- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | We roam the region of Castile, starting in Toledo - so well-preserved and packed with cultural wonder that the entire city has been declared a national monument, on to Segovia for a festive day out with the locals, then to Ávila for a dose of medieval architecture, finishing with a traditional stroll in Salamanca's Plaza Mayor. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #spain

Cervantes made me fall in love with Toledo and Salamanca long before going there.
Visited Toledo September 2018. I want to return and spend a few days to fully experience it. What I liked is people live among the museums, the Cathedral and other points of interest. Students from the local grade and high schools pass through the streets with tourists. El Greco's paintings are amazing. I'd like to see each at least twice on my next visit. Rick's photographers are real pros.
We are wishing to receive tourists again in this beautiful part of inner Spain. You will love it ❤️🤗
Is Spain open for international tourists now ?
The dude when they didn't finish the wine was like bro....
And so was I
4 min in the camo get's 11 out of 10 for framing Rick in the the Moor arch perfectly. Well done!
Para empezar el mapa de Castilla es erróneo, Castilla ocupaba toda la Península menos la parte correspondiente a Navarra, y Aragón. Andalucía tambien era parte de la Corona de Castilla, al igual que Asturias (faltaría más), Galicia y Extremadura

Hombre, el mapa es erróneo, pero es que no está hablando de la Castilla de la Edad Media, sino de la de ahora. El fallo es que junta Castilla y León con Castilla la Mancha. Pero supongo que para un extranjero se pueden simplificar como "Castilla" y ya está.
el problema es que desde que Juana la Loca hereda Castilla y posteriormente Aragón, Castilla deja de ser Castilla para ser parte de España.
lourdes fernandez. Estas en lo cierto... alli estudie y vivi parte de mi juventud.en la madre patria. los mejores recuerdos en los tablados. gracias.
lourdes fernandez Creo que el del vídeo se refiere a la Castilla actual.
He's making fun of us folks stuck in one place & who go nowhere when he says "Keep on travelling" 😎
“As we were saying” awesome 👏 I
Just one thing: the cultural aspect of the moors happened only during the abasidas and the Cordoba Caliphate. After that, they were also invaded by almoravides and Almohads, which weren't tolerating people nor had much interest in mathematics, philosophy and so on
Umayyads we're pretty influential in Spain
Spain.....simply....Magnificent....visit if you haven't ! been to all of these gorgeous cities....!
Navy78 yes. i agree. me to. i studied dear...i missed Segovia..
Graciass
😏What beutifull things you said about my country😂
Ok
Spain is just like a Big Iberian Museum. Im sure there are bad and messy places in Spain but all of them are overshadowed by the beauty and Aesthetics Spain has to offer.
ilargitxo2 He means the typical bad neighbourhoods of big cities, I guess. Those exist everywhere in the world.
I can se you compare Spain with Spanish America after independence constructions. That’s building a wrong idea on you. Even knowing modern construction isn’t as beautiful as the historical buildings the general impresión you are going to find in modern Spain is of order and cleanliness everywhere.
Da igual donde estén, la música de fondo siempre la misma, da igual Galicia , Extremadura, ellos a lo que les interesa música flamenca y el panoli este olé olé, carga ya este tipo. En mi vida he dicho olé, y por lo visto todos los españoles nos comunicamos con un ole desde que nos levantamos hasta que nos acostamos, pero no se ha dado cuenta que el único que dice ole es él?
Es lamentable cómo se simplifica y ridiculiza la diversidad cultural de España
By far my favorite country to visit, particularly the region of Castile!
Big mistake, he say the islamic occupation was by tolerant and open people.
Totally untrue, the decapitations, lapidación and intolerance of other religious
was obvious since all people need to pay a religious s tax or suffer decapitations...
Dont know why people like to sugar coat islamic ruthless tirany and claim other e,pires were ruthless...
Is amazing historic manipulation.
I love Spain so much! I visited it more than 5 times and my next visit for sure will be Castille!!! So beautiful!
This video made me long for Spain even more!

