to help me understand. I couldn't. Finally, in frustration he shouted, "Cefalopodo!" I ordered it and I was hooked. Thanks for your great videos. Stay safe.
Pulpo is the most underrated Spanish dish.
Great content - I could have watched an hour of that - so many interesting places and your energy is contagious!
Thanks Mike!
I totally wish these videos were longer! I love getting lost in Spain with you guys
Hala Madrid!
Portugal is just an extension of Galicia. The kingdom of Galicia existed before Portugal was born as an independent country.
Fun fact, Rias Biaxas has the highest percentage of women winemakers in the world. Albariño one of my favourite wines in the world!
I'm so glad that you finally decided to venture into Galicia my native homeland
You're right, Gallegos are very friendly so you are welcomed to stay forever
And don't be put off by the rain, it's winter after all, in spring and summer doesn't rain that much and as you well said that green beauty comes at a price.
You two are at your very best in this and the previous video about Galicia. Very warm vibrant colours from your camera at night in interior location which is not easy so a big thumbs up as well for that camera work
Of course in Galicia they have the best seafood. If I could, I would visit all the Paradores in Spain, haha. There is a very famous albariño from the Rías Baixas called Mar de Frades with a very original label. The label is sensitive to temperature and when the temperature of the bottle is around 10-11˚, a little blue drawing of a galleon sailing appears on the front label, indicating that the wine is ready to drink, if the temperature is The higher the wine, the hotter the wine, the drawing of the galleon disappears from the label.
How clever!
It happens when you travel and explore the area. You get hits and misses. I like these videos. Good to know to travel other parts of Spain 🇪🇸 that are special.
Beautiful! Thank you for keeping us all in touch with Spain....I so miss traveling♥️
Thanks Melina --- I'm glad the videos are helping keep you connected!
Our government has failed us Bitcoin is the future invest in it now.
You two were really nice about the bad meal. You could have raked that place over the coals, but you chalked it up to just a bad night. That was very good of you.
I am raging jealous! Keep your wonderful videos coming. You’re helping many of us during this 2020 nightmare and our thoughts and prayers are with our friends in Spain and in solidarity.🇨🇦
I have never been more envious of your food and drink choices than at the restaurant A Meca. I really must see Galicia. Another triumph. Thank you both. xx
You have to get there mate!
12:52 There are some beautiful beaches on the Illa de Arousa! I love going to the ones dotted around the south of the island, as they are part of a protected nature park. They really are stunning!
How exciting
You guys really compliment each other. James with the lively commentary and Yolie with her awesome smile, translating and Spainish cultural support. And seriously with these high definition monitors, that seafood looked like you could reach out and share a piece, or two. Thanks for the video.
I know so well, what you guys are talking about ! Galicia is pure paradise when it comes to seafood and much more !!!
My boyfriend and I are coming to Spain in September 2021 and I have become obsessed with your channel! It will be my tenth time visiting Spain, his first, so I am really wanting to help to make his visit wonderful. I became a member and so enjoy the great enthusiasm and advice and humor! Graciás!
Thanks so much for becoming a member, Kellie! How exciting that you're coming in September 2021!
@@ymartinmendieta Yes!! Hopefully life will be a little more "normal" in September. You two are wonderful to watch!
Great work guys! Thank you for sharing you wonderful experience! Love you both!💜
La tierra más hermosa del mundo!!
Great video as usual! Yoli, Galicia is always beautiful. You just have to learn how to enjoy it differently in every season :)
Jimmy and Yolli, we need a video on Santiago de Compostela
I hear there is a nice Parador up there... hehe
@@spainrevealed one of the nicest, also not the cheapest one 😂. It would be amazing to see you exploring my hometown 😍😍
Loved your trip to Galicia, especially the Albariño vineyard. I also appreciated the fact that you included a restaurant that got a not so great review.
Another great video in my favourite province. Perhaps A Coruna next time?? Seriously good work guys.
Hola chicos, que alegría veros,disfrutad de Galicia.
We were planning to cruise around Spain. Cancelled. Maybe fly into Madrid and road trip to the same hotels and definitely try the seafood in Galicia. Love octopus!
Loved the decorated cemetery
I love your videos guys!! it's always a pleasure to watch them!!! 🙌
That’s what I love about Spain, every Region has its very own culture and language! Can’t wait to come back!! Will you guys explore Mallorca in the near future? ;)
Awesome Video James & Yoly! This gives me so much optimism to travel internationally in the future. The city winery sequence had me reviewing my for my pending WSET Level 3 exam factoids of Rias Baixas region and Albariño in my head. 🙃😃
Thanks a lot for another great video! And the food at the last place is so delicious!:)
It really was!
