Blue eyes originate with the Western Hunter-Gatherers, the people who spent the Ice Age in this region. Celtic people originated in Germany and from there spread westwards. They didn't have to sail the seas. They also had assimilated a large number of Neolithic populations so they were more likely to have brown eyes. They didn't have much WHG ancestry (the one that gives you blue eyes).
Its so interesting to know more about all those different Iberian peoples, here in México most people i know tend to think Spain is an homogeneous people, the white man who conquered the bronze man, but no effort is ever put in teaching the history of half our blood. Keep doin what you doing, if you ever come visit i think a tour with the Zapatistas would be fxcking awesome, look them up
I love the northern Spain videos. Love them so much that a desire to do the Camino in the future is growing in me. I'm 60 disabled, had two strokes, and an just diagnosed with prostate cancer. I know i can't do the whole Camino but I'll be happy to do a portion. I was born in El Salvador, migrated to the West Coast of the USA in the 80s. Lived in WA State over 35 years never been out of here after i came. I hope to be ready to do El camino before my body fails completely. Please keep them coming. Thank you. Abrazos muy fuertes.
You are only 60 years old. Is there no effective treatment for your cancer? You seem to be a mover and a shaker, and have had such a different life- the life of a courageous person. Keep it up!!!
I just discovered your awesome videos!!! I was born in Cuba, raised in the US. My grandfather Baldomero Martinez was from Northern Spain and migrated to Cuba in the 30's, where he had a bakery. What a pleasure to see where he was born. Thank you.
.. a lone man selling cheese, with apron on ,standing ready with full work-ethic, for a town of almost nobody or with very few foot traffic, with silence and clean air, along with a traveling musician out of nowhere, passing through for what purpose ,way out there, makes a great starting-point for a Twilight Zone plot. good vid too..
Thank you Elliot for this great video . Part of my ancestry came from Asturias, hardworking people and many of the immigrants to America came from Cantabria like my great grandpa. This is a nation of immigrants and I am a testimony of it.
just found your channel. i walked the camino last november. thanks for keeping the memory alive. i love asturias and galicia. i already want to return. gracias, hombre.
Love these Asturias video's. My grandparents are from Asturias, moved to Cuba during the Spanish civil war in the 1930's and to Florida during the Cuban revolution.
Nice video. About the celts: it was actually the other way round, they moved from Central Europe all over Europe including GB. It is there, in GB, where their culture survived the longest du to be difficult to reach by the Romans. The centre and oldest part of Celtic culture is the Hallstatt culture in Salzburg/ Austria, near the salt mines, an old burial place of the Celts was found there. Today it is a World Heritage Site. In Austria you will still find Celtic names of rivers and towns after 3000 years.The name of the river Danube comes from Danu, a Celtic God.
@@AdventureElliot Not at all, you were actually right in your first comment, however simplified it might have been. Humans have been traveling up and down across the Atlantic coastlines of Europe since forever, when the Indo-Europans in the late 3rd millennium bc, arrived in Western Europe and settled there, these trade networks led to a linguistic and cultural conversion developing into what became Celtic by the late 2nd millennium bc. The idea that the Celts originated in central Europe is an outdated theory which hasn't held up to scrutiny any more since the 80's and has been thoroughly debunked at this point, it's honestly a miracle it was even an accepted theory in the first place, considering it is based entirely on a misinterpretation of a Greek text that places the origin of the Celts at the origin of the Danube (but the Greek geography consensus at the time was that the Danube began at the Pyrenees, not the Alps) and then archaeologists found evidence of an artistic style originating in the Hallstatt area that had been adopted by populations described as Celtic, so they made the assumption that that style defined what Celts were, and it's spread, correlates with the spread of the Celts. But that is no basis for definition on what the Celts were or came from, any more than claiming Adidas tracksuits are the basis for the Russian civilization, and thus Russians came from Bavaria, where Adidas was created. Many of the cultural elements strongly associated with the Celts, such as the triskelion itself vastly pre-date the Halstatt culture. There has been no relevant genetic data confirming such a large scale migration happening at that time, and no written texts about it either (which would definitely exist, since the Greek civilization was at it's height in that period and already had long contact with Celtic peoples in Western Europe). But most importantly, the Celtic languages of Ireland, Iberia and parts of Gaul and Britain are demonstrably older in their development than the Celtic languages spoken in the Alps. There is no concrete evidence about where exactly the Celts came from, but with minor differences all currently developed and supported theories indicate a local and semi-independent development along the broader Western European trade routes, after the large scale Indo-European migration into the area.
