*SPAIN IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! I LOVE SPAIN!! LOVE FROM PORTUGAL TO OUR SPANISH BROTHERS!!!* 🇪🇸
I remember looking at this video before the Camino. Now I am watching it three months after I walked! Best decision I ever made!
Rick, I just can’t explain how much these videos mean to me. Thank you so much for what you do.
Spain is like many different countries within a country. In every region of Spain there's always something different, different people. It's not Just Flamenco.
You can say that about almost every country.
@@josecarranza7555 Not really. Take a look at Spain's neighbor: France. That country looks the same at all corners, all towns and cities look the same there.
@@Nutty151 Bruh 🤦🏻♂️
@@Nutty151this is a very biased comment. Different regions of France have their own unique history and characteristics. Compare normandy to alsace-lorraine for example
@@dukio-03 France just seems like a more culturally homogeneous country. Spain has been influenced by Carthaginians, Romans, Celts, Moors, etc. Whereas France has only been influenced by the Franks and only them. That's why the depth of culture in France is so shallow.
Superb cities! Superb people! I ran with the bulls when I was in my 20s. Salutations from, USA!
Walter Zambada Wanijuato whaaaat? your name is lambada I diot? LOL your parents must be from Guaniajuto, Mexico LOL LOL LOL
How was it?
@@andrearoth6774 He survived. It seems.
It was this very show that inspired me to walk the Camino.
me too......saw it the first time in 2012 and walked the Camino the next summer of 2013
It was so beautiful , I did not know about this pilgrimage or about this part of Spain ! The scenery the small towns and their Churches were oh so lovely . I will plan to visit this area on my next trip ! One of the best of your entire body of excellent shows.
Beautiful and inspiring episode!
I cheer every time the bull wins. I hate this. Animal cruelty at its worst😢
I walked EL CAMINO once. It was a wonderful experience.
How long did it take you?
Great doc! The only thing I would say is that we Galicians say "pulpo á feira" or "polvo á feira", not "pulpo a la gallega". The latest is how non-Galicians call it, obviously. In Galician it would be galega anyways, not gallega. Gallego/a is in Spanish, not Galician. Apart of that, even I learnt some staff from the video!
Galician language is not a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish language, but the origin of present Portuguese language. It was in the 12 century when Galicia and Portucale split becaming two different counties. Both share medieval literature. :) cheers
Fascinating, just fascinating! I must embark on the pilgrim myself one day! It looks like loads of fun!
Bitmaid Do it! It's amazing
Wonderful documentary of CAMINO DE SANTIAGO . Compliments !
They’re savages.
Someday I will walk this route as a pilgrim.
The ancient and characteristic stone hut grows from the land. A mushroom, or a hat left on the trail. Cute!
The flamenco is of Andalusia not of all Spain!!!
Teranido buen oido, si eso es flamenco tú eres camarón jajajajajaja.
Tampoco es de Andalucía, es de los gitanos...!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Catholicism are beautiful because they still perserve their spiritual traditions....
También ai que recordar que desde 1388, el título de Principe de Galicia-Asturias se ha utilizado para los herederos de los tronos y reinos. De reyes castellanos y españoles que viene siendo de todo España 👑🤴👸, y saludos para la familia Rios#1👍✌️
Príncipe de Galicia?jajajja
Can somebody please share the name of the music from the bullfight scene? Thank you 🙏🏻
Having walked the Camino de Santiago several times, this by far is my favorite Rick Steve's Europe episode.
Unfortunately they don't show it very often on the PBS channels where I live. They seem to show all the other episodes about Spain except for this one. I can only assume it's because of the segments involving the bullfights and the San Fermin bull runs. PBS being the PC gutless wonders they can be at times, surely caved in to whiners who cried foul. Fortunately I can watch it here.
How about now? 2022?
That guitar at 2:08 sounds nice
Rick Steve's, would it not be a better assertion if you would ask a large amount of people at the plaza to see whether they knew the meaning of the white and red attire, rather than just assuming "they don't know and they don't care"?
Incredible Mann all he was saying is it’s a party atmosphere and people aren’t there for a history lesson, frickin snowflakes everywhere
i always root for the bull
Packing light anybody... Hehehe
Estos siguen poniendo flamenco, no se enteran
How is santiago san diego st james saint jacques san giacomo sankt jakob etc?
