What people don't realize is you cannot be free from fear, depression or anxiety unless you first become aware that this system is designed to keep you that way
Bang on!!
It’s rediculous here always a problem with water but then they give the go a head to build 16,000 more houses nearTorrevieja!! 🤦♂️
And what about the Meta factory in Talavera?!
Exactly where I am & that la hoya will be a disaster. Roads will flood when rains come ,even worse.
@@miguelrodriguezhernando8874
Don't worry, that will never be builded.
Same in the UK. Since our last reservoir was built in 1970s (Kielder Water) we've paved over loads of flood planes and Increased the population by over 10 million (770,000 just last year!) but it's obviously climate change and a hose pipe ban is needed!
Yes this is ridiculous
Fear fear fear. Control.
Exactly
Thank you as always for keeping us informed Stu. The drought situation is very unfortunate. There's no easy solution. Sending all my positive vibes to the lovely people of Spain.
why would PUTIN attack a load of old tosh.
Exactly. The only time Putin thinks of Spain is when he's relaxing with his thoughts of it's high quality three W's. Wine, weather, & women.
Your summaries of the current events and issues are great. Thank you for keeping us up to date especially about the drought.
Set up Europeans, and European nations against each other.
The "playbook" of the "rimlands" (geopolitics) Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Mackinder (Pivot of History/1904) and Brzinzki's analysis of 1997.
Even Churchill was honest enough to admit that those who wish to understand the present, should analyze the past.
Putin has zero interest in attacking the EU Countries. The fear factor is all about raising money for the MIC.
in Dubai it hardly ever rains it’s a desert. They use sea water, de salination=problem solved
@@contribution741 & @Knowledge-College - Here in Australia we have always had prolonged droughts followed by floods. Always. 90% of Australians live right by the ocean, but instead of desalination, our government experts want to recycle sewage for drinking water. Perfectly safe don't you know . . . . You can guarantee our leaders won't be consuming it.
Agreed, with every comment above. Refreshing to see people NOT upside down in their thinking. God bless.
The security alarmism is aimed at increasing the military spending. A difficult topic in this country for many reasons. Among them the traditional far right leaning of the army (the past is still very alive and the ideals passed through generations… as not many of not pertaining to a “military family” end up there) … and the corruption.
Restriction of water for private pools in Andalucia. 🤣🤣🤣

Being incredibly lucky ,so far this year, 2024 I have been to Spain 3 times, and am intending going back out again in 3 weeks. I have been to Arroyo de la Miel , Benalmadena twice, such a brilliant place, and fantastic value for money. I have also been to Benidorm , you either hate it or love it. Stayed in the Helios Hotel, what a fantastic hotel, and what brilliant value for money. I am in my mid 70's , I have never ever felt unwanted in Spain, in fact just the opposite. I feel younger, whereas in GB I feel that I am nothing more than a nuisance. Those of you who voted Brexit and believe they need you more than we need then you are in for a rude awakening. They don't. Thanks to whoever made this video, very informative, and unbiased -well done.
Build reservoirs where there is runoff from snowpack as California has.
The Muslims did that centuries ago, channels to bring the snowmelt down and irrigate my canyon. My oranges are full of snow !
Absolutely, however it will require a combination of possible solutions: reservoirs, de-salination, drought resistant plants, people using less water, etc...
We have our pool full and running all year. We have not changed our prices for 9yrs. We offer the same perks as we did opening our Boutique Bed and Breakfast, Benalmadena in 2013.
We have relocated to Spain (Almeria province) permanently from the UK. We are not in a position to buy yet and we are finding long term rental harder and harder to find. What does everyone think?
We are in the US, and are looking between Almeria city and Alicante city. Needing a place with a short walk to services and within 20 minutes from a beach. We'll be renting before buying, unless we find that "perfect" place.
