I'm glad you enjoyed my city! I even managed to spot my house somewhere there hahaha. It's nice to see foreigners appreciate the city for what it has and not only get lost in tourist traps, thank you for this video.

Tarragona has been a port of call for the US Navy for many years, even the aircraft John Fitgerald Kennedy called this port twice. I recommend all seafarers to visit the city, enjoying its gastronomy and its beaches. It handles more than 30 millions tons of goods, being the fourth or fifth port in Spain. Nice city and nice people. A very well edited video. Thanks from Tarraco!

Engineer, Historian and Tour Guide....you are a true Renaissance Man! This was awesome, Thanks, Chief! Safe Travels!

Chief Makoi, I'm like you, here in America as I traveled all over North America especially as I drove my trucks out in the open country I'd see old buildings, farm houses, barns, etc. I always asked myself, "If these places and structures could tell me their stories of the many people that built them from the ground up, who lived and worked inside each, why did they leave, were they peaceful places for the families that called them home?" I always enjoy all your historical places you show and talk about to all of us & sharing your s and your shipmate's lives with all of us, Be & Stay Well my friend.

Hey chief, long time watcher, first time commenting, I just wanted to say we appreciate all that you do mate, I know it is a tough time we're all going through, but without the truck, train, plane and ship industry, society would collapse. I am a train driver here in australia mate, and I just wanted to say we appreciate you all

Good to hear from you again. You've been missed. You are exactly correct about the malls. They are mostly all the same no matter what country you're in. To see the history of a country or a city is exciting, educational and full of great memories for life. Take care and stay safe. 😎👍👌

Chief MAKOi, I have been enjoying your videos for about a year. Just thought I would say, you do a great job with these. The subject matter is interesting, but your smooth, easy narrative delivery is what makes your videos successful. Keep at it, and thanks. Gary

When we were in Tarragona they had gladiator shows in the coliseum amphitheater! You sat in the stone seats and the actors were in the arena. It was great!

Hope you are doing okay Chief. A merchant seaman's life is very tough, And with what's going on right now with the global supply chain disruptions its getting a whole lot tougher. All my best to you and your family, and I want to thank you for all the great seaman vlogs you have made over the years. You have made a great contribution to and provided much inspiration to the youth involved in the Maritime industry of your country. God Bless.

What A beautiful places to Ponder. Shout-out chief. God bless you

Great entertainment, fantastic to see and learn about this place. Hope you enjoyed your time ashore and thanks for sharing this very interesting vid.

This was the big draw for me to join the US Navy. I didn't get to Europe but traveled in the Far West. I made memories and saw things and went places many of my friends only dreamed of. Thanks for sharing this video Chief.

So fricking cool! The amphitheater was, WOW! And the aqua ducts, amazing! Thanks Chief, you took me where I have never and will never go. Dammit again really cool. Blessings and safe travels!!

I’m glad you had a good time in my country. Thank you for taking us around in a beautiful video. Take care, be well and stay safe! 👍🏼

Good work Chief. What you do on KZfaq echoes in eternity ...

Tarragona Spain is a beautiful small city on the Med. I visited there many many years ago in the mid 1960's and nothing has changed much over that time. It's great you're into ancient history especially the Roman Empire and their far reaching effect on Europe. There's another Roman amphitheater located in Arles, France that remains in use to this day. Although not located on the Med, it's worth a day trip from Marseilles should you ever have shore leave there. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful city. Stay safe in your travels

Good to see ya again Chief. There certainly are some beautiful places out there. Living in Pennsylvania we look at history here in the US as a couple hundred years, we were in Italy a few years back and they measure history by the thousand years!!! It's really hard to describe to people what it's like being at those ancient sites. I can't imagine how difficult it must be being stuck on the ship for so long. For those who have wives waiting at home I nominate them for saint hood. Gods Peace Chief.

Hola Chief 😊! It's nice to hear your impressions from your visit to Tarragona. You summarized very well the history of Tarraco, I couldn't make it better (and I live here 😁). We can see in your video that the Pont del Diable is really impressive, it's a place where I use to walk from Tarragona and I love it! The Romans were very smart builders. I hope that, through your new contract, you visit other beautiful places and discover about the incredible richness and diversity of our humanity. Keep well, Chief, and sorry for the language, sometimes I don't use the correct expressions.

I will add another WOW and a thank you. I knew that the Romans were in Spain back then but I have never seen those wonderful places before :-D

Thank you for this awesome tour. GOD Bless you Chief.

Chief .. watching your stories like inhaling fresh oxygenated air .. keep going .. missed your absence these days .. after a long time I could breathe fresh air again after seeing your episode.