And Yago too.
Rick, you're such a dork, but somehow good mate. Have a good publishing deal?
1 day :)
I always wanted to do this jaunt but I will never set foot in this country as long as the inhabitants keeps the disgusting bullfighting legal.
Are you vegan? If not this is hypocrite of you, Tracey!
During the Middle age Spain didn't exist, there were the ancient kingdoms of Leon and Pamplona
And Castile and Navarra, all these kingdoms were Hispania, Visigoth kingdom.
Rick steves I love your videos but I hate when you say at the end "until next time keep on travelling". If I could travel I wouldn't be at home whatching your videos. That makes me feel so frustrated, recalling me that I am not travelling. Can you stop saying that? Why don't you say "until next time, keep on working"...? That would be much more realistic.
Hahahahha really? Hahahahahaha
Get a grip.
Trying not to get run over by bulls, kinda not very bright.
Bull fighting is so barbaric
Awful practice !
Indeed, it needs to stop. Although it's nothing compared to the meat industry worldwide.
Well, theologically unfortunately quite weak. Going to Santiago never was for forgiving sins. That is what confession and ONLY CONFESSION is for. Indulgence is about getting rid of penalties for sins. The sins must be prior forgiven.
BTW medieval pilgriums didn't go 500 miles :D They started at home. Mybe 200, maybe 2000 miles away
9:38
His "victim"? Easy there, Rick. Different countries, different cultures. Relax and smoke another doobie....
Spain is not just only Flamenco,Paella and the beach.Spain is a country mixed with different cultures,language and architectures.Every region in Spain is different.
Spain sucks it rains everyother day. hate it
+Mark Lion in the North yes the rest of Spain no
+ogbkballa I'm in madrid now. thinking of going to the south. are you from Spain?
and history too. I love Spain's history so much.
+Acdragonrider Videos spain is one of the worst experiences I had.
Hopefully I'll be trecking the Camino next year, at age 66. I love Rick Steves and am glad to have come across this episode.
Did u go?
Does it make me a bad person that I cheer for the bulls?
Charlie Gottschalk In my opinion, no. It's very cruel what they do to them!
Absolutely not! Its an art!
it doesnt make you a bad person, its just culture, nothing "bad" about running with bulls, what happens later... well, we all feel guilty :/
i do too!
@@115DELDE read your comment back and try and understand how deeply disturbed it is.
Very cruel and dangerous sport of spain.
Rick, we love your programme, so we forgive you a few inaccuracies. Galego is not a mix of Spanish and Portuguese--they are three different languages. Portuguese and Galician are closely related, yet they are individual languages, not two dialects of one.
Un fact, Portuguese comes from Galician.
I agree with that, but he's trying to explain how galego sounds. Feel the diference between that and saying that euskera is a mix between Spanish and French, which makes no sense. Galego even with its own identity sounds like something in between Spanish and Portuguese, closer to Portuguese in my opinion.
el galego y el portugues parten del mismo tronco y despues cada uno evolucion por su lado, aunque sigue habiendo una gran similitud entre ambos...
!Exactamente! I even said "no, it's not" out loud while watching...alone. LOL
Celtic culture in Spain is not just Galicia. Asturias, Cantabria, León and even the Basque Country also have Celtic heritage. And, of course, flamenco, bullfighting and paella have nothing to do with Northern Spain.
Pimianguero Navarra is northern Spain and bullfighting has a lot of tradition over there.
Bullfighting is related to all of Spain, north, south, east and west. The oldest running of the bulls registered, there may be older, is in Cuellar, Segovia, north of Spain. There are stone statues of bulls in the north of Spain thousand years old. The Celts that invaded the peninsula ended up mixing with the Iberian people and there was a mix of cultures. Portugal also has bullfights, though they do not kill the bull, as in the south of France. Flamenco is more from the south and paella is a traditional plate from Valencia.
@@Pleittor No, sir. Bullfighting has never been a tradition in the Canary Islands, where I come from. Thank God. For me, they are a barbaric custom that should be abolished, no matter how "artistic" or some kind of "'cultural' heritage" some might consider that to be. I love Spain, but hideous Spanish custom ashames me; and I guess that nowadays it ashames most of Spaniards as well.
