Madrileños por el mundo: Islas Maldivas

of Madrid with climate change the rise in sea level it is estimated that perhaps in 100 years the Maldivian islands will disappear 198 islands or 300 uninhabited from 2004 that happened he sounds to me now and like some very strict measures so that the people evacuate the islands, many islands that were devastated, there is talk of 100 deaths, bad basics, it is a Muslim country, the first country per capita in Issys militants, it is the country with the largest population of mantas in the world, this is totally private and exclusive, this is almost like having a private beach because it is practically that and with an infinity pool 2 Penelope Cruz-Madonna or Cristiano Ronaldo have chosen these beaches to spend their holidays.

It is one of the last paradises on earth with nearly 1000 virgin islands and an average annual temperature of almost 30 degrees, that's why our people from Madrid don't even want to go back, but we're going to see how well they live. Welcome to people from Madrid around the world. Maldives. How Ignacia knows every corner of the Maldives. From above, she is in charge of taking those who are lucky enough to come. here on vacation to his particular paradise Ignacio A and my pilot career in Salamanca and he comes to try his luck here I am a pilot for the largest seaplane company in the world Maldives there are a lot of resorts with species designed for the country and we connect them from here we do an air taxi service picking up people carrying their suitcases and taking solutions from door to door and how long have you been here maldives well for two and a half years I arrived in April 2015 I have to stay a couple of more years because I don't see where and why look here work in our hobby I found nothing in Spain and decided to do the course and another plane is in Italy to steal luck and one sends the resume through a friend they also called me how old are you Ignacio 28 did you live with a partner or did you come alone single single single single own here at 50 love here I had a Maldivian girlfriend for nine months and we lived together and so on and in the end we left it a year ago at that time single but happy in need of something else in Madrid a lot of here I see a pizza delivery man lifeguard working a mine also some months at the bernabéu at the box office it took me a year or so to find the job but in the senate now I am very happy here there is not a day that I do not have a passenger and he told me he has the best job in the world of many people and encouraged help To you, the steward Trini is in practice, he is also Maldivian, both Chilango and selling that they sometimes speak the national language of the Maldives and not only that word is worth speaking and not some words that are not essential for the operation, I am realizing that you have a purpose very well placed in your xalapa in Spain of course when the Spanish or Madrid passengers get on and worship that Spanish and they earn more than in Spain a pilot earns more here Maldives around 2,700 a month grandchildren and it is very different to drive a landmark airplane of an order or the handling is exactly the same the only thing is the technique to land in the water is a little different and when taking off and when there are big waves it becomes a little dangerous but well the sea is perfect there as you can see in all that the weather is good and the sciences 98 are three hundred uninhabited the majority are local lists it is due to local people and those of 200,000 inhabitants 300 to 400 are like risotto the island interest the resort knows nothing more guitars like the majority five minutes make the return to the isolated while Fuentes Peñas has nothing to do with the Canary Islands to the Caribbean we have already reached the fields of getting to draw this mouse island here we leave the passengers from a pick up with the Holliday boat are those who come to spend a vacation how long week five Cheer up, it's a honeymoon day like this, this is the hotel's private boat that comes to pick you up and that's wow, this vacation couldn't be more luxurious, it's the people, enjoy it, west, look closely at 4 Maldivians on this boat, for the tourists, this one.

The boat is average, so sometimes some yachts come that you don't see for 15 minutes alone, super small, but as a universe, the country itself has 90 thousand square kilometers, but only 1% esther land, mainland, we reach about 300 square kilometers since there is a lot of water and it is easy of the islands super dispersed I have come from Germany to help vacation holiday how many days 2 2100 each about 4,200 in the week of vacation in walt whitman audi why did you choose and maldives 22 for the greens for the sun and for the sea in I had a great time, this is called water village, the ones that are like that in the water are much more expensive, at least double the price for what it looks like, I would say 12 thousand a night or something like that, I don't know, it just hurts me Thinking about it like this, Ignacio and actors are famous footballers, well, Federer usually comes a lot to Rne de León Reasor, French, like twice a year with his family, to Ronaldo, before the Gordito, I also took him to Diego Costa, Fernando Torres, there are many people who come secretly as well.

They don't know it's here or anything, they arrive on a private jet to the airport, they take them by minibus to their plane, it's been a plane and the seaplane directly to the resort, this one looks fabulous, this resort has never been in this state because it only opened a few years ago. three months again, Ignacio, they even have almost a platform that goes directly to the room on the walkway directly to the reception and to the villas. When you arrive and when you leave the resort, all the Franquis always line up for tonight. Well, we're done.

The day now we are going to see each other badly in the capital this is Adrián my roommate from Madrid we studied together in Spain and in Madrid where I love today a moment the two men with their pilot uniform you came alone also like Ignacio here guys very different from The Spanish, which is the most different thing for me, the theatrical bonfires are Maldivian, they are jealous and very demanding, very demanding, as much as we are away all week flying and they always ask you to finish at home but that is not our thing.

