It’s frustration. Many of them have been living in the central area for generations and it’s gone from a local quiet place to a tourist trap nightmare. Add on the fact that people buy apartments there and rent them Out as an air bnb reducing the number of apartments available for long term rental while also increasing the prices way above local salaries and people are just exasperated by it. I think the water pistol episode was a way to get it in the news ( which it did). It’s definitely not a regular occurrence.
Got to say Ed I really think you’ve found your niche, the travel vlogs this year have been class. This one may be the best yet! Great insight. Honest opinions whilst adding your own humour. Quality content
Barcelona’s main sights really are not compatible for last minute trips - well worth the effort to visit though. Sagrada Familia is simply insane inside.
Awesome to see you go somewhere and order something other than a burger that's great personal growth there. Good luck with hitting 100K you deserve that and so much more! 🙂
How does this channel not have a million subs? The quality and personality of this channel surpasses so many other travel channels on youtube. Lets get Ed to a million subs. ❤
The improvement in your editing and mainly the production, crazy. Deserve more subscribers than you have. I feel like you dont get the views you deserve, hopefully soon dude
Hey ed. I'm one of your newish subscribers.. i cant even remember how i came across your channel a few months ago but I'm glad I did and contributed to that 75k. 100k will be a piece of cake for you.
Another wonderful video, Ed. I found the people in Barcelona to be lovely, they're just fed up with the Brits who confuse Barcelona with Benidorm. Congratulaions on the rising number of subscribers, love the t-shirt.
Congrats on 75k Ed 😁 I'm sure when I first started watching you had less than 10k, it's amazing to see your channel going from strength to strength. Well deserved ❤🎉
Another great video with the handsome Ed again - as an older Irish gay man in the U.K. myself, I’d go to Spain for a holiday romance with some of those handsome Spanish men, as I’ve always wanted a Spanish boyfriend - there is a Spanish pop group that is popular among the Spanish gay bear community and I’d probably visit Barcelona during Barcelona gay Pride
Great video! We had the same problem when we went to Parc Guell in May, walked for what felt like miles uphill and then couldn't get in! However it's a stunning city and we'll definitely go back...but book everything in advance this time! I recommend seeing some flamenco dancing. 💃
Flamenco is from Andalusia. What you'll get in BCN will be tourist tat that doesn't respect local cultural traditions. This is why tourists are not popular.
Loving the tourist T-shirt 🤣🤣Barcelona looks amazing. Loving the growth of this channel, it shows hard work pays off, and I absolutely love the videos. Have a great Friday and weekend Ed.
Brings back memories of a collage art trip. We were suppose to go to the gaudi cathedral but got too drunk the night before - ended up trying to find it ourselves and going around a completely different cathedral with all the locals looking at us wired. Good times :)
The stock market pub takes me back to uni days, we used to do these stock market nights at our local 😅 no screens just chalkboards behind the bar, you could get pretty drunk on a tenner 👌🏻 I feel like this is also the video where we discover that Ed actually has a palate beyond beige food 🤭
Those stock market bars are fun once or twice, but I find when you are there you are just constantly looking at the prices. There was one in Austin, TX for a while and it eventually it went out of business (most bars do) because people don't like being unsure of what they will pay. Also you don't order what you want because other things are priced better. Not the type of place you want to spend 2 hours.
Simon Wilson has skint clothing now Ed Chapman has ‘tourist’ clothing 🤣🤣 erotic museum, cats testicles, parks closed to wind and Ed getting constantly annoyed 🤣🤣 this is a quality Ed video tbf 🤣🤣🔥🔥
Ed, theres many websites were you can buy tickets on the day to get into places. I walked up to Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam was was turned away as it was sold out, looked online and bought a ticket to an exhibition in the museum and got entry. Same at the Musee de Orsay, sold out for weeks. But not online on reseller websites. It appears the trick with the Sagrada Familia is to buy a 'fast track ticket'. Which is €34 compared to the €26 normal admission.
tapas is small plates of Spanish food like Jamon Serrano,Tortilla Española,Patatas Bravas,Calamares fritos and many more haha chinese food is a little different and does not count.
Oh lord. When I heard you were going to park gruel on the bike - I scoffed and said it all uphill- he won’t cycle that 😂 Our first trip we went to Sagrada familla- couldn’t get in… did ur hike to the park and couldn’t get in, both sold out. Then go bus back to city centre and almost got crushed, got off after 2 stops!! Still a fab city!
I liked the Dow Jones bar. I'd say Spain has the best bar culture in the world. There's one in Sevilla that has taps on your table and you pour yourself. A massive screen tells you how much you've drunk and how much you owe.
Englishman living in Barcelona here, the Catalans get such a bad rap. I think they are super friendly and warm even if their manner can seem a bit rough and ready.
To be honest, I’d say Catalonians are hard work, a bit overly proud and dare I say, obnoxious. Barcelona as a city is decent for a one time trip but not really worth revisiting.

