I was fortunate to live in Galicia for 3 years as a young man. I cried my eyes out watching this. Being a celt from Cornwall I genuinely felt the love. Often being called brother or neighbour. The best people, the best food. I'm going back for good, when I retire. =GALIZA CALIDADE=
I lived there too and I feel quite sentimental watching this.
Great plan for your retirement ! ❤️
I'm sick of the Costa del sol it gets worse and worse. I live in the Cadiz province, green and lovely. Soon to be destroyed by greedy pigs smothering us with solar parks. I am thinking to go to Gallicia.
@@deborahgonzalezknight168 very wet and cold in the in the winter, but very beautiful, you won’t be disappointed.
@@deborahgonzalezknight168 Do it Deborah. Things in Andalucia are going to get worse. La Junta blindly throws money at Sevilla y Malaga, whilst the other provinces are left in disrepair. I find there isn't the political corruption at a local level in Galicia, like in Andalucia. The amenities and standard of living is way ahead.
As an Indian, I don't know how much I love this country. I'm obsessed with Spain , their culture, their traditions. Amazing food and people.❤❤
Maybe in future I'm visiting this beautiful land and feel it ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful, amazing tv presenter. Genuine and direct. No fake. Truthfull.
I love Spain. It's such a beautiful country ❤️
I love Galicia.
@@placidobaamonde6374 You dont know Spain Spain is beautiful
Try Italy !!!
I am from Galicia. And i miss my celtic land but I am visit every year to see my family. And always enjoy food, the clean air ,the forest and rivers, beaches and lovely towns..Galicia is unique.
Many Celts from Galacia went to Wales and Brittany
I grew up in America, a descendant of Gallegos. A few years ago I tested my DNA which showed that it comes from northern Spain and Ireland. Knowing that I am also a descendant of the celts gives me a wonderful sense of identity. I have also become a Spanish citizen by descent and will be moving to Spain permanently soon.
Having lived in Spain now for 20 years I have a great feeling of love.So rich in its cultures and history.I have yet to visit Galicia and feel propelled to do so very soon after this wonderful film. Thank you.
Lived there two years. First child born there. It's an amazing unknown part of Spain.
Being from Santiago myself, I loved the delicate, respectful and charming way to describe my city and Galicia.
A lovely country to explore. I’ve been there 6 times and haven’t even scratched the surface.
I just love how she just spoke Italian with the spanish priest
latins xd
In her comments at times she said "la Costa del Morte instead of "la Costa de la Muerte" in Spanish
@@yxnone9771 To be fair, in Galician, it is called "A Costa da Morte" so I can understand the mixup :)
We understand each other :) Spanish and Italian are very close languages. Latin Brotherhood!
@paseante sin rumbo fijo jajajajajajaaj que bueno! Menuda cosa más burra acabas de decir
You can't trick a galician woman's "retranca" (retranca is like a dry irony) 😆
Octopus is too intelligent a creature to deserve being eaten
TRACKS, una pena que en la filmación de Santiago no mostraras la gloria de la fachada de la catedral en la Plaza del Obradoiro. Una de las más hermosas del mundo. Gracias de todas formas por mostrar algo de mi pequeño y hermosos país: Galicia.
This is a great channel. You are an amazing host. Just enough history to captivate the mind, and enough heart to invest us in wanting to experience the areas and her people ourselves. I had planned to go to Northern Spain the year that Covid hit the planet. One day soon I hope. Thanks for sharing.
Un canto a Galicia hey, minha terra nai. Teno morrina! Teno saudade!
Never tire of watching Alex - she is totally amazing and authentic. Viva Espagna!
Great program ! The host was so charming - genuinely enjoying the people she met along the way.
Percebes are vastly overrated. Leave the poor things alone on their rocks. If you want something really lush, try navalhas or razor clams. Steamed with a little melted butter for dipping...yum. Deep umami flavour.
Love all your episodes. Especially love your clothing. Such great fashions!
Ahh.. Galicia! It is a magical place. Truly the best region in Spain for me (outside of the weather). Seeing this video made me miss life there so so badly! She isn't wrong about the experience of seeing the Botafumeiro in action. I have attended mass there many times and the apprehension of seeing such a haevy object wing above your head especially if you're sitting/standing in the transept never disappeared for me.
Is that botafumerio performed every day or only on Sundays or certain days?
@@juli8vdberg562 it is only ever sure on certain holy days but it actually is used more often than that as it can be requested by pilgrims. So during the height of the pilgrimage season, there's a good chance you'll see it in action.
@@pul0y thank you so much for the useful information
What a sublime finale to a remarkable series on Spain. I am now officially obsessed with Spain!
