There does seem to be a struggle with leadership in Spain.
If you know Spanish, Iād like to know what the farmer said.
He didnāt really say anything interesting. Madrid is agriculture. People love us because we are farmers. We need change or weāre going to return. Weāll be back until there is change. Thank you for all your support.

This is a growing occurrence all over Europe. I am torn. I agree with them, but Iām also a tourist. I would hate to see a world where travel was discouraged.
Youāre not really torn if you agree with them. Look what the locals do. They graffiti their own city and childishly use water guns to disrupt tourism. On top of that they would rather have, most likely unvetted, refugees walking the streets than tourists. They must be board in their hideaway homes. Not enough action, crime, homelessness and death for them.
They arenāt discouraging travel for themselves or refugees. Itās strictly targeting the tourist. What a bunch of stuck up people. Spain is beautiful in pictures.
Michele, that was unusually silly. These people complaining about high prices do not graffiti their own city. Iāve never seen a lot of graffiti in Spain or anywhere in Europe. Thatās mostly an American thing (America being used correctly as anywhere in the Americas). I doubt many of them support unvetted refugees either. What a lot of nonsense.
Yes, and in reality, too. Itās bureaucratic and not very well run, but itās beautiful.
It wasnāt silly to me. I saw messages graffiti.d on walls.
True, but thatās usually done by wanna-be artists on railroad tracks.
Idk, the clip didnāt cover the subject.
And yet you wroteā¦
ā¦andā¦
Most likely*.
Thatās right and true.
I really wouldnāt want to be those two. The lack of humanity toward their subjects is appalling.
They just had very bad floods there in 8 hours they equaled the whole years rainfall in one region. The King and Queen visited and were pelted with mud. The dictator Franco set up the royal family abolish the monarchy. The Pahlavi despots are trying to get back to power in Iran they have some support on X the regime there is horrible but I liked when the Shahās LA mansion was destroyed in a fire the video used to be on YouTube.
They had another big demonstration there. The cell phone red alert system for some reason did not work.
Tourism banned in Spain for 3 years. I wonder if this will trickle down to Latin America Countries or towards Europe.
Sorry Reggie, btw.
Mark, tourists are banned from renting local properties. Thatās all.
Tourists do not receive good welcome often being hit with water balloons or squirt guns while dining.
I would think of all that wonderful Spanish cuisine they would love you though Reggie. With that unobstructed airway and powerful gut capacity and gut health. As well as all the pleasant smells and delicious flavors you allow people to experience in your presence.
And of course, your legendary staying power after meal arousals.
Isa and I sometimes toy with the idea of spending a year or two of our retirement in Europe, probably Spain. We wouldnāt go to a tourist hub. Weād pick a neglected small town. They love to have new people come and help to revitalize their dying towns. Italy has a similar phenomenon but we donāt speak their language at all. Iām pretty functional in Spanish, although the accent of European Spanish speakers is horrible.

What business do you have in Spain or food there?
I have no business at all in Spain, but there are many little towns where you can buy a nice house in poor condition for $50k or less. Spend another $50k and you can have a cute little house there for $100k.

I like paella.
I find their food, wine, oil and art far superior to France. Their language is also easier for me to understand.