Congrats on 75K subscribers Ed :) Keep up the great content.
thank you :)
I’m from the U.K., and I’ve lived in Barcelona for 6 years. The locals don’t hate tourists but do hate the drunk vomiting morons that come over.
So why harass just plain old tourists with kids etc?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think their tactics are a bit skewed
It’s frustration. Many of them have been living in the central area for generations and it’s gone from a local quiet place to a tourist trap nightmare.
Add on the fact that people buy apartments there and rent them
Out as an air bnb reducing the number of apartments available for long term rental while also increasing the prices way above local salaries and people are just exasperated by it.
I think the water pistol episode was a way to get it in the news ( which it did). It’s definitely not a regular occurrence.
Ok so... Did they not try the government first? I'll assume they did because no one is that stupid surely?
@@antifugazi the Catalan government started taking air BnB licences away and have fully stopped granting more in response to all the protests.
The growth of your channel this year has been amazing and well deserved
Got to say Ed I really think you’ve found your niche, the travel vlogs this year have been class. This one may be the best yet! Great insight. Honest opinions whilst adding your own humour. Quality content
I could not agree more, thanks Ed!
Only ED gets away with wearing a T-shirt with the word tourist on it😂 a cracking video Barcelona looks a great place to visit
😂
@@lisabrigden8505😊
Barcelona’s main sights really are not compatible for last minute trips - well worth the effort to visit though. Sagrada Familia is simply insane inside.
That was a fast moving and totally engaging video, it's clear how you have earned 75K+ subscribers.
27:26 ffs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Do we need a bird's and the bee's conversation.
All cats are females and all dogs are males, that's just how it is

Good luck with hitting 100K you deserve that and so much more! 🙂
Not just a cracking video, 60% off hello fresh! What a Brucey bonus that is
Well done for not being water pistolled as well 😂
Our student union used to do bar FTSE meaning some alcohol not being bought became super cheap! Best times EVER!

Had a random guy shout abuse at me foaming from the lip because I took a photo of a building 😂 said okay mate and walked off
If it was in Spain, there is Freedom of Panorama. Otherwise check the Wikipedia page :

Another great video thanks Ed.
A very cultured experience.
As always, love your honesty!
Looking forward to seeing what you do next x
9:33 that transition was so clean dude

Definitely the T shirt to launch your merch empire 😁👍
Oh Edward! Congrats on 75k + ....How about a 'I have 10 days to get to 100k challenge' ?!! 😉

Gutted there wasn’t a soap personality check in the hotel.
Discovering this channel is so comforting after the year I've had. Love the content sir keep it up :)
Great content again. Look forward to the next
How you're channel has grown since i first subbed, always do like your sense of humor and your videos ain't to bad either 😄
Loving the tourist T-shirt 🤣🤣Barcelona looks amazing. Loving the growth of this channel, it shows hard work pays off, and I absolutely love the videos. Have a great Friday and weekend Ed.

i see so many places that i instantly recognise from the Tony Hawk Underground 2 level. It's crazy how accurate they got it
The bed with my partner is permanently shut to me for the same reason as that park
Best personality. On the internet.
Love your content Ed - also, love your editing. I always get strong Brilliant Kid vibes from the Fast Show.
Hello 👋 Ed
New subscriber here. Great content and extremely funny. Love your British humor 😊
Fun fact Barcelona was pretty postive about tourist until Ed turned up
you were nt amused?
The stock market pub takes me back to uni days, we used to do these stock market nights at our local 😅 no screens just chalkboards behind the bar, you could get pretty drunk on a tenner 👌🏻
I feel like this is also the video where we discover that Ed actually has a palate beyond beige food 🤭
Hi Ed lol your channel.iv been house bond infection leg and foot.you make me laugh like you're honest.and like watching your travels🤗😅
Great vid Ed , keep them coming. i liked the Dow Jones bar( capitaliism on a life support system) lol
love the video's mate keep it up
Great video Ed 👍
Loving the travel vlogs!
29:55 ahh we’ve found what the cat was taking 🤣🤣🤣
Love the T-shirt - skipped the hello fresh vid - seems to eventually end up on most popular you tube bloggers now!

