We'd love to hear your thoughts below guys How can we make tourism better? How can we ensure that overtourism doesn't ruin the very thing that as tourists we want to experience? 👇🏽 Comment from : Spain Revealed

Tourism is MASS tourism nowadays This new brand of tourist should be hosted in the outskirts of any city, in basic facilities similar to the ones that are built for refugees Think of it, you kill two birds with one shot: provide the cheapest housing for the hordes of infamous tourists and you don’t clog our beautiful centers with low life cheap tourist apartments Comment from : Arcabuz

I agree When I travel, I want to experience the area like a local Comment from : Ashley Ward

I've just had 12 days in Fuengirola, busiest I've ever seen it, I've been visiting since 1996, my parents lived there for 20 years, it is cheap if you shop around James, maybe the capital city bubble has burst!!Great channel! Comment from : Ian Christopherson

Don’t worry, the tourists will be back…but personally speaking, I’ve learned that eating out is really too expensive, and not really good value for money, sick of paying £20 for a steak, that I can cook better…and I think we are all getting a little more careful Comment from : Nigel Lee

The change started already before coronathe epidemic accelerated the inevitable Comment from : jpandyaraja

I really do believe that tourism is a form of gentrification I live in a touristic coastal town and it's getting very hard to rent anything decent, since owners much rather turn It into an Airbnb Comment from : AngryCandy89

So true, mi Yaya (Abuela) lives near the Park Güell, and when she must go to a grocery in la Plaça Sanllehy, she can't sit anymore in the Bus because of the tourist Comment from : KEIT

I wonder if this phenomenon happens in places like Switzerland, where the tourists are probably not as wealthy as the locals Comment from : Trem

maybe the local government should make a zoning policy limiting the number of hotels that can operate in a city center Comment from : Trem

I LOVE this point of view!! Comment from : Kindra Blyleven

We are moving to Alicante in June Do you have any tips for finding jobs? Thanks, Grant and Millie Comment from : Grant and Millie

Great video and great questions I think it is a worldwide problem where cities are being gentrified and catered to tourists to the point that the entire energy of the city becomes stale and generic I live in Seattle, Washington, USA and it is a huge problem here No one can afford to live in the city center unless they are wealthy - you can only find very small apartments (150-250 sq feet) for no less than $1000, usually closer to $2000 Older buildings with character are being ripped down constantly for big multi-use high-rises which have no character My partner and I live a 20 minute drive from downtown Seattle and our apartment is $1500 per month The service workers- baristas, bartenders, hotel staff, etc have to commute an hour or more sometimes just to get downtown to work If this type of thing keeps happening, we will lose what we all love so much about individual cities, and that makes me so sad Thank you for brining light to the subject!

Best!👍brTop! Comment from : Vitus Merwee

Siempre hubo turismo en España (por lo menos desde que yo tengo uso de razón), pero lo de los últimos años ha sido totalmente desproporcionado y no parecía haber un límite No hacía falta coronavirus para darse cuenta que cada vez menos gente vivía en los centros y casi todo estaba destinado al turismo y que la gente que habitaba los centros de las ciudades era expulsada por no poder pagar los precios que se piden La democratización del turismo, las compañías de bajo coste, Airbnb y demás han contribuido a que las ciudades sean para los turistas y los vecinos se han visto desplazados Barcelona lleva años sufriéndolo, más que cualquier otra ciudad española Pero la oferta turística se ha ampliado tanto y multiplicado de tal manera (hay turismo para todos los gustos), que ya casi ningún lugar se libra El turismo con un cierto equilibrio, está bien, pero es que hoy en día nada tiene equilibrio Hay demasiada gente en el planeta, demasiado consumismo, demasiado poco respeto y solo importa el dinero, vivir la experiencia, sacarte una foto, decir que has estado allí No sé vosotros pero las últimas veces que he ido a alguna ciudad y he tenido que alquilar un airbnb, cada vez me ha ido gustando menos la experiencia y mucho antes del corona ya pensaba que no está bien contribuir a ese expolio de los barrios donde vive (vivía) la gente Volví de Lisboa con un bajón de la hostia y de New York igual Una sensación asquerosa que nada tenía que ver con las anteriores veces que había ido a ambos lugares hace 15-20 años Porque una cosa es que en un edificio haya un piso turístico y otra cosa muy distinta es que TODO el vecindario sean pisos turísticos y no haya nadie que viva allí de forma continuada De manera que se convierten en sitios fantasma Se convierten en decorados sin ningún tipo de alma Muchas de las ciudades principales del mundo se las ha cargado el turismo y es evidente desde mucho antes que esta pandemia Pero no solo pasa en las ciudades, en Euskadi está pasando con parajes naturales Grabaron algunas escenas de "Juego de Tronos" en San Juan de Gaztelugatxe y ahora ese mágico lugar está también overcrowded Lo mismo con el Flysch de Zumaia, que por lo visto grabaron escenas de "8 apellidos vascos" allí Y así con todo La raza humana es así y con la aparición del internet, los smartphones, las RRSS etc la cosa ha ido a mucho peor Comment from : Eneko Etxeandia