Gracias for letting us explore Spain with you. Can you show us on a map when you travel to new places?
I have been wanting to visit Spain, Madrid, for a long time. Just found your channel, & love it. Thank you for a great series. I will certainly book your tour when I come to Spain. Love from Vancouver, Canada.
That island food looked amazing. Razor clams - my favourite and paired with an albariño- perfection!!!
Bello Cambados,Nuestra Ría de Arousa.Enjoy It!!
I love that you’re keeping it real!
Love your videos! My grandparents are from Galicia and I can’t wait to go and visit. Stay Safe!!!
Como vayas te puedes crear el riesgo de tener la necesidad de regresar en un periodo continuo. Te lo digo por experiencia de andaluz que no puede concebir desde hace ocho años otra luz de verano que la de Galicia aún con tanto y extraordinario en el mundo... Para min encataime o mundo mais a cadeira onde vou a sentar e lembrar que fermoso é Sempre esta en Galiza
I just started my maternity leave and am waiting for baby to arrive and in an attempt to distract myself I found your youtube channel so sorry for all of the comments!! I live in between Cambados and Illa de Arousa so I loved every second of this video!! The wine bar you guys visited Ribera de fefinans is a favourite of ours. We've been meaning to try the Porto do Son restaurant ever since we arrived two years ago, and can't wait to tell my partner about your experience because we're honestly so curious about the place. And A Mecca on the Illa is our favourite, there and Saratoga. We try to treat ourselves once every couple months to a meal in A Mecca and we bring all our visitors there 😀
Qué buen video James y Yoli. Muchas gracias.
Loved the video and your being truthful!! Thank you! Still great to watch! 🥰🤩
Thank you Alicia!
OMG that seafood at the last restaurant looked amazing...I was drooling. You guys are in a great area. Feeling homesick for Galicia 😢
Took me some time to catch up with the latest videos!
Y después de esta experiencia os queda una mejor y mayor :ir de furanchos. Los furanchos son bodegas familiares que sirven vino joven en tazas de porcelana amplias o cuncas, en galego, en una zona abierta de una casa particular y puedes acompañarlo con comida hecha en la cocina de la casa ;normalmente raxo, zorza, tortilla, pimientos del Padrón, churrasco o pulpo. La temporada abre a partir de marzo o abril y cierran los más tardíos en Julio.
Y hay algunos de los exteriores de Cambados con unas vistas excelentes de La costa y los viñedos.
Espero haberos animado a grabar esto.
Sí! Estuve mirando, pero tuvimos que dejarlo para otra ocasión...
I’ve been enjoying many of your videos. I can’t wait to get back when times normalize a bit. Now I have plenty of new ideas thanks to your videos. 😊
Since my country of birth is Panama, a narrow country that easily lets you enjoy both the Atlantic and Pacific ocean, I am familiar with living in an area where seafood is plentiful and dishes of fresh caught items are quite delicious. I suppose that is why my favorite food has always been seafood. And due to the fact that my favorite beverage is wine, I wouldn't want to easily leave this area of Galicia. I could see myself staying there for several days. I've visited the city of Porto in Portugal (besides Lisbon) and it is quite nice to see again the tiles on the facade of buildings. The scallops at Meca looked amazing. I would have face-planted on that dish. Once again, great video! Oh, yeah. . . I've definitely given up on adding cities in Spain to my bucket list. It is now just "Spain" because I want to go everywhere, including the Canary and Balearic Islands.
Our government has failed us Bitcoin is the future invest in it now.
Thank you for showing my “terriña”. All the best and keep the videos coming
Sorry to see that you guys had a bad experience in my region. Sadly these kind of places are not unheard of in the more touristic corners of the Galician coast and prey on unsuspecting tourists (both national and foreign) with unclear pricing schemes, mediocre products and eye watering bills, I hope it was at least not too expensive. Fortunately you found a much better place the next day to carry a good memory back home! :)
Finally, no pork (the delicious looking chuletas on the previous video were an omen)!! there is hope still lol (I have a lot of trouble digesting pork even though it is delicious and I LOVE seafood), great video you guys. I also want to make a special mention about that first restaurant experience, we really don't know how covid has upended that managers life, and stress well, it can make you act in a weird way so, let us keep that in mind (he truly seemed in a state of hyper-vigilance, a clear indicator of massive stress) just food for thought
I'm from Galicia, just near Santiago de Compostela, would love to show you this beautiful city if you're up to it!
