In today's video, I'm diving into the heart of Spain, a country that beautifully meshes Western European charm with affordability, especially when compared to its neighbors like France or Germany. Ever wondered how much breakfast costs in Valencia, Spain? Curious about how far a simple €25 (or $27) can take you in a day? Well, join me as I start my morning seeking out the best local breakfast treats, indulge in the simple pleasure of a Spanish coffee, savor a hearty 'Menu del Día' lunch and as the sun sets I will try to find some dinner and entertainment. So, if you've ever thought of Spain as just another pricey European destination, let's challenge that notion together and uncover the authentic experiences this beautiful country holds, all without emptying our wallets.

I swear. I'm living in a nightmare in the US 🤦🏾♂️
The best thing I ever did, was leaving the US.
Me too! Living the good life here in Lisbon!!
The salaries tend to be lower in Spain as well. It’s good for remote work though.
Highest salaries in the world in the US.
Make your money there and then move.
@@Srcccfy I can understand that many American of US think only in US salary VS Spain (or another country) salary and nothing more. But they don´t understand (because don´t think a little) that in Spain (and another countries too) the cost of life is adapted to the salary.
In the end, the level of the life quality in Spain, in general, is more high that in the US, even with the low salaries and it can be to enjoy more. Because the Estate invest much more money to cover the basic needs to their citizen. While in the US every citizen must cover itself from their own pokets and in the end all of these things cost much more.
The US people must change the chip of their mind from pure money or only pure profit material like in the US culture when they go out of their country, to balance between money profit and enjoy the life with human quality, because in many other countries the mentality is very different.
What sense have gain a lot of money, but then can´t be enjoy it because they haven´t enough time? What sense have it? It have sense when for an inmigrant who want to gain all he/she can for then go back to his/her country to make a business or another thing for example. But to the US people who must to pay the very expensive taxes, private healthcare and many other costs for theirself and their families too? They gain much more money that a Spanish people, yes, but... How many money have at the final month? Can they regularly go to a bar, restaurant, etc to eat, drink more than one day in the week? Then... Who is more rich and can enjoy the life in the end?
All US people would must ask theirself what prefere, more salary but without time to enjoy it or less salary but with a very high life quality and time to enjoy it. How their think would are more happy in one very oppresive country or in one much less oppresive as humans. Less labor rights or much more labor rights.
I hope it understand.
Regards.
Even if you went slightly over budget, you were still able to buy breakfast, lunch, dinner, a coffee, wine and a movie ticket! I can easily spend that here in LA on one meal.
As you said staying out of the tourist areas is key. Thanks for showing you can set a budget and not feel deprived.
Come to Bilbao. We need you to show the city!!!!
Si !!!!, gora Bilbo!!!!
Fichar a otra
Ramon Bilbao is an excellent wine, one of the best in quality/price ratio, it is the type that we Spaniards usually drink at lunch or dinner away from home, as long as it is not an occasion that deserves something better, however, any wine loses A lot if you drink it directly from the bottle, when serving the wine it is oxygenated. You have good taste in wine.
The small bottle of wine is expensive, there are excellent wine for 3 euros the bottle of 750 CC.
That's what she said. She could buy a full bottle for 2,80 but she can't carry it.
I like the topic. Keep doing this.
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘Muy interesante el video de hoy,,, Thanks a lot Antonetta!!
I'm trying to find your video on Malaga as I am going to visit soon. Many years since I was there so I'm sure it's changed
Hello antonetta! I hope to visit Spain and Valencia one day soon but first I plan on joining the navy! I might get stationed in Spain so I hope I can see the city!
NAVSTA Rota... Amazing place.
Try the falafel close too Torres de Serrano its a small Lebanese bakery So good👌
I know it it’s very good
That was a great video, I loved it!! ❤
Loved this video! Can you also do a market haul?
Thank you so much. We’re coming to Valencia in October.
Thank you for sharing.
Great video, thanks for the budget journey👍🏼
great job
Great content, huge fan!
I am in Amsterdam now as we speak 😋
@@ANTOANETTA The weather is really nice today! It’s a nice day for a tour!
the spicy sauce is Valentina Salsa, a quintessentially mexican spicy sauce, but it is so spicy that kills any other flavor.
You'd think 25 Euros is not a lot. I think it is a lot for the day. 50 used to be my weekly food budget here, now impossible. 😢 Having said that, you still managed to find cheap items, so well done.😊 Dog baths I have not seen anywhere, what a great idea! 😊
Valencia has very few concerts from headliners, and you have to go to Barcelona and Madrid to see them. In the summer you may have concerts in the park, but in the winter its a dead zone.
Which area in Valencia is convenient to stay for Christmas? Recommendation for Christmas dinner as well .
I hope your dog get well !!!
Wow just two fast food value meals in the US would be close to that price.
You can eat out for a week for the same, in some countries.
Believe me, I slow travel the world.
Aaaaasahhhh!!!!!! Simdi orda İspanya da olmak vardi yaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
Cok gùzel bir górsel olmuş
Tebrikler
Very beatiful👍👍😘😘❤️❤️❣️❣️❣️
Hay there Antoanetta 😉,
I must say you've in a more or less funny way accomplished a fully fletched let's say 8 hour survival day on a low budget just to example some Lifeline possibilities which I admire cause people exist in all walks of Life. You show it can be done nd anyone fills in according to their own Lifestyle. When it comes to presenting food eating outside one thing I learned of importance it past is that Spain handles different prices upon preference of sitting fi at the bar which is the least expensive amount , a table inside of your choosing which costs the average middle nd a table outside at the terrace which you pay the most. Also a consideration by thinking about budgetting 😉. Thank you for informing nd inspiring us , it's sure a challenge worth trying out even just for laughs 😄.