Spain is just truly magnificent, awesome history and Rick Steve’s makes it truly compelling to visit
The way he describes el alcazar de Segovia, getting rid of it..........., I think only the roof burnt in the ninetieth century, and it was rebuilt as the original thanks to Dn. José Mª Avrial in 1844 and not in a romantic style as he says.
JOSE ELORRIETA I agree, but what it's even more ofensive it's that while he's saying " barely resembling its original aspect", you can see the tower of Juan II, that has survived the whole history of the castle.
That's how American butch other country's history.
@@ThePablobcn Is normal. Even Spaniards make mistakes about our own country, mainly by ignorance.
Salamanca NO ES CASTILLA. Es el Reino de León.
Salamanca IS NOT Castile, is the Lion's Kingdom!!!

Yes, true. A part of our past culture... but not very contemporary.
SALAMANCA ❤️❤️❤️
I can´t believe you did not show Salamanca's cathedrals. Inexplicable.
steves a God.. How can you question him? His life is made on this stuff
Agree
I understand what you mean. On the other hand, there's so much to see in both Toledo and Salamanca. When you have just under half an hour to cover both places, plus fitting in Segovia and Avila, it would be quite a challenge to include everything. It may be possible, but probably not without turning the whole episode into a speed run.
Salamanca is Leonese. It’s part of León Region, inside Castile and León. It’s a typical mistake for foreign people and most Spaniards too.
Please, respect our Leonese identity.
Whatever... You wish. Salamanca is Castilla! Don't let yourselves be fooled by those wanting to split the region
@@elenavs8703 Maybe, you don’ know really well our history, culture and traditions. You can say that, but it’ll never based in truthful facts. The current CyL is the union of two regions, and Salamanca is main part of Leonese Region.
Perhaps, the public education system of CyL never admit these facts, because of they’re not interested in telling the truth.
Good luck.

Ok good
I visited Segovia and Salamanca each on a day trip, this June 2017. Loved both cities, especially since my Spanish roots are from the part of Castilla y Leon between the two. Both cities are definitely worth the visit and easy to navigate by walking. For Segovia, I'd recommend starting at the Aqueduct and then walking to Alcazar, checking out a lot of the historical buildings, small churches, the main cathedrals (and of course the main one at Plaza Mayor), and of course the Casa Machado, between these two main sites....For Salamanca, its a surprisingly short walk from the train station to all the historical sites. Of course not only the two main cathedrals (Old and New) and the Universidad, but just walk around checking out sites such as the Archbishop's residence, the many smaller churches but each with very unique and distinctive features, the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea, the Guerra Civil museum, and traverse the river while looping more north into the city and across back towards the bus station (or however you arrive). But definitely check out many alleyways and back streets, which are full of their own unique treasures. There are also many excellent tapas places throughout the city. Check out ones frequented by the locals, as the food will be much better, more authentic and cheaper than those around Plaza Mayor or the University area that cater to tourists.
LEÓN, es la más bella.
Tell me about cervantes
@@warrenballangan123 I can because in 2017 I went to several places associated with Cervantes. His hometown Alcala de Henares, easily reached from Madrid by tren. It has his childhood home and the Church where he was baptized and christened. Then back to Madrid are several sites, especially in Barrio de las Letras. These include the building that contained the printer that first published Don Quixote. There's the Church where Cervantes willed to be buried, nearby to his final house. Elsewhere in Madrid, in a remarkable sincronicidad I came across the small building containing the writers school he attended when he first left Alcala. These are the places I personally went to associated with Cervantes but I'm sure there are others.
Toledo is famous for the knives and Don Quixote...Avila and Segovia were beautiful and medieval. Loved my 33rd anniversary there with the Queen. Thanks Steve!
Knives are from Albacete not Toledo and Don Quijote was inspired by Castilla la Mancha and also a differents villages, not only Toledo.
@@bambuseptember8711 quijote is from la Mancha. Castilla la Mancha is a modern mix: a part of castilla+la mancha. Toledo is not La Mancha. Im from la Mancha but I have lived 20 years in Toledo and in love.
I'd love spain very much., Specially in Castile. Bien
SALAMANCA ES LEÓN, NO CASTILLA
Completely ridiculous that "ole" at the beginning of the video, No Spanish would say that outside a bullring.