I wouldn't buy a property in Spain to retire. I think you are better off renting and investing the money you have into something that can be liquidated easily and in an account that is offshore from possibly Spain and maybe in a trust. I am not a financial expert, but I have heard if one of you were to die the bank account of that person who has died will be frozen within days and death duties are expected on that persons assets as assessed by a Government official from the living partners account. I would get proper financial advice.
@@jonh7054agree. Rent is much better off......
Don’t buy in spain. If you need to sell ( and NEEDING to sell as opposed to wanting, implies a crisis) it may take YEARS because of supply over demand. If you or your partner suffer a health crisis, you will need support of the level that only family can provide. In which case you will need to sell up and return to your home country. If it takes a year + to sell, you are stuck in a hellish situation. Added to that, the Spanish authorities will be all over your money and assets overseas to extract tax. And when you do sell they will keep 10% of the sale price to offset against capital gains- even though they have a record of the price you paid when purchasing.. It took me 18 months to get my money back even though my agent lodged a claim for repayment on the day my villa sold.
Export of fruits and vegetables=Export of water. Enjoy your trip.
How does Morroco do it?
Thankyou for your video of all the input we love the Spanish people and we love Spain and Greece we come over to have a break from the terrible weather in England ❤
Nice one Stu , good to see you reporting from Alicante
Cant quite figure where he is in Alicante with that background .
Hi Stuart, the place we’re at is called Urbanova I think.
Mil gracias por el video Stuart. Still in Portugal 🇵🇹 at moment. Guy from b and b was telling me yesterday that here that they haven't had enough water 💦 too
Close all pools for 2 years . North of Spain property up 30 percent because Spaniards moving north knowing in 10 years it will be impossible to live .
Hi Stu, regarding the issue of water availability in the south I have no confidence that the authorities will do anything of a long-term positive nature. Of course “mucho dinero” will be allocated to deal with the problem and promises will be made by any number of alcaldes and other faceless bureaucratic types. In reality, however, it will mean reduced availability to residents with some relying on bottled supplies. To add insult to injury bills will rocket. It’s Spain for goodness sake!
Hi Stuart, enjoyed your vlog tonight, you were nicely lit up and a lovely backdrop and update on the situation with water in Spain !! question ? we have a pool in our community, but the pool is already full. We don't need to fill it, it is always filtered. I have been told that the water does evaporate over time, but surely it wouldn't be that much compared to filling a pool🤔 cheers Steve 🍷Manila.
You are at the end of arenales del sol just by el altet. Enjoyed the news update
Many tourists are booking holidays in apartments that are situated in residential communities, they are not being told the swimming pools will be closed, all summer due to the water shortages
Looks like you are in Gran Alacant or Santa Pola, Stuart enjoy your stay!
We live here permanently and the food is very reasonable and the people are lovely.
Er valt veel te weinig water. En dan is de planning om 16.000 huizen te bouwen rond Torrevieja. Gaat nog meer problemen opleveren
What a rubbish consideration. Why would Russia even want attack Spain ? Its ridiculous
For me benidorm Alicante still hot places to visit love it there... just shame about the 90 day rule for people that own places there.. maybe this may change later on ...all the best
I’m puzzled. Last year there was increased rainfall across Spain. This year ( an el nino year) there are predicted record breaking rainfalls, especially in the northwest. Where are the reservoirs to capture it?
They empty water reservoirs to generate electricity to sell it, and then they tell us we have water shortage.
It’s crazy how quick Spanish society would crumble with lack of food & water…… the death toll due to starvation would be greater than any attack & the Guardia would seize key assets & supplies…… looting would start almost immediately & food would run out in days as they don’t stock many tinned goods in rural Spain….. water contamination would only take a few days depending on wind direction………. On the positive side, summers would be cooler😂. I don’t think there’s many icbms aimed @ Spain, but I’ve been buying dried foods & bottled water since Russia invaded, just in case the supply chain is cut throughout Europe. The 3 ft thick walls & tiny windows in these old fincas is excellent Barricading 😅😊😅
Nice job! Good prepping by the book. We must follow suit. 😅
Too many migrants like in Ireland, Europe is being DESTROYED!