For the next year a one on one would be interesting nd I'm also thinking about purchasing your Valencia guide 😉.
Talk to you later , sweet greetz from BE 🇧🇪✋😉
Special request: Can you do an episode of where different ethnic communities live or go? By ethnic, it can mean where most Chinese or Filipinos live, where Americans live, where other Europeans live and where everyone come together?
Pues aquí vivimos mezclados, lo de vivir separados por etnias no se lleva.
@@jmgf6006 That's good to know. Thanks
@@denniszenanywhereYeah, here in Spain is not usual separate racial areas. At least not in the Northern part
In Spain we all live together, mixed, we do that since the XVIth century.
Lo de vivir segregados por barrios étnicos no existe en España. Nuestro carácter y forma de ser es integradora y hospitalaria. No somos una sociedad racista.
Lol! It is cheaper there than Varna, Bulgaria!
To drink the wine in the park is not well considered in Spain, even worse directly from the bottle.
nobody cares and less if a person form other countries do
Thats true, sit at a cafe and drink your wine is what is to be expected drink in the park is frown on
@@pereximepere8439well educated people care. Most of Spaniards, I am pretty sure about this!.
@@thomasmeyer1408well it depend where u are, but if an spanish see someone doing stranger things eating in a park automatically know is a foreight person , a pellegrin, and dont care the same as if is a local person do.
$27 doesn’t even cover two people for lunch at a Chinese restaurant in SE Portland Oregon. Two people here would cost $34 before tip.
Is it so expensive there?
I am from a Small town in Spain and Antoneta showed me something from a more expensive city than most in Spain as it is a tourist area.
Here you can do the same for 20 or less.
And furthermore, tip is optional in Spain. No one will look at you in a bad way if you don’t leave it or you give 1 or 2 Euros, which happens to be the average tip here.
@@mara_jade021 that area that we went to is considered cheap. So yes very expensive. Over the weekend my wife and I went out to dinner and a movie the dinner was a Korean bbq place all you can eat $90 total with tip and then a movie for both of us with 1 soda and large popcorn $48 total.
@@gabrielanaya677 Wow! I know your salaries are better but damn!
@@mara_jade021 it’s not uncommon for families to need 3-4 streams of income just to stay afloat.
...so its actually at least 2 days food & drink, since you had two different clothing, hair do, different color nail 😁😘.. jk. great video!
Haha good eye but don’t forget all can happen in one day!
I don'n understant if you use, in every place, credit card or caah.
"bon apetit" ja.ja
I don't think this budget is possible in Madrid or Barcelona
Did u pay with your watch?
I use to pay with my watch, but you can use cash if you want.
Antoanetta, where are you from originally? My girlfriend thinks somewhere in Europe? Anways we will be in Barcelona, Tarragona, and Valencia in October. We like your content!
Bulgaria
In one of her earlier videos she let us understand that she is from Sofia, Bulgaria. From there she emigrated to the USA and from there to Spain.
@@rohkofantti8673 Thank you, brother!
@@Juanfernandez-sm8jl Gracias, hermano!
She was born in Bulgaria, but she is Spanish.
Much cheaper than in Romania:)
Really?
@@cal9112 Yes:)
Valencia is reaching western EU prices especially when it comes to property. I don't know how the locals survive..
Los lugareños ya suelen tener propiedad
All this, WITHOUT the constant, nagging thought in the back of your mind, that at any given moment, a mass shooting could occur. We never felt safer, than when traveling in Spain, at any hour of the day or night.
Being your Bulgarian origins, it is now understood that you team up with your camera for your videos.
I'm curious to know who your partner is, how you crossed the Iron Curtain to North America.
It sure is an exciting adventure.
Another thing is that you offer guidance for older people...
A challenge!
With that profile, I'm sure your Spanish is almost perfect.
Romanians do not have an accent.
Anyway, I guess the Valencians appreciate you work for what it's worth...
That’s a lot of carbs, that’s why it’s cheap haha
I think it's hilarious that someone that just moved there not long ago is now selling Guide to Valencia... 🙄🙄🙄🙄 the entitlement is real.
how is that entitlement?
Coffee in a plastic cup with a straw and drinking wine from the bottle? Come on, you're not in the US anymore!
So Spain have just won the women's world cup. But instead of celebrating victory, one of the players has decided to accuse their president of sexual abuse. Justified? or has Spain alwayd embraced what we like to call US-derived feminism?
Dude get a grip, it’s called sexual harassment. If it had been your daughter or sister being harassed you would be singing a different tune. Stop justifying the aggression.
@@user-cb9ke4xs3y Coach was a little over the top. It was innocent. He should apologize.
@@user-cb9ke4xs3y If it were your daughter, you'd do nothing because you wouldn't want your daughter's career to go in the downard direction.
@@MiteshDamania You see, women's football needs men to support it. This is a disaster for both women and men who watch it, unfortunately.
@@smokescreen2146this makes it much worse.
I'm living in Coimbra in Portugal for nearly two years now, (not Lisbon nor Porto) for far less. Of course, you can indulge eating outside for 15 Euros, this way your number is good. My accommodation is a premium T1 Airbnb, with a huge discount for a year's contract. I buy things and equipment, because I'm relocating from Argentina. My total expenses are about 1300 Euros a month, but money is not my problem, may be because I watch it. Of course in Estoril it would be far more money, and the Numbeo QOL index (in the internet) for this city is way lower than for Coimbra, but better than Lisbon (185 Coimbra vs 169, and substandard 150 in expensive Lisbon) This QOL index for Valencia is really superb, 197 points.
Some folks don’t have the privilege and the luxury to run away from their responsibilities in the US. It’s nice to know, however, what could’ve been.