7:31 - Looks like they smashed some dude when closing the gate.
Ha ha ha, they don't notice him or just don't care. move it or lose it I guess lol
God is great.

De que region?

You don't know what you are missing. Besides,nthe vanquished bulls feed many needy people.
Differents regions, same country, SPAIN!! :-) :-) :-) Proud of the diversity of my country!! VIVA ESPAÑA!!! :-) :-) :-)
It's not all just for "entertainment".
Those bulls are not just regular bovines. They are the last remaining undomesticated wild cattle that once roamed the entire cost of the Mediterranean Sea from Iberia to the Levant. They require vast expanses of land to live on, and if it were not for bullfighting, none of the landowners that raise fighting bulls would keep them around.
If you ban bullfighting, then you will condemn the last undomesticated breed of cattle in Europe to extinction.
Is that what you want?
I’m especially referring to the US.
@Lawrance Ovarabia JAJAJA TALIBAN PEOPLE LIKE YOU GOING FROM COOL SOYS THE WORST, JOYING YOU FROM DEATH .. THINKING THAT YOUR CAUSE IS BETTER ,, YOU ARE A CRAZY .. PXIQUIATRA 654 327654
@Carlos Tomás Lis Tú no respondiste a nada de lo que dije. Mi justificación no tiene nada que ver con estereotipos, imbécil.
Tiene que ver con la variedad genética y la continuación de linajes salvajes en la especia bovina. Las corridas de toro han preservado estos linajes. Sin las corridas, no quedería nada de los genes de los «aurochs» (vacas salvajes que vivian a lo largo del Mediterraneo en la antigüedad).
It was watching this episode that I learned of the Camino de Santiago four years ago, and decided that I must walk it, which I have.
I walked it in 35 days, not counting travel days.
I did no specific training for it. Anyone in decent shape can walk it under 40 days. Just carry as light a pack as you possibly can and wear good footwear.
I gave myself 5 weeks to walk the camino but did it in 24 days. It all depends on your abilities and how much you want to walk each day. I walked with no problem. You start to feel it after 25 klms. Your body tells you when to stop. You must take some rest days. To train, I walked in my city with my backpack. If you have hills or mountains to practice it's a good idea. The pilgrimage has about 3 mountain ranges to cross. It's very physical but your body gets stronger. It is an amazing experience. I met many people who became friends. You are always in the moment. It's physical, social, and then spiritual. I stop being religious after the camino (an atheist?). It certainly has an impact on you. Reaching Santiago was a let down. It's about the journey and not the destination. If you can go to Finisterre, you won't be disappointed. It was great to be by the sea. It's the cherry on top of the cake. Will do the camino Finisterre soon.
The incense burner served to purify the air of the stench of thousands of very dirty and sweaty pilgrims ... before showers and deodorant were invented!
Incense is a naturally strong anti-inflammatory, expectorant and pain killing remedy.
I love your videos Rick, but once again I'll have to point out yet another mistake: gallego language is a Spanish regional language, correct, but it's not a mixture of Spanish and portuguese, at all. In fact, both gallego and portuguese languages share the very same Ibero-romance roots. On another note, I'd love you to talk about the regional languages and dialects in other european countries as well, which you never do when visiting them: 11 in France, 16 in Italy and no less than 53 in Germany.
@Carlos Saraiva not at all...they are languages, not regional varieties of the same language. You are deeply desinformed, try to educate yourself before saying chorradas.
As Spaniard i have to say.... the choosen music was unfortunate for this chapter, it was a pity the amount of time wasted on the Pamplona's running bulls and how overviewed was the whole rest of the places in the way. OK in such short time it is difficult to compress everything in one program. Nevertheless, the program was nicely done.
LA MUSICA NO ES FLAMENCO ES MUSICA MEDIEVAL .... escuchas una guitarra y al momento te viene los prejuicios ,,, no es flamenco es musica tradicional castellana de medievo ,tranquila
León is a great town. Amazing destination for those who love tapas and typical food and also very joyful for young people. Don't miss it if you come to North West of Spain!!
One of the best episodes. Thank you.
How dare this man says that nobody cares about the Martyrdom of Saint Firmin!?