I think videos like this will do really well in spanish toobrAlso other vídeos as well Comment from : marcelox123

I love your videos and, God willing, I want to come and visit Spain soon Please don't lose hope, tourists will go back to enjoy the warmth of Spaniards I plan to visit more outside the center Keep it up! Comment from : Jenny P

No It is the Gvmt who is traying its best to ruin the country Tourism represents just 12 of Spain's GDP, including local tourisim Foreing tourisim reached the non despicable amount of 70000 M € last year, wich is important but nothing to be worried about in a country whose GDP was 1244 billion € Comment from : robert111k

To mean that is the purpose of travel Eating at the local bars/restaurants, cycling through beautiful scenery that is different from where I live We hubsa and I were in Spain and France 4 years ago, I refused to have coffee at Starbucks A friend of mine has a Facebook group dedicated keeping local restaurants open I go out of my way to go to small family -owned restaurants, they really need us Comment from : Marisa Stone OBrien

So James & Yollis Family Tapas bar looks like a goer, last stop on every tour, who knew ? Staff it with work experience people & people who share your Zest for Life, perhaps a Kickstarter fund from your followers ? Let me know where to send my $50 You two have the vision to make a difference Comment from : wayne makka

Amazing video and thank you so much for putting this together! My wife is from Almería and I absolutely love everything about Spain I hope this whole experience does get cities re-thinking this tourism phenomenon so more of the most historic part of the cities can have that local feel It would be amazing to dedicate a certain percentage of the area that had affordable enough housing for locals to stay around or something Not sure how it could be done, but there has to be something innovative that can be done Thanks again! Comment from : Alex M Dorr

Very sad but tourism is good with the good times otherwise it is not a self sufficient industry Comment from : Carl Loureiro

Vulture Fund! What an accurate term for the blanderization of all our cities and neighborhoods by global brands that are using COVID as an opportunity to sweep out the Mom&Pops! Why visit Madrid if it comes to feels no different from San Dimas? Comment from : Jon Bogdanove

Great video - seeing & feeling the same in Granada city & province Comment from : Beth Wallace

Nice video Love Spain always wanted to do a pub crawling in Madrid Hopefully soon Comment from : Crypto Guy

We go to Spain every two years from US and we land in Madrid or Barcelona and get the hell out of the city, the quicker we do it the better Little towns is where true Spain is We have had such great experiences in little towns around Spain and way cheaper Comment from : Deez Nuts

The government can should just invest in surrounding areas infrastructure? Outside the center to spread around the tourists Comment from : Dan Bam

Jacinda Ardern, New Zelands  Prime Minister's ethos and approach to Covid 19 would have profoundly helped and changed the direction of this virus in Spain and Europe We should have taken her advice and acted like wisebrNow we are ALL suffering needlessly to the whims and wanton devastation of this pandemic God help us all Comment from : CJ McEleavy

interesting discussion around how unchecked tourism is destroying everything local in its ugly unregulated path When I was in Barca and Madrid back in the early 80,s, I truly struggled , in a good way to survive My Spanish was patheticNow I won’t consider going there because it’s so overrun Devour Travel has done played part in that phenomenon Am I the only one who thought that you guys were suggesting that now would the perfect time to come? You still operating right? Comment from : paul gilliland

Lo que ha arruinado España es la mierda que votáis Comment from : jgmedina

Wow, that was a great video It's sad this happens in very touristy places Comment from : Mew4U

For myself, I learned to speak the language of my favorite foreign country so that I had more options for exploring that country, outside the tourist traps Comment from : Tom Manion

Huertas is lost Plaza de Ana is a desert Mercado San Miguel has been raped Now they are trying to take over Lavapiés Think I'm going to Moratalaz Comment from : Stuart C

Spanish way of life has always been a lie since it was packaged and sold to foreigners Comment from : gvi341984

I just hope I'm able to travel to spain by febuary from America 😔 Comment from : Stefano