It's interesting when you start looking into this stuff, one half of my family comes from Ireland and I only recently found out that that branch of the family arrived in Ireland from Spain around 1300 BC.
Southern and Northen Spaniards are genetically and phenotypically almost the same. During the Reconquista, the south was settled by Northen & Central Spaniards. You should know since you live in Spain, the difference is minimal, Spain It is not like Italy where the differences are notable.
@@ObliterationOfMankind Nop, I can assure you that it is just only a Myth and Stereotype of Foreigners and even by some Spaniards rather than reality, but Empirically and Objectively there are No Notable but only Minimal differences in Genotype or Physically terms between Northen & Southern Spaniards.
@@ObliterationOfMankind 1st. The Arabs did not change significantly the Demographics of Spain during the Muslim Rule, because ethnic arabs were always a minority in a territory already populated by Millions of Celtic-Iberians (Modern day Spaniards), Also Ethnic Cleansing, Repopulations, Expulsions, Segregations, etc., Science and History proves that, so... there you have the answer. 2nd. Respectfully but the Difference in General terms are not visible to the eye. You are confusing Gypsies (totally different from Andalusians) with Native Southern Spaniards ''Andalusians'' (Who are Indistinguishable from the Rest of Spaniards), becuse again, the differences are minimal either Genetically or Phenotypically. and thats is the Reality, the Truth and an Empirical Fact, you like or Not.
Deny the evidence. It is evident that in Spain there are genetic differences between the north and the south, basically they occur in the line formed by the Duero and Ebro rivers, however the greatest differences occur in strips between east and west, first due to the occupation of the peninsula in prehistoric times and the development of the Reconquista that after reaching the Duero and the Ebro developed in strips
I was there in northern Spain in August 2023. It’s beautiful! My heritage is from northern Portugal and Spain. Love the nature, greenery and Celtic influence!
New subscriber. I love these videos of northern Spain! I love when you talk to the local people, I like hearing their stories and heritage! This past summer I went to a bunch of places in Spain and it’s so interesting how geographically and culturally diverse Spain is 😊.
Hay 3 Españas: 1) la España mediterránea y meridional, 2) la España mesetaria (plateau) y meridional y 3) La España Atlántica. Los orígenes genéticos de los españoles siguen las líneas de la reconquista, y nuestra cuna está en el norte de España, es nuestro santuario. De todos modos ten en cuenta que antes de Roma, dos tercios de la península ibérica eran todo pueblos celtas, excepto la franja mediterránea que eran pueblos iberos (te recomiendo a Gonzalo Rodríguez García, un historiador buenísimo y entretenido para entender la España céltica antes de Roma). Ppr cierto, los cántabros a diferencia de los asturianos y los gallegos, son más secos en el trato, más fríos
Pueblos Ibéros - son lo.mismos que pueblos de Georgia en la mar negro de hoy, como nosotros en tiempos anteriores eramos Iberos o Iveria - la antigua Georgia o საქართველო!!! Besitos
Cuando te refieres a la atlántica, te refieres al noroeste, verdad? Porque Cádiz y Huelva están en el Atlántico y tienen un clima diferente de Andalucía Oriental, ventoso todo el año y más fresco en invierno, aunque tampoco tanto como en el Norte, y con el cambio climático menos aún. Por otro lado, en esa zona no había tanta influencia íbera, sino tartesia (la civilización más antigua de Occidente) y fenicia más tarde, y ya después romana.
@@grigolgiorgadze2670tienes razón. Nuestros ancestros vinieron de esa zona durante el Holoceno, y también de las estepas del Mar Caspio. Nos parecemos mucho físicamente también.
Elliot!! eres un tío súper auténtico y genuino, me encanta la forma en la que exploras mi amado país. Aprendo mucho con tus videos y me inspiras a hacer lo mismo!!! un abrazo
The north of Spain is the land of my ancestors. It makes me sad to see people immigrating out of these wonderful places in search for other opportunities. 😢
Celts didn't come from Ireland or Wales to northwest Spain. They originated in various parts of Europe east of the vertical line formed by countries from Hungary to Greece. Over several thousand years they kept moving westward, being pushed by Germanic and Slavic tribes. Today, Celts live west and southwest of a line between northern Italy and Belgium, and are mixed with other tribes and races. The "purest" Celts live in Galicia, Bretagne, and the Celtic parts of the British Isles, but even there are a lot of admixtures. In Ireland mostly from Norwegian Vikings, and in Scotland from various Scandinavians and the English.
