Greetings, friend. Madrid is a great city. Thanks for this nice tour. 👏
Great advice for my trip. The little money you spend and don"t think much about really adds up. Subscribed
Thank you 😊
Thank you 🙏
Spain was great BUT DON"T RENT A CAR FROM ENTERPRISE. I got flat tire and they charged my credit card $733 RIPOFF!
🤯
Nothing good ever came from tourism. AirBnB is a community death sentence.
Tourism contributes on more than 15 % of spain pib
Iran has way more youth unemployed and living with parents. Maybe banning airbnb's will solve Iran's problems as well!
🤣
Unfortunately all the videos from "Malaga" are actually from food fest in Fuenjirola - Feria de los Países :)
So can you confirm that its not that crowded all year around
@@NomadBudgetExplorer In my experience, it can be very crowded during events whatever summer or winter, much like in the video. On a normal summer weekend evening it can still be quite crowded, especially on the main streets, but not so much that you can't move around freely or keep your distance from other people, during the winter much less people of course. All this doesn't change the fact that property and rent prices have skyrocketed, which is a big impact on locals, that's unfortunately true.
Spain looted most of South America of its riches and resources, maybe they can pony up some cash for their citizens.
🙃
Kinda dumb if your economy is heavy on tourism.
True
Is not, only 10% of the GDP
@@themechanictangerine4337 That's still pretty significant.
I don't blame the citizens for not wanting tourists in there country and I feel the same so Spaniards don't come to the United States either and that's the way I feel 😊
You are on stolen land
So everybody should stay in his country?
@@NomadBudgetExplorer I would say yes.
@@LarryLaird-if6sc I agree with you Larry. People need to keep to their own cultures and business. Worry about your own and not everyone else's business. To many this seems narrow minded but to me it's common sense. There are some exceptions, but an invasion is too much.
‘Mass Tourism’ is the natural evolution of ‘the ability of all can travelI’ unlike when only the elite can travel….it’s abt putting measures to limit rather than shut down as the finances as well interaction from tourism can enrich bid managed
Still not All can travel because evry time I travel I meet the same nationality
There many tourist in Spain that are from Spain.
The protesters in Barcelona are a radical socialist group that believes Spain should take in any refugee that applies for asylum. If they don’t want my money, and prefer people who won’t contribute and cause all sorts of crime and cultural changes, fine. I’ll spent it elsewhere where I am welcome.
We are seeing the same thing in France. Paris is Paris, but the rest of the country is being over run by tourists.
All excuses 😂!!!! Always blame to tourists not the government 😂
So true
I'm a Australian...Its too late ... We have Booked paid (And expensive) and here... You should have started your campaign earlier..and we have would stayed away ... Gone to croatia or italy... Or anywhere we valued and wanted..
I hope you enjoy your holiday and don't encounter any protests. The people involved in demonstrations are not the majority; they are just more vocal. The locals are still very friendly, and you will enjoy meeting them.
@@NomadBudgetExplorer thank you .. and we are and will most likely will continue to .. currently in north Spain absolutely fantastic but we head to all the hotspots next month....so fingers crossed...
"this most beautiful country" as the camera shows the ugly as sin local graffitit sprayed all over the walls.
Yes Spain is so beautiful
reducing tourist numbers in Spain should be proportionate to the number of Spaniards who pledge to never leave their home province and who surrender their passports.
Smart move hh
"traditional flamenco shows" no such thing ever existed/ "flamenco" and "show" don't belong in the same sentence
Between 1920 and 1955, flamenco shows began to be held in bullrings and theaters, under the name "flamenco opera
@@NomadBudgetExplorer flamenco opera is opera, and not flamenco. the very nature of flamenco prohibits anyone from paying to watch any kind of spectacle.
Thank you for the valuable information
I live in Malaga and I took my cousin to the Flamenco festival when she visited, with some of the most famous flamenco artists. She wasn’t too impressed and asked “where is the show?”. I said: this is flamenco, it’s not about a show or dancing, although sometimes they include that. It was beautiful. I’ve lived here for almost 6 years and I agree with the locals, the prices are crazy now.
@@simr19 there's a degree of spontaneity in Flamenco that makes any "show" a dilution of the true art. Diluting the heart and soul of flamenco has been roaring on apace forever. Even the gypsies in Altamira will plod through the same routine for a fee these days.
"locals priced out of their own neighborhoods" locals no longer have a neighborhood. Spain is part of the EU. Freedom of movement, baby! enjoy every minute of people moving to "your" neighborhood!
"this isn't tourism, it's colonization" now they know what it feels like when mass immigration turns your town into a place that could be in Bangladesh, except tourists do go home.
They seem to be blaming tourism for everything, even problems that are occurring worldwide such as increase of cost of life.
Country like thailand 🇹🇭 manage tourism in another way they’re still welcoming
greedy and entitled pigs - will holiday somewhere else thank you very much. Load of bull - bet not a peek out of them about scam refugees or dodgy local politicians. weak
I totally understand why Spain is complaining about tourist. My contribution is to cancel all my vacations in Spain and other parts of Europe and I will take my money to countries that appreciate tourism.
Maybe Underdeveloped should be the destination so we can contribute on their development through the tourism income
Gracias
Cambodia loves tourists & treat them wonderfully especially in Siem Reap.
Thank you!
