We leave our first aire in Santander and head for our second stop which is Area del Lago Acebo. A very peaceful aire next to a lake with just two other vans here…UNTIL 5 hours later when 65 MORE motorhomes turn up and it turns into a party! Yes it’s a Spanish holiday and all family are making the most of it. We check out the village for food, see some elephants and make friends with a dog, attempt to try some free food before calling it a night.

Although I can’t translate what the loud speaker van is saying, but usually they are either junk collectors or are selling something, you will come across them a lot.
Mazzy is right about Tapas, I don’t eat fish so I always sat ‘sin pescado’ which means no fish
Mercadona and Lidl are your best bet .
Just as an incentive to head south, Morrisons, Gibraltar sells John Smith's.
Hola amigos, loving your Spanish adventures!
Regarding phone data: from what I recall from other YouTubers, they’ve bought data sims in the country they’re in and used them so they’re not charged the roaming fees? Mazzie will be able to Whatsapp family etc & Dan respond to messages. You’d also be able to use Google translate which should help you understand the language more & you could search for a local Lidl or Aldi and do a food shop. Surely the little shops would have the basics like bread, milk, cheese, ham etc in so don’t be afraid to look.
The restaurant’s stopped serving food at 4pm but surely they resume service a couple of hours later? It’s awful watching you walk round looking for food 😢
Looking forward to today’s adventures. Adios! Liz & Gray (the bus driver from Stratford upon Avon!) ❣️
👍
Sometimes those announcements are just a local with a speaker onto of his or her car mentioning the latest deals on water melons etc
I think it’s shocking that the Spanish don’t all speak English, top tip, if they don’t understand you first time, shout it again as loud as possible, that with all your excellent planning and knowledge of Spain will do you fine.
Hi Dan and Mazzy, the nuts are from an American walnut tree 👍
Loving the vlogs already, you're both looking relaxed. Hope you have a fantastic time 😋
Hi to you both…of course you know how to say goodbye…just think of Arnie..
Hasta la vista….baby😂
Or
Nos vemos…see ya!
Have fun, we will watch all of your travels with much interest as we want to do the same…x
We travelled from Portsmouth to santander on motorbikes, through northern Spain staying at Ribadesella, Ribadeo,plus a few more stops to Northern Portugal, Poa Varzim.beautiful coastal and mountain stays.we did learn some Spanish before but difficult to use in conversation but they appreciate you trying. We had to use Google translate quite a few times to communicate. We were away for 3 weeks…returned from Bilboa (where we had a 3 night stay at fabulous Castro Urdiales, 10 minutes fro the ferry port) back to Portsmouth. Loved every second.Enjoy the Spanish hospitality, enjoy your adventure x
walnuts is the hard nuts Dan is dreaming about 🙂
The shop you didn’t go in said they sell sandwiches (bocadillos), hamburgers (hamburguesas) €3 😂 Might be good to do a bit of duolingo. Even just a few words will really help you
A up. Go get a mobile router or cheap phone and put a Spanish SIM card in it. Regards nick
You guys just seem so happy now you are in Spain. Loving the daily vlogs.
Ohhh please tell me you to the elephant sanctuary??? Which you could see! Also you should spend an hour a night learning Spanish, just the basics and by the end of your trip you’ll be confidentio to speakio Spanish 🤷🏻♂️😂
Oh forgot to say goodbye in Spanish is adiós
Hi just say Adios!! For good bye and ask for menu in any bar I love Spain too you will soon learn go east to the coast between Barcelona and Valencia some lovely beaches and old Spanish villages Enjoy xx
Your in Northern Spain not many people speak English,tyr using Google translate ,you can talk to it and it will give you the translation or get the Spanish to talk to it .
You can also use the camera to translate menu's
I turned 77 yesterday Mazzy… Happy birthday to you… I went to dinner with a friend and his French Girlfriend.. Her family lives near where you two are on the French side of the border… she has a hand held device that she uses to translate what she says into english.. It can translate from english to just about every language you can imagine.. To bad you don't have one of those.. They could speak into it.. and it will instantly give you a text and voice translation of what they said and vice versa… to them from you.. It's amazing..