It's not up to us until then well welcome to Mali this is the capital of the Maldives Valdebebas is a Muslim country while the beach is the most densely populated city in the world with about 40 thousand inhabitants per square kilometer Mahle measures only about 3 kilometers long per two and a half wide and as you can see the streets are constantly overwhelmed by motorcycles and vehicles. How many inhabitants are there in suitcases? About 330,000 live in the rest of the Maldives and then in the rest of the Maldives, another 250,000 live well in the rest of the islands when the 2004 tsunami hits. many people from the local islands had to move to mali to the capital because their islands were devastated and they lived in mali since 2004 this is a big problem with the population in balès is that there is not even a square meter left to build just for up here, for example, renting an apartment or counting how much an apartment can cost much more expensive than in Madrid, the truth is that a normal rental of an apartment with two bedrooms can easily go for 2,000 euros per month rent, trying to cross is what It's a bit impossible, zebra crossings or traffic lights are possible.

In fact, when you cross you have to cross very determinedly because if you hesitate and stop, they also stop and crash and in the end everything goes wrong here everyone has more than one motorcycle. Even how many motorcycles there are here today per family, I think every family in the Maldives has two or three motorcycles. Well, here are the two main economic activities in the Maldives or tourism, of course, and fishing is also what they export the most from the sea to the fish market. The one here next door was 10 meters away, another one in the little boat that is the proof that it is fresh fresh fresher impossible to have oysters from the traditional traditional Maldives really look at the market there is the Mahle fish market how it smells the smell is quite strong, here they bring all the pieces, especially tuna, which is what they catch the most here, what they eat the most, also fixed and they have to lift it between two, it's a piece of oyster fish, how many kilos can you have 56 kilos of fish, almost size, almost joe It's 55 euros a piece for all this here we have it very cheap let's see how to break it up this is an event see it there are mothers goodbye also prison it's not the butter keys hello and to the tourists how do they take photos and here what are they doing we arrived like The box of the entire market has to mark the price every morning with the pieces that arrive depending on the fish dirty like jelly beans 26 thousand 800 euros you are good for one day not bad this is the Plaza de la República de Mahle which would be like our plaza Mayor or Puerta del Sol in Madrid and it is much smaller and uglier also here we have a flag like in color or the same as that Maldivian flag the moon would mean the Muslim symbol green is like the color of the coconut trees on the islands there are many more topics josh and the red would be supposed to give blood shed during independence because a British protectorate is in 65 but they separated but it was quite peaceful come on very few people died this is the seat of the main government here lives the president whose name is jamming and political system there is here Ignacio that is a Muslim republic the current president was elected in 2013 in a not very legal way let's say the Maldivians half half of half the people like it another half does not come back much especially the cases of corruption since taking A lot of money in terms of all the auditors and all the money that comes to the Maldives is fairly distributed among all the ministers and he and his leadership let's say clearly that he rents them all.

It is easy for the government to understand that they get a lot of money, the government does. Yes, a lot, in fact, well, they made a documentary about the Jazira six to nine months ago that you can all see and there they uncovered a lot of things about the entire system in this country and where all the money goes and here the president here at the On the other side of this building he has his residence and then a few kilometers from Mahle he has a private island for him too, although weekly evaluations or it depends, what you see here is the presidential pier here, every time the president of any island has his ship disembark here with all his entourage, this is what escorts him in all this yeti but while he does not come, not to use any other boat as you see, here anyone comes and leaves and here and the Maldives there has been some terrorist attack, not an attack but four years ago there was a demonstration like this in male in favor of 'yes' and the data says that around 200 people arrived who have left for the population of the Maldives it is outrageous which makes it the first country per capita in issys olivia militants what is that those symbols that above and put this post wrong that is the level and the local language of Maldives is a mix between Arabic and Indian and the language is white yes yes postal mail of Maldives and then everyone speaks Ibéyise but their second language is English this the world is bilingual all the children in all the schools here study English as a second language with English you can perfectly well this is one of the evil mosques of the many that are here pray five times a day normally there is a different section for the women, which is on the upper floor and one of the fans, of course, here the women are covered up, but what we don't see are many women with and without pagers, there are also some, I would say that only the women, 15 percent of the women wear the entire burqa. who held over her eyes, she even wears gloves and socks, then we have these ones that have all their hair so you can see their face, and then there are some that are dressed quite modern like any girl from Madrid, but they wear a scarf on their head now that in a way This is where the health system works.

