Thank you for this video. Youre right. The coins are tricky. I had a bag of coins. The value of these coins back home (in the US) would have been about 1. 50. It was over 11 dollars. I just kept a bag for my coins. I also had to get used to the strange shape of the bills. I must have played too much Monopoly as a child because it totally felt like play money. at first. I also agree that prices were so much better in Spain. We stayed at very nice hotels but the quality and amenities more that made up for the dollar exchange rate. I was surprised that one of our hotels in Barcelona actually supplied bath salts, shaving kit, two tooth brush/tooth paste and of course the normal shampoo, conditioner, lotion, sewing kit, shower cap, cosmetic kit. These items were already on our bathroom counter in every Spanish hotel upon check in.

Im wondering why you didn't mention this because as a non Spanish speaking (or reading) tourist: most European countries write numbers different than the US. So if you go to buy something you may have to rely upon just handing money over. Also, don't some restaurants have you pay at the door after you've already eaten? How do you communicate what you just ate if neither speak the same language?

Hi. I'll visit Madrid for the first time soon this year and I am wondering if you could share info about the wifi connection in Madrid? Should tourists buy a SIM card with an internet package included or is wifi available for free in restaurants, cafes, etc. ? Thank you so much.

Hi Mark, informative and helpful as always. Reluctant to appear pushy - but we film virtual walks through Spanish cities, so perhaps this may be helpful to your viewers before their visit?

Hi! I'm from Spain, if you really wanna taste a good paella go to Valencia. I'm from there and I've been to another places in Spain and tried their paella and honestly it's much worse.

Yeap, the tip is here considered more like an extra for really good service, and is usually a couple of euros or the change you are returned when paying

American still think that Spanish people do like them, it's so funny. Most of us truly hate Americans because how they think and their culture.

One thing you didn't comment is that the murder rate is 750% lower here, here you can walk to most of the places day or night even alone.
