Morning guys ❤ Now, we know music is universal, but there was something quite surreal about you sitting in a Spanish bar/restaurant in very Spanish surroundings, while Oasis played in the background 🤣 It almost seemed wrong! Morella looks a real treat, the fact you can see for miles around is a winner enough. I imagine the cool temperatures are very much appreciated during the scorching summers which probably makes the winter there worth dealing with. 3.50 for entry into that castle, another Spanish bargain. Without a doubt that would be mininum £10 here, probably 15-20. Spain is full of these historical gems and pretty villages, you could spend years doing videos there and not run out of places! The water situation is very sad, and you're always reminded of it there. I guess there are other elements too that lead to towns not being visited anymore. Hopefully it can recover to some degree in future 🙏 Watch out for enamoured ladies tailgating you down remote country roads, I'm sure I've seen a horror film about that 😜 Much love to you both Dan & Stephen ❤🤟
Hey guys, Oasis was nothing, we'd had Midge Ure and Boy George before it too. Obviously we couldn't record at that point, as I (Alison) was "singing" along...! In the loosest possible sense of the word. 🤪🤣 Morella was really lovely. We can't get on Ur heads around where all the travellers are though. That Aire was rammed in autumn and almost empty in summer. Spoiler alert, we're currently in the Almería región and it's the same. So many less motorhomes and campers than we were expecting. Jávea and Denia are always heaving with tourists. With small villages the younger people move away to find work or a more exciting lifestyle. It all adds up. 🥺 Poor Darren, he was so embarrassed. She was such a lovely lady. Nicely dressed and coiffured. They were both blushing profusely. It was very sweet. 😍 It's lovely to know that we can still get crushes when we become older. 🤪 Much love as always Alison and Darren 💜🤟
Starlink, one payment, the dish is yours you can take it wherever you go, we live in the mountains in the Almanzora valley, fabulous wifi, it means I can work remotely on top of our mountain 😊😊
When we have more expendable cash, that would be a great option, but at the moment. €399 for the equipment and €59 per month subscription, restricted to Europe, is just not doable for us. Working remotely on the top of a mountain sounds blissful. *Yodels* 😍 Thanks for your comment. Much love 💜🤟
Love it!
Thank-you. We're glad you enjoyed the video. Much love 😘💜🤟
Darren “It’s the altitude” 😂
🤣🤣🤣😘💜🤟
🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍💖💖💖
Well what can I say to that..?!? 🤣 😘😘😘😘💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife 😆
It's a crying shame that so many villages in spain are ending up the same way. Other than that, great video again guy's and keep up the good work. 😎
Hey Gareth, It is sad. Somehow us humans need to work out how to communicate better and learn to share our resources. Thanks for your comment. 💜🤟
Nice video, just sad to see thay places are dying because climate change. We are just going to extremes lately with some places getting more rain in a month than they get a year while other don't get any. 😢
Thank-you so much. It is sad. The saddest thing is that as humans we don't seem to be able to communicate well enough to share the resources around. It's always about money first. 🥺 Much love 😘💜🤟
An amazing place, right up my street and I would love to be there right now. Where is everybody?
Honestly, we have no idea. The park up was packed in November and so few motorhomes in July. It just doesn't make sense. 🤷🏼♀️ If Morella is up your street, wait until you see the 'sneek peek' place. No spoilers here .! 😬 Thanks for your comment. It's much appreciated. 😘💜🤟
You two complement each other so nicely. That is a rarity in this day and age. Great adventure
Aaaw shucks. 😊 Thank-you so much. It took us 20+ years of not speaking to realise it. 🤣 Thanks for watching. Much love 💜🤟
MORELLA un sitio con muchisima historia belica detras de sus muros...desde el mismo CID CAMPEADOR. hasta el general carlista llamado el tigre del maestrazgo..batallas bombardeos.varias veces destruida.reformada...
