Not only the south of the US was part of the Spanish imperium. The 80% of the US territory was on some point part of it, so is common to se Spanish names on everything not only in citys and flags with symbols of the Spanish imperium nonadays everywhere. Thomas Jefferson -> "The old history of the US is writed in Spanish". Hi from Spain btw.
Por eso EUA apoya a marruecos mientras hace eso expolia el Sáhara territorio segun la ONU español!!!! Debemos recordarselo a todos los americanos!! Pagareis vuestra traición a un pais wue siempre os trato bien!!!
Nah I don't need nightlife. Spain: alright. It'll be there if you change your mind. Can I get museums? Spain: Yes. Rich history? Spain: Yes. Architechture? Spain: Yes. Old? Modern? You have Roman, Carthaginian, Moorish? Spain: Yes. Good food? Spain: all kinds of Yes. Beaches any good? Spain: Yes. What if I'd rather hike some mountains or see some natural sites? Spain: Yes. No but I mean, alpine ranges, forests, deserts, lakes, highlands, valleys, tropical islands. How much of these is there? Spain: Yes. Is it sunny over there? Spain: Oh hell yes. How about the infrastructure? Do you have good roads, fast trains and an airport behind every second city? Spain: Yes. Damn, is there anything at all that's not great about you? Spain: Politics :(
La politics de Estados Unidos es peor ya que es aliada de una dictadura como marruecos que invade un pais europeo católico solo por expoliar el Sáhara!!!!! Definitivamente la politica americana es muy mala no lo siguiente!!! Que lo sepa todo tu pais!!!
Yo igual, también de Barcelona y súper orgullosa de ser de España ❤ Tenemos un país tan maravilloso, lleno de cosas preciosas... Desde que tengo 18 años he decidido explorarlo ☺️ Primero empecé por sitios de Cataluña que es tan colorida y llena de constrastes, los Pirineos nevados, después fui a Madrid que es tan imperial, crucé Castilla que está llena de buena gente y campos, visité Galicia que es tan verde y llena de niebla, visité Asturias y sus montañas y comí tan bien su comida tradicional 😍 Estuve en Sevilla durante Semana Santa y me enamoré de como lo viven, estuve en Zaragoza y me sorprendí de lo fría que es y lo bonitas que son las flores que le llevan a la Virgen del Pilar, amé la Ciudad de las Artes de Valencia, olí las flores y sentí la lluvia y las nubes del País Vasco... Y aún me queda mucho más, mi objetivo es que entre mis 20's y mis 30's quiero estar en el máximo de sitios posibles de mi país 😍 Y somos muy buenas personas en todos los sitios. Qué pena que la política nos divida tanto porque somos preciosos, nobles de corazón, tenemos tanta belleza, tan buena comida, una riqueza de lenguas, cultura y tradiciones 😢 Como un continente en "pequeño" pero tan variado y que no te la acabas nunca y encuentras cualquier paisaje que te guste, cualquier clima y cualquier forma de ser 🩵
@@marinabay2519 Estoy de acuerdo punto por punto en lo que dices, soy andaluz, estudié 6 años en Madrid, hice las practicas de milicias en Mallorca, he pasado vacaciones en Galicia y Valencia y en todos los sitios he estado encantado; mientras más leo sobre la historia de España más me enamoro de ella. Creo que el único problema que tenemos es como señalas, las divisiones que nos inculcan los políticos, cosa que no puedo comprender.
English here. I adore Spain. I have been many times over the years. Only two hours from Heathrow. Been to a lot of the cities who have beautiful architecture. The climate is very dry and not normally humid but very sunny for a lot of the year. Lovely food, lovely people. Madrid is also a lovely city.
@valeriedavidson2785 The climate is very dry and usually not humid? That means you only know the southern half of Spain, because what is known as the Cantabrian cornice is the opposite of the center / south of the country, green landscapes, moderate and humid climate that in the last 2 years has gained tourists who are fans of tranquility away from the abusive prices and exaggerated crowds on beaches, restaurants and cafes.