The ending was sublime, thank you for this posting. I'm not Catholic but I was brought to tears empathizing with the sense of accomplishment of the Pilgrims. I had the good fortune to live in Spain for several years at the end of the Franco regime and I am glad you highlighted one of the Paradores Nacionales, IloveAlex.
Brexiteer who compared EU to ‘badly-run hotel’ struggles to find hotel staff. Oh the irony!
Thank you for this wonderful video. I am of Spanish ancestry, primarily Galician from Lugo. I wish more would have been discussed including O’bregaoin and the ancient Lugo walls.
Damn, I'm from Colombia.....These are my ancestor's.....No WONDER!!!....
40:12 Anthony Hopkins as a spaniard priest lol
OMG, Percebes looked delicious... I couldn't helped to shed a tear for these helpless souls. I was so taken by the pilgrimage and the deep understanding of "finding what one was looking for" I must do this.
Amazing! Can't thank you enough! Fabulous! :) Greetings from Kochi
Hi :) Loved the video. Galicia is extraordinary, lived there, inland near Lugo. Costa da Morte means "the death coast"- not "coast of the dead". ;)
Glorious Oh Glorious series! I love Spain even more.Thank you.
Fear is the lie you tell yourself
I have always said, Spain is more northern than southern, the southern part of Spain is just not to Spain to me, even the people are different in customs, I definitely prefer the North, especially Galicia and Asturias and Castilla.
Interesting....
If you do not consider the south as part of Spain, I am afraid you have not understood anything
GALLAECIA, Septimania, Hispania

Galicia Calidade!💙
Galicia. Home of my ancestors.
I’m so happy to find this series,I’m a fan of Alex from her hotel inspector show . 💐

Thank you for the lovely and compelling documentary. Saludos a todas las familias q perdieron a sus seres queridos durante la guerra civil. Y un abrazo muy fuerte a toda Galicia y a toda España!
Having walked The Camino in 2018..the city is indeed beautiful and majestic. The quality of life is very good..I miss my time in Espana..now in Florida..RH
Another fantastic and enlightening journey. Enjoyed series very much. Thank you Alex xx
The "Botta Fumerro" with franckincense in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostella handled by those 8 monks to swing at a speed of 60 km/h is unique in the Christian World...the delight of all pilgrims arriving from the 800 Miles of "Camino"...
It is written "Botafumeiro". In Galician, it means something like "smoke caster" :)
@@unclerubo Yes, every Church have them, this is part of our Christian Tradition at every Holy Mass.
@@stefanpaul842 I know, I was raised as a Catholic even though I abandoned religion long ago :D
@@unclerubo Everyone follows this path when becomes adolescent takes science as more important than GOD...and when he gets old opens the spiritual eyes and returns ...
@@stefanpaul842 I have to respectfully disagree. I'm 37 now and religion stopped making any sense to me when I was 11.
Believe in whatever you think is right, though, as long as you're not hurting anyone :)
This episode really illustrates that we need more women hosting travel documentaries. I watch a lot of travel series, usually hosted by men, and they never seem to present dark parts of history and death with the respect and grace that Alex exhibited here.
why do we live in europe where there is so much not none to others from other european countries
it should be a place where we can live and move work and enjoy with traveling
with such video you see things what is unknown
thanks to have shown us such a beauty place and people spain even if they had a difficult past
Can't help but tear up every time I see Santiago De Compostela. Hiking across the North of Spain was life changing. Visited a number pilgrims friends I met on the Camino in their home countries last summer.
Love my place if you go to the rias baixas region the climate is warmer and milder also in winter more meditteranean than the north
This was SPECTACULAR! Thank you!
so wonderfully presented was hooked start to finish and as you said ended JUST IN THE RIGHT PLACE !
I've put worst things in my mouth 😂👄 we know what u mean 🤣🤣🤣
Spain and Italy have so much in common
Romanized
Only latin languge nothing else we are iberian
that almond cake must have been delicious
The priest reminds me of the actor who played Anibal in “ the Silence of the lambs”
Yes, I thought the same thing. He resembles Anthony Hopkins.
In Spain you notice history everywhere, not only in Galicia, and there is no country in the world the size of Spain that has such a variety of climate and landscapes. So galicia is not different, every comunity is different and for that Spain is something else. You have not known anything. And I remind the Galician man that there are dolmens in other parts of Spain in Antequera and is much bigger.
Galicia tiene idioma propio, algo que no teneis en otras comunidades de España, no sé parece un comentario lleno de envidia.