Sin embargo, todavía se ve impresionante al final de todo eso. Una ciudad bien cuidada.Gracias por tu comentario Justiniano.💜🤟
Another great video guys - many thanks for sharing your adventure with us
You're very welcome. We had been waiting a long time to visit Morella. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and as for the sneek peek....what can we say..?!? Wait until next week...! 😬 Thanks for watching guys.😘💜🤟
Patata frita are what we call chips . Chips in Spain are crisps I made the same mistake . Lovely to see parts of Spain we have never seen,🤟🤟
Morning Martin, They are indeed. We did ask for patatas fritas, but they said that these were healthier. 🤷🏼♀️🤣💜🤟
Muy triste la situación de Miravet pir causa del agua, y así muchos pueblos de España 😢😒
Sí, es una situación muy triste para muchos países en todo el mundo. 🫤💜🤟
Hola chicos! Vayan a Miravet, en Tarragona muy cerca de ahí. Les encantará. Buen fin de semana 😂❤
Buenos días Ana ..! Miravet se guarda para nuestra próxima visita, esperamos volver a esta región, al salir de España, en nuestra aventura turca en unos pocos meses.😘💜🤟
How lovely it is to watch your videos in Spain. So thoughtful, beautiful music and informative. And what a stellar couple you are ❤
Aaaw Leah. What a lovely comment. Thank-you so much. We're glad that you enjoy adventuring along with us. Darren does work really hard to match the music to the adventure,. It's lovely to hear when it is appreciated. Much love from both of us. 😘💜🤟
In Teulada-Moraira they have declared a state of drought, and have announced that the water supply is not drinkable. The population is buying bottled water. What do you think of this situation?
Hi Susana, That's a very sad situation, that is unfortunately shared by a lot of the Spanish regions this year. 🫤💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife Yes, but tourism continues to consume the population's resources. What is your opinion on that?
@susanaescriba977 Personally we don't believe that tourism is the main problem. There are countries that are hotter, drier and have more tourism, but don't have the problem, as they have invested money into sustainable solutions. The big issue is how would Spain fund this..? We don't believe that removing the income from tourism is the answer. 💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife But the existing infrastructures are what they are and if mass tourism is destroying them, disregarding the needs of the population, it is an abuse. For example, I am not going to restrict the use of water necessary for my children and my daily life, so that you as a tourist come to waste that water, without caring a fig, or being aware of anything that goes beyond that than your own selfish enjoyment .
The problem with your issue is that tourism drains less than 1% of the Spanish water supply (from Spanish Government figures). So in the case of Moreira which quotes that 19% of its Income is from Tourism. You make the local environment 19% poorer to regain less than 1% of the water supply. We know this is frustrating for you, but removing tourists will not solve the problem. It will however give the area bigger financial problems. Finding sustainable long term solutions will always be a preferred option over finger pointing. Either way thank you for your comment and we do honestly hope your difficulties end soon 🤟♥️
All the windows have metal bars, is it safe?
Hi, Yes it's perfectly safe. Most houses in Spain have bars on the windows, so that the windows can be left open whenever needed, without concern. Thanks for watching and your comment. Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
A very relaxing video this one, obviously the effect of being in such a wonderful place where you could take your feet off the gas for a while. Lovely stuff! The beach looked quite vast there, so plenty of room for everyone and what a place to park up. It does feel rare to be able to get your chairs out! Loving the bit of Alison cam in the motorhome and that lunch looked absolutely lush. Just the sort of thing we love. Did you have some sort of grains or cous cous with that, it looked like it in the bowl? Either way, yum 😋 Darren, I (Dan) relate 100% to that procrastination of editing. I usually insist we're in the darkest, dingiest park up so as not to be tempted, that or a campsite where I can't see anything pretty, but it doesn't always work out and I'll still delay by annoying Stephen instead or something 😂 Poor Seb, but you are giving him a wonderful life in his twilight years. Our family dog who's with my mum is 13 and the old age effects are creeping in now. What has worked insanely well however are these YuMove Senior supplements, it's given her back so much energy and we really notice the difference if the tablets run out. Not saying that will be right for Seb, but could be an option. Anyway, take care both ❤ Dan & Steve 🤟