How does it work? There is a public health system that covers the most basic things: doctor visits and some medication that they may prescribe, but if you have a serious illness or need surgery, it doesn't cover anything and you have to pay for it yourself. case we have insurance with the company contained against evil and it goes on airways it is a law on private these are shark jaws black tips art they are the most famous sharks in the maldives and they are like black tips but this can be bought if this suits you You can take here, they are real shark teeth.

We can't ask Jocelyn de Georges to know where Manchester tastes. 300 and 350 dollars. There is also the shark tooth. it happens to all dyn that would be ignacio and livelihood and some euros this tells us that it is from years ago when there were no telephones or anything they used here a cut is made in the end of the shell here it blows more like this and made a quite big noise and curious, I could call all the people on the island to gather them in case of emergency or whatever and how much does this shell in particular cost in Frankfurt and yes 146 platinum dollars residents in this organization is like the moral of Madrid I would say for the Maldives I understand that this It's not very common, not here, not bad, this is the only pool of all things, bad that the bathroom rules are the same, sanz and a Spanish bikini for foreigners or anything, you can't wear a bikini and when you bring a girlfriend from Spain, what does it mean? little good here when we enter the house we take off all the flip flops always that Spanish flag exposing the floor of course very good how many meters is the floor I think we have 153 rooms three bathrooms this is my room with the bed well made the company but there are two one thousand two thousand 700 dollars about 2400 euros and the company pays the bills we all pay the electricity the water everything how they take care of the pilots what a bargain you have found here in the Maldives Ignacio I can't complain this is the national football stadium of maldives and it's in the middle of mal is fairIt is quite small, as you can see, the ground floor of the stadium is all full of shops and the capacity is nothing but about 15,000 spectators.

I never managed to qualify for anything. Until the future, it is the national sport, but no, the teams are not very good for anything good. This is the typical supermarket, the first one that comes I really like it but when I saw the prices I didn't like it so much. The truth is that it's cheap. If the tomatoes, apart from being small, 160 rupees are also like ten euros per kilo, which is amazing. Another thing that Maldivians buy a lot is the judge is without alcohol because here there is no alcohol in this country of course for the part of the resorts of course and perhaps less than Madrid Ignacio especially the mountains the mountains of Madrid a little green a little relief the peak more art maldives are like a meter 80 i am a higher critic of maldives it is a bit boring the mountains are so beachy and well nothing to ignacio i leave you here in this chaos of this chaotic city would you put madrid one day not soon but one day I will return greetings to my family to my friends to the Paraguayans and see you in mother soon after 20 years working in Madrid and coming I wanted to live in front of the sea what I never imagined was that I would end up in the Maldives irene viral that Maybe from Madrid and what does a Madrid native do in the Maldives and how long have you been here?

Let's get to know you Hello, your partner, yes, he's my partner and tell me how this came about coming here to work in the Maldives. Well, yes, I think, Yes, I think this describes it all. You can't use it all year round the temperature is good all year round you are this little mermaid Irene and in Madrid what did you do Irene well in Madrid I spent 12 years directing a development cooperation energy as a great volunteer and then on the other hand I worked for 20 years in a social economy company, but you studied agricultural engineering where at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, something that was related to your studies without being clear how being an instructor came about because because I really wanted to go live in front of the sea, then there came a time when I spoke with the company and said that I was leaving Madrid that I was going to live in front of the sea on the island, here I am and this is the boat that you use to make the investments.

I understand if this is the gift and it is a boat, the name is Maldivian. and it is a boat that is used to go diving how old is it if it is 41 41 ways and you came only the most day of life well that you left her a partner in madrid no and here she is found a partner and where on the boat like on the boat working with me also from her diving there thinking about cross a greg more you work here except work and I live here you live here I also know if I say things that you have been sailing the seas of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean for two years hello those are from my colleagues yes well it was mohamed and hello and you know that I am captain of the boat we have a group of Spaniards on board and we are going to try to look for the whale shark it is one of the great attractions of the Maldives well let's see if I bring you luck yes Madrid is not in luck yes The other last one is always good because they are more lively, they were not big and Bangladesh and because they had Spanish and it is good because here we usually have many groups of Spaniards and they learn very quickly in what fanclub looks we have from Madrid people around the world who have come to make us A visit, how about Spanish guys, not all of them, and from Madrid there will be someone from where from Valdebebas and who else knows, I'm neighbors in Bolivia, there will be all the people in the area waiting and we're the last ones, but hey, let's go diving, don't miss a single moment. minute come for the shark tomorrow and the

madrile

ño from valdebebas why do you work in madrid computer science you have the maldives how is the trip going down the street you know the whale shark is not touched it is worth remembering is to have the chapel of this the mucus that If we touch it, we take it away and bacteria can get into it.

