@@rsnankivell1962 the joke is putting flamenco music and the isPain flag on the video. That says, quite clearly: Man, I don't have a clue of where I am. "Spanish" cava (what the f^ck is that?). Tapas are from the south of Spain, and on and on and on... That's why people in Barcelona has started to hate tourists, they come for a Disney-Barcelona that only exists in their mind. Let me try to explain it, the beauty of Spain is that it's like 17 countries glued together in a small space. With different languages, traditions,... and I mean different. Like, as an example, Vasque language has nothing to do with any other language in Spain (or the World). As a friend of mine from the States once told me, two neighbouring towns in Spain are more different than New York from Los Angeles or Denver. Of course, as in any other place, we have the narrow minded (I call them "affectionately" isPaniards. They don't live in Spain, but in a parallel country I call isPain) that wants us to be just single minded, boring, fascists, robots. But, f*ck them! Going back to the topic at hand. If you visit Spain, forget those tourist traps in Madrid and Barcelona. Pick a small city for your stay (most of the province capitals are well connected by high speed trains or planes). It's cheaper and you'll find the true Spain around you. And as I've said before, you have 17 different country/regions to explore. Have fun!

We have 5 days planned in Barcelona in 2023. It looks amazing! Thanks so much. We have followed your recommendations in Budapest, Rome, Athens… you’ve never steered us wrong yet. 😉 Can’t wait!

I have a million things I have to do, before my work week. Oh, look! ET has a new video. Everything else can wait, now😂

You need to visit us more. Gastronomy changes every comarca (pseudo county), and for foreign people, just to try most famous dishes from Galicia, Asturias, Basque Country, Catalonia, Valencia, Murcia Andalucia Extremadura and Madrid, would take one week per each, so 9 weeks, and you can add 9 more CC AA (pseudo states) Canary Islands, Balear Islands, Aragon, Cantabria, Nafarroa, South Castilla, North Castilla, Ceuta and Melilla, and that 18 week will only give you a taste of the most common dishes being with a good schedule. And even if you would be able to have only one bite of each famous (not all) traditional dish, just to try, you would spend at least one day per each. About sausages, that you like, Catalonia, has several of their own, and Valencia is famous too with very different products. There are also great sausages from Burgos as their rice morcilla (blood sausage) Asturias and Galicia. But each county would have their own sausages, with a little or big twist over their neighbours counties or even villages or towns. And last but not least, it is not only great recipes, product matters too, and our weather and seeds are amazing.

Awesome 👍💯 very interesting country Spain is a beautiful place amazing.thank u for sharing...

I adore Spain. The food was divine and a I ate a tomato that so good...I cried. True story.

A great video Mark. I love Barcelona. What is good to know is where to eat and enjoy and you have given a great insight. Thank you and enjoy

Love your vids, love your energy, love your channel. stay safe and thanks for bringing us along on your fabulous vacations.

I will be enjoying your recommendations in a few days! Cannot wait! Thank you, Mark!

This is one of the best food videos of Barcelona I've come across. Usually I make note of 1 or 2 places from each video. Every spot you went to looks phenomenal and is highly rated. My experience last time at Bar Canete was amazing, so I can't wait to try these other places on my trip next month!

That was some detailed tapas tour you have done...I am jealous

Auguri to your new company Mark, everyone is truly blessed to have you as a tour leader 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks for sharing your trip and all the tips! Barcelona has been one of the best experiences of my life, hope someday to be back there 🤗

Barcelona is a place I have yet to visit, and would like to in the future. I have an old picture of my grandmother visiting there in 1957, she was standing outside on a bridge with a wide background and distinct large arhitectual buildings and features, I'd like to find that spot and take photo of myself standing where she stood in 1957. One of my first cousins lives there

Great as usual!!!

HOLA Mark! Glad you finally made it to Barcelona. My son live there for 2 years to teach English so I was able to visit him a few times. He also has a channel called Jaycation where he made videos of his time there and other parts of Europe. Hope you can collab with him someday but unfortunately his back in the States due to the pandemic.

What a beautiful video, my friend!