I really hope you go to New York. Would love to see your video there! As always love your videos 💪
Watching this with my takeaway on the duvet 😁😁😁😁
Loving the vids mate keep it up .
I went here about 7 years ago and went inside the cathedral it is really nice hopefully next time you can go in lol
I’ve been Barcelona so many times never had any issues there love that place going back soon
That Tourist T-shirt is inspired. I'd buy one!
8:22 Lots of history to discover in Coventry. You should visit!
Also, hello from Coventry! 🐘 🚗 🩵
The statue outside the museum is a big Kaws doll, they are basically a hypebeasts dream and are mad expensive 😅
Line of the video…
Gaudi…these days lol
Doing TikTok dances & have a Lego channel
Fantastic Ed… always magic….❤
Yes Edward. Trust loyalty reward…. Satisfaction. Yeah. Be true to yourself and others will be true to you. Yeah.
Treat them greatly, they will show themselves to be great.

Barcelona looks quite chilled out. I've heard its dodgy but don't think its as bad as what some people make it out to be.
The T-shirt made me laugh 😂😂😅
28:18 that is a statue made by the artist Brian ‘Kaws’ Donnelly. He helped design Kanye West’s 808s and heartbreak album cover
It’s taken 3 weeks to get a thank you and here I am saying thank you!
Nothing better than when ed pilkington is on his holidays 🏖️
I adore going abroad to study the arch holes. No 2 holes the same, an education in architectural gaping
I'll let you off with the Coventry jibe this once as your from Leeds.. and we'll need a say anymore 😂😂
30:05 cool, Trippy ❤️ and dangly thing's 😅🤣
tapas is small plates of Spanish food like Jamon Serrano,Tortilla Española,Patatas Bravas,Calamares fritos and many more haha chinese food is a little different and does not count.
9:35 clean transition Ed!
One of my fav cities, beautiful architecture
For me yes inside is fantastic and when i want you could get tickets on the day but know you have to book a long time in advice.
Oh lord. When I heard you were going to park gruel on the bike - I scoffed and said it all uphill- he won’t cycle that 😂
Our first trip we went to Sagrada familla- couldn’t get in… did ur hike to the park and couldn’t get in, both sold out. Then go bus back to city centre and almost got crushed, got off after 2 stops!! Still a fab city!
Ed in the San Marino top every holiday is legendary
Tourist! The brand new autumn collection by Ed Chapman!
You should do it! I bet they’d sell!
Hell, I’d buy one! Oh, great film too by the way!👍👏👏👏❤
I liked the Dow Jones bar. I'd say Spain has the best bar culture in the world. There's one in Sevilla that has taps on your table and you pour yourself. A massive screen tells you how much you've drunk and how much you owe.
Spain: food gives you the shits…..wind closes the parks 😂
I bet they just hate Brits in football shirts when there's no football on! And they'd be right 😂
Imagine finding a shower head the same colour as your hair now that’s impressive 😂
Englishman living in Barcelona here, the Catalans get such a bad rap. I think they are super friendly and warm even if their manner can seem a bit rough and ready.
@@davidblenkinsop8676 fellow Englishman living in Barcelona too. 💯 agree 👌
radicals as in all country me too spain 30 yrs fuerteventura
To be honest, I’d say Catalonians are hard work, a bit overly proud and dare I say, obnoxious. Barcelona as a city is decent for a one time trip but not really worth revisiting.
Went on a stag do to Barcelona 8 of us. 5 of us got pick pocketed from a watch to a phone. They are very sneaky and very good at it!
Maybe "Tourist : Sorry" for the merch :D
Congratulations on 75k onwards to the silver play button at 100k
Would love to see you go to Thailand and explore the wild side rhere or is it wild 🤔🤣
Is that the fountain that plays lights to music at night? Went there years ago.
No, the one with the lights is la fuente mágica de Montjuic.
Been planning a Barcelona trip for next year, if it gets Ed's seal of approval then it's good enough for me
You should :) its a great place to visit
I'd definitely buy a tourist tee, fantastic stuff!
I was there a couple years ago, I found it a bit rough and not the cleanest and Madrid is much better you should experience the city for what it is
I wish I was in Spain it’s horrible in England it’s raining 🌧️
You in that room of mirrors spinning around gave very Bladerunner vibes.

5 euros for 6 hours! That's 15 mins on a lime bike here
Ed: “This is where I fell in love with taking pictures”
The British minder: “it’s not that deep I just liked the picture that I took”
Lol £10, I'd agree 2 but our heritage sites start at around £15
Was mopeds everywhere there 25 years ago, hardly any cars.
the big cylinder hotel next to the fat cat has a free roof top 360 viewing deck for the next time you go
As a member of the Prawn Community UK division, we are very offended
Weed is legal in Barcelona now i believe. Did you see many coffee shops(weed caffe) and did it smell of ganja?😂