This beach is my (Alison) firm favourite. We loved everything about it and could happily have just stayed right there, all summer long. I think the main problem for Sebastian was the added weight of being waterlogged. He has a lot of fur that holds a lot of water and that's a bit much for a frail elderly gentleman. He had fun while he was there, just over did it. I often know how he feels. 🤣 With Seb's dementia, he does get brain fried very easily and at that point a lot of function stops, bless him. He did get a lot better with the new liver supportive supplement, but that seems to have worn off. He took them as treats to begin with, but now we have to hide them in his food and if he doesn't want that, we have to 'post' them directly. We use Hyaloral, which I believe is a similar thing to Yumove. 👍 Normally Darren's work ethic is really good and I TRY not to do anything fun while he is editing, so he doesn't feel that he's missing out, but the temptation of that beach was just too strong. 🤣🤣 Much love. 💜🤟
@findingxanadulife poor handsome Seb, I can imagine his weight almost doubles with all that water. Haha I don't blame you, I (begrudgingly) try to encourage Stephen to do things if I'm editing, but as long as it's not too nice or too fun 😂
@comealongdear Yeah Seb doesn't shake himself so much now, as he falls over when he does it. A throwback to his neurological attacks that he had a couple of years ago. Haha I can imagine you 'encouraging' Stephen to go and do something fun. I'll bet you try REALLY hard. 🤪😘💜🤟
Great beach! Poor old Seb, bless him. As you say as long as he still has a quality of life, even if he is no longer as boisterous as he used to be x x
Seb has had a really good few weeks, since he has been on the Liver supportive food and supplement, more active, more 'with it' less confused and almost inhaling the new food because he likes it so much and eating the supplement like it was a treat. Annoyingly, this week, he's having an absolute 'mare. Doesn't want his food, spits out the supplement, his co-ordination is dreadful and he's very confused again. It's his 15th birthday in a week and I so want him to see it, but I get the feeling he isn't keen at the moment. We are keeping a really close eye on him at the moment. 🥺💜🤟
Poor boy! Fingers crossed he picks up again. Lovely that he was clearly enjoying things up until the last few days. Difficult times and thinking of you all x x
@barryweeks6037 Thanks. Aging pets is always heartbreaking. 🥺💜🤟
Where do you find a home so cheap! Please share 🎉 I don’t mind to live in country side
Hi, We bought our home in 2018, but there are still some very reasonably priced houses in the Valenciana region. We would suggest taking a look at the 'Idealista' app for starters, to get an idea of prices for local regions. Thanks for your comment. Much love 💜🤟
I don't blame you two for spending a little extra time there. Beautiful place. Great vid guy's. 😎
It was really lovely Gareth. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. 💜🤟
Hi great video always informative We going to javea again end of August for 2 weeks 4:55
Hi Matthew. Thank-you. We'll be in the general area at the end of August. If you want to try to meet up again, drop us a message and we'll try to sort something out. That was a steep road..🤣 Much love 💜🤟
We’re looking to relocate to a part of Alicante…do you do consultations? Lots of things to ask.
Hi Andrew, No sorry, we don't do consultations. We're not sure how we would feel about charging people just for sharing our opinions and experiences with them. We would prefer people to support the channel because they want to, or feel we deserve it, rather than because we told them that they have to. If you have questions that you would like to ask us, drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll answer honestly and to the best of our abilities, for free. We'll look forward to your email. Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife very much appreciate that….and I mentioned a consultation as peoples time is worth money.And we wanted to as much as we can avoid the spill we constantly get from agents as we’re looking to buy…it reminds me of timeshare in the 1980s…but I shall subscribe as we watch your content as it’s impartial.we have found a property with 5 houses on it and I’d like to bring as many of the family as I can.but will also drop you an email.please enjoy your evening. Kindest regards
@AndrewFry-o5s We appreciate your thoughts. We almost fell for the lies of an English estate agent, which would have left us with an illegal property. Not only was it illegal, the town hall listed 7 reasons that it would never be legalised and should the council decide to have a clean up of illegal properties, it would have been high on the list for demolition. We had to learn fast. Always check the Cadastral register, to make sure that the property has been legally registered as what it's being described as. Drop us an email, we'll answer your questions and see what you need help with. If you feel that you want to donate to the channel at the end of it, Buy Me A Coffee allows people to make one off donations. We'll be in the Valencia/Alicante region until the end of September, before we head off on our next adventure. 💜🤟
One word for this video: Tranquille Subtitle: The relaxing tourist.
