- Spain update and the requirements to work as a cleaner in a new Benidorm hotel have raised eyebrows with good personal hygiene and language skills a must.

I film my videos on #lumix and GoPro cameras and lenses and sometimes on an iPhone.
Recognizing Palestine in its current form with Hamas running Gaza is a support for terrorists. Palestine needs to have Hamas gone and have a democratic government.
From the, let’s say, generally view a voter may have and my particular view from politicians known personally… the psoe is a magnet for opportunism and corruption without scruples but certain appearances like “grand” gestures like this one to distract from their misdeeds against workers etc 🤷🏻♂️. And it is again and again. But the fault resides on the partisan unthinking population that for one reason or other or no reason doesn’t know but to vote “their party”.
I was in Spain during the Falklands war and reading the English and Spanish press you would have thought they were reporting two completely different incidents.
That doesn't surprise as when I first moved here, my girlfriend and I went to a buffet place. The meat section was looked after this man who heard me speaking English, and kept on saying a phrase. I asked my girlfriend what he was saying and it turned out that he was an Argentinian saying the Falklands Islands belonged to them.
Thankfully has never happened since.
Same happened to me when I was at uni when there was the mini coup in Spain led by Tejero. In Britain it was super dramatic and in Spain it stopped during the night of 20th Feb!
Me too. I pretended I was American.
I was in majorca at the same time most of the waiters wouldn’t serve us.
Thank you for the update, Stuart 😊
I think people should be happy to learn a little Spanish while watching your videos. Endibia is close enough to endive to be easy to understand if you speak English only. Also there is a photo of the "endive leaves" to help make the connection. Thanks for adding a new word to my Spanish vocabulary!
The VAT refund scheme is because if you are buying something and export it (from the EU), it counts as an export and so it is not subject to VAT. The UK scrapped this scheme when it left the EU, which has been said to have damaged London as a shopping destination for foreigners, as they pay £6 for every £5 on the pre-VAT retail price. On a £60,000 diamond ring, that's £10,000.
Predictive text is particularly obnoxious if you use your phone in several languages - it’s a pain to have to change from English to Spanish etc. but it’s a real pain if you don’t and have to change mistakes in practically every word.
So agree with this! 😳
So when Israel recognises a breakaway Catalonia...?
They can even recognize Narnia if they want. There is a UN mandate for a Palestinian State. Can you show me in which UN chart there is a mandate for a Catalan State?
@@alfredoarroyo9201why not though ? What's soup for the goose ...
@@davidhibble3020 Basically because Catalans, as per the last elections, don't seem to want it
03:54 Good luck finding staff fitting those requirements 😂They left out underpaid, no breaks and in general inhumane working conditions 🤣
The VAT tax rebate is only for goods exported from Spain or EU. So, tourists cannot get VAT back on services like hotels, rental cars or meals, but if they buy goods like souvenirs, art, clothes etc and keep the receipts, they can get a rebate of the VAT they paid on those goods which thye take with them back home...
Thank you Stu 😊
Hi Stu. In Australia you can also get some tax money back after having visited. Not sure if GST or other kind of tax, but I was told this once when I bought a MacBook there.
With regard to IVA / VAT refunds, perhaps it might be worth it if you buy some expensive item in Spain because there is a risk that customs at your destination airport might want you to pay your home import duty & VAT. Unlikely, but theoretically possible?
It's only on purchases over €175 and it has to be from a store that participates. Mainly designer clothes, jewellery etc
Tax refunds appears to be easier as some stores offer to fill out the paperwork, there and then, as long as you have a passport.
Spanish companies are in Argentina because they make profits there. Pedro Sánchez's hurt feelings are of little concern to corporations. If Milei is successful in improving Argentina's economy, the corporations will be beating a path to the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires. Diplomats are a waste of the people's money.
Several years ago, I was able to get my taxes back from my purchases in Ireland and Scotland at the airport. I dropped off the form, showed US passport and proof of receipts at the airport office and received my rebate about 4 weeks later. Im not sure about the process now.
VAT refund did not work for me in Madrid. I went to the office at the airport and the run around was impossible.
Yeah, here in Marbella, I have come across many job offerings for servers that require 3 languages + experience and all that for 1300 per month before tax. Just unreal.
For reference, one bedroom apartment here is about 1100 per month
The getting VAT back is only on certain purchases over a certain amount. There are apps you can register with that supposedly make it easier. You have to present the articles and receipts and paperwork at the special offices at the airport.
I have filed and never seen the money returned to my account.
I might miss your updates the next 10 days. I am taking Queen Mary 2 on an Atlantic crossing tomorrow. The wifi available might be weak. Thanks for keeping us informed about Spain.
Fill all those requirements (plus master's degree) and they'll likely pay you 5 euros an hour. Which is a decent wage these days in Spain.
