    As someone from Santander, I cannot thank you enough for showing my country in such a respectul and elegant manner. This type of tourism is what we need, and not what we usually get. As you discovered, Spain has a massive amount of hidden jewels scattered everywhere. If you decide to come back, or someone watching this video decides to come here, do not hesitate in contacting me, as there are still many places to visit and foods (cheap) to discover!. PS1: appreciate your efforts when it comes to pronouncing!. PS2: Bardenas Reales where also a set for Game of Thrones!

      Hi Jimmy, i will definitely come with my husband next year . Can you message me a ten day itinerary for a fit couple in their 50’s? We love walking in nature, the ocean and food and wine. We also love architecture but not museums and churches- more quaint villages with good food. Also where is a good place to invest? Say 5 acres not too isolated and not too far from the ocean. Rolling green hills and close to a lively village. We are looking for somewhere to semi retire. Muchas Grazias !

Savage and outstanding cliffs, insane inland landscape and relative proximity to the medium city of Coruña, with a warm temperature in summer, 23-25 C. And the Galician lenguage spoken here is authentic, with a melodic,lyric, soft a tender voice.
      Exist a trek along six days that walk along the coastal shore to visit the villages and the lighthouses. It's named "O camiño dos faros" (lighthouse's way) you may watch here

    As someone who wants to live there, having fallen madly in love with it on visits in 2018 and 2019, I don't know how the Spaniards ever left it to come find us in America. I'm eternally grateful to them for doing so, however. We were behind you in November 2019, and did quite a bit of the same trip you did - going from Barcelona past the Pyrenees into the most gorgeous wild landscapes I've ever seen, and I'm in California! The food - so artisan and delish, and their wines - blew us away too, as did the warmth and friendliness of the people. Viva la Espana!

    I am Spanish, and Northern Spain is definitely not the Spain no one sees, it’s just the part of Spain that isn’t marketed to tourists from the UK or the US, because they want to see bulls and flamenco... glad you discovered this slice of paradise, my plan is to live in Asturias as soon as the restrictions for Coronavirus are lifted!

    • @Osutip
      @Osutip 2 года назад +3

      Not flamenco, but bulls are as traditional in a great part of Northern Spain as in the South. Not really in Asturias and Galicia, which are an exception within Spain indeed, but really traditional in the Basque Country, with very vibrant specific local traditions such as this ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokamuturra ). And same for the running of the bulls in Pamplona, which is also in the north. People often think that Basques are some kind of "extraterrestrials" with an alien language, but in some respects they're closer to Spanish stereotypes as found abroad than Galicians and Asturians.

      It´s probably because the stereotype of Spain is Andalusia, and people who only visit the Mediterranean coast find it difficult to understand that 83% of Spaniards are not Andalusian. For us Spaniards, the sound of the Asturian bagpipe is as typical Spanish as the flamenco guitar.

      Probably stereotypes create false perceptions. I was born in the Basque Country in northern Spain in a town that is located at the same latitude as Toronto . According to meteorological data, it rains 185 days a year on average. I have seen heavy snowfall in winter every year since I was a child, although I suppose it won't be as big as in Canada because the Gulf Stream tends to warm winters in western Europe compared to North America. But if you ask an average Brit who always comes to spend the summer on the Mediterranean coast in Spain, they will tell you that all of Spain is very sunny. That is why every year when a great snowfall occurs in some part of northern Spain (that is, every year), if you read the British press they talk about climate change and many people are very surprised because they have the wrong idea of that Spain is a country with a climate similar to the tropical one. That's why they don't believe me when I explain that in my city, it rains three times more than in London and that's why sometimes you can see funny scenes like this, usually starring British tourists.

Grazalema in Cádiz and Málaga, where it most rains of Spain and second in Europe. Sierra Nevada, in Granada, the tallest mountain in Spain's peninsula, always snowed.

It's the country of my ancestors and it is calling me to return. The Canary island of Tenerife is magnificent. I met over 11 relatives. Andalusia is deeply rooted with family as well as Portugal. I am so delighted when I view these videos. So happy you are doing what your heart is calling you to do. Yes, it's pretty amazing. Live life.

    Love your video. Cantabria, Asturias y Galicia are my favorite parts of Spain. At times can be crowded and touristy, but the majority are Spanish tourists. I often stay at a rural tourism hotel near Praia das Catedrais and it can be very crowded, tour buses and cars filling the lots. There are so many isolated and near deserted beaches all along the coast. Just take a road heading toward the ocean and you will likely find your own beaches. Thanks for helping me virtually visit the North!

      @@arielsalazar8542 The older I get and the more I travel, I have found that each country has a unique beauty all its own as well as its own variety of unattractive problem areas. As an American citizen, I can tell you that the USA is no different in either respect. I can also tell you that no matter which countries I have visited, I find the results of a small number of miscreants who leave trash in pristine areas, spray graffiti on ancient stones, or choose to scar the beauty there. I would hope that each of us is committed not to be one of those people and strive to reduce their influence.
