  1. Fantastic video! We had no idea Valladolid had so many tapas places! It's definitely a place we'll have to visit next time we're back in Spain and see if it compares to our favorite tapas city in Spain: Logroño!

  2. Thanks for making this video! Really happy to see Valladolid gather a bit more attention.

    It's one of those places that tends to go under the radar because it lacks some of the big monuments or festivals that other cities have. But it's a fantastic place for a day or even a weekend trip, especially considering its proximity to Madrid.

    Lots of history, good food and even better wine in a very relaxed and easygoing city. Also, it being the capital of its region (Castilla y León), you'll have access to a good amount of shops and services.

    James, Valladolid definitely deserves another visit to experience more of what the city and the province have to offer besides flashy tapas. Hope to see you back soon!

  3. What a great video. One of the things that I love about tapas in Spain , is not just the taste of so many delicious options, but the presentation of them. You first eat with your eyes and in Spain, they sure understand that concept quite well. All the tapas you've shown had a unique way of being presented and that alone got my seal of approval. I was quite interested in the tapas (and their presentation) at "5 Gustos" (sorry if an Australian got my attention, but so did the one from New Zealand because Kiwis rule!!!). The only thing that surprised me was that you ate all that food without a glass of wine to pair with them, until the very end when you were at Gastrobar. I had to double take to verify this was a James Blick video. LOL! Thanks for another delightful video.

  4. Tenemos una gran tradición de tapas, algunas son increíbles y están buenísimas!!! Además mi ciudad es preciosa!!

  5. La tapa no es un plato pequeño debería ser un producto elaborado que se puede comer de un bocado,lo demás pasa como con la paella… Es otra cosa…

  6. "Winter is coming; strap me up!" – James Blick 2022…lol you make me laugh! Very much enjoying your videos – this was 'espectacular'. Gracias

  7. Never been in Spain. It is definitely on my bucket list. Meanwhile I enjoy it through your videos. You just got a new subscriber!!!!

  8. main thing of a tapa being a tapa is that it is free, comes with your drink, that´s why granada is the real tapas capital

  9. I never went hungry in Spain. I wanted to try almost everything. I only gained 3 pounds in 2019. I absolutely loved the walking. That's the only way to get a true feel of Spain, plus hang with the locals.

  10. Looks like they are really evolving the tapas but maybe a bit fancy for me. Price is pretty good though.
    Will add Valladolid to my list to explore these places.
    Thanks again guys.
    Have a ball in NZ.
    ¡Feliz Navidad!

  11. Just subscribed to your channel; Mark Wiens led me here. Looking forward to watching all your past videos. Spain is on my bucket list of countries to someday visit, especially for the cuisine!