Good to see you back chief'😊

Hey Chief, It has been a long time since your last upload! I miss your great content. I'm sorry to hear that you and your crew are confined to your ship. Your fans long for your vlogs! Take care.

We missed this kind of content chief!!! Safe sailing Always!!! Godbless

Thank you for sharing chief keep safe.🖤

I love old places. That was a fortunate excursion. It was a nice warming video coming to the cool southern hemisphere in Adelaide south Australia.

Salamat. Great video, aqueduct is amazing. Best wishes always Chief.

Great stuff Chief MAKOi, thanks for sharing. It's great to see a new video especially of a special place. Stay safe from Australia. 😀👍

Thank you Chief MAKOi! 🤩 Greetings from Greenwich London ⚓️ ⛵️ Cheers ☕️ 🥄 👍 🍀

Hi Chief :) I have been so lucky to have the opportunity of shoreleave in nearly every ports i visited between 1980 and 1985, while i was employed by Maersk Line. And i have been in Tarragona many times, when one of the ships did have a contract going from Tarragona in Spain and Venezuela. :) It's a beautiful place. :)

Always you have managed to craft and edit the story you are covering to great effect.... but this episode the camera work was exemplary with all the shots in the ruins...congratulations! Videos like this make the pan-pan stay at home just a little easier in these parlous times...

A beautiful video, thank you! Your videos are better than every documentary about cargo-shipping or seafaring you can see on TV; you're showing your personal impressions and experiences that makes it so interesting. I have one question, when you have the chance for a shore-leave: Do you need a visa or something, when you leave the harbor for a shore leave? If yes, will you get this in the port on the day you want to go on shore, or do you need to request or even apply for the visa before you arrive in the country? All the best and greetings from Germany

Wow 😯 what a lovely city!! I love ❤️ history also and never heard of this area. Really exciting Chief!! Looks a lot like going to Rome where I’ve been twice. I hope you had a nice visit 🙋🏽‍♀️💕

Thanks Chief for another wonderful video. Safe travels.

Thank you for taking us on the tour of Tarragon,Spain! It was great to have you as our tour guide! It was a great learning experience! Salamat po, Chief! Much Mabuhay and safe passages! 🤙🙏🌅

Chief Makoi what a beautiful short clip of your shore leave even for a few hours....it was so nice to see it through your eyes!! Thank you!!

I see in the background, of the shots overlooking the harbour, that there where many ships at anchor. Obviously, the Port was experiencing a backlog of ships to both load/unload, which has become an issue with Ports around the world. I recall from previous vlogs of yours, you have experienced the same backlog issues. It is a sign of "current times" with shipping, and no Country is immune from it. Safe travels, Chief, look forward to sailing with you, from Tarragona.

Oh, I know you only had a limited time, but there is so much more in Tarragona. But thanks for the visit! Good sailing!

Thank you for this Chief. What a relaxing video especially during these mentally challenging times. God bless you and keep you safe.

Welcome back Chief, glad you guys were able to get off the ship for a while!

SO happy to see you back! I've missed your videos!

Europe is such a gorgeous place.

I been waiting for this, Chief. Welcome back. Stay safe.

As always, well done. I’ve been missing your updates and this one took me back when I trekked Europe and Asia 30 years ago.

A shore leave in seafarer's life at this time is like finding Water in the middle of the dessert :-)

I enjoy learning the history of places I visit and researching them ahead of time just like yourself. It’s much better doing that than visiting malls which are pretty much the same everywhere unless you really need to buy something.

That was one of the best vlogs you have done in a long time. It was wonderful. Thank you.

Thank You! For the adventure back into time. Looking forward to the next time.

Thanx chief, another great episode

Had to re watch this one, even better the second time around, super job Chief, all the best !!!

What a nice video Chief. I swear it is good as anything I've seen on television. Your narration was smooth and you didn't over do it. The screen shoots are fantastic and really captured the beauty of Tarragona. What a place to be able to visit. I always get a smile when I see you in my notifications and say to my wife, "The Chief is on , come watch with me" and it always makes her smile also. Keep them coming please. Until next time, safe travels.

Thanks for sharing this history & the fantastic drone shots! Glad to see another video. Hope all is well with you and your family. God bless!

Thank you for including us on your Shore leave, we really enjoyed it. I had go to Google maps to follow along with you.

Glad you’re back. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see another video. Seafarers like you and your crew, keep the world going even in these times

Nice to see you again Chief, thanks for all you do!

Thanks Chief, and glad to know you’re still out there showing us the world.

Wow! What a neat informative video! You did it again, good job Chief, thanks for the entertainment, all the best to you and yours.

This is an amazing episode chief. Keep up the great work you do!!!