Superficial Protestants everywhere nowadays!!!
Rick Steve's sometimes sticks his foot in his mouth too many times in his travels.
as much as i his programs, this does happen from time to time. as the french say C'est la vie ( this is life)
My science teacher was from Nothern Spain and had an Celtic complexion and did not look what many people in America think Spanish people looked.
Well Rick, Galician language is a mix of "Spanish and Portuguese"? No! Galician is Galician, which languege is older than Spanish, Castellano, and Portuguese. The latter derives from Galician as does Portugal, thus cannot be like Portuguese, as it would be Portuguese is like Galician. You normally have correct information, but these kind of comments are quite shocking.
Thank you Rick for these videos,,ilove them alot,,wish i could travel the world and see these wonderful places,,the architecture of the buildings,food ,music, languages , history and culture,,,,,😀😍💕💯
Senor Rick, muchas gracias for the fab shows, I went to Spain for 2 years and stayed 8. Pamplona, los toros, many bullfights, the food, music, dance, people, sightseeing, all super. From Las Canarias to all of the coastal cities/pueblos and many interiors. Viva Espana!
Gracias por compartir este vídeo, en el que nos muestras el Camino de Santiago, los peregrinos que hacen la ruta jacobea tienen la oportunidad de contemplar los paisajes y monumentos como las catedrales de Burgos, León y todo el arte Románico de sus iglesias y fortalezas como el Castillo de los Templarios en Ponferrada etc..... Y al final contemplar la Catedral de Santiago en la plaza del Obradoiro.!!!Buen Camino!!!!
such an interesting and unique country! one of my favorites in Europe, besides la bella Italia and Greece!
Spain is my favorite travel destination because of its varied landscape ,stunning weather nearly all through the year, great culinary delights and nice and kind people .
at some point in our history , they sent human gladiators into an arena to be killed by lions. it was entertainment and part of the culture at that time ... im sure we could call that ART too, maybe we should bring that back and put PEOPLE into an arena to be killed by lions ... and cut off their ear as a trophy.
i wonder how many people in the audience of this video above will volunteer for that noble role.
Disgusting custom! Killing animals for fun!
It's an art to them not "fun."
Spain is a disgusting place
+Acdragonrider Videos I don't mean the bull fighting. the country

An amazing journey crossing the trails of Northern Spain. Great overview!
My Aunt is a Nun, who does our genealogy. She traced my ancestors to the Pyrenees. I live in Hawai'i.
lol no one really has dark hair. It's all either dirty blonde, light brown or brown. hmmmmm not that I believe in stereotypes but very interesting.
Spanish stereotype of dark hair and eyes comes from the south "andalusia", also flamenco and toros come from here too
I agree.
León Cathedral is the most important gothic cathedral in Spain, and you have not shown it inside. It's a shame.
Diría que no, no es ni la catedral gótica más grande (Sevilla), ni la más antigua gótica de España (Cuenca), ni la última gótica de España (Segovia). Eso sí, es de la más importantes pero no la que más
@@juancastelloterequena5354 junto con las catedrales de Toledo y Burgos, es la más importante desde el punto de vista artístico por sus líneas y vidrieras al estilo gótico francés. De hecho se pone como ejemplo del gótico español junto a las anteriores mencionas en los libros de arte. El tamaño es lo de menos.
Que no es flamenco. Que es una mixtificación de música medieval, música antigua castellana. Que tenéis los oídos muy duros
en el norte reuimos del flamenco , aunque quieran poner este canto como de toda españa en el norte somos celtas y es esa musica la que nos eriza el pelo . sintiendolo mucho el flamenco para los andaluces y gitanos ...
Antonio no se porque hay que menospreciar a nadie. Siempre igual
@@antoniolado1440 En el Norte lo único celta que hay, son los celtas sin filtro y el celta de vigo, todo lo demás es ignorancia.
@@antoniolado1440 1 . No es un canto
2. Reuis los idiotas, aunque sea de la zona de Andalucia, un respeto haber si vamos a REUIR los demás de la muñeira y del chistu , p la jota burgalesa, etc los demás .
