and everything is uh homemade here guys it's super fresh and we're getting frappes too we're waiting for those right now it's affordable too yeah definitely affordable yeah it's not expensive here guys not expensive at all okay so she's letting me try some of her pumpkin pie guys and you know in america pumpkin pie is very very famous we eat it all the time oh and there he is with our frappes look at this wow mucha gracias okay wow and he's the owner that is borja and his wife there so i'm gonna try this pumpkin pie guys while my grandmother used to make pumpkin pie all the time for thanksgiving it's a thanksgiving staple let me go ahead and try it here grandma is it better than grandma's you can't say i can't say that but it's very good grandma had a special recipe guys but it's good it's a i guess a spanish version or wherever he's from i don't think he's from spain that's quite good where's this guy i think they're from the north of spain actually oh oh how interesting you get a different accent that not on the loosing accent for sure i believe he's from galicia all right comes back and how do you like your coffee there uh elliot bro i'm a coffee connoisseur yes some somewhat like you yeah but i like i said i've been to different coffee areas right where you try the coffee fresh you know that mountain coffee that aroma in costa rica colombia panama up in the mountains right and this is on par with that oftentimes you go to the spanish supermarkets and the coffee is really bad you know the coffee is really bad the kind of coffee you get at the supermarket this comes right from the roaster and it's strong but it's got that really polished aroma and just right oh that's not bitter right exactly yeah oof and of course a great a great little coffee you guys uh i've talked about this before you can't compare the coffee you get in a supermarket guys it's gonna be nowhere near the quality you need fresh roasted beans here's the propaganda i'm going to try this santiago perfect for the place basketball cheers they're talking about uh piece bosco that's the north of spain guys and elliot's been close to there you've been there right ellie i got a bunch of videos there i got like two or three videos up right on the community santiago and that's where this man is from borja yep very cool guys so that's where he's uh he's from the owner wow very cool i'm here with eventually his girlfriend and we're gonna go up the to the castle to the hebrew faro castle so you said oh you've done this before right but you went up the front side i did the hard side last year okay um and i didn't know what i was doing and i almost gave up and i also didn't understand the andalusian spanish sheet so i i almost fainted that today guys okay it's green we can cross yeah i think it's uh over 90 degrees easily today right only going up it's like 1 30 here there's the castle guys i've actually made a video about this before where to go because a lot of people go up the front side and they don't realize and it's way way harder it's a really steep incline on the front side and in the summer it's almost unbearable guys with the heat with the spanish heat what i do is a lot of times i'll go up this way you go up through the forest and then i'll come down on the front side so it's kind of nice going down you're we're actually on the north side of the uh mountain so the to the south side you're closer to the ocean right the sea sorry the mediterranean sea yep and on this side we are on the north side so if you were to go north into spain we're on this side of the mountain the northern side and i'm going to take you up this side and on the way down we'll go down the front side and get the beautiful views there the south side yep okay awesome and there it is guys the alcazaba and we're gonna go all the way up to the castle okay hey guys we're about a third of the way up now and wow look at that behind me it's so nice and wow this is a really nice walk guys you can see there's hardly anybody on it and i'm sure there's a lot of tourists on the front side they don't know anything about this side unfortunately and there's elliott and his girlfriend going up okay ellie we've been going up what do you think of what you're seeing it's it's reminiscent of last year i i'm you know let's bring me right back but on the other side we can see the city here right we can see i got normal malaga where the locals live and you've had a few videos out there i think you went to one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in malaga and i think that's somewhere out there um it would be more yeah all the way almost over this way uh-huh right exactly out in the city a little bit outside of the center but you can see there's a lot of residential parts of malaga and there's actually a lot to see a lot of tourists don't get to see a lot of these things that that i've actually a place i've been to that i've shown on my channel so look at this guys wow look at those trees it's really beautiful here it's hard to see but you can see the castle walls up there yeah you can kind of see them just right now how in the heck in the 14th century did they build something like that well they actually used to come up the front side the front side and actually the castle uh the alcazaba and the castle connected they actually did and there's the path between them now it's kind of overgrown but before it used to be like a road they would open some walls and they would have the horses or the donkeys bring up the goods with like a cart and probably some slave let's be honest i would maybe so i don't know for sure for sure slaves okay guys we're at the mirador and beautiful view here and there was nobody on that path it was so so strange maybe it's because of the heat we're very close to the castle now guys and check out the view wow this view is just fantastic guys let's do that yeah it's a beautiful day guys look at that you can see people down there on the beach enjoying themselves and actually malaga is like over there i think since this one right here yeah it goes to those floaties there changes over there there's some other ones and all the way up along the coast there guys look at that all the way to that corner where there's that big tall tower there and that's just a uh the cement factory guys and i made some videos over there recently and where they have the calla de mor morale it's called very very cool place guys wow so what do you think elliot i mean the same impression i had last year is just