@@galaezia1 envía lo dudo he vivido en Galicia mucho tiempo quizás eres tú la que no has salido de allí. Lo que intentaba aclarar es que España es hermoso y diverso y por supuesto rectificar que el dolmen más grande está en Málaga. Sal un poco viaja no seas tan nacionalista.
@@CarmenRodriguez-ze2xg Porque he viajado mucho, y vivido en un país precioso llamado Inglaterra, aprecio al que considero que es mi país, Galicia. Y muy bien, tú quédate con el dolmen más grande que yo me quedo con que Galicia tiene su idioma propio. Todos los países del mundo tienen su belleza. Dar consejos, en plan de viaja más, puede considerarse un poco de prepotencia. Saludos.
@@galaezia1 prepotencia la tuya en creer que galicia es lo mejor, lo has dicho tú no yo. Y yo también he vivido en Inglaterra siete años y precisamente no es el pais más bonito...
@@CarmenRodriguez-ze2xg Relee mis comentarios y dime dónde yo escribí que Galicia es lo mejor, los gallegos solemos ser humildes. No hay ningún sitio mejor que otro. Para mi, Inglaterra es un país precioso, y al decir esto, hay que entender que es una apreciación subjetiva. Ya sabes lo que a uno le gusta puede ser que a otro no le guste.
Let's SEE , Franco is said to have killed 200 000 Spaniards in total ; many of those killed by his troops during the Civil War and after were anarchists and pro Stalinist communists , of the kind Orwell of ''1984'' fame, who was a socialist himself, who got wounded fighting Franco's forces during the Spanish Civil War , said that he had found his worst enemies to the left of him; commie hardliners who wanted to make Spain , into another Stalinist's Russia.
Russia , a nation which would have how many innocent people murdered by the orders of that same Stalin, and Lenin before him , and all that bunch of even worse fratricide band of robbers and grifters ...30 , 40 million murdered and put into gulags...?
By the way, Fidel Castro, another Galician , and great friends with Franco, and the dictator with the longest reign of terror in modern history KILLED, INPRISONED AND DISPLACED WAY MORE PEOPLE THAT FRANCO...but they would never say that about a communist...as if his victims bled differently and their families felt no sorrows...
Anyways, let's pray NONE of that ever happens again in Spain, nor anywhere else... Amen.
Well said!
Never went looking for this but algorithms worked their magic and brought us together.
I've developed a love of Flamenco music over the last few years and watch many brilliant Spanish musicians on here. I find the music fits my mood and emotions in these troubled times.
I am too a Celt and am familiar with the close pre historical connection between the Iberian Peninsula an the NW coast of Europe. A Bronze Age copper mine, only discovered in the 1980s, on the NW coast of Wales has relinquished the human remains of miners from the Iberian Peninsula from 3000/3500 years ago..
Also the headquarters of the Druid civilisation in Britain was on the island of Anglesey near to where this massive copper mine was located.
These people travelling up the West Coast of Europe brought metal working to the British Isles in terms of Copper, Tin, Silver, Gold and ofcourse Bronze.
I will watch the rest of your series as I absolutely loved this programme. You've really found your calling which is, what you've been looking for. Absolutely nailed it..
Alex is fantastic as always in describing the beautiful places she visits. Historically very good too.
Even though this helps the algorithm, I couldn't warch past the first 15 seconds just because of how she pronounced the names of the cities. No, not for me.
Well she's not and doesn't speak spanish so that's ok but they could've check the pronunciation before filming, editing, etc.
Bravo ..... ! Mercy to humanity Gypsy Trail
What is this life if full of care, that we don't have time to stand and stare......
Thanks for the way you introduce Spain to thd world.
Im from almost the other corner, from the Pirinees, Anso valley. But have travelled and lived all along Spain. From deserts to perpetual snow and glaziers, endless forests, steppes ....Its incedible how diverse and diferent it is just crossing one of the many mountain ranges here are.
im sure alex loves spain due to the good food like her background from sardegna
where food is part of life to pass happiness and enjoy
spain must have good food from tapas to seafood
thanks for having shown us this
I lived in Galicia as a kid. My idea of heaven. We lived in A Coruña. My paternal ancestors are all buried there. My favorite place on earth.
Love your programme always thanks for this awesome programme💜
Best wishes from London
It is a match that Alex ends her Spanish series in Santiago de Compostela, a town in where the month-long marathon ends.
City
I'm 3 days away from Santiago and I'm in ore of the whole experience ... Truly magical ...
Great documentary. Thanks
Walked The Camino is 2018..an interesting journey..