Haha yes..! Darren was a very reluctant editor that week. Ordinary carparks are better for working scenarios, he is easily distracted by the beauty of mother nature. 🤣 Much love Towah 💜🤟
That beach looks awesome 👍😎
Hey Nina (and Philip) It was amazing..! Another place that we didn't want to leave. Our favourite beach yet, although we have a fair few more on our list to check out, so who knows. 😬 Much love. 😘💜🤟
We dont have a favorite beach in Spain yet...but we love Limantour, Point Reyes CA, and Carmel River Beach in Monterey CA for our two favorites....but Lake Geneva and Lake Zurich are our current water source these last couple days. 🙂
Hey Don and Diana and Oliver..! Should we get to ship to the USA, we will try to check them out. For now, we'll look on Google maps. Fingers crossed Lake Geneva and Lake Zurich we will get to see much sooner. 🤪 Have a great time. Much love from both of us. 😘😘💜🤟
Sorry to inform you, but you are Not in the region of Valencia you are in Cataluña The river Ebro and the flag without the blue on the left of the flag are basic signs of where you are
To be honest, we found the whole region confusing as to where we were, but either way, it was a stunning place. 😍 No need to be sorry, we like to be corrected when we mess up. Thank-you so much for your comment. 😬💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife we watched your videos every week and we are jealous of your lifestyle good luck
Thank-you so much. We are very lucky to be able to live our lives like this. We have been jealous of many others, for many years. Do you travel..?!? Where has your favourite place been so far..?? We hope you like the videos and will come along with us when we head out on our next adventure to Türkiye. Much love 💜🤟
The lazy days of summer, when the heat just force us to relax 😎🤟
Yes indeed. It was too hot to do much else. 🤷🏼♀️💜🤟
En Mercadona venden un repelente de mosquitos muy bueno es un spray pequeño de color naranja cuesta 2€ y poco más ye lo aplicas por el cuerpo y listo.
Hola,Tenemos spray repelente de mosquitos, pero no podemos rociarlo dentro de la autocaravana debido a los animales. La citronela tampoco es buena para los animales. Eventualmente encontraremos algo que podamos usar. Gracias por mirar y por tu comentario, es muy apreciado.💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife el spray que os digo no se rocía se frota en tu cuerpo y dura horas es muy bueno,probadlo,los hay en todos los mercadonas es pequeño y color naranja pone repelente en el recipiente.
@contrerassev Ah, está bien. Lo buscaremos. Muchas gracias.💜🤟
We really loved the beach in this week's video. Our favourite yet. We would love to hear where your favourite beach is. We hope you enjoy the video..! Much love, Alison and Darren 😘💜🤟
Barafundle Bay, Pembrokeshire.
@barryweeks6037 What a fabulous name for a bay. We shall Google it immediately. 😍💜🤟
@barryweeks6037 Ps It looks bloody amazing and has been added to our list, just in case we should ever get to that area. Good choice. 😘💜🤟
We're with Barry, that beach is outstanding! Probably in our top 5. You walk to get to it across a few clifftop areas, then descend via this gorgeous old stone arch and staircase that gives a magical view over the bay. Anyway, off to watch!
@comealongdear Having looked on Google and the photos that Barry messaged us, we agree, it looks incredible. Should we finally get around to visiting Wales, it will be high on our list of places to head for. I bet the water is cold though. 🤣💜🤟
I've being going to Milfontes for nearly 20 years. I'll be out there again the end of next Month. Medicine for the soul.
Sounds like perfection. We really liked it too. Enjoy your trip next month. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's much appreciated. 💜🤟
Morning guys, well that was a blinder of a place wasnt it?! 😲😍 I dont often pin things for us to see later (in part because I forget, but mostly because I'm never sure if we'll ever get to visit even a fraction of them) but I have pinned this one, although my first thought was hearing Stephen protesting 😂🙈 Guess I could leave him by the river while I climb up the village 🤷♂️ Alcalá del Júcar was sensational and you captured it beautifully, but my god that was steep. No wonder you were knackered. The caves were very impressive and seemed to go deep, couldnt believe you ended up back at the top again 😂🤦♂️ The river beach looked perfect too if a little busy. 41 degrees 😬 Jesus! It was pushing 30 here yesterday and that was bad enough 😂 Question for Darren, does it take you as long as it does me to match music to clips?! It takes me forever and then sometimes still doesn't quite fit together after all that effort. The joke is our longest video, the van tour, was the easiest and quickest to put together because it was mostly clips of talking. Trouble is, I like putting music in...I just need to be quicker 😂 So yeah just wondering if you have that issue too (the music in this vid with the clips was great by the way ❤) Safe travels both, much love ❤🤟
