    Very enjoyable. I’m sure you’ll have a great time. I’m half Spanish but haven’t been there for ages so it’s nice to see it, although I don’t remember Barcelona being quite so covered in graffiti.
    On your way down to Benidorm there’s a picturesque little town called Peñiscola (pronounced penyeescola) which has a nice old town and castle perched on a hill jutting out into the sea. It was used in the film El Cid with Charlton Heston. There’s also Denia and Altea which are nice places. And Valencia of course.
    If you’re sitting at a table in a bar or cafe don’t have your phone on the table and keep feet in bag handles so nobody can slide them away.
    What happened to London day two? Did you not film anything?
    Looking forward to see where you get to next.

    Cracking video of a flight and first night in Spain on one's hollibobs. I must admit one thing England does better than Spain is a right proper doner kebab after a few beers. First Doner I had in Spain(Mallorca) they put cream on it 😫 ..not chilli sauce. Liked the bar Marcella,atmospheric,Spanish culture.

It will be my 6th time in Barcelona and the fifth time we will have stayed there. Wonderful view from the roof-top bar overlooking the roof of Gaudi's Guell palace. We also visited Hemminway's bar off Las Ramblas and I guess you'll be visiting the Sagrada Familia. Keep up the good work guys and I'm looking forward to the full day in Barca video.

    Great video as always, thank you so much! Last summer I flew from Newquay to Manchester and back the same day and hired a car from the airport. I absolutely hated Manchester airport. The shuttle busses from the planes were horrible, we were crammed in like sardines. Not being funny, but there were large groups of aggressive/loud young bearded men with white dresses and flip flops shouting in their native language in the airport which was not nice. Such a shock comparison from Newquay airport. I was so glad to get back to Newquay later that evening. Never again.
