People often ask for recommendations for places to eat or stay when in Spain and when walking a Camino. James Blick is a Kiwi who married a Spanish lady, they both now live in Madrid with their young daughter and they earn their living by writing and videoing guides to various activities, cities and regions in Spain. https://www.thatch.co/guide/3vn1ssm...f9-ad4345593b4e&s_f=p&s_t=android_share&s_b=n

I don't get a cut for recommending James and Yoly's guides but I have used them myself and I find them excellent. They tend to aim at a mid to low end market, the sort of people who often are in Spain on a pilgrimage.

James also does a series of guides for people wanting to move permanently or long term to live in Spain and if you are interested in this information then there is probably a link somewhere or Google James Blick Spain (https://www.spainrevealed.com/)

Enjoy!


For Mods, this is slightly commercial but not commercial to me and the guides are good value and will be of interest to some people visiting Ivar's site.

Yes, me too. I enjoyed, and have watched many of James Blick and Yoli's Spain Revealed videos.