Alcalá was amazing, but we REALLY should have gone on a cooler day. 🤣 I would have loved to throw myself (Alison) in the river afterwards, but we had to think of the critters. Definitely take your swimmers though. 🩳 We have sooo many places bookmarked and it helps us plan our trips. We have a destination in mind, then travel via as many 📌's as we can. 😬 As for Darren and the music, yes, it takes him hours. He is obsessive with it and if it doesn't even slightly line up, he'll can the track and find another. He's very conscientious and more than a bit of a perfectionist, but we love him for it. 😍 Much love 💜🤟
@@findingxanadulifeI'm glad it's not just me then, although sometimes (especially lately with our laptops playing up) I just let it be as is, or I mess up, like the music in the model museum in this vid. Darren does a good job with it. I find picking music with a, how shall we say, consistent and easy to time beat makes placing the clips easier as they can usually be the same length. But often the music I want isn't like that, so...🤦♂️ Completely understandable about the critters, they are priority! But if we do visit we'll get the swimwear ready 😁🙏❤️ xxx
@comealongdear Haha Let's just say, if I ever have to do any of the editing at any point, it will be blatantly obvious. Technology hates me and I have no patience with it. Give me a feral cat any day. 🤣 Much love.😘💜🤟
Looks amazing
It was Matthew. Thanks for watching and your comment. Much love as always, Alison and Darren 💜🤟
That beach is Moraig belonging to Cumbre del Sol... it's at the bottom of my street
Hey Karla, You're so lucky, we really loved that beach. I hope you get free parking as a local..! Thanks for watching. Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
❤thank you x
You are most welcome. We hate that you guys are having such a crappy time. Much love.😘😘😘🥰🥰💜🤟
Hi both, how do the animals get on in your motor home when you’re not there ? Do you have air con?
Hey Sarah, No, we don't have Aircon in the habitation area, only in the cab. We would only be able to use Aircon whilst we were on electric hook-up, or for a short time, as the solar panel wouldn't power it for very long, or we run the engine for a while and blast the cab Aircon. We always try to park in the shade, leave the roof windows open and have electric fans running to keep the air circulating. The critters also have cool mats, although seem to prefer not to lay on them. They do like to stick to ground level a lot of the time. There are little bunkers created where the footwells would be for 2 extra travelling passengers, Spud and Mahpiya both like to get in there and they stay surpringly cool. It's usually cooler inside than out, as motorhomes have pretty good insulation. Animals can definitely cope with a wider range of temperatures than humans can and Bart has to be dragged out of the sun when we are parked. If there is a choice of sun or shade, he'll always choose the sun until we force him to move. We've only had to dampen them down once, the day it hit 41°c in the shade and we were in the motorhome too. Then we dampened them down and drove to somewhere else, blasting the Aircon in the cab whilst we drove. Thanks for your comment..! Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
She’ll kill me if I kill myself! 😂
Cool video, I need to pass Alcalá De Júcar on my list to places to visit.
Very much so, it's a really lovely place. Make sure you take your swimwear and make the most of the river beach after walking around the castle and town. 🤣 Much love 💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife Thank you. Will do.
What an amazing town although the climbs look hard work on a hot day. You looked shattered Alison! Thank you so much for your shout out and kind and caring words. You are two lovely, wonderful human beings and a big reason we have watched every video you have made x x
Aaaw Barry and Sarah, you're so welcome. You're part of the family now...! It was rediculously hot walking around the village, especially when we walked down to almost the bottom, then went into the cave and had to climb all those stairs, ending up at the top of the village again. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ I would have loved to go back and throw myself into the river, but we had to think of the critters in the heat. 😘🥰💜🤟
You've done it again... Alcalá del Júcar looks amazing. Keep up the brilliant work, cant wait to see where you've been every Sunday 👏👏👏
Thanks Dave. We've got a few absolute corkers coming up in the next few videos, we're sure you won't be disappointed, but no spoilers...! 🤪 Thanks for watching as always 😬💜🤟
Looks so UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL MAGICAL ❤THANK YOU FOR this amazing video 🙌🙌🤩🤩
You are very welcome Wanda. We really enjoyed our visit. Please feel free to check out some of the other stunning locations that we have been to in the past on our other videos. Much love and thanks for watching, Alison and Darren 💜🤟
Hay que investigar quién construyó estas cuevas si musulmanes o cristianos o....ambos😊