how i feel totally just just uh relaxed and just feels so nice to get these views of the mediterranean sea yeah it's awesome isn't it so there's a tourist bus here guys you can also take that up here it's a lot more pricey it's a lot pricier than the one we took but it's another option guys you don't want to walk and that one takes you all around malaga for a set price i think it's maybe 30 euros but malaga is not a really big city i don't think you really need that so here's the entrance to the castle up here there's the castle guys there it is okay guys going into the uh castle here guys here's the entrance and i've been here several times but uh it's always great to see and it's always a great place to take uh friends and tourists so what are your uh first impressions elliot have you been here before well my second impression oh you've been here i've been here twice okay yeah i'm saying that i just love coming to these places where you step back in history you know right literally three four five six hundred years maybe seven hundred years you know we had the romans and the phoenicians here the moors and the christians and wow crikey it's a it's a great time yeah this castle is um been used for a lot of centuries guys and it's been a protector of the city exactly for many many years many centuries i would say guys and now it's uh a great place for tourists to come and enjoy it and think about the history now it's your girlfriend's first time here she's never been here she's she's roaming because she's just like oh okay she's excited to be here guys wow very cool let's take a look at the views guys it's just beautiful that's gorgeous look at that guys it's your first time here is so she said it's really beautiful guys she's impressed by it the beauty of it and the construction of it and the view and just everything she just thinks it's really great so that's awesome i'm happy that uh she enjoys it guys so i love to take uh friends here it's uh one of the places that i think you should go for sure if you're coming to maliga and now we're climbing up guys you gotta go up and go along the walls which i just love and you get to the highest point which is up there guys right there where those flags are and that's where you get the best best view so you can see guys it's so it's so tight going through here that you just have to like squeeze through here guys wow two people can barely fit through at one time there was some tourists coming the other way and we're going this way so we kind of had to squeeze by each other look at that guys look at the view look how beautiful it is we're here with a couple spanish people they're here from um from madrid hey como te llamas miguel okay okay guys i'm gonna head down here guys try to find adventure elliott i think he's over here somewhere and look at this view guys of the castle so so awesome and there's adventure elliott what's up bro not much man this is the coolest place it's muy we like it

we're gonna say goodbye to the castle and we're gonna go back down we're gonna head down now guys to the front the front side and the front side is really beautiful you can see the outside of the castle and you can see those points there the way they designed at the architecture and there's two ways to go down here there's this path and there's this path that looks like stairs guys and you see it connects here it's gonna connect right there and we'll get some more beautiful views of malaga on the way down so we're gonna head down here there's some people going up they took the hard route and they're close to the castle now and we're taking the easy route down what do you think elliot we did the right thing yeah i mean i like it's easier to to to go down than up okay um this is a beautiful hotel here it's like a boutique hotel guys and it's a mirador beautiful there's some more people coming up guys probably hot and windy the wind did so here we go guys another lookout they call them miradores in spanish and another beautiful one guys and you get a really good shot of the city there guys there's the park honestly you get a better view of this park here and i think this is the banco panco de espana uh no that's the utmiento that's the town hall but the bank is over there too on that passage next door to it is the el casaba no that's the al casaba right there you can see it guys right there and that big building there in front of it is the museum it's a museum of malaga and you can see the cathedral there too wow you get a beautiful view guys look at that roundabout there look how beautiful that is with the fountain museum there guys the pompeidao and you can see the boring so this is a great place to come and take a photo and you'll see a lot of photos of malaga and they're from this spot okay guys so we're continuing our descent we've seen some tourists coming and some tourists going up back that way guys look at that so they're coming up the difficult way there's some more coming so you can see this descent guys it's even a little difficult descending so you can imagine going up it is really really challenging guys going up here you can see him imagine how challenging it is it's really challenging going up isn't it uh elliot yeah it's harder going up but even going down yeah just pounds on the knees a little bit right that's why i can see a lot of tourists that's why i don't recommend coming up here especially if you're a little bit older it's going to be really really difficult guys either go the way that i said or take uh take the bus there's actually a bus that takes you up here there's a man selling albonicos hola those are the fans the spanish fans you can see where we just came from guys see that elevation there look at that and there's even more so it's really hard going up really steep and i saw a few people dated but most of them were younger on the younger side and there's still more to go down okay guys we had a great day hanging out with elliot and his girlfriend we had a lot of fun and we took you guys to the castle and we checked that out that was really cool so thanks for showing me the easy route and i hope that uh the people who watch these videos find some value and you giving great advice and um you know just your friendly nature and and showing the positives of spain and malaga so it was a great time okay man thanks for coming down to see me and it was really cool hanging out with you it was cool to meet those uh people from romania too from bucharest so hope you guys enjoyed the