We have gone up to look for the whale shark. The surface of the whale shark, for me, is the most special of all. It has a huge mouth when it wants to eat. It has a mouth that seems to fit inside you without However, then what it is is a filtered fish and then people call it guava can but they are super calm and let's not be aggressive, the girl is the same as if this one said carefully and why do we have to miss how he opens his mouth and this is the fish largest in the world and here we have caught it eating and it is also going against the current 3 I don't know if you see the droplets I don't know if you can see the droplets it is not the plankton that was getting inside it swallows us and then filters and the product comes out the gills then the illicit angles of water it does not have teeth no no they do not want to think about the transverse of the picadors the next one is impressive the now is wonderful it is the largest fish in the world it can measure up to 18 meters because it is barbaric and it is peaceful I do not understand that it is completely harmless if it is harmless and they always go alone if here we believe the truth that very little is known about the whale shark that in an area in doing and then they move and live alone their entire life not until they They mate logically and live alone and here what they do is get close to capturing the solar heat because they live more than 200 meters deep in a lemon, ready for divers, they don't even flinch like these ones on the beach.

How about this? Has this always seemed better to you? world why already at the moment of leaving I was seeing at that moment among all these boats and when I arrived at the boat I had received medals as it has been amazing once the first in fact my first diving trip lucky to enjoy well here it is It's your house and if it's actually in my house, let's talk quietly, okay, people are resting because we've improved, so they're resting a little bit, of course, reducing is also tiring, so we're going to give them defense, they're at home, that's not why we're so happy. vacation and it's about making them as comfortable as possible and the tranquility sleeping all the services and as although on a boat for two years I'm actually on the boat for ten months and for two months I'm on vacation, it took you getting used to it, no, the truth is that it's not here because in the end how are you all day moving diving and doing things well it's very active not in the cup normally the staff is there not us the days we eat at this table here it's a little well well where we go out to rest we are sailing well we must walk now same as we are sailing we are looking for the next diving spot that you are clear about then also where we fish is here normally we take out big tunisia first also a lot less and then they eat here said and of course we only eat then you try it down here to the cabins which are the rooms and how many the boat has for clients we have ten almost all of them are the same here there is no one here I don't hope it's not worth it then for example it is a double room it has a double bed in case a couple comes who wants to sleep together or separate beds just in case what comes are friends if they don't want to sleep together not all of them have a bathroom if it is to secure our city just in case with their shower their washing and a good service now they show you the cabin but it is a little messy you think it is a very small space where two of us live, so well, we have a little bit of things, if we have the refrigerator with Spanish things, as we can see, you have ham, yes, of course, this is from Spain and Madrid, and here olive oil, as a good Madrid resident, the product from Spain could not be missing. all these paintings this one this room has nothing very few I think he is 77 or something like that even this boy did not witness clearly that kate winslet and leonardo dicaprio but moreno and here a diving instructor in the maldives anna the same as in spain or less approximately You earn the same, what happens is that we also have accommodation and food included, so in the end it gives you more savings than in Spain.

This is the captain's cabin. Hello morning, and look how I'm focused. Then, the whole city of Boss, what it is is. very shy well he is very shy we bother him more there always has to be a person who awakens symptoms and always always to finish he shows me at the top we have a pool and I take the opportunity to introduce you to the person for whom I am here who is judith de la rosa who as it is the boat is yours judith yes how long have you been in the maldives now 16 years 16 years living the islands the best decision I have made in my life 16 years for the love of the sea passion is what has brought me here and in addition to the benches, the sharks that I live with every day and here you are in love, don't waver, it's Andrés, I met the person who is with you now and you have Hassan, he's Maldivian, it's no more jolín, it's a pleasure to meet you, Irene is doing the route through The boat looks and here we have already caught Mohamed so here I am going to introduce your boy to you but I form dips and the small motivated them I say if he is a diving guide and he is also a member of the health boat in cross or you serve as a diving guide diving here with you on the boat yes yes yes here we met and how love came about well nothing working together love at first sight or not well more or less we tried for a little month or so but well it's very embarrassing it's a little difficult for him to talk in front of the camera so they are going to thank you with this map I know very well what the Maldives is, it measures from north to south which is all 860 km and has 1,200 islands divided into 26 atolls the atolls are these parts here each of these is worth it and that It is an acronym, in reality it is the part of the crater of a volcano, let's say it is like the crown of the crater of a volcano.