Really lovely video guys, we loved it. Thanks
Great video very tasty looking food. Thank tou for sharing very enjoyable
¿El mejor marisco de España?
Del mundo...
ohhh!! Habéis estado tan cerca de donde vivo y yo sin enterarme! Soy una fan de vuestro canal, me encanta viajar con vosotros. Saludos desde Vilagarcía de Arousa, en la Ría de Arousa, cerquita de Cambados. Besitos.
Always beautiful. Galicia. I'm really miss cee, muxia, fisterra .
Just amazing 👏 😍 the food looks divine 😋 😍
Galicia es preciosa😍👍
It certainly is
Guauuu! Qué buena pinta tiene todo, qué envidia dais!!!
I think the first food place the guy just missed people as the city looked empty. So glad you guys had a better experience in the second place. As always, I wish your videos were longer because they are always informative and I feel like I'm there with you. Keep up the great work you guys.
I love Galícia. So green! I've walked Camino de Santiago in 2016 and those forests were amazing! And galician seafood is superb! Why don't you make a video about Santiago de Compostela? I'm enjoying a lot your videos :)
Great adventure! The sea food looks really fresh and delicious! Pity it is not possible to try its taste! Thank you, guys! Come to Cantabria next! And Asturias.
Lovvvvvve your videos! Will be in Spain for 2 to 3 months April - June 2022 and will definitely take some tours with Devour! Felicitaciones with your daughter! Saludos desde, Curacao Dutch Caribbean! :) :)
Fantastic video as always👍
James has anyone ever told you
that you look like the Spanish footballer Nacho Monreal.
i loooove the wine he tasted. its from a brand called pepa la loba
love your videos and your energy.
Great video! Saludos!
Love all your videos guys..enjoy the paradores videos
Still can't get used to the fact how empty the streets are
It was pretty cold to be honest, but yes, certainly covid had an impact
Great video, wish I was there to eat that fantastic seafood, the best Navajas and clams in the world
How did I miss this video....loved it.
A veces, cuando no tengo muchas ganas de comer y es la hora, me pongo un vídeo vuestro y me entra el hambre enseguida... ;)
P.S. Un restaurante vacío, caro y con un dueño raruno es una pesadilla, no tan lejana de Jaws...
...¡Qué rrrrrricoooo!!!!...
✨🐙🐚🐄🍖✨
GALICIA CALIDADE👏👏
Cambados,Galicia looks like an interesting place to visit. I wonder if you traveled to the Canary Islands,& experienced the history,culture, & food there.
Some of my best meals ever have been in the Paradores of Spain!
You know the food is good when it looks like Yoly is dancing flamenco (with her arms) at every bites... :-)
I always enjoy your informative and entertaining videos from Hungary, besitos 😘
i've been to A Coruna, Vigo, and SdC. I agree, the fish and crustaceans are great. Zamburinyas and Percebes are overrated in my opinion and my favorite shrimps so far have been from Motril. Can't wait till I return the next time! :D
The first weekend of August is the Albariño festival that lasts 5 days
I checked the weather in Cambados today: 13 degrees with a promise of 16 later this weeK. So jealous. We’re at 7.....
Tremendo A Fonte do Viño, el vino Pepa a Loba y un grande Álvaro.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Maybe next year, if we ever get out of lockdown.
Thank you for my virtual dinner and adventures.
Even the most prolific travellers sometimes get it wrong, ita all part of the journey and makes you appreciate the good choices!
What a shame that I visited Cambados before the pandemic and did not try Fefifanes Albariño! I stayed at a parador at the city center and it was magical 🧝♂️ definitely will visit Galicia again on my next trip to Spain 🇪🇸 do you recommend to go in September? Incredible videos! Congrats. Salud! 🍷
Great video (as always)!
If you go to Padron, eat at Casa Dos Martinez (great dinner and service by owner, but dont be late or he will admonish you!); everything great, including carrillada and tomato salad (corazon de buey)
If you go to Santaigo, cant miss Casa Marcelo (best, and just let the waiter pick your food) they have a chinese place a couole doors down (#25) - great dumplings
For the simplest, freshet ad cheapest seafood, go to mercado de abastos, buy your seafood raw and take it to Meson Hispano right in front and they will cook it for you for about $6-8 per person (no kidding! Get a live centollo and prepare to have the best meal!)
