Brilliant video. Just one correction. I believe that border controls were done until 1992 when they introduced the Schengen treaty in Spain. I'm not 100% sure tbh but I think so.

awesome!! Loved this. I did a documentary on Melilla last year for mY Vox Borders series. Really interesting stuff!

Freedom units were meant as a joke but the funny thing is they gave me a better idea of the island’s size than the metric units lmao.

Although he speaks fast to some people, he does enunciate well. right ? I'd rather have him speak that way than have to watch four times longer video. There are people that speak this fast or faster and you can't understand. He was clearly speaking I think.

I love how you are so excited! You keep speaking how you speak and doing your thing! Awesome job!

Spain and France fighting over Isla de los Faisanes: "It's ours!" "No, ours!"

Spain and France fighting over nearby Hamburger Restaurant: "It's yours!" "No, yours!"

Not sure why everyone are complaining about the speed, I watched the video in 1.25x speed and understood everything perfectly lol
Also a great and informative video, keep it up 👍🏻

4:15
I am watching on August 1, so that means France have just today regained control of the island

I am originally from Spain and have to say that you did a great job with your research. Keep these vids coming. They're very informative. Cheers!

9:25 "One of Europes only exclaves"
Germany with its 6 exclaves and Italy with its exclave in Switzerland: "Helo?"

Netherlands and Belgium with its border mess: "ayyo bruh"

[truiteteam]

Search : Belgium and Nederlands borders... it's just amazing, some house/doors are between both countries ! no joke.

As a spanish speaker i can confirm that we can understand portuguese well but as you said portuguese speakers can understand spanish even easier for some reason, it is pretty cool

I thought everyone knew about Gibraltar.

There is a zip line between Spain and Portugal which I found an amazing experience and a way of crossing a border (and a time zone) between two countries :) Tom Scott did a great video on it .

[jennjeff]

WoW! That is a fascinating geography briefing on Spain's 5 borders! You also saved the most interesting for last....the 18 meter border.

[ashleyashleym]

I'm Portuguese (my first language is English though) and I was actually warned not to take Spanish in school because I was told it would mess up my Portuguese. I didn't listen, took Spanish anyway and yep it messed up my Portuguese so now I can speak Spaortuguese lol I mix the languages up because I often forget which words and pronunications belong to which language.

[AndreyAngulo]

wow! that was a very productive geography lesson in only 25 minutes! I learned a lot of interesting stuff here, very well done!

[jp]

I'm always been fascinated by Spain

People in comments have said about him talking too fast, I recommend playing it at 75% speed.

[SofaKingShit]

My good fellow, you could be a horse-race commentator or a horse auctioneer with that rate of speech. It's like you don't even have to pause for breath. Very impressive.