I lived in Madrid in Iglesias I cannot imagine living in a dead Madrid ¡Que triste! Comment from : Ana Maria

This happens in London too The city centre is empty whereas the neighbourhoods are busier than ever, I guess because people don't live in the centre Comment from : CARLOS Martínez Giménez

I guess most tourists from around Europe are in Greece and Amsterdam I was there for the whole month of August, it was quite busy Comment from : Davis Urdaneta

Tourism made Spain a less poor country Socialism ruined Spain though Comment from : Fernando Navarro

Barcelona don't want tourists since few years ago They are the winner now! Comment from : V8

0:59 not corona virus did this, scare tactic of many governments are to blame Now nobody wants to go out because people are scared of infection Not to mention face masks that limit how much air you can breath in and gas you with breathed out CO2 Comment from : Agnostic2008

We all know there over egging the pudding, yet we continue to adhere to the narrative Keep calm and wear a muzzle Comment from : Arnold Clarke

Facing the disease with courage, totally liberating tourism, protecting the eldery and the weak The financial crises is killing far more than covid Comment from : SCROOGE1111

Let's rethink tourism Recuperemos los baretos y el comercio de toda la vida En el centro y en los barrios ¡Mucho Ánimo! Comment from : Pablo Pablo

Same in London Comment from : RickP2012

In my humble opinion, there are 2 problems 1Access to credit for young entrepreneurs 2 high rentsbrI lived in Beckenham ( outskirts of London ) and even successful businesses were just outpriced and replaced by a chain who could afford paying better rent brThere needs to be some mild regulation in place , otherwise chains keep on clustering(renting a place for just a few months just for the sake of having exposure and driving competitors out) Comment from : O E

Good luck guys! Comment from : O E

Watching you video it's like lots of city not just big ones I stay used to work in Glasgow stay outside and anytime I go in I see a change to Comment from : martin quinn

Thanks, guys! Another person who had the very same questions some time ago"Travel has nothing to do with moving your bottom from one place to another" - Quote from "El Rey Tuerto" I think we have to educate ourselves in so many aspects and traveling should be on our list It seems that nothing we consume has limits However, pre-COVID times, the city centers in so many cities seemed to have reached its breaking point So, as travelers, why were we just adding places to our must-see and not-original-at-all list? Isn't it better to travel less and experience a lot more? And let's create our own memories with people from there, real food, regular neighborhoods, local events Comment from : Ana

This is what happens when government interferes with the market All the people making the rules about staying in your house, wearing a mask, not meeting more than x amount of people are still earning their salaries Perhaps if their livelihood depended on the state of the economy, they'd actually think about what they are doing Comment from : Ragnar

You have loaded the plate with food for thought in this video I don't work directly in tourism, but used to in an adjunct way, in Mexico I taught Spanish to Gringos, mostly American and Canadian ex-pats who were spending at least their winters in sunny Mexico, When the security situation was deteriorating in many parts of Mexico, the US put out all sorts of terse warnings and Americans stopped coming Canadians continued to arrive, and I noticed that my classes went from 80/20 US to 80/20 Canada I changed parts of my teaching to reflect this Ok, what I'm driving at is education for tourists That's exactly what you have been doing and continue to do Your exploration of cities beyond Madrid and coastal gems, like Cuenca and Caceres, are an excellent move and will bring people to those fantastic cities long after Covid is at least manageable Yet, considering Madrid and Barcelona, visiting the Casco Viejo and staying there is two different things The expansion of where to stay, beyond the center, at least on a node of transportation, is a good start We have tried to balance this in our travels One, to go to places less known, like Zaragoza, that are fantastic to visit Two, to consider how our actions, even if small ones, affect the locals We saw push-back against ATs (tourist apartments) in Sevilla and Barcelona, and didn't stay in one We stayed in an AT in smaller cities where the tourist push-out-the-locals effect is smaller or not apparent I think that at least acknowledging the problem and seeking solutions is the first step Now it gets collaborative to try to solve it and the people who live or make a living in city centers need to be brought into the conversation Comment from : Tim Murphy

Wow, ok wow I'm American and I am applying for a student visa for Spain starting in November I was so stoked about going to Barcelona during this time because I was thinking, "I'll have this wonderful city all to myself and the locals!" I didn't know how right I was Comment from : jip230

