Olive oil bro olive oil... The butter is very bad. A Spaniard tells you that here they cook only with very healthy olive oil.

You were in one of my favourite parts of Valencia. There are some great breakfast places near there. People drink carajillo with their breakfast. If you're there on the night check out funky food for drinks and music

We have been to Bilbao, Lerma, Burgos, Madrid and Barcelona. LOVE ESPANA!

Best video about trad Spanish food ever And ive watched 1000of them .

Well I’m up to 4 times a day. Sometimes I just have a glass of Gazpacho for breakfast or toast with tomato and fresh OJ. For 11:00 (merienda?) i have a small slice of tortilla de patata and a banana. Haven’t found to many restaurants for lunch at 2:30-3:00 where it’s €10, so I often cook at home. And at 8:00 pm, I have some olives, Serrano ham, little bit of chorizo, and a bit of well aged Manchengo cheese, and some wine. So the only full meal is lunch.

La gente que va a trabajar o bien sale desayunados de casa o bien se toma un café en una cafetería. Después hay un descanso de unos 20 minutos que cada empresa concreta y es cuando sales a tomar un café y hay gente que toma un bocadillo o pasta en alguna cafetería o bar, a veces te puedes llevar un bocadillo de casa y tomarte el café, luego sales a comer sobre las 1 o 2 o según horario de la empresa. Te puedes llevar un tupper y comer en ella office o bien ir a comer en un bar o restaurante pero no cada día porque saldría caro. Por lo general no es como lo muestras vamos que la gente no está tomando chupitos y vuelve a trabajar. Los horarios suelen ser partidos y incluso si vives cerca puedes ir a tu casa a comer.

Hello Antoanetta, I am lucky to have many Spanish friends who live in Valencià and Barcelona. I am French and live in Paris. I fell in love with this charming city where the Mediterranean atmosphere reminds me of my childhood memories. As the owner of an apartment in Valencià, I am always surprised by the kindness and courtesy of the Spaniards, who do not hesitate to help you if you find your way. Each video that you offer takes me back to this atmosphere that I particularly like. Thank you for sharing with us his very good moments. I'm going back in March 2023 for the FALLAS :-)

I am travelling for my first time to Valencia so thank you for your well informed videos thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤

Antoanetta, you are so fabulous. Every video you do is at work of art, I’ve been thinking about moving to France from the USA. Like you I lived in LA, Long Beach for me, but then came up to the Midwest to help my daughter with some things, and because I am retired or at the age I can retire I wanted to come and live by the Mediterranean. I thought i would go to France, probably because I’ve been there a number of times, but now watching your videos I want to move to Spain, wow what a place and what wonderful people and glorious food…. The Spanish government should give you a commission for every good person that immigrates to Spain because of you…. absolutely love you. 🌺

breakfast is very different from Portugal, but it seems to be healthy, I like it

Hi, Antoanneta! You are doing jewelry, so, do you take note about the Iberian jewelry? Some of the Prerroman works are beautiful, maybe you enjoy see it. I hope you would like to see the Museo de Arte Ibérico, in Jaén, but you also can see some pieces in Valencia too. Of course, the Iberian Ladies has a good reply of the highest ladies's jewelry.

Muy bien guapa,me alegra, Disfruta del mejor país del mundo ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍

Hi Antoanetta. I was born in Valencia and I am living abroad for many years. I think there are some points you have to consider. First, the time in Spain: the former dictator Franco moved the time in Spain from London to Berlin long ago. So actually the "sun time" in Spain is 1 hour less. That's why people have a lunch at 2 because actually it is 1 but no one knows it. And sun dinner time is 8 and not 9....This change has mixed up everything. The concept of "Almuerzo" actually is "lunch", which is the term that Latinamerican people use for "comida". However, if you have dinner that "late" you are not very hungry in the morning for breakfast so maybe you prefer to start working and after a couple of hours take some snacks. This snakck they call it "almuerzo" but in Valencia, some people, take it too seriously. The best of that is that you let your body to eliminate toxins from the day before and helps you too to lose some weight due to the delay in having the first meal of the day (= intermittent fasting). Actually if you have a nice "almuerzo" you don't really need to take "comida" at 2, you can perfectly resist till "cena" or dinner. So, in my opinion, Spain invented "Brunch" long ago. Concerning working times. "Siesta" time is already a myth. Maybe old people do it but actually "lunch time" can be form 1 hour to 2 hours maximum but it depends on the industry you are working in. If you are a in shop and depending on the situation they may close from 1:30/ 2 pm till 4.30/5 pm but in Malls everything is open. Keep on doing! Regards.