Awesome video. Thank you for posting something most people will not ever be able to see and appreciate. Stay safe!!

Sorry you guys went so long without shore leave. I’m glad you enjoyed this beautiful place! And I’m glad for your upload. 😍. Enjoyed it, as always. The aqueduct-wow. Never realized how massive they were!

I always liked seeing ruins or old forts or typical building architecture styles in the different ports when I would get shore leave. Many times the eng. dept. would get their shore time cut short or wouldn't happen at all due to scheduled fueling operations. I know you know how that goes. It felt so good to go ashore and reduce that fatigue and feel normal again just walking and looking around after long stints at sea or worse, being in a port where you couldn't go ashore for one reason or another. This brings back a lot of memories, mostly good ones. Thanks for the video chief. Have a good watch.

I was entertained! Thank you.

Thank you for allowing us to view ancient history through your eyes. I am always in awe of how 2000 years ago they could construct structures that are still standing today. This was not what I expected to see in your video but I was not disappointed and enjoyed the tour of this beautiful city. Hopefully our world will get back to normal. Thank you and be safe.

I usually watch historical channels and started watching your material out of curiosity. I wasn't expecting to see such beautiful ancient Roman ruins on here! Cheers!

Glad to know youre still kicking around, Chief. Fair winds and smooth seas to ye!

Great job Chief. It is also true, for us, that cruises are also a way to see places briefly to get an idea where we want to visit more extensively later. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with you Chief, enjoy the historical areas you visit. You all are doing an important job for the community delivering and/or picking up goods for their community to continue to thrive. Thanks to you and your crow for moving the cargo we all need. I am sorry you all are not getting much of the needed shore leave. Enjoy your time with your family until your next time on a ship.

Great see you again chief, a great video. Thank you for sharing.

Time well spent! A similar mentality can be taken when going on a cruise. The most enjoyable time I had on my last cruise was just meandering around Mazatlan, preset shore excursions can't hold a candle to that experience.

Very educational and entertaining to say the least. I to enjoy old history and the things of long ago. Thank you for showing us a small part of the past.

I'm delighted to see one of your videos again - and see you out and about. I love your videos

Through your videos you sir manage to channel the essence of what it must feel like to be a seafarer. Somehow even in your shoreleave videos one can appreciate the sights from a different perspective as the spirit of the sea is there. Thank you and safe travels.

Oooo Thank you! These are the types of places I visit when I travel, but like so many of us, can't right now. So glad you were able to get on land and wander. Safe Travels.

Thank you for taking the time to give a great tour, simply amazing.

Hi there! I'm from Tarragona and I really appreciate all the nice things you've said. Being next to Barcelona, ​​Tarragona is not usually given much recognition. Your video has enchanted me, really thank you!

This is one of your best. Thanks for taking us along with you on the tour.

Awesome trip! Went jut where I would have gone, thanks for taking us along!

thanks for this historic documentary! Great! And I love to see that you and your crew could make it to shore!

I was entertained ! Ty Chief as always .

Thanks Chief, another great video - and thank you all seafarers who keep goods circulating around the world.

Safe voyages Chief. Much appreciation of what you do to keep this world a better place.

Thanks Chief for taking me along on your adventure..............

Gracias por visitar nuestra ciudad y mostrar todo lo que tenemos para ofrecer a los visitantes!

Another Great Video Chief, I know there will be many more...!!!

Your recordings are always enjoyable. But this one is great! Would have never thought a smallish city would have such a history. Thanks!

feels like I'm on a tour on your every video. Lakas maka documentary talaga. Keep it up chief !

Another great video chief!! Keep the great videos coming!

A few years ago I got to work in Valencia, Spain for three weeks. Beautiful country and so much history to see. The people were nice as well as the food! Good to see you on shore. I know you enjoyed it.

Pretty cool, Chief. I think you do it right - you'll be able to look back on your career and have the satisfaction of knowing that you got more out of it than most!

One of your best chief ! Would love to wander around those amazing places.

Good to have you back and good to hear from you. I very much enjoyed your presentation.

Loved this share huge thanks mate.

A long overdue video . As always a well chosen subject with fine filming and editing combined with excellent narration .What's not to like .

Another great vlog Chief!

Missed your videos. Glad you are back and I agree with you about going to mall instead of sight seeing.

Welcome back Chief, the vlog is worth the wait😎

Again thank you so much chief for sharing your adventures without you I would not be able to see these period you have a higher calling you should be doing documentaries on travel you have a natural act of explaining the truth in the root of history maybe look into pursuing that I love watching your videos if so informative and you have a passion thank you again Joe dirt

Aspiring seafarer here. It's always a delight to watch your videos Chief and I'm a big fan of yours.