You have Celts in Bosnia and Herzegovina,i have Celtic genes as well as many others here. Celts were accepted by Illirian tribes because of their bravery,otherwise they would never be allowed in whats nowdays Bosnia and Herzegovina,Illirian people only mixed with worthy tribes. Peace and love to all!
Celtic people come from Mesopotamia (actual Libanon Lybia Irak and Siria) read about this in ancient greek and roman books, Celtic people move from Lybia Libanon to Balcan lands. They moved from that area to Balkans crossing present day Turkey. Hundreds of years later they tried to invade Grecce but greek hoplites from Macedonia fight them.
@@JugadorDiestro Sorry Jugador, but Lebanon (the land area) was not part of Mesopotamia. And if tribes from the Middle East traveled and settled in the Baltic or became the Celtic people of today in Western Europe, we would see evidence of that in their genetic composition. The Y-chromosome haplogroup L... of Lebanese or any of the people from that area is not present in Celtic or Baltic populations, and it would have to be because that is forever passed down from father to son.
@@sarcasmunlimited1570 Traducir texto con tu cámara Lebanon is not part of Mesopotamia but it was that area and its surroundings where the Celtic migrations moved towards the north, think that in ancient times airplanes did not exist, they did not fly to the Balkan.
@@JugadorDiestro Genetic evidence (the Y-chromosome) shows that you are wrong. No point bringing in any other arguments. You have to deal with the genetic evidence.
Yes, Elliot, your video will definitely become a relic of the past, and those who see it in the future, will want to retrace your footsteps all the way to that monastery. This is one of the best travelogues I have ever seen. I'm now a new subscriber. Safe journey, Elliot, and thank you !
Lovely video again Elliott, well done. It shows one more time your true love and respect for my country and that my friend is really appreciated. Keep on the good work buddy ❤
Very nice video! Thanks. You were so shocked to meet that Senegalese dude, you started speaking Spanish to your camera! Kinda wish you asked him to play some music. Oh well, maybe next time!
I know.. looking back I shoulda asked that.. it woulda made the end of the video epic. Yeah, I was just so tired and wanted to get to the end. I need to learn French and Arabic .. once I do I can really explore Africa
It’s nice to see you showing Cantabria, instead of the south of Spain everybody thinks about when talking about Spain. I am from Cantabria. Watch out for the Ojáncanu, and with a bit of chance you might encounter an Anjana 😉
Interesting to think about. Perhaps he may run across an older couple in one of the nearly deserted villages, and form a good relationship. gaining a place to live and work in the process?
We've just sold our farm in Scotland. Organic🐑🐑🐑 🐏🐏sheep and cattle🐄🐄🐄🐄 farm. I'd love to farm in Spain. Especially in these out of the city places. Has anyone heard about how you go about doing that?? Internet searches are useless these days. 💖💖💖
Thank you so much ! You are great , the way you travel and interact with the people and explain is wonderful . The same way my son and I travel, truly enjoyed this video 👌
Great Video and thanks, Eliott! Only one detail: at 8'23" it's not goat cheese, it is actually Sheep, which is quite diffrent in taste. Greetings from Portugal!
Those Turkish shepherd dogs, the Karangal are fascinating, I really want to just meet some apparently they are naturally very quiet, brave and resilient herd protector type animals. I have seen them be super friendly with the people they are familiar with. No strangers
Celts were settled in Spain in most of the territory not just in the North while the Iberians were placed in the East coast and the South-East, the rest of the territory was Celtic.
It takes an American to go about getting it all wrong. In the times before Starbucks, every single restaurant or bar giving meals in Spain had a menu of three courses, of which the first was pasta, pulse, sauté greens or salads. And there was these young American couple in their caravan who cooked because "we are vegetarians, and you don't find vegetarian food in Spain". Keep the good old blindfolded tourist work.👍🏻

I love hiking and watching hiking videos. I am from Brazil and I hike a lot around here, one day I hope to go hiking in other countries like Spain.
Thanks again for taking us to areas that we only seen by car!
Beautiful, thanks amazing landscape
Thank you. First time seeing your video.
great channel, subscribed! watching from Ireland , that dog looks docile until you try to make a move on his sheep lol
I am from Spain, from Salamanca, you make a fantastic video. I like this one especially, the northern part it's one of the most beautiful
Thanks for watching.. si buscas en este canal hay más del norte y también en mi canal de español (link en bio)
Fascinating! I've always wanted to visit there. I subscribed to your Spanish channel, too!