Para comer bien , alejate siempre de las zonas turísticas , mejor comida y mejor precio .

I have breakfast at home, normally, coffee and a toast. The almuerzo in the bar, a beer and a couples of tapas. The lunch at home, normally an stew or in a bar, the menu del día if I do not want to cook, the merienda at the tea time is in the bar, time to socialize, yesterday I went to have a coffee and a pastry at four o'clock and I came back home at nine o'clock but my record for merienda was to go back home 2 days later. Finally dinner, a steak or fish an fruit, I eat more for dinner only if I go with friends to a restaurant. Five meals but in total not much food, may less calories that if you eat a burguer and a supersugared refresh. After dinner, about 12 o'clock in the night time to go to the pub. Hard life when you a retired.....

I'm Spanish and I do OMAD (one meal a day). I guess I'm one of the few weirdos for the moment, but intermittent fasting and OMAD is getting some traction in here too.

Explico lo de las cinco comidas al día, son recomendadas por muchos nutricionistas, pero no todos: 1° según las costumbres de mi familia, originaria de Castilla la Mancha: Desayuno: leche, Cafe, café con leche, leche chocolateada, tostada con mantequilla y mermelada o tostada con aceite y tomate o unas galletas o pastas, en general no muy fuerte, 2° almuerzo, a media mañana: un pequeño bocadillo con jamón o queso o embutido, un café o té o leche chocolatada, o bien una tostada con tomate y aceite o con mantequilla y mermelada, 3° Comida: es después del trabajo de 13 o 13:30 hasta las 15 horas, aproximadamente, es la comida más fuerte, en mi familia consta de tres platos primero un guiso o sopa o ensalada, segundo carne, pescado, huevos, tercero postres generalmente fruta, 4° merienda, algo muy ligero yogur, medio bocadillo con jamón o queso, unas pastas con café o té o similar 5° cena, sobre las 20:30 a 21o 21:30 h, generalmente más ligera, una verdura y carne o pescado no graso y fruta. Hay diferencias a esto en España porque nuestro país es muy diverso y tiene sus particulares comidas o costumbres, el número de comidas es así lo que puede variar ses lo que se come. Sobre que los españoles hablamos poco inglés es cierto, se ha hecho mucho para que los jóvenes hablen inglés y el nivel ha subido, pero en los mayores no es así, una cosa que no ayuda es que en general todas las películas y series de televisión que recibimos del extranjero sean en inglés u otros idiomas, se doblan al castellano por actores profesionales, la diferencia con Portugal es que allí se proyectan o emiten en TV en versión original, según tengo entendido. Para versiones originales en España debes de asistir a proyecciones específicas en idiomas originales que no se proyectan en muchos cines, en cineclubs, etc Saludos

One of the favorite cities for all. Third Capital of Spain. An exceptional time. Quality food and very cheap. Good weather and its beaches. Good transportation service around the city. at 1:30 p.m. by AVE (high-speed train) to Madrid --Alicante-Seville-Malaga. etc. Highways to the whole country and free. We have the largest park in Europe next to the City of Arts-Sciences. + than 7 km. to enjoy outdoors-walking-running and whatever you want. COME AND YOU WILL BE CONVINCED.

@@ANTOANETTA Hi there, let me jump into the conversation ;-). From your video it seems we're eating all day long 🤣🤣 but it is not like that. Mainly 3 meals ( breakfast, lunch, dinner) and then some snacks in between midday and teatime if you feel like It is optional - ex: you only had coffee for breakfast so then you go for "almuerzo", but if you had toast at breakfast it's not that normal or even advisable;-). I think that 's the point she is trying to make. 3 course meal it is not like that everyday for everybody at least when you eat at home but normal when going for a meal out at restaurants. Still, one thing is for sure: we like healthy food and it is really good quality and quite affordable. Best choice is fish if you like it. There is a great variety to choose from being Valencia a city by the sea. It is one of the things I miss the most when being abroad. I could not find "my Valencia style fish" when living in France, UK, NL and even Italy. It is quite unique and something to value and highlight. I just love it¡
