My wife and I just got back from a trip to Spain (such a weird time to travel!), but we took advantage of the relatively smaller crowds to visit Barcelona and to take a Devour Tour. I just wanted to take a second to say how wonderful it was. Even with us being seasoned Spain travelers and history-and-culture nerds we still learned a fair amount and it was a great opportunity to have more personal contact in some locations we would not necessarily have tried on our own. And the guide, Valentina, was fantastic.

Well hello there James !!!! Good to see 👀 👌 one of your lovely videos!!!!
I'm studying abroad in Madrid in Spring 2022!! So happy I've found your videos- they've been so helpful!!
Ahhh the memories. Bar Toboggan is where we met Yoli and yourself, so it's straight away one of our favorites. Went for a Sunday morning pre Rastro walk and saw both Terraza Collins and the terraza on Calle de la Moreria with the view. Can't wait for our chance to get back. Fully vaxed and ready to go. Just waiting for the Australian government to relax our borders. In the meantime, thanks again for all the videos and info. We're sending all our love and best wishes to you and your lovely wife for the upcoming birth of your daughter.

Moving to Spain from the US in October! I've been watching your videos to prepare. Can't wait 😁 Congrats on the baby!
Had my first small dinner party with non family members since Jan 2020 (fully vaxed) and I did a Spanish tapas theme. For one dish I used your Gambas recipe. It was a huge hit. Thanks
Que sea una horita corta Yoli, los mejores deseos desde Galicia 💛
Restaurant Atico on the 6th floor of the 5 star Principal Hotel on Calle del Alcala. Superb restaurant but check in early to enjoy a drink on the terrace beforehand. It's not cheap but well worth it for an occasion and worth every penny. It's hard to believe you're in the centre of Madrid. Excellent staff and service and a chilled out experience. The views from the terrace are terrific.
Yeah! Another great video. Sorry, haven't commented in quite a while but we still, never miss an episode. Great tips. Fingers crossed, we'll be back in Madrid for 2 weeks in February. I can't believe that after nearly 20 years of visiting, never been to Casa De Campo. I've always wanted to go. This year is a "must see".
Yoly is definitely looking beautiful. I am excited for your delivery and the new member of your videos. Enjoy your blessings.
So thankful for your channel! I will be living in Madrid for a year, starting in September (if all goes well.) I've been watching your channel for over a year now, waiting for the day I could start my countdown to being in Madrid! Good luck with everything, sending you both lots of love and well wishes for the days ahead!

It's quite hot here in Valencia too, and like Yoly, I have a fan on hand wherever I go. Yes, do get the Madrid wine, when visiting Madrid. Their local wine is very good. Thanks for sharing this video and I hope to take a train next year and stop by. Best wishes on the upcoming birth of your girl. I am happy that you will have more love to share in your family unit. James, it would be cute if you are in the delivery room, telling your daughter as she is being born: "venga, let's go" !!!

Yoly, you are brave to be away from home in your last few weeks of giving birth, but it is also good to stay active and walk. You look great. Many blessings. I imagine it's brutally hot. I was there in 2019, October and it was pretty brutal then...but it got much cooler in Madrid by mid October.
I'm planning to go to Madrid and Spain in 2022 and your videos have been really helpful in my planning!! Thank you :)
So enjoyed this video. Best wishes for the upcoming birth of your baby girl. She will be gorgeous for sure . Love to you both xx

Great video as (almost) always! Now, Docamar is quite well known and good quality, and the other places you recommend seem all very good, but, I would suggest you include in your reviews some places in richer or more posh neighborhoods. They would be as authentic as those and many would be absolutely fantastic (and not much more expensive). Just try Taberna Cachivache, calle de Serrano 221, for example. Or just at the outskirts, in La Moraleja, the terrace of Aspen restaurant. Both are outstanding IMHO. There there are many, many more.
Oh finally I was waiting for your videos, your videos make me happy and I wish you both a healthy and wonderful time with your baby

Hi Barbara
Hopefully next year, I will be touring around in Spain. When the Australian borders are opened!!
Nice to see you hanging on fine with your videos. If you can recall we were part of a Granada Olive Oil excursion in 2016. Hoping to come over to Spain once international flights are permitted from my country. Enjoying as always your videos.
Spent a week in Madrid a couple of days ago. Very liveable city and its no problem to find places where madrileños meet. Every district has lots of bars, cafés and restaurants. Considering the heat...just watch what the spaniards do.
Great vid. So many little secrets…..😀🍺🍺🍷🍷
Another great video you two!! Thanks. It was really good to se y’all.
All the best for your new arrival James and Yoli. 👶🏼 good luck and I hope all goes well. Take care, and enjoy every moment. Remember to take time off too you workaholics!!!
Hi James and Yoly, we were at Las Vestillas 2 days ago, right before the flamenco show at Coral de la moreria. You guys were right about the food at this place but the view can't be beat. Me and my family really enjoy watching your videos. All the tapas (and churreria) places you've recommended were all a hit! We tried to deviate from our original plan and we ended up at a tapas bar that served inauthentic paella (frozen)....we should have followed your recommendation! 🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the good work and more power to your channel.
In the end of august i will finally meet my sister in Madrid and spend a exteded weekend there. 💞 Then off to the north of spain to experience Picos, Bilbao and San Sebastian. 🤗 Best of luck to you both and your baby ❤

Went to see a friend's new flat the other night and instead of heading to the Alameda we walked through the barrio and found the most delightful neighbourhood bar. Top tip n Spain "head off the beaten track" and you will find somewhere good. Also we arrived at just after 8 and had our pick of tables!

Always fun to watch your videos! I’ve postponed my trip to Spain for the second time due to this damn COVID situation but hopping to visit it next summer without masks! Stay safe & since you’ll be having a baby soon, should I say “ the force will be with you always” !! 😉
Love your videos so much. Lived in Barcelona for one year and your videos show really authentic how matchless it is to live in spain. Greetings from germany
Hi guys!!!! I will definitely check out those bars! Docamar I already know as it is right next to my art supplier in Quintana and I usually drop in for a caña and bravas! Wow Yoli you are looking fab! Glad it’s been a bit cooler for you these past few days! Hoping all goes smoothly! My youngest was born in La Paz and they were lovely in the maternity ward! Wishing you the very best!!🥰
Love this video, James and Yoly, I’m dying for some pulpo and to get back to Spain later this month!
Great video. I look forward to finally getting to Madrid later this year.
Wow I must be really behind. Congratulations Jim and Yoly on your baby. So happy for you both. Best of luck.
Visited Madrid this week and thoroughly enjoyed the flamenco dance show at Las Carboneras was amazing. Thank you for the suggestion. Hope the baby has arrived safely and both baby and mother are doing well.