The globalists already have almost completely destroyed tourism, which is not considered a sustainable activity by them Airplanes, hotels and travel agencies will be a thing of the past for average people Those who will still be able to afford to travel, will need an adequate social scoring and and proof that they have been vaccinated against covid19 Whoever takes the Rothschild mRNA "vaccine" will die of cancer within a few yearsbr(You can laugh off, what I have just written here and call me names But I care about that as little as you bothered to care about what's really going on in the world In the meantime you can wear your slave masks, that will not protect you from anything other than a fine untill they make you roll up your sleeves You have been warned !) Comment from : Bob Anderson

Stay strong both of youbrI hope the tourist come back soonbrbrthe exact same is happening in Barcelona, the centre is dead, in August one would have thouhht you was in an abounded villagebrbrThanks againbrkeep the faithbrUn abrazo enorme desde Barcelona brDaryl Comment from : City Fan

A once great city now empty, sterile and desolate Small and medium sized businesses boarded up Tourism dead Just what Sanchez and Iglesias wanted They must be pleased with themselves Comment from : mediastarguest

Its all very sadyou are very postive people , you will find your way, love and unity and Viva España Comment from : Mari Carmen y sus neurosis

Love your channel! As someone who used to live in Madrid (95-2000) it saddens me greatly to see what has happened and right now I wouldn't go near the place Never thought I'd say that The Spanish government are a disgrace but they're reading off the same hymn sheet as the rest of the world This is all part of an economic reset dubbed the 4th industrial revolution by the world economic forum Covid is being used as the bogeyman More chance of people under the age of 70 dying in a bike accident unless they're obese or diabetic brbrA goal of the World Economic Forum is to create a literal Internet of Bodies using 5G (soon 6G) and “smart city” Internet of Things sensors Whether people are linked to blockchain via Covid biometric health passports or education transcripts, the result will be the same We are crossing the threshold not just into surveillance capitalism, but into full-on biocapitalism Our bodies mined for data that will run massive futures markets in human capital They need blockchain identity, and they need it brought to scale However until that happens, there is still time to change course and fight for a humane economic system that respects all children of the earth and future generations Blockchain will not empower the people, it will turn them into digital commodities Secured on ledgers, the plan is for us to be scored, sifted, and sorted in a brutish program of fierce competition and precariousness Make no mistake, the oligarchs value the reliability of robots over the cunning of humans Universal Basic Income, and digital vouchers for education, housing and healthcare are poison apples, not “solutions” meant to help the masses Blockchain is a deception If we take the bait, we’ll end up “playable” characters in an augmented reality “game of life” cooked up by the CIA and defense contractors to benefit hedge funds Don’t fall for it" Alison Hawver McDowellbrbrThe public have to stand up to the tyranny It's our only chance of saving all the beautiful tradition you highlight in your wonderful videos! God bless De Madrid al cielo! Comment from : Ocean Waves

As soon as the USA election is over (Nov 3, 2020), the pandemic will magically 'end' Hold out until late November!! Suerte! Comment from : BRUNO

Nobody wants to live in crowded and noisy streets full of idiots Comment from : Blanca

When I discovered you're channel in March, I contacted your company with a full intention of coming in the fall They emailed me back right away with excellent detailed explanation of your tour I really hope this whole thing will be over soon so that you can get back to work by helping other discover your beautiful country I do enjoy visiting local areas rather than tourist center for my restaurant and hotels Best of luck to both of you Comment from : Eynat

It's karma Think of all the countries they looted and raped for a few hundred years Comment from : Joey Toronto Canuck

You two, James and Yoli, And people like you is what Madrid will need when we can finally put COVID behind us To rebuild the enthusiasm for travel and all the small places that are a part of a great city Comment from : Charles Duzzie

Tourism built modern Spain and it may well unmake her Comment from : Tex Arkana

Bar Cerveriz closed? A shame Good tortilla was ubiquitous in Madrid way back in the 90s so where the neighborhood bares People move out and move on Comment from : Worst Chores Made Simple

In the mean time, these spaniards unemployed or underemployed of tourism should be learning how to speak english, german, mandarine or at least CPR But Remember the wild 1920s, everything will soar back and beyond; get ready in case it happens again Comment from : Sweet Melon

You two guys are amazing I love your videos Comment from : Kenly Mendoza

Why is he talking about hustling and bustling in med pandemic nostalgia Welcome to the new world , it won’t ever be the same again Comment from : Zigzag

Maybe the locals aren't out and about because they don't like living in a police state and being forced to wear face diapers in public Why would anybody go out except to purchase absolute necessities? The video title more aptly would be, 'Has its government ruined Spain?' Comment from : gsjackson34
