Cholesterol will go down for a year or more after 2 weeks without alcohol, potatoes, rice pasta and bread (carbs). If you add no meat, even better. Fish, sea food onions, fruits, artichokes, salads etc are not a great sacrifice to eat.

The 0.0% was de barril? Better than in the bottle? Which marca? What time of day were you visiting? Enjoyed the mini tour!

Yolly would make a terrific improv actor - no matter what James says, she just rolls with it and jokes right back. They have such an entertaining rapport :)

Alcalá is really a beautiful place if you like history, as a Madrid citizen I have to say it is one of the most beautiful towns here!

What a treat! My first visit to Spain was in Alcalá de Henares 15 years ago while my daughter was attending university there. She fell in love with the country and is there to this day, raising her family.

Madrid has really beautiful towns in its province such as Chinchón, Aranjuez, San Lorenzo de El Escorial and of course also Alcalá de Henares. Great video!! Greetings

You guys are too funny. I love your verbal chemistry. Clever.

This, alongside Toledo y Córdoba make me feel like i walked through a time machine. Gorgeous places

Saludos desde Miami. Me encanta el canal. Yoly pregunta para tí: ya no bebes alcohol? siempre ordenas cerveza 0.0 :)

Catalina 👑 no te olvidamos! 🇪🇸

I have such good memories of Alcalá, as my parents used to take me and my sister there several weekends a year.

Oh! Love this video! Lived there for 16 yrs while my dad was stationed at Torrejón AFB…my mom is from Huelva. Hay un bar cerca de la universidad, se llama El Hidalgo, tiene murales de cerámica de don Quijote y son preciosos! Y las tapas, enormes! La próxima! ❤🇪🇸

I was stationed at Torrejon AB from '86 to '90 and lived in Alcala. I did only 4 years with the AF and it was definitely the best time of my life. I moved back to Madrid in 2021 and go to Alcala often and it's still amazing to me.

Another wonderful video! I especially like the ones with both of you in them. Love Spain as well- will never be moving there as there is too much family and responsibility keeping me in the US but somehow I find myself visiting yearly

Great videos. As a man of a certain age and health problems I have a small Bucket List. One of the things I’ve always wanted to see is the painting Guernica. Any tips of where to stay in Madrid that’s close to the museum, four or five star. I’ll be flying in from the UK and want to stay for four or five days. I love Spain. Still so underrated culturally by so many who just head for the beaches.

¡Vale! Para mi son los mejores.

I'm actually planning to go to Alcala for a walking tour video soon 😍

This is one of the many reasons I want to live in Spain.

Oh man… good video. This looked like a long overdue date between the two of you. Looks like you had fun!

Alcala is a very fun city. In-fact, I used to always go to the best whiskey sour bar in the area there in Plaza de Cervantes. I agree, that if you visit Madrid, Alcala and also Segovia (you could probably toss in Avila as well) are MUST day visits. Hell, if you're gonna go that way spend a day at Sacedon in the summer. LOL

This was a great video! You two looked like you were having so much fun, so lighthearted! It is always important for the two of you to take time to be together.

Spain, in addition to Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Seville and Malaga, has many more impressive historical cities. Cordoba, Avila, Segovia, Salamanca, Cuenca, Toledo, Valladolid, Girona, Tarragona, Cartagena, Cadiz, Granada, Lleida, Zaragoza, La Coruña,Lugo,Ponferrada,Aviles,Gijon,Santander,Oviedo,Comillas....and I still left dozens more

Thank you once again. Whenever I long for my 'happy place', your videos satisfy that need. I recall Alcala for one drunken night of which the details elude my memory, but my fondness of Spain in general is still strong. I hope that you are all well and good, and that the long string of videos continues.

Thank you for sharing your tapas video. They all look delicious 😋 ❤

In the list! Thanks 😊🎉❤

We are fascinated by all things Cervantes and Catherine of Aragon so this day trip is definitely added to the next trip to Madrid. Thanks again for these videos on the not so well known spots in Spain.

My life has been chaos and stressful lately, but this video made me smile. Thank you both for sharing this! You make me happy.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad the video helped a little

Also the birthplace of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, the younger brother of Carlos I/V. Ferdinand grew up in Spain under the watchful eyes of their grandparents - Los Reyes Catolicos. He was assigned the patrimonial lands of the Habsburgs in Central Europe, thus founding the Austrian line of the family.