They are sunken volcanoes that little by little the coral accumulates and that coral that accumulates you raise litas and that is why it has the shape of the volcano this is the north mahle atoll and everything inside is islands and every little green thing that you see here are islands and that's why they are windows of course that's why there are twelve hundred they are very small but they are twelve hundred they are a lot well guys remember that we are at a blanket station and we have come to look for blankets to see if we can see them, good people, Irene and this piece of shit that is falling on us, well, we need there to be coconuts on the islands too, no, so I think I have a little bit, isn't it? bad and less so when we are diving but I see much more and look we have caught them super close these are mantas they are reef mantas and they can measure up to 6 meters in span they are being cleaned it is a cleaning station they come to remove the parasites who Well, they are small fish called wrasses, so they are in the areas where there is coral, in some areas of coral, and they come, they approach and clean themselves, and that's why they are making passes, it is more or less difficult, but that is not why they are small, they usually always go. grouped together the plants are your super favorite, if they are very close we will live the gills perfectly and those fines and those droplets are the fingerprints of each of the mantas and they are totally different in each of them because you can see so many spots in the maldives Because the Maldives is the country with the largest population of manta rays in the world, there are nearly 4,000 of them that eat, they feed on plankton like the whale shark, how about Irene, incredible moody's, what do you like the most and the hardest thing about living on a boat, tell me what What I like the most is being in the middle of the ocean all day that is the most wonderful thing that you always see water everywhere.

The hardest thing is sometimes maybe not being able to walk normally, not going out for a run like I did when I lived in Madrid where I used to run. the west park and ends at the health fountain drinking water from the health fountain well olivia we have come to visit a local island and well let's all go there you can see that all the women are covered there is no bikini beach as they call And neither is any alcohol sold nor is it good to consume alcohol if it is totally prohibited in the Muslim world, so we also have to cover everyone and out of respect we are in their country and well we have to respect their culture logically we come as guests this call to the I pray in itself he is calling here I see a group of women all with their icap his name is not called directly but he laughs how many people live on this island irene on this island between 500 and 600 people it is a big island libya this is sinking it is house and a scout is an accommodation on a local island that is much cheaper than a resort.

They have only existed since 2009. Previously, new accommodation could be built on the local islands. Accommodation was not allowed until you could only come with a closed package, of course if you came there was no resort there would be no freedom to go to the local islands and then of course really in the end you if you go to a resort apart from the luxury you have you do not know the local culture and you are not really with the Maldivians here you have a chance to have an accommodation economical and it doesn't look bad it's not going very well for us because although here I leave you this afternoon to say wonderful about the Maldives with his two Maldivian friends you will return to Madrid for the moment no no no phenomenal thank you very much bye memory for Madrid Gerardo well an offer of I work in social networks and he literally thought it was a joke but the ideal job for him does not exist and he is here in the Maldives, Gerardo is from Madrid where he hit Almonte and there is one here in the Maldives, well, I found an offer I work to direct the marine research and observation center in this luxury and good resort, the flag bearer requested and after a couple of months he looked at me to work in paradise well yes the truth is that yes and this is your office all this I'm good If this is the front part to the part in front of my office it is impressive the truth is that you studied marine sciences where it says half in the palms and the other half in vigo this is a buggy is whatwe use to move around here to take guests to their rooms they made it clear to me how viable it is how old are you Gerardo 39 and how long have you been here well I have been here for almost a year and you came alone or accompanied I did not come well that is the main thing and here you have found something good nothing serious let's say dare let's say that there is something but it's not official because one can't be here alone for so long and you before mali what were you doing gerardo well well I was living until I was 18 in madrid and since I can't find anything related to my career In Madrid, well, I decided to go outside Australia first and then I have been living in places like Panama in Venezuela, it is always related to the environment and the marine theme, but well, a little bit of the entire resort occupies the entire island.

This island is more or less 800 meters long. long and about 80 wide I know it's about a square kilometer hello it's so good and they just got married there hello hello cristals and why do you speak Spanish I learned from school you said this destination is the most famous place to come for your honeymoon Honey, how many days are you going to stay? You are paying 800 dollars a night, Williamson at my feet and fire, the element boy, so wonderful, Gerardo, this is what this is, this is the area of ​​the water, I saw the aquatic waves that they call it, and well, that's exactly what you see.

In the travel magazines there are the most South Korean hello travel agencies and today there are clients jogging with what water, please, this is incredible, crystalline turquoise, the Maldives, it really is a paradise on earth, I asked because it has such a wonderful turquoise color. sand here is 100% formed by corporals this is like this this is crushed coral this is really created by some fish loves parrot fish that feed on the soft part of the coral which is the polyp when you go to a little while I'm snorkeling and you see the parrot fish defecating, you see that it never casts a cloud like that in the rest of the coralline water, saying that the white sand is the axes of half of the sand that you see here, it is formed by the poop of the parrot fish, which is something very curious, it is raining A little here, of course, it also rains, the truth is that even in paradise sometimes the weather is a little bad, especially now that we are experiencing the change of monsoon, but it is hot, but here it is always hot here, the temperature never drops below 27 28. degrees all year round all year long and what temperature can the water be, well here it is usually around 26 27 28 degrees more or less that waiting for two is a line these are quite a few look it is getting buried these are quite a few here along the shore what What happens is that you have to be careful because there is a sting in the tail and they can hurt you and then it is very painful well now I am going to show you one of the most exclusive and most amazing houses that we have here in the resort this is called water vilar but Of the two types that there are, this is the largest, more or less in high season it can be costing about eight thousand dollars a night it happens yes this is amazing such a beautiful thing how many meters does this one have a gallon 100 or 120 is that the decoration comes on it seems a dream house if what you are looking for here is for people to be comfortable there are people who come and are here two weeks three weeks two weeks three weeks at eight thousand euros a night yes yes yes there are people who can go and be here Well, I don't know, one hundred thousand two hundred thousand dollars for a stay, well here, I'll show you the presidential suite, the suite, but the suite, Luisa's main room, I don't want to try it, come on, well, I'll stay here for a comfortable half hour, no, and on top of that, with a view. unbeatable that you don't notice that I have made the leap in you and well now I am going to show you the most spectacular thing that this house has which is this terrace with these views of the sea and the reef this is almost like having a private beach because it is practically that It's a long time coming, I'm telling you, I imagine that famous people have stayed here.