Thanks
😂😂😂😂😂😂🥃
Mercadona is my supermarket of choice for quality of the meat products but some of them are impossible for us to park in and either the carpark is an underground one or there is canopies over the outside parking. Sometimes we can get parked outside and walk. Best for motorhomes is Carrefour hypermarket. They are massive and are usually part of a commercial centre so huge parking area. As a bonus there is often a McDonald's beside it.
Have fun 🙂
😂😂😂 enjoying the spanish lesson!!!
Adios amigos
Walnuts
Very common in Parts of US
You missed out on food at the shop come cafe, the sign said hamburguesa and bocadillo 3€ (hamburger and baguettes)
Your destinations look great so far I'm making a note so I have some places to head to on our 1st motorhome trip there in spring 😀
Emergency phazes to help you.
Dónde hay un restaurante? – If you’re in search of a place to eat, this is how to ask for a restaurant.
Dónde puedo encontrar…? – This phrase means “Where can I find…?” If you’re looking for something
De tomar, quiero/quisiera… – “To drink, I would like…” Simple enough!
No como… – “I don’t eat…” You can follow this up with carne (meat) for example, or any other dietary restriction you might have.
Necesito ayuda. – Short and to the point, this phrase simply means “I need help.”
Habla usted inglés? – If you’re in a situation where asking for help is necessary, there’s probably some explaining that you’re going to have to do. Use this phrase to ask if someone speaks English.
Dónde puedo encontrar a alguien que hable inglés? – This is a longer one, but it’s included because it’s important. It means “Where can I find someone who speaks English?”
HI Dan and Mazzy Hope you are well , Great video , and you got dogs there and lots of animals , Nice looking place , Hope you find some food , Thanks for sharing , let us know if you get charged for our comments please , Take care xx
What’s tapas when you’ve just eaten it 😂😂😂
Don't matter where you are on the planet but let's be frank, for a tenner, if you get 2 beers, nice surroundings, 2 tuna mayo slices and a dog for company then I think your onto a roll! Granted San Miguel is real nice as far as a lager goes, but it's by far no John Smiths, I hate olives myself, pickled or normal, but… When in Rome do as the Romans do!… 🤣🤣🤣 Personally, olives and seafood are normally disgusting to me BUT, once enough San Miguelle has gone down your throat then I completely, totally, get it… Olives, fish and tapas en Espanol just becomes effin golden!!!
Hi
Glad you are both enjoying Spain
Remember you can also go shopping to a Lidl or a aldi as they are all over Spain
Regards
Karl
Absolutely classic Travel Trolls TV that put a big smile on our faces. Loving that you are both clearly enjoying Spain and we hope that these new exciting adventures will get you up to the 40k subs as your efforts and content really deserve many more views and subs.
Love it that no one speaks English, best being among locals, just get some food in.. Lol x
I assume you are aware of the ecominic situation in Spain. Warnings of bit of unrest in the capitol cities. Tourist have been made aware. Just be careful. Barcelona may be be bit iffy.
Dan and Mazzy that was so much fun great video!
hi o2 is free and call and text i pay £36.5 a mouth we to malta all my call and text are free
Adiós. Goodbye.
Chau. Bye! ( casual)
Nos vemos. See you (casual)
Hasta mañana. See you tomorrow.
Hasta luego. See you later.
Use Lidl car parks , Mercadona are also good .
Adiós
I’m loving you guys in Spain and the fact that Mazzy is happy trying out the food and getting stuck in. I absolutely love olives, so you guys did make me laugh when you looked so unimpressed with them. You really have put a smile on my face, so thanks for sharing your travels with us 😁🇪🇸
Thanks
Be cautious with what you think are freebies in Spanish amd Portuguese restaurants. Some put out olives, bread,etc can become a cost on your final bill. I learned this the hard way. Enjoying videos hope you both have a fantastic time!