Beautiful, thank you.

Fantastic watch

¿Vais a Alcalá y no compráis garrapiñadas? Amos...

...if I would hate your videos, Yoly & James, I would hate this one too, but I don't! Alcala has to be an amazing day trip from Madrid (I made a mental note), and when I see you munching on all those delicious tapas, I can only roll my eyes in delight and envy!! 🍷🫒 I just love how history oozes out of every corner of those old Spanish towns and villages (I walked twice through the whole north of Spain on the camino, so I saw quite a bit of that)... you're doing such a fantastic job with your channel - love to you both!!! 💖

I went to Alcalá and I really like it, thanks for this video

Wonderful town, thanks for the great tour!

Muchas Gracias for this great video James and Yolly ! I loved to see your romantic day without your beautiful daughter. I think that its important that parents can also enjoy some time without their children some times. Alcala de Henares looks really good, and I had never heard of it before, so thanks a lot for the tipp. Do you think that it would be worthwile to spend 1-2 nights there, and not only visit on a day trip from Madrid ?

Great to see you two back out and about. I'm keeping my fingers crossed you head to Almeria one day soon, as that's my next Spanish sojourn. (I'd appreciate any hints and tips from other channel fans too. )

I love watching your videos, always very good info about Spain 😍 especially on where to eat TAPAS 😋

Looks like a great town to visit from Madrid! We just bought a place in the Malaga area, and will be moving late 2024 🙂... You always inspire us, and I really enjoy these non-fancy looks at nice little eateries/drinkeries. Thanks, Yoli and James!

James and Yoly! Thanks for sharing! I really need to renew my passport and build up my confidence, to visit Spain once again as now a lone traveller. I have had some amazing trips there, in the past with some of my best friends. Much ❤ to you both and to your little one

Great video! Idea: Could you do a video on the Monasterio de Piedra in Zaragoza (province)? I can't find a good English-language video about it.

That's definitely a place we'll check out in Spain, thank you.

As always, a very informative video. We've been to Alcala de Henares several times and in fact visited one of the bars you featured in the video but for some reason the tapas we were given after buying a beer didn't resemble the generous tapas you received - it was simply a plate with olives and cheese. I still can't figure out why were treated so differently.

If you hate a great video about Alcala de Henares you will hate this video! Well done Yoly and James;)

I was fascinated to learn the origin of "empollon" swot. Wealthy students in Alcala would pay poorer students to sit on benches to warm them up, just like a hen nests

The parador there is dreamy. If you are flying out of Barajas, it’s an easy drive from there! As is La Granja de San Idefonso.

Thanks for a wonderful tour. I would love to know how much difference in prices is alcala de henares compared to Madrid.

I watched Bob Dylan perform in Alcalá. It was a pretty awesome event.

I just had breakfast, but now i`m hungry again and have the taste of garlic in my head.😅

Siempre he sido un fan de los paisajes naturales del país de España, pero lo que más me intriga es la historia detrás de todos los castillos que logramos ver en los videos.

Loved this video, you two are a fun couple and I was laughing with all the "if you hate this" comments. Food is one of the many marvelous things about Spain. I've never been disappointed with the food in Spain. Next trip, I'll visit Alcalá de Henares for sure. ((Que lástima que no estoy en España)).

Alcalá is a great day trip - fully agree with you! But I didn’t enjoy the food at - there was nothing different from Madrid or other cities. We tried 4 best rated places and only 1 stood out. Food-wise Toledo is still my favorite day trip.

Lovely to see you guys out and about without baby girl , nice to be a couple sometimes and not parents ! Great video as always ...is it me or is Yolli looking younger in every video ?

Hay que aclarar que ¡también es la oficina central del Instituto Cervantes! Es el equivalente del British Institute, Alliance Française y del Goethe Institut! ¿Porfa? Esto es nuevo para mí. ¿Únicamente Madrileño?

The expulsion of the _Moriscos_ (not exactly Moors btw) in Spain has more to do with the fact that they constantly revolted in the region of the Alpujarras, where they lived, and were in collusion with the Sultan of Turkey at a time when the danger of invasion was real and imminent. Nothing to do with Cisneros. By the way, the man died in 1517 and the expulsion took place in 1609.

so the baptism records were well preserved