Yes, of course, tell me a name and I would like to, but they have forbidden it, but hey, if it makes you cynical that footballers, actors, singers, designers, very famous people, have come, I mean. We are talking about the level of Penelope Cruz - Cristiano Ronaldo we are talking about that level and you have seen them with your eyes. I have seen a couple of them and who has taken photos. It is totally prohibited. In fact, even flying a drone is prohibited. Here there is like a policy. For the drones here there have been cases of paparazzi with a boat on the other side of the reef flying a throne with a camera with a lens just to take some photos of the famous person on duty of course so they are very careful with that and this here is like the solarium or the chila or it depends on the time of day how it is this is like a kind of mesh so that people can lie down there come and take advantage gerardo this is how this cabin is designed for how many people it is designed for well well these are for families like that more or less numerous because it has two large rooms and apart from that it has like this separate module that would be like for the service of course people who come with their service staff who also stay here not with one but with two or three nannies to take care of the children Yes hello to whom he is my security partner herat this is a luxury jewelry we can start your yes of course Jayo that this brand is white it has 39 types challenges different colorations and wonder 2 thousand 900 dollars it is said that it is something that is not worth a lot of people buy more expensive things it's like a free octopus amethyst the red ones are rubies 11 thousand 500 dollars that the Russians like pieces like that shots and diamonds are the best diamonds that exist in the world 25 thousand dollars more remedy in the world that It's a huge bat that's scratching itself.

Yes, that's there. They're sneaky bats. They're bats. They see me at least 60 centimeters long and they feed on fruits. You know, like 20 times a bat, like meters that we have in Spain. The tree is infested and they're all asleep. Of course, in fact, they are nocturnal, the blind, almost all of them, are hanging all day long when it is very hot on the branches of the trees and then when night falls they become active and begin to look for fruit out there. Of course, there are species that are very exotic in total and unique to the archipelago, if you look at when they move the wings, the circle is a little long, it's a little hot, good, and this is the work site, which is the marine conservation center, and we do have turtles of different species and various sizes.

Let's see that these turtles are actually the smallest species of all sea turtles, but they are the largest that we have here in the center because they do not have front fins. Well, because this turtle was found tangled in a fishing net and then when It came to us here that its fins were very, very bad and we had to amputate them. Apart from the stress that they get when they are trapped, they accumulate a lot of gas inside and then they are turtles that then cannot submerge. If I touch this turtle in my mind, it is a little bit inside.

It comes out like a buoy, that is, it floats because of the stress, gas is generated and sometimes it is very difficult to release it. We rescue it. Well, these turtles are found by fishing boats or diving boats. Sometimes they appear floating on the beaches. We are sending these turtles. Zoos in Europe become ambassadors of their species for the issue of marine pollution and since human beings are alive to what happens when people throw plastic or discard nets in the sea, well, this is the result, this is a turtle. carey one of the most emblematic of the maldives like mariah carey like mariah carey they hatch these little ones after just 18 months because it is here it is when the nest hatched it was very very weak so we preferred to stay here and keep it until it reached a certain size because If the release is very weak, many times they end up being food for the fish.

These were also very weak inside the nest and the ones that brought them here to us are a green turtle. This is how long it is and they see nothing like a week. a week and a half a little more if they are very small, well after this one reaches a weight of 350 kilos you know this way height the best it takes 40 or 50 years to reach that size is a cutie but these turtles do grow a lot since I started working with them And in the year 2000, when I went to volunteer in Cape Verde, I fell completely in love with the Tortuguero turtles.

Greet people from Madrid around the world. They don't know that he is leaving the program. Say hello to Simón. He has given him his name. So it is a particular case. It is a turtle that He was born here but he was born with a very large unit. His sisters are double or triple the size. He is already growing very slowly. You look at them on this side. He has no eyes and his mouth is completely crooked. In other words, he was born with this form of units. Oh, oh. Poor thing, what turtles eat is fish, shrimp, squid, jellyfish and sometimes lobster.

