      That might be the first time I've eaten rabbit, I can't think of another time. I didn't describe what it was like in the video, so I'll try to describe it here. It was definitely a bit unusual, I think both psychologically simply because you're thinking about the fact that you're eating a bunny, but also it's noticeably different from other meats. I'd say it's pretty similar to chicken, but a little tougher and it has a distinctive taste, I guess a bit gamey. And it was a fair amount of work as there were random little bones in the way, so it was a matter of picking out small pieces of meat. The green garlic sauce that came with it was really good and added a lot of flavor. I would definitely have it again, partly because it's something different for a change and also because it was overall pretty good. And fun fact that I learned recently: the word for Spain actually means "land of the rabbits". It was given that name by the Carthaginians in around 300 BC. Who were the Carthaginians? Good question.

      There’s two restaurants in Formentera to AVOID, both rip off tourists charge 5x the price, been reported many times. One is Juan y Andrea, a beach shack on Ses Iletes beach (a bottle of water is 8€, one small beer 7€ and that was some years ago, tourists receipts went viral). The other is a seafood restaurant called Es Menestre which charges you hundreds for a dozen oysters and when someone refused to pay the police were called and the Italian tourist was forced to pay it, it was a scam.

      In future viewers can see videos that are made from peoples memories. Its already public that thoughts cant be turned into text, and many figure out more what can be done to get accurate historical travel-videos.

      If you have no plans for the next travel I would suggest visiting Andalucia, in the south of Spain. Really a stunning area with great cities like Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba and Ronda. Might want to extend with a trip to Gibraltar.

      Hi everyone. I saw Gabriel last saturday on the flight from Valencia to Ibiza. I didnt want to bother him, but observing him you could see that is a humble and laid back guy thats not in the youtube travelbog for the money like many youtubers. In his videos you could see that he enjoys travelling and his videos are a way to pay and mantain his passion. Enjoy the beautiful island of formentera

      Santorini was the opposite direction to Mykonos on that sign. I get it's not going to exact, but they could have put a bit more effort into to directions 🤣
