A Food Tour of Madrid - Madrid (Interrailing Europe Ep. 13)
- We're absolutely in the way everywhere - Don't let everything fall - I would never - We're absolutely in the way everywhere Let's go over there What do you think? Completely all the way to the exit Me and my girlfriend Denise were interrailing through Europe, and had now ended up in Spain We had explored Zaragoza for a few days and now we had arrived in the Spanish capital Madrid - We're now gonna have some traditional Spanish Burger King Yee-haw partner! I mean, I did promise you a culinary tour We're just normal people after all, but don't worry we'll eat more interesting stuff later - How are they compared to the Italian ones? - Better - Definitely better - Better yeah - But still not... - I don't get the hype around them - No - They're not that good - I've had better - Yeah, definitely better vegan nuggets Sorry, Burger King Good effort though! Good effort... We tried again - It works without BBQ-sauce - It's the BBQ-sauce that fucks it up! With ketchup or mayo it turns tasty Am I close to the camera? A bit too close? - Wanna try with ketchup as well? - Yes - Much better without the BBQ-sauce - Yeah! - It just doesn't work with the BBQ-sauce - Interesting. I take back the mean words I said before Good job! Anyway, after that tasty meal we headed to our hostel and dropped off our stuff Welcome to our room! Here we've got our own private little balcony It's leaning, I'm not gonna step on it She's crazy... - I'm so brave - She is crazy, absolute madlad - Do you need some clothes? - Ah, perfect! There's a few down there Cool - Yeah - Yeah, we got this room for ourselves here, it's nice - So far - I always like to have, you know, a private room - Look at this! Look at this - It's making me angry - Look at this security method! We locked our lock It's all an illusion! And with our stuff not locked away safely it was finally time to head out and explore this massive city Well, let's just keep walking here then - Yeah - I almost got run over by a skateboard Dangerous city, dangerous city...
Is this the famous square? I think so yeah - It looks better in the pictures on my phone More square-y there, and now it looks... So yeah Turns out that the square behind us was not the famous square Denise didn't correct me - I only told you I've been there - Yeah - I didn't say it was the most famous one - No Okay, we're approaching the actual square now Unless Google Maps also... ...gives me false hopes Just like someone else here Is this the square? - Over there, yeah - This is not a big square I thought it was bigger - It's over there! In the house? Okay, here we are Here we are Look at it! Yeah it's, uh... definitely a square
What do you say about this square? - It's pretty - It's square-y! Pretty cool square I would say - Better than the other one? - Yeah, a lot better This this is more square-y - Someone has a hammock - Oh nice! Nice place to chill out up there We were actually quite surprised by how cozy Madrid was Like, it's a big city, and I rarely describe big cities as cozy But it had cobblestone streets, fountains, and it was green everywhere! But at the same time it had the impressiveness of a European capital city - That's a big cathedral! Here we have the Royal Palace, and here we have the Royal church! Well I don't know if the church is royal, but... - That would be weird. Can churches be royal? I don't think so - It does! Let's go and have a look inside! - Okay! Ehh, can we climb the... - No I mean through the fence!
- Oh! - Hmm... That's a lot of ground Doesn't look as impressive as it does in real life I would say - What do you say? - I think it looks really cool! - Directly has to take a picture of course - Of course! - For Instagram, hmm? - Everything for Instagram! Follow me at: Follow me on Instagram, yeah, you'll find me We enjoyed this little square with the impressive buildings around it And just under it, there's a part that looks like a small forest - Madrid is so underrated, it's crazy - I must agree From our three hours here... four hours - They have such cool churches in Spain - Yeah, they really do - You should learn something from that Italy At least stop taking money for your cool churches After a long day of exploring this pretty city, we were hungry So we headed to Mercado de San Miguel, a quite famous food market to have some tapas And so we're back where we started - We're absolutely in the way everywhere Don't let everything fall - I would never! - We're absolutely in the way everywhere Let's go over there What do you think? Completely all the way to the exit - Which is your favorite? - This one, but this one has potato - Ohhhh - So you will like it, you will like it, you will like it - Okay, enjoy - Thank you! Just FYI, we were of course not done yet - Ohhh, you want some olives with the ??? - Okay... - Yes - Ohh maaan - Just put it down - Did it taste like cheese? - I'm gonna taste this one with...
...anchovies I think? - I love seeing you chew, it's so funny - What is that supposed to mean? - It looks really funny - That was really tasty though - Yeah? - Yeah - Was it worth 1.50€? - Well... - Kinda, huh? It's a really tasty little olive - A little overpriced, but it is really tasty - How is it? - That one is really good - You want to have one? - Well, maybe - Like we're going crazy today anyway... - True - What does it matter, huh? - We're throwing away all our money - HEY! Oh okay - I'm a professional paella cook This one tastes old stole - No - Is it because it's a special? - No. I've had that beer a lot of times
Oh well - I'm thirsty - Me too - Yeah - Ridiculous - Really, really is But what can you do? - What can you do... - It's part of the experience they say - Yeah - Is it tasty? - I would say that was the very good first day in Madrid - I would say so too It's quarter past nine - Quarter past nine? Perfect time to go home to sleep Because we're old people - Ah yeah, we are That's all I have to say - Good night Today in Madrid we're in this fancy park It has a fountain There It has trees, there Even stairs That's all the three requirements for park to be fancy Even a guy doing nature things with a motor machine That makes everything sound a lot I mean that sounds a lot you know Those are all the requirements for a fancy park And a guy running, perfect That's a lake! Crazy! You think there are fishes in the lake? Maybe I should have a dive and have a look That's a fancy statue There was something jumping in the water Well... - What was that? - That was a fish! There are fish in this water - Looks dangerous, the kid riding on the lion - I would - Yeah? - Yeah Super cool! Coolest kid in the whole schoolyard It's big It's a big one - Welcome to my throne - Your throne? - Mmm Of course it's my throne Yeah, what can I say? This park was really pretty and the monuments were really beautiful Also, big and impressive just like it should in the capital of a former Empire - No Wildlife is abundant in this park You can see fish, birds, and turtles - You missed the fish! - No, I see it! I see it! I see it! You can't see it on the camera probably, but it's there A little baby... Baby turtles - We're going through a tunnel - We found a little window - What the fuck was that? - A fish - It was huge and it jumped - Yeah - Wow... I don't want to be in that water - No? - No, I think they're a piranhas - Oh shit! That would make sense - Yeah, right? - Yeah - Let's enter La Rosaleda - A rose garden! - I guess so! That would make sense - Oh it looks pretty - It is pretty Look at all these roses! - Imagine this in summer - Yeah...