Parece que los musulmanes estaban allí primero y luego los cristianos se mudaron después, por lo que el artículo de Internet que leí sugirió que eran los musulmanes.💜🤟
Thank you for this week's video and last weeks . Are place in murca is close to them we must visit them once again thank you 🤟🤘
You're very welcome Martin. We really enjoyed our visits. Thanks for watching. 💜🤟
Alcalá del Júcar. Río Júcar. Que lugar tan precioso ! No lo conocía. La Comunidad Valenciana tiene lugares increíblemente bellos, aparte de la Paella.😅
Estamos muy sorprendidos de haber encontrado un lugar que no conocías. Hay un lugar llamado Jorquera cerca al que iremos cuando regresemos de Türkiye.Se ve igualmente hermoso. Valencia tiene muchos lugares hermosos. Esperamos ver muchos de ellos más en el futuro. Mucho amor, 💜🤟
provincia de albacete,,casi en la frontera? pero albacete
Lo siento Justiniano, Tienes razón. Alcalá del Júcar está en Castilla-La Mancha. 💜🤟
@@findingxanadulife Hola, yo solo se que el río Júcar desemboca en Valencia, pensé que Alcalá de... Estaba en esa comunidad. Un pueblo precioso de Albacete por donde pasa el río Júcar es Alcaraz. Eso sí ambos lugares son la Mancha la tierra del Quijote, hoy Castilla la Mancha .🤗👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
@anacasanova7350 Hemos agregado Alcaraz a nuestra lista de lugares para visitar en el futuro.💜🤟
How weird?,i saw the vlog when you diced with death walking on those suspended bridges in Spain and now i'm watching Carcassonne vlogs for inspiration you guys pop up again.
Hi Gerald, Yep, we certainly get around..! 🤣 Maybe KZread was suggesting that it would be a great idea for you to subscribe to our channel and see where else we have been. 😉🤭 Carcassonne citadel was a personal favourite of mine (Alison). Everything I adore in one place and as it was such a cold day when we went, it wasn't heaving with tourists either. We got to really make the most of our visit. The Chateau Comtal was busy, but most definitely worth it. It's also free to enter on the first Sunday of each month, from October to March, if I remember rightly. We are currently planning our next big adventure, heading to Türkiye and back to Spain, that will take us 2 years from the end of September this year. Scary and exciting stuff. All joking aside, thanks for watching our Carcassonne vlog, we really loved making it. Much love, Alison and Darren 💜🤟
In season they clear the weed.
Thanks for letting us know. 😬💜🤟
Hi guys, did you know those security gates are to protect the doors from the bulls? 😂😉 I'd never have guessed that, and as you say, it's not in your region where you lived. I dont really know what a bull run is, not entirely sure I want to 😬 Sometimes life gets in the way of travel and content, don't worry about that, I think people are just as interested in how you live your life in a motorhome as they are about the travels and places. Running around trying to find places to print things out, then driving to whatever bank/post office etc you need, is but one of the joys 🤦♂️ We envy you and your shower! As we've said before, we do have one, but in reality it's not practical to use. So we do go that ickle bit longer without, however outside of campsites, service stations are surprisingly handy for it, even in the UK. Do you find you have to refill water a lot when you use your shower or is your tank substantial enough? Mind you again, that's another thing - unless youre on a campsite, water is awkward to get in the UK, which is hilarious given we must have more than Spain 🤷♂️ It's just not as easily set up for it here, although we did find a free proper aire in Scotland recently after we got home to the UK. Who'd have thunk it! Very annoying when you can't film in certain sites, we've had that recently, which fine okay, it's their rules, but it does rather hamper vlog-making attempts 😂 Still, how we love Spanish prices for attractions compared to here! Poor Bart but glad it was nothing too serious. Dogs are so resilient and don't always show pain or discomfort it seems, which can make it harder to spot things. Safe travels both and hope you find some cool weather. Dan & Stephen xx ❤ P.S - The shot around 13.20 as you walked past someone showering on a beach was unintentionally hilarious, they looked like they were frozen to the spot, I had to question if it was a real person 😂