Phuck them never go there
Nice content
Perfect bad publicity! Let's hope you all stay away and leave the city to those of us who live here. Like we had during Covid
Still one of the best destinations in Europe ;)
and I stayed for 1000 per week 🤔🤣😂 and 25$ for transfer from airport to my hotel
Sorry but this seems like a very smalltown American perspective. I kept waiting for the insight but literally all of the reasons you mention were exactly the same 20 years ago when I went there the first time. The only thing that has changed is that 1 of the 8 reasons you mention, over tourism, has gotten much worse, and with that the city has lost its soul. None of the other things the video talks about have any relevance for why people don't like it ANYMORE because they were exactly the same 20 years ago when everyone loved it.
Overtourism just exaggerates all these old issues
@@NomadBudgetExplorer disagree, it has affected prices but not the other "issues" you mention, some of which aren't even really issues... the heat?? Just don't go anywhere in southern Europe in July period, that's just not a thing anyone does unless they love hot weather, and really not even worth mentioning because it's such common knowledge. Getting around by car in narrow streets? Welcome to Europe, where the most beautiful cities are many centuries old and therefore not car friendly, but where we also have great public transport so you don't need them to be. (and tbh Spanish cities are some of the most car-friendly in Europe outside of their old historic centers)
These issues are pretty much part of every major city in the world. 🙄🤦♂️
Bangkok is overcrowded too but still different in welcoming digital nomads
I was in Barcelona and Madrid in 2022. Didn't like it cause was not as pretty as I thought. Definitely over hyped.
What is the prettiest big city you have seen? (Out of curiosity)
@@MemoTea I think Prague and Budapest are the prettiest. London is not as pretty but it is my favorite city cause it has more energy.
For me it was kuala lumpur, so nice
@@MemoTea I have been to four continents and for me there are few doubts: Dresden, Budapest and ...Barcelona. By the way, those of you who complain about too many people haven't been to Prague or Venice, have you?
Gentrification makes ir bad, I have been before it and it was amazing. Now that is happening in my home town of Malaga, it is horrible how bad it is getting!!! so please don't gentrify or you destroy any amazing place I think
Balanced analysis, but please, don't come. We are overcrowded and mass tourism is destroying the city, its safety, its environment, its very social fabric, impoverishing the population and making the housing situation unsustainable. No more room to build and vulture companies buy whole apartment blocks to turn them into airbnbs, locals being kicked out by gentrification and skyrocketing rents that only the so-called expats and "digital nomads" can pay.... WE DON'T WANT MORE CRUISER SHIPS, NOR CHEAP FLIGHTS, NOR REMOTE WORKERS PAYING TAXES ELSEWHERE. We don't live off tourism, tourism lives from US. Jobs generated by it are often precarious and low paying. The poorest city in Catalonia id also a mass tourism hub (Lloret de Mar). We live in the indutrial heartland of Spain and we have enough economic potential to halve our tourism intake. We're not only a bar space for tourists to consume drinks disregarding the people here, their livelihoods and the places they've loved all their lifes, which are now touristy hellholes, like Park Güell or the harbour. People in Barcelona are just fed up, and this happens also in many other places on Spain. And, if you do come: be respectful, consume locally, be mindful of the noise you make, and get out of the city to visit the Catalan lands, which are much more than our capital. If you're a remote worker reading this: piss off.
Thank you for your comment, @BigSana25. I understand your concerns about overtourism in Barcelona. I'm currently preparing a video that will explore all the issues caused by mass tourism in Spain, including its impact on housing, local culture, and the environment.
@@NomadBudgetExplorer I didn't mean to sound rude at all, I respect you and I understand tourists pick the offers they get, and most are not to blame. Even though some groups exhibit harmful behaviour, most just want to travel, explore and enjoy themselves. But the free market and unrestrictive propierty and commercial policies are just catastrophic in so many ways. My comment was just written from desperation, like many other people feel. The tourism model needs to change, and the debate is on the public agenda, people mindsets are changing here and in other tourist hotspots. It certainly changed the way I travel, when I do. I'm just afraid there's too much money and economic interests at stake for change to happen.
Listen, you can find a number of similar reasons basically for every city in the world. Which doesn't make it a bad place to live.
I completely agree. I'm not sure if you finished the video, but it offers a balanced point of view.
It was cheap before Spain joined the EU and had the Olympics andless glitzy
Lets see the impact of olympic game in paris this time
It was livable, unlike now
@NomadBudgetExplore Paris is already over crowded.
has literally zero to do with the EU dude, please spare us the separatist ultranationalist nonsense. BCN is a major metropolis and literally all major metropolises with successful economies become expensive, especially if they're mass tourism destinations, that's what capitalism does. Is London less expensive now that it's not in the EU? Stop it.
@@maxibluft I was in Barcellona in 1991 before Olympics game (1992). It was lovely and really quite city and also undrretad... totally different from now. And also Spain join Europe really late (with Franco was not possible) in 1986. That means that Spain changed relatvitley fast compareted to other country like Italy or France.
All mass tourism destinations having the same trouble
Sadly
City is also dirty! I think I'm done with Barcelona.
🥲
I don’t feel welcome there anymore
Maybe you should try Chiang mai authentic and evry body is welcome
How did you find the accommodation information? I am retired and wouldn’t be a candidate for living in a hostel. Thanks for sharing your experience ❤😊
Nice vlog..new sub here
Thanks for subbing! :)
Wonderful! Thank you for posting. We spent 10 days in the Azores and many people there raved about how beautiful Madeira is.
I am wondering about your next destination :)
Thank you! I love how clear and concise you've made this. Very informative, and straight to the point.
Thank you for the feedback 🫶🏻
Slay
Yes, indeed. Things change and yes to be. It's very cheap place to leave in the 80s. When I was there But like I say everything has changed in this world.😢
Yes unfortunately, hopefully the landscape is still amazing
Nice one ! Honest destination review