They don't eat bad ones, they eat very well and they bite the turtles. These turtles can take off a couple of your fingers, but in one bite they have a very strong bite and if you win more here in Maldives in this position than the Canary Islands in Spain, well yes, like double or almost triple in another of the projects that we have here at the marine research and conservation center is the development of here we call coral frames or coral structures and we use it to propagate coral reefs we take live fragments of coral from the reefs it is a matter of a month the fragment naturally adheres to the structure and from there it begins to grow as if it were a plant but why do you do this exactly last year there was a effect, that is, due to the effect of the child, what is called oblique zinc bleaching of the coral occurred, which is when the corals die because they cannot withstand such high temperatures, then 70 percent of the corals in the Maldives disappeared, imagine the main attraction of The islands are corals, at least for the people who come to dive, because Saturn has gone, you dive now in any reef in the Maldives, almost everything is dead and the fact that a metal structure gets involved is one, it's rust or actually bad.

Because this iron will rust over time and iron is a nutrient in the frame which rather benefits what there is not in the Maldives, of course, they are mountains, this country is very flat, it is considered the flattest country in the world. In the world, the maximum height is 2.5 meters above sea level and the average is more or less one meter and a half. With climate change, the rise in sea level is estimated that perhaps in 100 years the Maldivian islands will disappear. skip yes because the erosive power of the sea is already going to cause many places to be left without beaches, which is the main tourist attraction for lake extraction, if all greenhouse gas emissions are not reversed and climate change, well, no, it will not be stopped. a little because this is inevitably destined to end up under the sea efe then these million-dollar investments that the resorts are making are going to be of no use or a danger if they think the ri just have to keep in mind that the useful life of their properties is going It is going to be very small and this little boat that you see here is where we are going to get on to go to the spam that they lend to another island if it is on another island that is why we need a boat to get there, it is called don and it is like the traditional boat of maldives how nice it is to be made a tiny version just to be the transport boat to the conditioned space right here sierra if the heat doesn't pass its turquoise turquoise knows if perfect color the colors you see here in the sea you don't see them in Nowhere else is all the shades of blue that are waiting for us.

It is a massage that you are going to do with us for the first time with people from Madrid around the world. Likewise, she is one of the therapists here at the resort. What massage is Gerardo giving you? They call this massage the basel which would be the translation would be like lava shell or hot shell they are hot if you sit at a fairly high temperature if they are real and as if the gerardo effect the truth is that it is very very pleasant it is very relaxing Yes, I don't know and I see that you are looking towards the sea.

Yes, there are some windows on the ground where you can see the corals and the fish passing underneath. Well, Gerardo, I'll leave you here for a little while, but we have to continue with the report. Ok, yes, give me about 15 minutes. and I will meet you now we are going to go to the island opposite which is a local island where only local people live and it is next to the if it continues it is next to it there is also the only beach that we can use here the staff since we are not allowed to use the guest beaches also the hotel worker does not take any time in front of the sharks like sharks where they are small black tip sharks but baby of course yes and it is normal that there are sharks around here yes it is very normal that this is an area of shark breeding if they are only 34 weeks old they have been here almost only when they are small they spend it here then when they grow a little more they go to more open waters but there are a lot now but there were still 20 here is one that comes directly Look, they look for nothing, crustaceans, little fish, they are also scavengers, they eat any dead thing that is disturbed.

As you will see, the contrast between the resort island and this one, which is a local island, is huge and they are from here, obviously, it's a hello, but This is a Muslim country, yes, here the issue of rules changes from the resort to this, but from night to day, this is the school, the kindergarten, we would do nothing because we don't see children at school because today is Friday. Friday and it is as if it were Sunday for us in Spain and education in the Maldives is free with first and secondary education, which is already light university educationpublic and private with any other place and they all work in the risk of work guarantees the traffic of people from the resort and the island continued all day I love the style they have Gerardo is a total Rastafari very common among the most alive to let their hair long even Some are made dreadlocks and look at this house that we see here is made the pairs are made with coral these corals and if before it was the construction material par excellence than in the Maldives because there is nothing clearer and better now we are starting to use cement and bricks but this is before how they built here all the houses were made like this and today they continue to build it make up someone today it is prohibited because it is a very harmful practice for the environment how many people live on this island like 500 people are not one thousand five hundred Salamanca there is no ceviche chispi that English does not speak English I love how she is dressed doctor although youtube maybe her daughter and they will be her granddaughters verbal grandmother more nuanced the complications can you show us your house let's see what a typical house is like maldives here they live with her grandfather her parents were not at home she lives with her parents and with her tasty and this is typical gerardo and maldives here many family members live in the same house because there is not much land and so the houses like that are shared to pass apart they pass from generation to generation, so this house probably ends up belonging to this girl, surely because the kitchen, yes, the kitchen is separated from the house for hygiene reasons, fans in all the rooms, I imagine.

