I'm breaking a rule here by promoting something I adore and risk having it slammed with more people. One of the reasons I love Malaga is that it is just slightly off the Travel Spain hit list for North Americans. Most people hit up Madrid, Barcelona, then Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba or San Sebastian to the north. Hanni Martini is a Malaga Food Expert and takes people on food tours in and around the city. In this episode you will pick up on some of the great places to eat in Malaga, and what to eat. We also discuss why there are so many British Ex-pats in the area, the difference between Salmorejo and Porra, and why you need to try the goat. If you would like to connect with Hanni for a food tour, visit her website right here and book a tour. A copy of my favourite places to eat in Spain is here. Also check out the video she did with Spain Revealed's James Blick. Speaking of James - check out the episode we did with him here. Although it is a few years old now - it is still very relevant and full of other Spanish tips and tricks. A Transcription of this episode is available here. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this month's podcast we look at various issues, the current Valencia property Market in Summer 2023, Why there is no ticking mortgage timebomb in Spain currently, what happened when Martin Lewis asked people about living abroad and more about Stepping Stone Rentals and where we are with the project. All of the links mentioned are below in the show notes. Our article of the month mentioned earlier is how to ruin your Valencia Property purchase, because we wouldn't want you to do that. https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/07/03/how-to-ruin-your-valencia-property-purchase/ Our video of the month is James Blick again and this month he went to the Baby Jumping Ritual.

The latest Valencia Property Podcast talks about the rental crisis in Valencia and gives an update on the situation after our post in October. We also talk about our new project "Stepping Stone Rentals and how this will affect your ability to land in Valencia with security, safety and a place to stay while you look for your long term rental or purchase. We also have an interview with our rental specialist Jessica all about the changes in the rental market over the last twenty years in Valencia and a continuation of our "What's it like to be a realtor in Valencia?" series. In terms of what we talk about on the podcast the links below will take you to the referred to articles. My favourite article was the one showing our renovations in Valencia and the before and after of them. It's so satisfying to get to the end of a project and show it off so we thought we'd do a few. https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/15/renovating-properties-in-valencia/ My favourite video was again James Blick who this month talked about what it was like being a veteran immigrant into Spain. What happens when you get past the honeymoon stage? Is it still worth living in Spain. Take a look at the good the bad and the ugly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnUubH2X3o And my favourite property... oof so many to choose from this month as I said in the article about the eclectic or diverse nature of the Valencia Property market but I think my favourite was and is the house overlooking Cullera bay you can see at the link in the show notes. For under 300k you get great views, the seaside, outside space, lots of inside space, light and a feeling of freedom, you even get a lift opening out into your living room directly from the garage. It's superb. https://www.valencia-property.com/cullera/blue-skys-and-sea-views-2052.php Links for this podcast are below. https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/29/the-eclectic-nature-of-the-valencia-property-market/ https://valencia-property.com/new/stepping-stone-rentals-questionnaire/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/22/there-is-definitely-something-wrong-in-visa-land/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/15/renovating-properties-in-valencia/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/08/faq-me-2/ https://valenciaproperty.podbean.com/e/s2ep11/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/01/faq-me/

I've turned into a big travel snob. The idea of jetting off to Caribbean or Central America to sit at resort and drink all day feels very... dated. If there is one thing that Anthony Bourdain left behind, it is the idea that food can unite the planet, and being curious and uncomfortable about new thing is okay. I won't even start in on cruises. How they are still a thing after the pandemic is a miracle; or testimony to how lazy we have become as a species. The idea of being trapped on ship with American chefs cooking bad American food while on shore, the Italians have their pasta, and the Spanish their tapas. Alyson Shane loves to travel with her husband John. They have just completed their second trip through Thailand and their first through Japan. One of the things I noticed on her trip was how they made the effort to live (and eat) like a local. A lot of it comes down to where you leave your money behind. Is it a tourist trap? Are you staying at a hotel owned by a foreign corporation? Are you riding public transport? Did you go to Starbucks or the local cafe for your morning coffee? In this episode, Alyson and I swap stories about our recent trips and discuss some of the best ways to travel by living like a local. Alyson runs Starling Social, a company out of Winnipeg, Canada that can help you grown your (online) social reach.

This week's podcast is number nine in our series and talks about the Paradox of Choice and what having a restricted number of options means for your Valencia Property purchase. As usual we start with an introduction, the latest news from Valencia, followed by our listener questions, our article about the Paradox of Choice and we finish off with our recommendations. However we also have two other sections this week. We have an interview with James Blick from Spain Revealed about his new project helping people to move to Spain and we also have a little insert about our ongoing competition and our survey from last week. You can participate in our survey here Recommended Video The recommended video this week is one of James' of course and I couldn't let this go by without recommending a recent video James made with his friend Phil Kitromiledes who, let's just say, has a restricted palate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-UC36PaT5Q . James took him on a wild tapas tour of offal and bits of animals that many people just won't touch. It's lots of fun. Also take a look at the videos where James talks about moving to Spain and how you can help define what you are looking for when you move to Spain. Obviously we hope you decide that that place in Spain is Valencia.

Avery and I love Spain. A few years ago we went to Italy to get our first European experience as a couple and loved Rome and Tuscany. Italy showed us what can happen when fresh ingredients get involved. In 2018, we made our first trip to Spain and found that the Spanish lifestyle of socialization was a little more in line than what we have to deal with in North America. In our perfect world, we would rather go to 5 bars in over 5 nights and meet a few (sometimes new) people, rather than trying to everyone at once at one event on a weekend. The problem with that is it consumes your weekend. We went back to Spain the following year and travelled the north. After 4 weeks in Spain, we still feel we haven't seen everything. When there is nothing on TV, Avery and I watch James Blick's videos as he travels Spain sampling some of the best food in the world. In this episode, I speak to James about his company Devour Tours, and how this Kiwi found to his to Spain to become one of Spain's biggest ambassadors to the Anglophone World. If you are planning a trip to Spain, subscribe to his YouTube channel and his Instagram to get you thinking about how you will spend your time when you get there. And food lovers, James and his team at Devour Tours are on lockdown like the rest of the planet - but that doesn't stop them from connecting you to the food. The company has put together a digital cookbook so you can enjoy Spanish cuisine in your kitchen. Devour Tours hosts events in a number of Spanish cities including Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, and San Sebastian, as well as other European destinations like London, Lisbon, Paris and Rome. Finally, Avery and I have some personal suggestions that we loved and have shared on the blog page of this episode which you can find here.

Speaker: James Blick, Co-Founder & COO at Devour Tours

James' passion to help people discover the places in Madrid with the best food and to support the people and places serving it, led to him co-founding Devour food Tours, connecting people to the stories and people behind the food - providing a real insight rather than a magical vision of the places and people. James talks about his non-linear path to starting Devour and shares some of the vital lessons he's learnt along the way - from valuing your time properly; sitting down, doing the work and persevering in order to reach your goals and also not being a perfectionist with the content you create. James also shares his favourite Devour tour, some top wine tips in Madrid and why dodgy photos can also be a sign of a great bar! Recorded in December 2018