Preductove toxt should be banned Stuart. We have brains to help us write coherently and correctly.
On which basis do you say Spain supported Argentina on the Falklands war? The Spanish government was neutral. Another thing is that Spanish people, for sentimental reasons, was more inclined to support Argentina. Which is the obvious choice for Spain since Argentina is a close country (language, people, culture etc).
Thank you, Stuart😊
Damn fools those Spanish companies worrying about Milei, his whole ethos is to get out of the way and not take anything if at all possible. There is no prospect whatsoever of his government seizing Spanish-owned assets in Argentina, his whole pitch is to get anyone who wants to invest there to come in. That will benefit Argentina. In 15 years, Spaniards will be looking for work in BA, like Portuguese used to go to Venezuela in the 1980s.
Hi Stuart
What a thing to say xx
Yes the water industry is very much a fraudulent Ponzi scheme!!!!!
I feel I have to comment on spelling errors. Have you ever considered that perhaps, like myself, some people have eye problems that glasses do not help. To type this slowly to hopefully be typed correctky, is a pain & as I touch type this tiny phone keyboard, I can assure you it is extremely hard. I have no idea if I have made an error & cannot see prep text. Just a thought, but then perhaps you would rather we didn't comment. Oh, & apologies for not buying you a coffee, but because of eyes, no online banking.
Enjoy hearing your News input ...
Kind regards, M
What about the water companies in UK. Want rises of 23% to 91%. xx
Estoy muy oreocupada 🤔
Mandaremos la Amada española a la Argentina? 😂😂😊
En los 90 la enviamos a Canadá, por el fletán, y nadie sabía lo que era ese pescado. A la Armada. La amada seguro que tira para la Argentina y más si es gallega. Y estarás oreocupada comiendo galletas oreo. No lo digo para tocar los ovarios sino porque me ha hecho gracia. Algunas veces algunos nativos en inglés se equivocan y yo me vuelvo loco intentando adivinar lo que han escrito.
On the Palestinian question, Sr. Sanchez maybe should have checked with the Palestinians as to where the state of Palestine should be. I don't think they agree with him.
I always thought that the IVA rebate only applied to items purchased in the EU and being taken out of the country. If people tried to reclaim every bit of IVA they had paid, like restaurant meals etc. that would be farcical.
For those maybe wondering the Kelly thing is a contraction of 'Las que limpiar'.
you are correct, its only for goods taken out of the country not for services
Israel is considering recognising Catalonia. In the circumstances why not?
I've never bothered to claim the VAT refund.
🌹🌹🇪🇸🇪🇺🌹🌹🍷🍷👍
Seems fair to me
Speaking of endives and vegetables; could someone please explain why Spanish foods are devoid of vegetables?
Paella is made with vegetables. Gazpacho is made exclusively out of vegetables. Fideua is made with vegetables. So are a big variety of omelettes. Spanish food is just Mediterranean diet and by the way is the best diet in the world
Could you explain me why anybody will eat boiled eels encased in flavourless jelly without any seasoning? Or eating beans straight from a can over a toast? Get a life
Hi all. As an american i am glad to hear that spain supports the palestinian state. White i would never support hamas nor the destruction of israel, the gaza strip is a different matter full of illegal settlers who feel impowered to create an apartheid state by vigilante actions and not facing repercussions.
There are no Israelis except abused hostages in Gaza. Settlers are on the West Bank, & you're the average moron on this site.
Yes congratulations Spain.
18Bns is nothing in today's economy...... Tell the Argentinas to do one... And don't buy their tins of corned beef.... Tony cuenca
I'm all for Pedro Sanchez' bold foreign policy moves this week. Recognising Palestine, better late than never, and thumping that facha Milei. I'm sure Israel will recall their ambassador to Spain and I'm also sure Milei can't afford to lose the Spanish investments.
Milei insulted Lula before, eventhough Brazil is Argentina's first trading partner. She also insulted López Obrador, who I believe has been the only president of Mexico that not even Mexicans have ever insulted. Those are family quarrels so it's ok. Nothing serious yet. But he also messes with China!
Oh, lots of Mexicans have and still insult López Obrador, but are usually the same type of Mexicans who used to benefit financially from all the corruption that poisoned Mexico for well over 70 years. Those people can't stand that López Obrador is taking that away from them and actually doing things that benefit the working class and the elderly.
Congratulations to Spain for being on the right side of history.
Stuart, why do you feel the need to read out the text on the screen word for word instead of just commenting on the story? It's extremely boring, mate. I lose the will to live, listening to you, you're like a 2024 Max Headroom!
It’s maybe useful for people whose first language isn’t English. They may take a while to read and understand. If you don’t like the format you don’t have to follow the channel. I’m happy with the format
Definitely should stay away from the Palestine issue. It is Israel issue & Jewish origin region. I think Jews have suffered enough from European policys over the centuries.