3. En efecto es de la parte de Andalucia, cosa que no se entera este personaje y su programa, pero eso no quiera decir que tengas que ESCUPIR con esa soberbia estupida de este bello folclore, gran folclore de otra tierra PALETO y te conste que ni soy andaluza ni gitana, racista de mierda.
@@antoniolado1440 Has visto los últimos estudios de ADN.... resulta que donde más ADN norte africano hay de toda la península precisamente es en Galicia. No me invento nada, se puede consultar. ADN en Europa. Fuera racismos y falsos mitos xd.
Gallego IS NOT a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese, like it is said in the video, it is a roman language as well as Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, Portuguese or Romanian. You should take a look into it and maybe correct that mistake by posting a message here. Thank you.
Rick is amazing, not just his joy in visiting so many countries and cultures but taking part in whatever events are going on.
Nice Insight Rick. Though you need to warn people it gets addictive!

Leon's frescoes! Amazing, I did not know. Worth visiting for their own sake.
It's a dream to do Camino. With Covid don't know future. But hope is something that should drive us towards future! :)
Go and walk it..forget of. Covid....
¡¡¡¡¡¡VIVA ESPAÑA!!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Viva la castaña!!
Nada más rico que un pulpito a la galega!
Flamenco and South American music all through this beautiful documentary 😂😂😂
Flamenco music all time!!! But in north of Spain nobody listen that music. Please Next time learn about a country before Talk .
Cruelty at it's finest.
😆😆😆😆😆
Very cool! Look forward to my very own Camino later this year!
Buen Camino! Thank you!
I love alll your videos. But for this one I should choose another type music. Spain is so rich in music, and dances. The folklore in the north, the music and the instruments are completely different than in the south.
si no le gusta la opresión, por favor, repita esta palabra, "Ya Hussain".!
Sale Pamplona y le pone de fondo música flamenca, joderr.... jajaja.
Rick Steves Europe has been my favorite program (or favourite programme) for many years now. It has helped me help Canadian friends plan a honeymoon, myself to travel around Europe (although it's been much too long since I've been back) and for my parents to plan their European holidays to Eastern Europe, Italy, and now this year, France. Thanks Steve! PS. I know your company keeps saying you really don't need tour guides for Finland as it's not a popular destination but I know with the right marketing the hidden gem that is Finland could become one. :) I spent 11 glorious, but cold, months there.
Spain has its distinct civilization which has not been noisily commercialized.
The pilgrim way to composto in Spain a journey that I wished to have had the opportunity to have travelled along.I was able to go on aa Weekes pilgrimage to Northumberland in the 1970s.I also went to St David’s Cathedral in Wales for a pilgrim week such a blessing and time to reflect Ann Deakin from Warwick UK 28th November 2020
God Bless you Ann.
18:48 the clouds turn dark behind the man
the Southern Spanish guitars and flamenco themes gave me cancer. Thank you Rick Stevens! I hope to hear Dixie music in your future New-England Documentaries!

an the Camino de Sntiago. Your books have giving great motivation to not give up going there thanks again.
Gods peace be with you in your travels.
couldnt have said it better.
Nice summary of La Torre, although some Celtic music would have suited it better.
Ya salieron los tontos del no flamenco, se verán así más urbanistas y por encima de esa cultura universal que admiran y practican desde estados unidos a Japon.
Yo admiro la guitarra flamenca, el cante me resulta insoportable. Pero puede que sea porque soy gallego y cuando unas gaitas cantan me llenan de emoción. Hay más culturas en España, el flamenco no gusta a mucha gente, y eso es simplemente una realidad.
@@Yosoyosoy a todo el mundo no le puede gustar lo mismo, de eso a negar lo evidente que es un estilo admirado sobretodo por músicos de medio mundo y muchísima gente es de críos de colegio, el flamenco es todo un universo diversos estilos cada uno con su propia música cante o baile si se estudia en la universidad por algo será, y no se necesita ni siquiera instrumentos para que suene fenomenal unas palmas y una garganta es lo que le hace único, se bien que hay muchos gallegos que les gusta, sobretodo los que aman y entienden la música, como en todas partes de este país, Joan Manuel Serrat es un ejemplo.
@@Yosoyosoy no, no es por tu condición de gallego. Yo soy gallego y no me gustan las muñeiras.. y la gaita gallega me resulta demasiado estridente.