@@antoniodejesusviveiros528 The furthest north I have been to in Spain is Salamanca. I KNOW it is dry and hot but not normally humid. I would like to go to San Sebastian which I know is greener, wetter and cooler. Don't get wrong, I love England but I love Spain too.
@@Panssel I am glad you like England but you are wrong about the food. I get tired of that myth. We have fantastic food in England, especially in London where the variety is endless. A lot of pubs have wonderful traditional dishes. I like Spanish food but I must say that I have never been particularly impressed with Italian food and I have been to Italy a few times.
You asked "What is that ? " Whole seeing the Temple of Debod in Madrid. That is a real Egypcian temple given by Egypt to Spain in reward for the help in moving ancient ruins out of a future dam in Egypt
Yeah! United States helped too and there is another part of the temple in the Metropolitan museum in New York. And there are two others in two other countries that helpes, in museums too.
@@caleidoscopio4770 en Italia hay otro. Fueron los dos países que más ayudaron cuando se construyó la Presa de Asuán. Que yo sepa sólo regalaron dos, uno a España y otro a Italia.
@@juliosalazar6924 No sabía de los otros dos. Gracias por el dato. El nuestro llegó en muy mal estado, por falta de profesionalidad de los egipcios. Y puede que por corrupción.

(14:50) Yes, we have roman, carthaginian, iberian, phoenician and bronze age ruins in almost every region. Also, not ruins, but you can also visit rupestian caves
@@guygibson1957sin irnos muy atrás, Naveta des Tudons (1200-750 a.C.) tiene unos 1000 años más. Como te han dicho, el Dolmen de Menga en Antequera es del 3750-3650 a.C. (casi 4000 más).
@@guygibson1957 In Spain, Neolithic sites, dolmens, and prehistoric funerary constructions are common. Among these monuments, the Dolmen of Menga (circa 3750-3659 BC) is one of the oldest and most significant in the country. However, the Naveta des Tudons (1200 BC) is one of the oldest stone structures still standing in Spain and Europe. Remains from various periods are also abundant, including those from the Roman era (such as the Aqueduct of Segovia, the Roman Theater of Mérida, and the Tower of Hercules), as well as those from the Iberian, Celtic, Visigothic, and Arab cultures, among others that have inhabited the peninsula over the millennia.
España fundó muchas ciudades y pueblos en hispanoamerica con los mismos nombres de sus ciudades de origen en España o bien otras por su parecido a las de España. Te quiero recordar que el 60% de los que hoy es territorio estadounidense pertenecía al virreinato de Nueva España, con capital en lo que hoy es Méjico DF y perteneciente a la corona de España, con su moneda, religión e idioma , incluyendo la costa occidental de Canadá y el territorio de Alaska. Una anécdota , cuando los ingleses entraron en contacto con los indios apaches, esperaban encontrar una tribu atrasada pero cuando fueron a negociar con su jefe "Jerónimo" este era cristiano y hablaba perfectamente Española , gran sorpresa para los que iban a colonizar "el lejano y salvaje oeste" que si era lejano , pero no ers salvaje. Un gran saludo desde San Sebastián España 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸😅
5:01 More than 3 quarters of what was currently the United States was Spanish territory, such as California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Alaska... and yes, in all those states you can find names of Spanish cities like Toledo and many more.

As a native of Avilés (San Agustín de La Florida, the oldest city in the USA, it was founded by a native of Avilés, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, and was named in honour of the patron saint of our city, Avilés) and as an Asturian, a people of Celtic culture, I can tell you that the reconquest began in Asturian lands. I hope you can visit it... Thank you for teh video.
