James. Que tenga que venir un señor de las antípodas y que hable con esa pasión, con ese conocimiento y ese dominio de la lengua de Cervantes de mi país, mi patria... Realmente me emociona. Si un día hay que nombrarte embajador honorífico desde luego, mi voto ya lo tienes ganado. Este país es muy antiguo, destila historia, cultura por todos sus poros y tú lo has captado perfectamente.👍

Tourists believe that tourism in Spain is sun and beach. But Spain has a very interesting rural and medieval tourism.

Love the austerity of high Castilla.

Sois una pareja increíble, y sabéis vivir y apreciar esta España, y me gusta mucho la manera que tenéis de explicar y enseñar nuestro país, os deseo lo mejor y que sigáis hablando y enseñando esta España tan diversa ,pero tan abierta y acogedora para personas como vosotros dos, un fuerte abrazo .

Proud of my La Madre Patria (Morher Land). Great job!! Congrants!

The Paradores are definitely the best hotel chains in Spain. With some of the best locations, restaurants, service, bars and everything

I think a visit to Ronda in Malaga is essential, and they have a formidable Parador. Love your videos to practice my english.

Seems quite cold there, it's good to show that Spain is not all sun and beaches but also a mountainous medieval cold country, it's great to show the little secrets of Spain, well done James and Yolly (did I spell Yolly right? Sorry if I didn't)

These guys are clearly in love and that makes their videos sparkle. Stay happy!

El parador de Alcañiz, (Teruel) es un castillo muy antiguo, histórico y precioso. Está muy cerca de pueblos bellísimos, como Valderrobres, Fuentespalda, Calaceite, Mirambel, Mosqueruela, Mora de Rubielos...etc. No se olviden de las provincias de Huesca y Zaragoza. Hay ciudades celtíberas, catedrales, castillos, palacios...con mucha historia y buena comida. Les sorprenderá!!

My wife and I drove around Siguenza in 2018, coming from Cuenca through the Guadalajara Sierra. We were on our way to stay in El Burgo de Osma for a holiday in the region. This part of the country is not visited by many foreigners but is quintessentially Spanish or, more accurately, Castilian. In order to explore these places you really need a car but they are absolutely worth it. Tons of history and beautiful landscapes. Every small town has a spectacular castle, monastery or church. The Paradores are good but expensive. I tend to visit them just to have a drink and look around before spending the night in something a lot cheaper. Worth doing for a romantic weekend though. Cheers James and Yoli

James, Yoly, felicitaciones por vuestro vídeo. No puedo trasladar esto al idioma inglés porque lo que surge, emerge, directamente de la emoción, solo se expresa bien en el idioma materno. No sé si sois británicos o australianos o...pero me emociona vuestra pasión por nuestro país ( cultura, comida, bebida, paisajes, costumbres, arquitectura, historia, paisajes, gentes.....) y vuestro conocimiento del país. A diferencia del 95% de turistas anglosajones, vosotros no vais buscando turismo masificado de sol y playa.... sino una España más real, más interesante desde todos los puntos de vista, con más bagaje histórico y cultural, y más diversa de lo que la mayor parte de turistas ( turistas de costas mediterraneas ) imaginan que es España. También más diversa climatológicamente. No obstante, Spanish people like me ( ( I’m from BCN ) also have soooo much to learning about Spain inland ( ( speciallly countries as Leon, North Castile, Cantabria, Galicia or Asturias ). Sois muy simpáticos . Saludos, afectuosamente! ❤️

El de Viella con spa y sus vistas al el valle de aran. El de almagro en ciudad real El de carmona en sevilla El de cangas de onis. En asturias El de fuente de en cantabria. El resto no los he probado. De momento. Pero el de ronda es una pasada, lo he visitado El de Zamora, también he tomao un café y está chulo El de almagro también es tipo fortaleza. El de Ávila puedes pillar habitación en el torreón. Y así hasta los casi 100 paradores que hay.

Absolutely stunning place and great insight. Avila next please!

Sorry we haven't left a comment in a while but we still watch and "like" every video posted. Hope to see more Paradores. Last year we stayed at the one in Lerma. We plan to see more. Siguenza has just risen to the top of the list.

I also have been in Sigüenza Parador, is really amazing. I also recommends you another two Parador Castles in Spain where I have been, Olite in Navarra and Baiona in Pontevedra (Galicia). There are many more, but I remember those two.

Loved this video (all of your videos actually)! Is León too far from Madrid for you guys to do a video of that city? It would be great to see your stay at a historic place like el Hotel Real Colegiata de San Isidoro and the surrounding old city. But wherever you go, you make it interesting and exciting!

Beautiful! Reminds me of our day trip to Ávila last summer, right down to the little mishaps with wine! Our waitress knocked down a glass right on me. Please keep traveling and posting!!!

I love the style of your channel. I'm so glad I found you guys (just yesterday!). Although it will take 2-3 years, my partner and I and all of our kids are saving up and looking to move to Spain. Your channel has been a Godsend in this dream.

James! You hit this one (as usual) out of the park! Best ever! You are an amazing presenter, but your real gift is your wife! Coolest wife (and most beautiful) on KZread! Cheers you lucky bastard! Much love!

Love Sigüenza. I spent a weekend also there sleeping in the Parador. Highly recommended.

Always love your videos, but particularly enjoyed this one with the parador. I studied Spanish in Salamanca back in 1994 and whilst having returned to Spain on many occassions since then, it has always been to Andalucia or Barcelona. Returning to Madrid for Easter in April and can not wait! Keep up the good work.

Try Parador de Almagro. Its an ancient monasterio so cool. Not to mention the legendary theather of almagro and not far the lagunas of ruidera.

One of my fav vid of you guys!!! Just awesome energies at this place. I know its little unusual but love it 😍❤️

Was a vegetarian for five years before grad school in Spain. Early on, if I ordered vegetarian I'd usually get served eggs or fish. ;-) Visiting the high plains towns of Castile-La Mancha is a fool's errand without being open to generous meat choices. (I made peace with the delicious game birds.)

Hi James, "The Cruel" was only the nickname given by his enemies. His loyal followers think he was the "Justice Man" precisely because of all the nobles he order to kill. His marriage was a treatry between Castile and France and Blanca's father broke it not paying all the dowry to Peter, so he refuses to consider himself as married and, probably, ordered to kill his wife… because he was in love with, and also have children, another woman...

También en castellano: Pedro I "el Cruel", es el mote que le ponen los seguidores de su hermanastro. Sus leales le llamaron siempre, "el Justiciero" precisamente porque impartía justicia de manera expeditiva entre la levantisca nobleza castellana de la época... El padre de Blanca, rey de Francia, le traicionó al no pagar la dote estipulada, por lo que Pedro la repudia, considerando nulo su matrimonio. Además, estaba enamorado y tenia hijos de otra mujer...

About 20 years ago I spent a night in the Parador de Siguenza. Beautiful building, great location, delicious cuisine. My only caveat is that in many years of travel, hundred of hotel stay, this is the only place where I have ever run into bedbugs. That doesn't prejudice me against Paradores since I have stayed in around 30 of them and would recommend them highly.

This came just at the perfect time when I was looking for sg like that near Madrid! Thanks a lot and hope to see more soon!!! Cheers

Best chocolate I've ever had! We went back for more, but they had closed and we needed to head back home to Madrid ☹️