Shhhh don't tell everyone 🤣🤣👍🏻
Let’s hope it all goes back to normal & all we discuss is the queue @ the airport 😂😅😊😂
but why would Vladimir attack poor old Espania....???????
The warm weather in Scotland is usually between the 4th and the 6th of July so that fellow with the second home in Andalusia will spend a lot of time there.
Queen Camilla the First has recently been in Ciudad Real on vacation. To hunt. It is another kind of tourism. Some years I look for houses for rent for some French friends who come to hunt partridges or to escape from their wives for a week perhaps. It's so cheap
"Paco" and the Emérito used to hunt and enjoyed hunting.
@@miguelrodriguezhernando8874 Chiefly partridges in ojeos. There is not translation for ojeo in any language but the Spanish of Spain. The movie "Los Santos Inocentes" shows it well. Camila came to the property of the Duke of Westminster. Los presidentes de los Estados Unidos que cazan (los Bush los últimos), la realeza europea, los banqueros... todos vienen a cazar perdices por miles. Para eso sirve el Aeropuerto de Ciudad Real
You ran out of English 🤣🤣. You continued in Spanish . Are you sure those amigos franceses quieren cazar perdices y solo perdices ?. 🤪
@@harriettt9857 There are two of them who don't use the guns at all and go drectly to the Júcars. The hookers, an important industry here besides hunting. Truly.
Stuart, you were en Los Arenales del sol. Carabassi beach, the best beach in Costa Blanca.
Nice, reminds me on Playa del Ingles
Beautiful location.
Spain may not miss the trickle away to other countries as you suggest to your correspondent, however, when that trickle becomes a torrent, the effect on the economy may alter the thinking. I am personally an Españaphile, but I can understand people not wishing to holiday where they feel unwelcome.
Find Alicante very expensive these days. Probably going to try Villajoyosa in January if see something for right price may get a bolthole. So far have always found Spanish very welcoming. As you know if you buy you do contribute to the tax system. Also if you sell .going to Cuenca for my 60th in August. Hasta pronto amigo tenga una buena fin de semana
The world has lost it's mind (re: nukes); I just hope it holds together a little longer so we can get back to Spain and see more of it!
Unfortunately Stu, when you wake up to blue skies, and sunshine, it's hard to focus on the reality that we are on the cusp of WW3. We are certainly in trouble, and we need to get ready. Keep up your good work Stu. 👏
Olive oil, I paid €9.90 for a bottle of oil today in my local supermarket, but only £5 .50 in the uk what’s going on ?
Stuart, are you in Los Arenales? Amazing place, nothing better worldwide.
Hi, was there yesterday.
We have two generation lulled into a false sense of security from nuclear war with the collapse of the Soviet Union. While there has been a significant reduction in nuclear weapons, and a lack of weapon system modernization; it has really not been safe. In fact it risk is getting worse with so many smaller nations obtaining nuclear weapon technology.
Europeans should be concerned about Putin, Russia in general and other nations/leaders. As time passes and WW II is a distant memory with the survivors almost gone, the world becomes increasingly risky for more conflicts.
Peace through strength. Learn the lessons of history.
The water situation should have been sorted out years ago. I really can't understand why it would take so long. Thanks Stuart
Zee wef has penetrated zee spanish parliament thats why
"Total and Absolute"
Hey,
Russia is NOT making threats,
NATO is making threats.
Russia is NOT in a territorial expansionary phase.
LISTEN to the statements coming directly from the Russian Statesmen.
😂😂😂
Exactly, Oekraine replaced the democratic elected president with an Usa friendly sponsored one. Then they massacre the people of the Donbass and more Russian friendly areas. Nato keeps expanding there territory closer to the Russian border. Im not an communist or and Putin friend. But the situation is much more complex then the majority and the mainstream media covers.
Satire, I hope?