We’re just halfway through touring the Basque region and have stayed in Bilbao,Santiago del Mar, Zamora, Salamanca, Toledo and tomorrow we are going to Madrid followed by a 3 day stay in Segovia.

SALAMANCA . Pertenece a la región de LEÓN . León , cuna del parlamentarismo. ALFONSO l X de LEÓN , reúne a cortes , con tan sólo 16 años . Corría él año 1.188 . SALAMANCA , primera UNIVERSIDAD de ESPAÑA . Fue ALFONSO l X de LEÓN , en 1.218 .

I love your love of Spain . So much more than the beaches of the costas.
Castilla es preciosa. Conserva muy bien su pasado y en un lugar muy tranquilo que entona muy bien con el entorno natural. Ojalá siga siendo poco poblada porque así conservará mejor su arquitectura y su belleza natural.

Great video of Spain Rick Steve my complement to you for a Job Well Done!
Great guide. I will be visiting Madrid and the surrounding towns like Toledo and Segovia during this Christmas.
Nothing like Mexico. Wow.
México is in America. Spain is europe. This has nothing to do.
Por favor, no pongais flamenco cuando habléis de España, primero porque es un tópico, segundo porque el flamenco es oriundo de una parte de España llamada Andalucía, y tercero, porque algunas comunidades no nos sentimos identificadas con esa música, ya que no es culturalmente nuestro y nos es ajeno. Hablan de Castilla, y en vez de poner música de fondo medieval ponen flamenco para que los televidentes extranjeros se enteren que eso es España. Pues es mucho más que flamenco señores, investiguen un poco y verán que la cultura musical es mucho más que flamenco.
mira este¡¡¡ y mucho más que el jamón, y mucho más que los toros y mucho más que el olé. pero es lo que nos representa le guste a quién le guste y le pese a quién le pese. uno no viene a españa a escuchar música medieval. les gusta el flamenco, único en el mundo y patrimonio inmaterial de la humanidad. y yó como andaluza y española estoy muy orgullosa de que nos represente. y eso es lo que hay
I hope Rick makes one of these about Valencia someday, is one of the greatest cities of Spain and home of the Paella and the Fallas
Valencia is currently the third largest city in Spain, after Madrid, the first, and Barcelona, the second. Fourth is Seville, closely followed by Zaragoza, capital of the former Kingdom of Aragon and now capital of the Community of Aragon.
We don’t say olé all the time!....don’t even say it in a normal conversation. And please, you didn’t even mentioned Salamanca’s cathedral...seriously....

Very informative Steve. Im impressive with their old buildings
Hi Steve I love Europe I most watching your all shows I agree with you but I know it's was too old mosque mack by salahuddin inside 950s pillars its amazing
Are you reffer the Cordova's Mosque, perhaps?
Muchas gracias, Rick. El Greco!!
We visited just a part of Salamanca last July 2019,,Im very happy you shared most part of Salamanca n more places in Spain...thank you so much Steve u really knowledgeable of Europe.
Rick, I love your show, but Spain was a Christian Roman/Visigothic nation prior to the Muslim invasion, and it was hardly a peaceful co-existence between these people. Be-headings, sharia law, marginalization , rapes, and destruction of Christian Churches and property all in the name of Muhammad. The ruins and architecture you are espousing as proof of co-existance was left over by the Christian Reconquest. For it was the Christians, which preserved some of the architecture you're viewing. Not the other way around. This so called peaceful co-existence was a myth. I would like to invite you to read a scholarly work done on this subject matter by Dario Fernandez-Morera P.hD., "The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise."
I absolutely agree with you. I was quite disappointed when Rick's statements made the Muslims look like peaceful victims of the reconquest. Nothing more deviated from the truth.
Yes, quite true. Some humans can be quite brutal. Mesoamerica was hardly paradise among the various indigenous cultures. I'm sure you are quite aware of the atrocities the Aztecs inflicted upon other native Americans. You see, violence, rape, slavery and murder was also predominant among mesoamerican cultures long before Europeans EVER came to the new world.