We all love you too Connor and we hope you'll be coming soon to Italy and Spain ❤ It's such a pleasure for us to see a guy like you who's so interested in monuments, history, nature.. You're going to find so many open air museums in Italy and Spain that you'll get astonished 😉 So please come asap
España un País increíble en gastronomía , arquitectura ,cultura, es viajar siglos atrás y moderna a la vez,es el país que más playas tiene del mundo y el segundo más visitado , tiene paisajes increíbles dependiendo del la comunidad donde estes ,85 millones de visitantes al año , España es toda ella un museo , faltan muchas ciudades también espectaculares ,saludos
Right. The Spain's presence in the US history (Bernardo de Gálvez) and in the geography of North America. I have had the honor of having met a few North Americans in my (already) long life and none of them were at those moments aware of such decisive details about their country's past. The historical Spanish Louisiana domain. All along the westside Mississippi's river northamerican continental side. From the Mississippi River Delta to Alaska (Valdés, Cardova -sic-, the fort of San Miguel as a bastion against the Russians in Nutka Bay). After the death of Carlos III, the final evacuation of the Nutka territory was diplomatically signed, retreating the New Spain Viceroyalty borders to Oregon ("by the "orejón" indians -spanish for 'huge ears', subjective naming of Spanish sailors that pervived in history-, that populated the territory), thus freely releasing Russia, England and the USA from their fur trade in 1796. By the way, as a historical north american fact. Russia intended to displace Spain from California and the entire spanish west coast to Vancouver. As Commissioner Rezanov proposed to the Tsar: "the whole country can become an integral part of the Russian empire." Spain stopped Russia, which if then had it occupied the fertile California, it would not have abandoned it, nor sold it as it did with the frozen Alaska. And for that reason, the United States maybe might thank Spain for having sovereignty over California today.
Spain is the most diversified country in Europe include the many climates and landscapes...Their beaches are top...There are lots of Roman architecture bldgs, and bridges...
I was reading two days ago that new Roman sites were unearthed in Guadalete, Spain. They thought they were only digging for a few. But 57 sites were unearthed. I'm excited to see what they find.
The first who arrived to North América, were the Spanish nearly 2 centuries before the English. We, the Spanish are also one of the Usa founders as registered in your Constitution. The Usa gets independent, thanks to the economical and militar Spanish support
I am spanish, from a city near Madrid, Alcalá de Henares. Literally you made me cry with joy, you were interested in everything, asking a lot of questions... (I was answering you alone in my room xD) "Don't care about night parties, give me museums and ruins", I loved that. You made me feel so proud of my country: multicultural, a lot of history, mix between modern and old architecture... Man, you are welcome to come here whenever you want, you are gonna love it. Take care! P.S. As you were so interested in "La reconquista", I'll give you a fact: the conquest of Granada and Cristopher Colombus (Cristóbal Colón in Spanish) discovering America was the same year, 1492.
Spain had the biggest military float in the past and we were an Empire back then. France and England were soo mad that nowdays they just ignore it. They just dont want to rememeber that times.. Then USA was borned and well the rest is history. USA is the union of england and france in a "new world". Its like they want to forget that times and they dont teach history properly we are forget.
My favourite place got overlooked in this video, Tarragona, a relatively small City just south of Barcelona, there's tons of Roman ruins such as an Amphitheater right on the Beach front, the 'Rambla Nova' (a tree lined Pedestrian main street) packed with restaurants and watering holes that ends at the 'Mediterranean Balcony', a promenade some 40 meters above the beach with great views of the Port and headland. Tarragona old town is a walled fort Town with a towering central Cathedral (whose bells ring all night as I found out my first night there, staying a few streets over), it's very densely packed with narrow streets and a cafe full of locals on every corner.
Spanish coast is amazing. You have beautiful mediterranean beaches in the mediterranean coast of Spain. You have tropical beaches and volcanic black sand beaches in the Canary Islands and then you have the wild north beaches full of nature and unexplored.
Hi! What a pity that they didn't show the inside of some Toledo’s monuments in the video because they impress even more. For example, the Cathedral is one of the most beautiful and spectacular in all of Spain, if not the most (without disparaging the others). The square in Seville that you said you had seen before is Plaza de España and scenes from Star Wars were filmed there. Many films and series are filmed in Spain (such as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon) because it has impressive locations of all kinds. By the way, the video has some pronunciation and information errors, such as the fact that the kings of Spain don’t reside in the Royal Palace, but in the Zarzuela Palace. The Royal Palace of Madrid is the largest in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world.