I walked in 2024 ...at 65 ,( age)
@@asturias8386 we are only in 2021 dude
Why the English say "Camino" like in Spanish? The same as "chorizo"?
We in Portuguese "translate" the names. So, "camino" becomes "caminho" and "chorizo" becomes "chouriço".
@@diogorodrigues747 I don't know, but in Spain we do something similar with English words, and take them as in English, without "translation". Some words would be parking, iceberg, sidecar (although we considerably change the pronunciation when spoken in Spanish)
I’m walking in two weeks for the first time ♥️
Absolutely beautiful country
OMG! 😲Now I know why my great grandparents fled Spain. They all fled to Dominican Republic. Maybe some of my long relative might be missing or thought to be missing. My family here is Fernandez from Sabana Iglesia, Dominican Republic. Contact me if any family member is looking for family. We have black and white pictures of them too. Please contact me.➕
I want to visit ! 💜💕❤️ So much beauty
In the name of balance news It would be great if you also reported the mass graves that the Republicans who opposed Franco left Spain 🇪🇸 full of blood 🩸
Alex you're an amazing host and person, I was brought to tears by your reaction to the man at the end of his camino journey - he found what he was looking for. Amazing and thank you.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed. 😊
I used to catch "percebos" - in Portuguese, when I was younger, good eating and never saw them here in US.
11:30 "All Fungi are edible. Some fungi are only edible once.”: Terry Pratchett
WOW!!
Who else didn't know about that horrific regime and genocide?
Who else were horrified that we are talking about 1975?
Propaganda from the left. Franco fought Communist from taking over the Country & he gave the Crown back to the Spanish Royal Family when he died. Spain did economically well during his reign comparing to many countries at the time.
@@SW-fi5pc George Washington killed his own people, name a leader of war who got to power who hasn’t? If you’re a leftist, then Stalin, Mao, Fidel, Che etc.

It is hard to figure out whether they are mass graves of war victims or atrocities or political abuses. It is just fair that relatives can demand unearthing the remains and access to the Estate's Archives so that every victim can be accounted for.
I totally agree, but you still need more information about the national reality of Spain.
The law that deals with the issue is a law promoted from the extreme left in such a way that it only recognizes the dead of one of the sides.
Practical example: In one of the towns where they found a mass grave, they prepared to remove the remains and when they realized that they were from the other side, they directly left everything as it was, the ground raised, etc... and left.
Many of these people under the pretense of locating relatives, the only thing they are looking for is revenge and economic aid linked to this type of action, so you have an army of unemployed archaeologists eager to collect money from the government and obviously all affiliated with parties or far-left associations.
Beautiful documentary... it made me long for more
Any (contact) details about the druid would be much appreciated.
Did you ever find him? I would like to know as well!
What a pleasure watching your travel and gathering information , thank you for sharing ❤
Percebes had been an expensive delicacy quite earlier than 38 years ago.
Great journey of adventure, truth, healing, and faith. 🙏
I found this episode strangely moving and inspirational.
spanish invasion left lots of history in sardegnia sure you must have seen that
u r a amazing person with your feet in your boots😊😊
we are all passing by in life your correct all stressed to capture part of ours lives what are not enough to capture all places....buildings stay for 100 years
very amazing you can show such beautiful places and people to us
thanks alex😊😊❤❤
amazing words from the local priest❤❤

Greetings to the "gallegos" from Colombia
Stunning and oh my is Santiago being quite an experience
There is nowhere in Spain that I love more than Galicia.
Ah, Galicia! ¡Me encanta!
Hello , could you translate everything to english pls via lecter ?
The certificate is ridiculous...
Thank you so doing and sharing such beautiful and informative video! Your voice is very soothing to listen to and you’re a beautiful woman! Thanks especially for pointing out the mass graves - important for younger generation to learn the atrocities of Franco’s fascism and evil regime.
yes as the republicans did not ejecute anybody , nor did they did mass graves, it was just franco. s side
don't forget the Genocide of the Republica,massacres and extermination.

What an annoying old boiler this woman is.
very amazing..well down alex..continue with lovely filming and discoveries of such lovely places ❤
Oh my God! Your translation is terrible...PERCEBES, COSTA DA MORTE please. And furthermore, you have to change a lot of words too. However, thank you very much for your video showing Galicia, My Home.
Galicia produces strong man and woman in Spain, since always. Straight and kind. With admirable truth in their words. Quallities that we need more and more. Sorry for my bad english. Cheers
Costa da Morte!
just wow
All that posing....anyway the fencing teacher did none...good man. Must go there.
I'm a 'big fan' of your other 'shows', so was delighted to find you here ... traveling in Spain. 🥰