Correct, but folks need to keep the fear up,, we know fear is control 👍🏻
I became a Spanish citizen via the LMD and will be moving there……Can’t wait.
Whats LMD?
@@manuelfg2902 Ley de Memoria Democrática. Google it.
The French have the same concern. I read “Le Figaro” everyday.

Don't worry as most UK holiday makers are boycotting Spain for Portugal or at home most people stayed in the UK and no traveling problems and felt safe
Really? Ironic UK tourists are increasing every year here .
Not much point worrying about the threat from any nuclear armed despot state now or in the future. You get one life, it isn’t a dress rehearsal. Live it and don’t worry about stuff you can’t influence or change. If it happens close to you, you probably won’t even know about it. Previously living in Portsmouth and a kilometre from Gatwick, I could probably head butt one. Now in fairly remote Murcia it may be a little more difficult.
the threat (or ability) of a nuclear missile to reach Spain hasnt changed for years and years.This talk of nuclear weapons is absolute insanity.What do you think happens after the first misile is fired? No one wins thats for sure.The noisy Motorbikes are probably tourists too :)
🤔🤔 why build all these homes if Spain is in imminent danger of a nuclear attack from Russia? Why bother 😊
Zuck is building his bunker in Hawaii. 🤔
We all gonna die.......
@@manuelfg2902 doesn't matter the world will keep turning.
@@user-of7yy2vk2w if we all die......how?
About mass turismo, palo si bogas y palo si no bogas, you cannot live with it or without it!
Is there a chance to fill up the pool from seawater? Like a truck coming by to fill up the pool🤔 Just throwing it out there.
Hate to tell you this Stu but if you park at the top and walk to the bottom, you still have to walk back to the top! I would prefer to do it the other way round. Enjoy the walk abouts.
More reservoirs are needed. But Spain isn't the master in its own house - it needs permission from the EU to build new reservoirs and the EU won't allow them
Crazy Lady. Spain hasn’t invaded anyone since ships of sail and South America
This is not the only problem with the spanish society, which is normally not interested in anything, even not in issues concerning themselves. In an atmosphere like this it is almost impossible to solve problems. They live the Muslim Motto: once a victim - forever a victim.
It may be part of the arabic heritage from Al Andaluz, which never disappeared in the full.
Are you aware that some vehicles behind you are vanishing!,
Go somewhere else where there’s mass tourism because that’s what you got everywhere that’s nice to visit unfortunately that’s the way it is and has been for decades.
Stu... IMO Spain shouldn't be sending any weapons etc to the Ukraine its none of Spains business,if they do then they can't complain if it gets bitten by the Russians.... Remember the USA etc started this in 2014 look it up... Tony cuenca
Going from War to a water shortage.. Stop scaremongering ..... Tony cuenca
Not aware because the government whose job it is hasn’t said anything! All other EU countries warned the population long and are actively promoting resilience in the population.
please, watch an interview Tucker Carlson done with Wl. Putin. Please, understand Putin will not escalate any war into west.
buy a brain cell
Who? You are not specific. I don't think Putin has any interest in invading Europe. I remember fear being created by media and politicians over Weapons of Mass Destruction as an excuse for a war not too dissimilar as to what is happening now over Putin.@@TheOwlsarewatching606
What’s with the over the top dramatic and over the top negative tittles?? They get boring and it’s one of the reasons if not the main reason I stopped what Hing your videos. I know they say that these types of tittles are supposed to entice clicks but it’s an old method and it doesn’t work any longer, I’m sure that you analytics show it. Until you start posting more realistic and interesting tittles, I for one will not be clicking on your videos. Just wanted to let you know. Hasta luego 👋
But here you are 😊
Turkey is amazing , so much more for your buck. Places like costa blanca is for people on benefits . Europes biggest council estate the Spaniards call the costa blanca lol .
Turkey is amazing..I lived there for a while.. the only thing I would say is remember it isn't an EU country so don't fall foul of the law.. it's also extremely nationalistic..