Good video, and good food. As a Spaniard, just a couple of clarifications: The explanation you gave about the origin of "tapas", it´s just one of the many explanations given for the origin of the name, most likely inaccurate. "Tapa" means "lid", which literally comes from the verb "tapar" ("to cover"). As such, the most plausible explanation is a "tapa" was originally nothing but small piece of food used to cover the glass, so flies or dust wouldn´t spoil the wine in the cup. As for the pimientos de Padrón (green peppers), "unos pican y otros no" means "some are hot, some are not": as such, you´re not supposed to eat them as you did, but leave a little bit at the stem, since it´s the part you´re more likely to find the bitter/"stingy" bits. Enjoy your stay!

ET, AWESOME Barcelona Food Review! I am heading there in May and was looking for great places to dine! You have provided me some valuable information! I also subscribed to your channel!

Outstanding! We went to wrong places for tapas in Barcelona. Hope to see videos from Brussels and Amsterdam soon.

Thank you for this great video! I think that you missed some delicious fish plates in this review you would have enjoyed. For example with codfish, octopus, sardins or also fideuà (elaborated plate with noodle). Maybe next time...Saludos!

Very good video !!!

Hi, I wanted to ask you how should I go about learning English through movies, TV series and songs, what methods should I apply, how should I approach these tools and how can I put them into practice? Ditto for books/audiobooks/podcasts and videos on youtube, where should I start if I'm at zero??? Nb: I'm a 20-year-old boy and I haven't decided which path to take yet but at the moment I'm more oriented towards languages and I would also like to go and live in England

Hello Mark , are you still traveling and making videos?

todo el mundo incluso españoles dicen alioli y en valenciano o catalan se dice allioli que significa all es ajo y oli es aceite , allioli porque no gastamos la consonante y griega

what was the second place you went to called?

What was the name of the bar again I didn’t get it although Mark mentioned it about 100 times😂

When I see a 30 min food video from a channel I don't know, this is what I do. I randomly fast forward into the video six times. If every time I land on the presenter's face instead of a shot of food, something isn't right. I'm going to skip this one. Having said that, Barcelona is an amazing food city and everyone should go at least once

So much I’d love to say. I actually don’t hate your thought process, but I do think it’s a bit flawed lol…maybe you should try watching the first 6 minutes instead? I’d like to personally invite you to watch the video and if you feel unsatisfied with the amount of food and places I covered in the video, I’ll keep your comment in mind for future videos…but please keep in mind this is not Instagram…I love food but staring at it for 30 minutes might be a bit too much lol. Accept the challenge? If you are satisfied, I certainly wouldn’t mind you acknowledging that your approach may not be the best. Keep in mind I’m challenging you because I’m quite confident of the outcome! Enjoy the video my friend.

en castellano se dice ajoaceite

This ham, whatever it is is fabulous………eeeeee…… fail……

so you don't know how to pronounce it and you don't own the recommendation...

This is my city and unfortunately, I feel obligated to warn potential tourists that they are better off going somewhere else. Robberies, especially at night are now the norm, and use of violence during theft is on the rise. I've even seen one youtuber, Dr. Cellini - do a video on it as he was attacked and robbed in Barcelona. I'm a local and they tried to rob me once already and I've also seen the aftermath of many muggings even if I didn't see the act itself - heartbreaking to see a tourist when they have just realized someone has stolen their bag from their seat or snapped a phone off their hands etc. Not only that but the corrupt Spanish government refuses to change masks in public transport from mandatory to recommended because some close friends of the government started mask businesses. This means there is also friction on the metro and bus with people attacking others, including tourists, if they don't have masks on...most people I know come from countries where masks are history so when they arrive here they have no idea and don't have masks with them. In sum, go somewhere else, it's not the best time to visit Spain.

In my 74 years old I never have been robbed in Barcelona but I almost been robbed in Prague, using the common sense is easy to avoid be roobbed, allways the wallet in the front pocket ,don't wear expensive jewels or watches ,nothing more.

Are you serious, Barcelona? It's the Spanish city with the least tradition in tapas bars. In Barcelona there have never been tapas bars until 1992 ... so in all the cities of Spain there are better tapas bars than there.