"I will also add that if you're a Spaniard that condemns the moors but
makes excuses for colonization of the Americas and all the pain and
suffering it caused then you're a tremendous hypocrite."
-Ah...the layman's straw-man tactic. Wow, you got that I was defending some genocide by what I wrote? Talk about mental gymnastics, kid. I was doing no such thing. Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not Spanish. And I'm not here to pick a fight with anyone. The video above by Rick Steve, if you've not spent time viewing, is about Spain. Rick is a bit misinformed and is mouthing off JR. High school rubbish about Moorish Spain being similar to a 20th Century American-like melting pot, where everyone got along. This nonsensical viewpoint does not hold up to reality and historical facts. So, hence my first comment. Advising Rick to read-up on some history.
Your comment and tone, on the other hand was written to be provocative and you are clearly trying to elicit some response. You're trolling. I've seen it before, the internet is rife with your kind.
Why do I say that YOU are being TROLL like? Because the video AGAIN, is about Spain not Latin-America. But here you come kicking sand on Spaniard faces while at the same time trying to pat yourself in the back.
By stating the obvious:
"I was pointing out that we as humans are fine inflicting pain on others
so long as it isn't happening to us even if we are well aware of how
terrible it is."
-Really?? This is quite a profound statement...VERY bold of you. Maybe you can give us another profound statement, like "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." Could you virtue signal to us some more?
As far as I know there were periods of fights and some periods of relative stability when visigoth had some independence from the muslim government and also the opposite, muslims were accepted in the catholic reconquest. Of course both comitted crimes but in eight centuries there is time to many things.
Sono natives died mostly of diseases by Spaniards which they didn't even know, unlike the moors
Excluding a bunch of nineteenth's century stereotypes such as yelling toro or even olé while not being in Andalucia, thanks for the video. It was nice to see and your intention was not bad at all I assume.
Olé no es andaluz, perdona, es de toda España.
Los toros de Osborne están por toda España y el olé en su origen sí es de Andalucía, pero a día de hoy nos caracteriza en el extranjero. Aún así cualquier producto cultural de cualquier región española debe ser considerado como exponente de España.
His Spanish pronunciation is terrible!!!!
In 4 years I will retire and I am planning to travel with my wife each year 2-5 months through Europe. I am already planing my journeys and Steves movies are great to get the global picture. Although I visited already Barcelona, Sevilla, Malaga, Granada and Cordoba, these are just a part of what this beautiful country has to offer. The only thing I don't like is that most of the coastline of spain has been destroyed by ugly Hotel-Monsters. It is difficult to find cosy areas near the coast. Greetings from the Netherlands and hope to see you soon back, beautiful Spain!
Usually foreign's people don't cross the coastlines of Northern Spain at Cantabrian Sea and it's a pitiful mistake. The rough, lush and greens cliffs, the natural sand beach, with the forest bordering, it's a wonderful mixture balance of coast and mountain landscapes. Take you a chance on Asturias or Galicia, frankly worth the pity.
I adore Asturias because it has the the mountains that envy Ireland and the frontal coastline That Switzerland sight it for.
Usted ha visitado Andalucía y Cataluña. Dos regiones muy bellas. La región de Castilla-León es la madre de España y todas sus ciudades y pueblos están llenos de historia: castillos, palacios, catedrales, monasterios, arquitectura medieval, pinturas, etc. La lista de lugares de interés cultural es, simplemente, demasiado grande y es imposible visitarlo todo en una sola vida. Solamente en castillos hay miles. Por otro lado, una inolvidable experiencia es hacer el "Camino de Santiago".

Jews and Muslims have a common father: Abraham...they are brothers
+joangar88 *** You are right! Ismael was Abraham first son from their maid. Sarah Abraham lawful wife was so concerned that Abraham have no children as he was told by GOD that Abraham will be the father of all nations and that his childrens and children's will numbers like the countless number of stars seen at nights. Sarah told Abraham one day, how could you be the father of all nations when you have no children to carry on your name and bare childrens as your descendant's, but Abraham was not worried anyway as GOD promised him to have many children's and descendants, and so Sarah being a barren woman, not able to give Abraham a son, asked Abraham to sleep with their egyptian maid so Abraham will have a child. so that GOD prophecy will be fulfilled. Ismael the was the first born child from the egyptian maid fathered by Abraham. Ismael and the egyptian mother returned and live back in Egypt and Ismael continues his father Abraham service to GOD and he become the father of all Muslims. Several years passed after Ismael birth the Angel of GOD appeared to Abraham and revealed the news that Sarah will have a son and that son was named Issac the father of the Jews.