Toledo in Texas was named for the Spaniards All the south of USA as spanish territory even though the Mayflower arrives in América. The spàniards were from Montana to Nevada and many more territories in s. XVI. The oldest ton in the United States is San Agustin founded by Spaniards
19:20 That's Templo de Debod. When Egypt built Assuan's Dam, a lot of temples in Egypt were going to be sunk. Many countries helped to move them to dry water. Spain helped them to move six of them. Egypt gave us this one as a gift. If you come to Madrid one day, don't miss the sunset right there. It's really amazing. Yeah, we have Paleolithic and neolithic history, as well as fenician, roman, Celtic and some from Northern Europe. One thing narrator doesn't tell about Cordoba's mosque is that it was a small cathedral originally, then a mosque, and then a cathedral (saving what muslims built in it).
Andorra is closer to Barcelona. When I was young I used to go with my friends to practice Snowboard to Andorra from Barcelona. It takes 2:30 hours, 190 Km.
The building that you asked about was in Granada, is its cathedral and behind it, is the royal chapel where the Catholic Monarchs (Elizabeth and Ferdinand), Joan the Mad, Philip the Beautiful and Prince Michael of Portugal are buried. Apart from everything shown in the video, Granada has its Sierra Nevada with some great ski slopes and also, it has magnificent beaches with a tropical climate. Thanks for the video and watching the reaction and comments from my country. But above all, from my birthplace, Granada.
22:16 The "Playa de Las Catedrales" is the fifteenth best Beach of the world, for its incredible and magical rock formations along the coast. It is in Galicia, towards the Atlantic.
19:20 That's the Debod Temple, a real egyptian temple that was given to Spain as a present in compensation fot the help of the spanish nation to save a lot of temples in Egypt when the Aswan Dam was built.
Connor mate, you have to visit Spain, a long visit, there are for example roman ruins scattered all around the country, splendid monuments and buildings all over the place, you would love it
That big square in Sevilla was a filming location for Star wars "Attack of the clones" The modern buildings in Valencia were also a filming location for "Tomorrowland"
"za, ce, ci, zo, zu" is pronounced with the same sound as your "th". In Spanish spoken in all Spain, the "ce" in Barcelona is pronounced with the "th" sound. And it is NOT a lisp (this would be offensive for Spaniards). If it's a lisp, then your way to pronounce "thanks", "with", "thunder" or "think" is a lisp too. In Spain, saying "za, ce, ci, zo, zu" with the "s" sound is called "seseo" and it's common in a few regions of Spain only, and in all Hispanic America. For Spaniards, saying "Barcelona" like "Barselona" is not a correct pronunciation. Also, Spaniards do not pronounce the "s" like "sh". If you ever hear a Spaniard pronounce the "s" as a "sh", it's because they are intentionally using a suburban tone or accent (like a "thug" tone). But it's not the norm :)
Pues tienen el futuro lingüístico muy crudo los 30 millones de españoles que no sesean, frente a los más de 500 millones que sí lo hacen. Dá igual que lo consideren correcto o incorrecto, porque la realidad se impone. Ellos, los españoles, viven en su burbuja histórica y aún se creen que el idioma español les pertenece. El mundo y la realidad va por el camino contrario. Solo bastaría que México se plantase ante las autoridades lingüísticaas inquisoriales españolas (RAE) para hacer valer sus 150 millones de hablantes con seseo y con el deseo de verlo plasmado en la escritura. ¿Qué importancia o trascendencia podría tener que a los españoles en su burbuja supremacista les molestase? Absolutamente ninguna.