When they're all in full bloom It would be crazy pretty It's still pretty - It's really pretty - Roses in all the colors - True Okay, it's really dark behind... Go here instead - Look! She even gets fries That's not vegetarian! Well you didn't eat the meat I guess Counts! As vegetarian And after delicious two of course 10€ lunch, we headed to another park - Where? - In this direction... Probably behind these houses I guess Is this the Egyptian temple? - I guess? Looks broken... - Welcome to Egypt everyone! Well... If wanted to visit an Egyptian temple, I would go to Egypt You see, I did want to visit an Egyptian temple Coming soon on this channel, so stay tuned! - Egypt - Egypt - Egypt - Egypt - Look at this! Fuck Egypt - You're looking at us - Oh yeah... Well...
Just a second, here! I'm gonna show you - That is indeed a cool view I don't know... - Okay, bye - No I was just kidding How did we plan our day? - Well, we planned it around going into the palace for free from five... - Yeah... What time is it now? - I don't know... Five? - Yeah?
- Yeah - What happened? - Oh we were starting to stand in line, and then they told us there's no free entrance today because they have an event - But we're still able to pay, but we have to get out by six - Yeah - Cool - Yeah - Cool, cool - Well, it doesn't really matter, we didn't even stress to get here - No - I'm really relaxed because I just had a an hour of laying around, so... - Oh well - Oh well We tried - We tried Another time - Another time - How's it going? - Good... I just don't want too much on it you know So I'm trying to be careful here... Do you also want? - No, I'm good Some nice.. ...Iberico ham - Well, that is not olive oil I would say - No, it's tastier Very nice, very nice And so started our final day in Madrid It was a hot day, so we decided to head to the massive "Casa de Campo" park and just chill out - Yeah, she was not too convinced about going to Madrid Now she loves it I said: "They also have a really big park" - We found the park - We found the park! - It was behind all the trees - It was behind all the trees Were almost in the jungle - With a road? - You can't see it on the camera, can you? - Oh I'm pretty sure you can Especially the... - Can you see the... - The blue signs? - They warn for crocodiles - That is not crocodiles on it... - To cross this river you have to walk on the...
...on those thingies Otherwise a crocodile will eat you - A crocodile WILL eat you pretty soon, yes - What is that supposed to mean? - We've arrived at a wild lake Filled with... ...what seems to be some type of... ...tool... for a game or ritual by the indigenous population Probably... ...to sacrifice things in there - She stole my stick - You were trying to feed me the stick! - Noo...
I was offering it like a, you know, grass-thingie in cowboy movies - I said no - Yeah, and then she stole my stick - It's dirty, I don't wanna bite on it too hard - Look, this one is perfect for sticking it into your nose Come here! - I don't want to! - I got my stick back How long have we've been laying here for? - Oh, I don't know, when did we arrive? - I don't know - I really don't know - I have no idea - I really don't know - Let's see... When did I buy my shirt? At half past one... Then we have to walk here a little bit But not too long It is... five - It's five - Well, not too bad then - No... - Like three hours Well, we haven't been doing anything - No - Absolutely nothing It's really nice - It's really nice I really gotta say, they've got great parks in Madrid to just chill out But now it's time for us to move on, so we headed down into the massive Madrid Metro - Jesus... - Cool...
We made it! And so we were finally on our way to the Madrid bus station - This camera is breaking Let's see... - Well, I'm glad we have some time, huh? - Yeah, this bus station is horribly unclear It doesn't say where the platforms are It gives you the platform, but not where the platform is Very confusing 1 to 7... And 49 to 59 Okay... Apparently we've been running around on this platform for 15 minutes already - What? - Yeah... - A little bit of time - Yeah... We have 15 minutes more to figure out where to go
- I don't know... But just in time we somehow found our platform and got on the bus And I think that's a good spot to wrap it up for this time Madrid was a surprise for both of us, we had expected a big city and that it would be impressive, but not really a place we would enjoy for more than a few days It sure had to hustle and bustle of a big city, but it was also so easy to escape into a cozy quiet neighborhood or a big beautiful park We were now on our way to Portugal, the last country we would visit on this journey and we were excited If you are as well, give this video a thumbs up, maybe hit the "Subscribe" button, and I'll see you there Next stop: Porto - Look at Johannes, he's balancing on that He's struggling