Muchas gracias Rick! I visited Madrid for my first time recently and took a wonderful day trip to Toledo; your excellent video here is allowing me to see what I missed. I particularly appreciate your reverence for the great El Greco; seeing his work in person was a highlight of my visit to Spain. Question: Do you have a favorite hotel recommendation in Toledo? Something historic with character?
I don’t know about Rick’s favorite but we stayed at the quite central Hotel El Greco. It was a nice smaller place full of charm and affordable just a few steps from the El Greco museum.
Actually Salamanca is part of the historic region of León, not Castile.
Eso lo dice tú, desde Fernando III permanecieron unidos los Reinos de Castilla y León difinitivamente y no hay nungún decreto de desunión.
Naturalmente que los zamoranos y salmantinos son del Reino de León y los castellanos del Reino de Castilla, asi son desde hace cientos de años, ambos reinos forman la Cornona de Castilla y León.Teneis el mismo complejo de nacimiento que los separatistas catalanes.Menuda desgracia teneis y tenemos con gente como vosotros y ellos.Hasta los cojones
Infanzones Con Fernando III se unieron las coronas. Las Cortes tardaron algunas décadas más. Pero igual que en la Corona de Castilla (y León) estaban Galicia o Asturias, estaban León y Castilla la Vieja. No en vano, en el decreto de creación de las actuales provincias, el de 1833 de Javier de Burgos, se decribe la Región de León como la formada por las provincias de León, Zamora y Salamanca.
Exactamente, el Reino de León no era solamente León, Zamora y Salamanca, tambien Galicia y Asturias y la división en Reginones en el siglo XIX se hizo con León ,Zamora y Salamanca, pero tambien ha existido la Región de León con León , Zamora, Salamanca, Valladoid y Palencia y tambien la Región de León con el mapa de leopardo de trozoa de una provincia metidos dentro de otra. Cual le parece a usted el adecuado par definir que es el Reino de León? Que epoca escojemos? Ese provincianismo cateto me parecen niñerias de catetos, cuando la división lo unico que hace es debilitarnos y los cuatro politicuchos de medio pelo no se dan cuanta que lo que necesita la gente de la corona de castilla y león es CONCIENCIACIÓN DE LO QUE HAN SIDO Y SON Y NADIE LES TIENE QUE DECIR SI SON NACIÓN, ESTA SÍ, NO OTRAS QUE NO HAN SIDO Y LAS TIENEN COMO SI LO HUBIERAN SIDO.

Sometimes Rick Steves say wrong information.
we want your whole world tour even with more time like 1 hours plus episode
You have many mistakes in this video. Two of them: the «plaza mayor» in Segovia was not used for bullfighting, and the reconstruction of the castle was, in fact, very respectful with the original. Only the ceilins burned and they were reconstructed according some drawings from before the fire. By the way, castille includes extremadura, cantabria and la rioja, though today they are split in different regions.

Pero las diferencias de identidad y cultura llegan hasta el día de hoy, si vas a León y les llamas castellanos no sales vivo de ahí. Y nadie con dos dedos de frente diría que Galicia, Extremadura y Asturias son "regiones castellanas", de igual forma que León, Zamora y Salamanca tampoco lo son. Otra cosa es que lleven 40 años de adoctrinamiento castellano/pucelano, pero eso es otra historia.
uBeautiful I love Spain.
Salamanca is NOT Castile but León. That is why there is an autonomous community in Spain called Castile AND León, created artificially in 1983 by joining together two previously existing regions: León and Old Castile. León is made up of the following provinces: León itself, Zamora and Salamanca (sometimes also Palencia and Valladolid were added to this region, shifting between Castile and León in different periods in the XIX century).