Around the mercado you have at least 4 great restaurNt places, including 2.0, Lume, and cafe de altamira. Hanging out at rua de Franco, go to Meson 42.
Cheers y un abrazo desde Puerto Rico!
I am addicted to seafood..I think I need to make this restaurant my next place of visit when I am in Spain
Beautiful place. I was never a fan of octopus, it was always to rubbery for me. But this one looked pretty tasty. Maybe I will give it a try next time when I come to Spain.
Bitcoin is the future invest in it now
Your videos are great even when things go wrong!
Thanks Jeannine!
Beautiful.
thank you for your video,be safe,be careful~
Thank you!
You two are ultra adorable (sorry, but it’s true)! Your videos make me want to visit Spain, but also appease my wanderlust during Covid-times. So, thank you.
Thank you Kari!
Can’t wait to go back. Love watching your content❤️best wishes from Shellharbour Australia xx
Great video of a region I've yet to visit but has been on my bucket list for some time now. What a fantastic looking place. Wales, Ireland and Galicia share more than our Celtic roots and traditions. Our beautiful green landscapes enjoy the wind and occasional drop of rain shall we say. Every coastal region of Spain claims to be the 'Seafood' capital but Galicia has a strong claim I think. Despite the supposed popularity of fancy shellfish it remains extraordinarily expensive and the property of the rich. Seriously, percebes (barnacles), are just not worth it. However, regular prawns, squid, muscles and clams are still great value. I love Spanish food but of all the great meals I've had throughout Spain I've had to endure plenty of overpriced and weird experiences. Your meal at the end looked sensational and proves the point with regards to variety. You do stick your neck out a bit when it comes to seafood but when it's good it can be great and memorable indeed. Besides fish and seafood on the coast of Spain is a must. My best experiences of top quality, non Michelin star, seafood have been in Cadiz, Sanlucar de Barremeda, Comillas and a seaside restaurant on the road to Nerja where they serve an awesome arroz con mariscos with Mediterranean sea views to die for.
You are right about the pricy food. When you come to Galicia is cheaper than in other regions if you know where to go. But many places nowadays have tourist prices. This also happens because as the seafood arrives it is already sold to other parts of Spain or to other countries. Some locals try to buy them before the prices go too high but nowadays it is mostly impossible. You have to remember that the fish and seafood is sold by bidding on it. And those who ofer the better price are the ones that get it.
@@guillermomaita2624 Good info Guillermo. I get fresh prawns in Velez Malaga and they are so good and the best value you can think of. Good mussels are very cheap too if you cook them at home. (I think the Spanish overcook them - 30 seconds of heat is it.) Anything that's beyond the great value clams, prawns. mussels becomes very highly priced and treated as gourmet food. I see many Spanish tourists as well as international ones paying big bucks for seafood which is not presented in an interesting way. I'm an old hand so I know what to look for and recognise any overpriced offer.
Ven a Galicia y disfrutarás de esta joya en el noroeste de la península ibérica.
Lo siento hermanos españoles, pero los pescados y mariscos gallegos no tienen comparación. Ah, y la carne de la ternera gallega.
We had a similar experience in Lisbon a couple years ago. We followed the vloggers and internet ratings to an hour’s long wait outside a crowded seafood restaurant. The large prawns were displayed with pride as a frozen clump inside a metal container better suited to display gelato. We were seated at a long table cafeteria style next to other tourists. I was talked into a crab dish of mush that was inedible. The waiter didn’t argue when I told him I refused to pay for it. Living in South Florida I’m used to eating fresh snapper, dolphin, and stone crab. It doesn’t compare to the seafood in Spain, but I do understand what fresh smells and tastes like and what tourist traps feel like. I hate it when I get duped into an expensive bad meal.
Yeah, it's very frustrating when it happens. But it happens, as long as it doesn't become the rule
Dolphin?!
Sigh! I love Galicia!
Galicia, albarino, vieiras, navajas, zamburinas, caldo gallego, almejas...cuanto me echa de menos Galicas. Gracias por el video!!
It scares me when I walk into a restaurant and no one else is there... Looks like an awesome place to visit in Summer when it's a bit warmer
Fair call Jimmy!
I thought the big clams were called St. Jaques
You know all those friendly Gallegos that want to talk to you on the street? Ask them where to eat.