Hey guys, Nope, we had zero idea that the doors were to stop bulls. We felt really stupid afterwards as it seemed so obvious, but in our defense, our immediate region doesn't have Bull traditions and we've not seen any bull orientated fiestas, we would avoid them. It's great however that the mystery is solved. I'm not sure Darren even thought about recording the flap to find a printer etc. I think we were both just so thrown that the tax had to be paid that day, that all thoughts of everything else went out of the window. 🤷🏼♀️ As for showers, it's so much easier in Spain as there are so many free motorhome areas in small villages dotted everywhere that filling up every couple of days if we're travelling isn't a problem. If we're static, we probably empty and refill every 2-3 days depending on how clean we want to be. 🤣🤣🤣 When we were in the UK and not based at my parents house, we had to go much longer between showers. 🤣🤣🪰🪰🪰 We didn't notice the person having a shower in the video. I'll have to have another look. I do hope they didn't freeze because they realised that they were on camera and weren't happy about it. 🥺 If it was the case, they didn't say anything.🤷🏼♀️ Thankfully Bart is now fully healed and back to being nosey into everything. This is how he manages to injure himself so often and only makes a fuss if he stands on something sharp or skins his pads on his paws drifting to a stop whilst playing fetch. Bless the little Muppet. Anywhoozle, hope your few weeks work isn't too boring and you can get back to enjoying the countryside soon. Much love from both of us. 😘🥰 💜🤟
@findingxanadulife I didn't know about the doors either, I just wanted to chime in with the other comments 🤪😂 It does make us laugh (in a fond way!) how you can guarantee if you have a question or conundrum in a 30 minute video, that will be what people comment on, and then people will repeat it continuously despite it already being answered 😂 I mean that in an affectionate way of course, it happens on our videos too so you find yourself acknowledging the same thing over and over 😂🙃 We do envy your water ease there! In Germany it was simple too, you did often have to pay at aires for water, but we're talking a tiny amount, same with electric, so it was always worth it. And thank you, we are currently starting a now 6 week stint of work but I'm sure it'll be okay. Honestly? It's quite nice to sit still for a bit. There's 3 more Europe videos to come, then about 3 from the UK so we'll only miss a week maximum I think, then there'll be a massive time jump. Confusing, but no other way to do it if we want to release every Sunday. Take care both ❤️🤟
Haha yes, that does happen and by the time we released the video, we already knew the answer, as someone had commented on our Instagram post, but hey..? To be fair, I don't read the comments on the videos I watch and I doubt Darren does either, it takes too long. 🤣 We very rarely need electricity, but yes, also happy to pay a small amount for it. I'm sure no-one will mind the time jump for your videos, they'll just happily watch along like we do. 🤪 We coped with it after the Portugal trip, we'll cope again. Much love, stay safe. 😘💜🤟
Morning guys, just catching my breath watching that, as Darren you've reminded me what it feels like to film while walking uphill 😂 Never mind the trip hazards which we also ignore when a camera's in hand 🙈 It's a difficult job multitasking, I think the lungs as well as the brain struggle to keep up 😂. Mind you, its harder for you guys there in the Spanish heat! A satisfying cornucopia of delightful places this week, Castril and that canyon was a never ending wow moment! What a gorgeous village, and then that impressive canyon with the beautiful water. Divine ❤ Always frustrating turning up to a place to find it shut only an hour earlier, or only for that day, especially when the plan is to film 😂🤦♂️ I did love the chapel in the cliff. A shame about parts of Villena, but even then you could see how nice it would be if the buildings were restored. Those traditional looking Spanish homes certainly have something about them. Much love both, and onto the next one ❤🤟
Hey Guys, Breathing and talking whilst climbing steps or a steep slope is never easy, that's why I (Alison) try to stay quiet. For both of us, sometimes just walking, breathing and not tripping over is a task too far. (It's worse for Darren who is the clumsiest) 🤣 We really loved the places we visited in this video. There was always something gorgeous to look at (other than Darren) and again the people were so nice. As for turning up to places that are closed, it serves us right for me not doing my research properly. #MustTryHarder 🤣 There are definitely more jaw dropping places to come...🤪 Much love 😘🥰💜🤟
It's 25C max where we, and the rest of the Spanish are. Enjoy roasting, you are in the wrong place 😂
Oh Justin, you forgot to say where you are as you are correct, we are in the wrong place and not enjoying being slowly roasted. Although we are actually currently sat in the inner Castellon region where it's late 20s which is perfect. Downside, we do have to return to our home region at the end of the week which is going to be 39 when we get there.
@findingxanadulife that was intentional, just in case even more homes on wheels turn up 🤣
Good shout..! 🤣🤣🤣💜🤟
A different one (than the ones I was used to since I joined) but still .. it is foreign, places I haven't been (and some I also do not feel tempted to visit 🙂). Thanks again, next week cannot be worse. Keep filming!!
Hey Towah, We don't always enjoy the places that we visit either. 🤣 One of the places we visit next week is Alcalá del Júcar, which you will definitely want to visit. 😉 Thanks for sticking with us. Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