We've just sold our farm in Scotland. Organic🐑🐑🐑 🐏🐏sheep and cattle🐄🐄🐄🐄 farm. I'd love to farm in Spain. Especially in these out of the city places. Has anyone heard about how you go about doing that?? Internet searches are useless these days. 💖💖💖
Hello my friend your videos are amazing. Am from Nepal and lived in Spain for a while. Welcome to Nepal brother!!
Thank you so much ! You are great , the way you travel and interact with the people and explain is wonderful . The same way my son and I travel, truly enjoyed this video 👌
This video brought me some sort of sadness, seeing people come and go…that is the story of our life’s…we still not used to this…
I hope she lives to be 103... 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
"sin vacas no hay paradiso" 4:54
Wow!!! So inspiratioal. God bless you.
Im jealous... saludos!
Thank you. What a gift!
Spent all my summers in that area.. best summers of my life
Those mountains look gorgeous 😍
Great Video and thanks, Eliott! Only one detail: at 8'23" it's not goat cheese, it is actually Sheep, which is quite diffrent in taste. Greetings from Portugal!
Super interesting video man! Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏❤️
Great adventure!
Lots of things I didn't know, different side of Spain, enjoyed watching your adventure.
Beautiful landscapes, beautiful country
Thank you. First time that I watch you. I like to see more on spain
I could watch this all day.
Beautiful video
Thank you
Hey Elliot, I think you made a mistake mentioning that de Celtic came from de British isles. The Celtic did it the other way around. Just saying
I think that I said that there’s a lot of Celtic dna and culture that comes from northern Spain
muy lindos tus videos Elliot
Those Turkish shepherd dogs, the Karangal are fascinating, I really want to just meet some apparently they are naturally very quiet, brave and resilient herd protector type animals. I have seen them be super friendly with the people they are familiar with. No strangers
I can now see the landscape in many old movies that were shot there!
Celts were settled in Spain in most of the territory not just in the North while the Iberians were placed in the East coast and the South-East, the rest of the territory was Celtic.
i hope there are sufficient security precautions in that monastry
It takes an American to go about getting it all wrong. In the times before Starbucks, every single restaurant or bar giving meals in Spain had a menu of three courses, of which the first was pasta, pulse, sauté greens or salads. And there was these young American couple in their caravan who cooked because "we are vegetarians, and you don't find vegetarian food in Spain". Keep the good old blindfolded tourist work.👍🏻
Lovely video. Meeting lovely people. I’m also interested in the Basque territory.
I figured being a Sconnie you would have a little more commentary on each of the cheeses 🤣🤣🤣
Oh,my gosh, so beautiful over there.
Que buen video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
still watching :D, and keep going forward vids :D
another great video
Elliot, enhorabuena por el canal, pero ten cuidado con los perros pastores, pueden ser muy peligrosos. Hace poco hubo una desgracia con un mastín de por medio
estaba pensando lo mismo
Cantabria is great between Baske Country and Austirias, between the mountains and the sea. Beautiful country!
4:50 - I like the FBI agent.
Cheers from rural Northern Portugal,
similar here.
Like your Narrative flow, the Wrap-up at the close is very well delivered. National Geo copies you Now.😅
I was born in Havana, Cuba and came to the United States in 1960 after the revolution. My grandfather came from Gangas de Onis, northern Spain and my grandmother from Andalusia, southern Spain. My grandfather and grandmother migrated to Cuba in the 1890’s and met and got married.
Cangas, not Gangas.
I don't speak Spanish but wow what an accent the 89 year old lady has!
Great channel. The real deal
I love Spain, people, hardworking locals.
Interesting video, thanks. Enjoy the cheese !
What amazing most when arrived in Cantabria was very neat. No litter at all. Still missing it
Like your channel 👍
Fabulous, even chemtrails at 10:49. Mahalo for the aloha!
And at 12:17. Spain and Hawaii. Chemtrails everywhere.
People should be allowed to live without interference from governments and big business, keep communities going.
This whole series gives me vibes of the dialogue in Hemingway's novels in Spain. You can see some of the qualities he admired about them.
Hemingway is my favorite author, In spite of his faults
I've seen people there playing bagpipes in leather tartan, definitely a celtic history!
Would love to live in a place like this
