      Hi, I recently moved to Águilas in Murcia, I've been coming here for 6 years now and finally took the plunge!!
      There is an amazing carnival that happens here every February, and lasts for 2 weeks. On the main days, there are street parades (carozzas) and everyone in the town including babies dress on costumes. People spent the whole year preparing the costumes and dances. My brother in law sometimes takes part in the event and he makes his own costumes every year. Hope to see you here someday!!!

    Love that the Aussie - Kiwi rivalry extends to tapas dishes.
    Glad we both got an award from the competition as well.
    They looked pretty fancy but as long as they taste good.

    I knew Lendl was going to knock it out of the park! Cool design, looked delicious and he kept his cool while preparing the tapas. Awesome video, James!

    You can't imagine my exuberance when I saw chef Gabriel from Panama!! Since that's my country of birth, I was elated to see that my country was being represented. Something that I noticed immediately, is that the actual serving dishes resemble and represent the traditional folk hats that are worn by men, which is an integral part of the traditional costume of Panama for men (not what people consider a "Panama hat", which actually originated in Ecuador). Thank you, James for recording that part of the video. It meant a lot to me. I am one happy Spaniard-Panamanian!!! I was clapping during the awards part, as if I was there. The chef from UAE seemed so chill before the competition, so it touched my heart to see him break down and get so emotional when he won. He did have a unique "cigar" tapa. One last observation: You really seemed happy to be there James. This environment really resonated with you, and it showed in the entire video.

    • @spainrevealed

    Thank you for this! I never knew about this competition. Actually, I am trying to remember, but I think we have never been to Valladolid. We´ve been all over Spain, but not there! So this video really brought a lot of bang for our buck.

    Having lived in Spain for 18 years now I enjoy my tapas. For me though this competition isn’t true tapas….it’s too “cheffy” and pretentious….and would cost a fortune to buy. It’s just not what true tapas is about.

    • @spainrevealed
      @spainrevealed  Před rokem +1

      I hear you! For me tapas can be many things. In the next video you'll see you can order most of these tapas for €2.50, drink included.
