just did 6 days andalouise : seville, cordoba and Madrid tour, it is fabulous . historical momuments, food, people . all so lovely . All open and not much tourists from all over the world yet, good period to enjoy the most of these cities . Spain is a great nation . Thanks for your multiple great videos, which assist me a lot in finding tapas spots .

I'm going to Spain in August from South Korea and staying for 2weeks
Of course, Madrid too.
I hope things to go back to normal completely when I arrive.
Thanks for this video, I'm looking forward to this trip:)

I just came back from Madrid with my girlfriend, flying from Germany.
9 lovely days visiting the whole city.
We visited maybe all the places you showed in your videos. The bar "el anciano rey de los vinos" was our favorite.
Nice "rabo de toro" dish with a nice vermut and lovely views to the Almudena and royal palace. Amazing!
Thank you!!

I just wanted to write, and thank you both for this channel. I am Canadian, but grew up on la Costa del Sol ( 1978-1989) and I miss Spain very much. It is neat to see what has changed and what is very much the same. Your channel has been such a great way to show my partner and my kids all about Spain, as we have been unable to travel back for me to show them. We are hopeful to visit in the future and you have given us some great ideas of things to see and do in other parts of Spain. Keep doing your thing, it’s fabulous!

I would like to add my 2 cents to this video. As a resident of Valencia, the city center is open and thriving. There are a lot of restaurants and tapas locations that are open for business. Some are even opened on Sunday. Places may be open in Spain but masks are still required wherever you go. So, keep that in mind. People wear masks while walking outdoors too with the only exception to remove it while drinking or eating. The weather in Valencia has been quite warm so if you are planning to visit, come prepared with comfortable clothes and sunscreen. The fashion here is quite relaxed, but please, no socks and sandals !!! Prepare for a wonderful time here. Spain hasn't lost anything which makes this country unique during the pandemic. The food is still outstanding, the people are still welcoming and the beverages continue to flow. Bon Voyage!

I’m there now in the Canary Islands but Boris needs to turn Spain 💚. The 10 day quarantine and £150 tests putting lots of people off.! I wish you all the luck for tourism to return soon . 🥰

[gisellerivera]

Spain is love. Greetings from Georgia. 🇬🇪

[Elena-Immaculata]

It felt delightful when I saw you were back. I got so exited to see you showing Madrid again💓 Both of you look great and Yoli is so "coqueta" dancing, it was fabulous. Your baby was even dancing. My daughter Fernanda has started Flamenco classes without telling me🇪🇸
I am sure your enthusiasm is so catchy, you'll bring a lot of tourists.
Thank you for this😍

James and Yoly, I love your videos. Your videos helped me plan my first Spain trip back in 2017. I have been a fan since. Thank you for your informative videos, as always. The Pandemic put a pause on my return trip to Madrid, but I hope to visit soon. Stay safe and healthy! Cheers! Saludos from los Estados Unidos. Oh! And you guys now live near were my parents lived! My parents lived in el barrio Concepcion. On my first trip to Madrid, I visited Quintana and Concepcion. Loved the neighborhood vibe. Had my first tinto de verano there. Cheers!

[williamcabot]

Love your passionate work and enthusiasm for this channel. Thank you! Can't wait to take the family back to Madrid and visit all the places you both have talked about in your videos. Question: Is Granada going to be on any of your upcoming videos?

[BPythagorus]

One of the very best episodes of of Spain Revealed. Love it!

[emitch]

Congratulations on expecting a baby!!! Love your videos. Going there in a couple of weeks to stay a couple of months in Madrid. I’d love to run into you guys to say hello!

I've booked an accommodation and flight tickets to Barcelona (in August). If the situation gets worse I'm ready to not go (flight tickets are non-refundable, but I and my wife can live with ~200€ less). There are generally good prices for accomodations right now and they are often refundable up to few days before arrival, which is really great.

My wife and I are flying to Madrid this Friday to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We’ll be on the Devour tapas tour next Monday and going to Las Carboneras next Tuesday, we CANT WAIT!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