Yes, Gerardo, it's very hot, these houses don't have air conditioning, of course, until the fan is mandatory, mandatory, daily mothers around the world, Bankinter rhymes, and I understand that it's a cafeteria, not Gerardo, and it's clear, it's their Sunday, that's why they're here, how much does a coffee cost here in the Maldives? Well here in this particular video two dollars 2 what is the unemployment rate here in Maldives Gerardo I have understood that it is quite low like less than 10% this is the main street of the town this is where many of the shops are the hairdresser the hairdresser and How much does it cost to get a haircut, a dollar and a half if they give me one better than anywhere else, better than in Madrid, even with Cristiano Ronaldo's dress, mainly on this street there are souvenir shops since this island is in the most atoll close to the capital and the atoll that has the most resorts so there are a lot of tourists Fatima Goerges who has her store here the stores have to leave the shoes but also in fact there are three rugs for central nodes in no foot area please what detail that there is a little bit of everything there crafts made with wood with shells with coconut there are conch shells there are dresses there is everything you can imagine in terms of souvenirs but things made here made in maldives and yes there are many from sant and it is here maldives and it is also very Typical, these trays that they make with leftovers from with backrests with pieces of fisting shell for 15 dollars are wonderful and those benches, those are the typical seats here in the Maldives, that is the modern version that is made of metal but before they were made of wood and with ropes fishing that field says that it is comfortable, they sit there people fall asleep and everything is very comfortable and this is the pendant the truth is that it is super comfortable a little bit of getting into this how long can it take here or can it take you here for like a few years look how the rope is but it's super comfortable and here it's a nap I had a lot of maldives sleeping like this under the tree here sitting and this is the local beach I don't know where the local people come to bathe and what I am seeing women bathing with clothes here, they bathe fully clothed and here the bikini is prohibited for local women and look, it is the one who is happy and they were even leaving with scarves and yet here they do not take off the scarf It is not at all a very big cultural shock, little by little they have been getting used to it but until a few years ago tourism barely set foot on the local islands because for them it has been very good, it is very different because tourism here in the Maldives when it started the first resort began They opened in the 70s about 72 or so it was really discovered 40 years ago you are not hot it is very hot clouds and if she bathes she bathes she does completely investigate men can marry up to four women as long as they prove that They have a certain purchasing power, I think it's like 800 dollars per woman, they have to show that they have 800 dollars to cover the needs of a serious woman, and besides, it's very easy for them to get divorced just by saying to the doctor, I'm separating from you three times, I think.

The marriage is now annulled until it is super simple, so you can imagine the divorce rate in the Maldives. There is a lot of divorce here. I think eight out of every ten marriages end in a real divorce and also in many marriages of interest, there is a lot. age difference between the sea and the woman, then all of that leads to the number of divorces, meaning that here women for love understand that they cannot get married, well, they can get married, but they would have to prove it in court, that is, if the family is opposes that marriage they would have to prove before a court that they are really in love with a person to be able to get married enough that part of finding the hotel reception and if we enter through this door we go to the workers' accommodation area which is where I have a room since 2004 when the tsunami happened, now there are very strict measures for people to evacuate the islands.

From then on, all the resorts have regulations regarding the issue of tsunami warning and the vocation of how the tsunami affected 2004 to madiba because many islands that were devastated in particular is 80 percent the resort was destroyed and was closed for two years what they had to completely build repository and says and how many people died here in Mechelen there is talk of 100 more deaths or less but the figures are also a bit too clear but if there were quite a few deaths this is where I say seeing here and you share with someone not with being a manager I am lucky to have my own room there is the bargain we the bases is the good thing to work here, everything is free and there is a guitar suite and that well, I play the guitar in my free time wherever the roads cross where the sea cannot always be conceived the fugitive, let's say I'm talking about beautiful Madrid, Gerardo, thank you very much and now We are going to do one of the star activities of the resort and we have to get on this boat.

We are going to get on here. Efe is reminding me and here in the Maldives there are several species of cetaceans, this in particular is the acrobatic dolphin, which is called ospina delfin and is the more common there are many different families around the island of cubagua incredible with the hat yes yes yes they have that way of relating to each other of communicating wow how beautiful they start to liven up there are a lot there are times we see 100 or 200 yes yes this It's like a whole family, so this is a family and a beautiful group has about 30 or 40 or so, normally they are so big and that's because well, they don't have that behavior, the cetaceans liked to be in large groups and what do the dolphins feed on? fish and squid above all how beautiful look at this team in detail we are surrounded by hello hello well here I leave you before dolphins and this beautiful Maldives sunset Gerardo you will come back from vacation so continue enjoying