@@c.revirada Para el carro. Yo no he hablado de hablar el idioma español en otros países ni de cuál es el modo correcto en todos los países. Yo he hablado de cómo se habla en España. Y de cómo se escribe correctamente en España, donde NUNCA confundimos las letras "c, z, s". Hablo de que, si un extranjero quiere visitar España o vivir en España, que sepa que así es como hablamos y así es como escribimos. No he dicho nada de cómo deben hablar en otros países hispanohablantes. Para nosotros existe una gran diferencia al escuchar "mi tío está cazando ciervos" y "mi tío está casando siervos", o en "pagar una taza" y "pagar una tasa", o en "me gustaría abrazarte" y "me gustaría abrasarte 🔥". Por ejemplo, yo a este extranjero le indicaría que en España se dice "coche" y no "carro / auto". Si tú quieres indicarle cómo se dice en tu país, adelante. Pero que el extranjero luego no tenga problemas de comunicación por no haber aprendido cómo se dice en la tierra que está pisando. En España no se sesea como norma general y así seguirá siendo dentro de las fronteras españolas, porque al resto de hispanohablantes no le tiene que importar cómo hablemos aquí y viceversa. Si el extranjero quiere sesear, que sesee, pero que luego no ande confundido al escuchar un acento diferente en España o vocabulario diferente. El idioma español pertenece a 21 PAÍSES con sus diferencias y todo. No a México ni a España.
@@c.reviradaaquí el que suena supremacista eres tú, compañero. Cada lugar tiene su forma de pronunciar y no está ni mal ni bien, el del comentario solo explica como se pronuncia en España.
@@c.reviradaEs una de las aberraciones más grandes que he leído en mi vida. Es como si tu familia tuviera un negocio histórico y hubieran 300 trabajadores, y estos dijeran nosotros somos más que esta familia así que el negocio y toda su historia es nuestra porque somos más.

19:12 That is the temple of Debod, an Egyptian temple from approximately the year 200 BC, which was donated by Egypt to Spain in gratitude for the help that Spain gave to Egypt in the conservation of the Nubian temples that were in danger of disappearing due to the construction of the Asuan Dam.
First of all, thank for your videos, I really enjoy your reactions and comments. I’m from Barcelona. There are Roman ruins all over Spain, not only ruins, the Acueducto de Segovia is still in very good shape 2000 years after being built. You should look for videos of it and Merida, Tarragona… That old ruins in Madrid are Templo de Debod “brought” from Egypt
Madeira is Portuguese, rather than Spanish. When talking about the cathedral in Seville, they were showing the Plaza de España: as in Cordoba, the cathedral is built on a previous mosque. I think that the ‘c’ in Barcelona is only pronounced with a lisp by Manuel in Fawlty Towers. ‘S’ in Spanish is pronounced much the same as in English - the attempt made to say ‘mas o menos’ sounded more Portuguese. We go to Spain a couple of times a year and I think our favourite city is Jerez, which is not too large and is not overrun with tourists - they don’t speak English in many restaurants - and it’s easy to get to Cadiz.
My ex and inlaws are Spanish ..most Spanish, especially Andalusians / southern Spaniards pronounce the "lisp" both on "c" (before the letters i or e - but not a or o) and also " z". So cerbeza sounds like "thah-betha" but caballo is "cah-bah-yo". Yet they don't use "th" when spelling words. I named my son Nathan and the Spanish called him Nah- tahn. I would say, imagjne it is spelled "Nazan" and then they would say. "Ohh- Nathan!" 😅
@@nolaj114 Call it a lisp and insult all Spaniards. The rule is Z in pronounced like th. C followed by i or e is pronounced th. J is pronounced like h, and H is silent. a word with double L (ll) is pronounced like y, so calle, the word for street, sounds like KAH-ye. Finally, V is almost always pronounced like b. These are the rules for Castillian Spanish, known more commonly as simply Spanish and the official language of the entire country, but there are many Spanish languages, and they are also official, but spoken more regionally, like Euskara in the Basque country, Gallego in the northwest around Galicia, Catalan along the eastern coast from Barcelona to Murcia and the Ballearic islands, and Aranese Occitan in the Aran valley of Catalonia. Once you arrive in the Andalucia (an-dah- loo-SEE-ah) area and going toward northern Africa around Ceuta, Melilla, and the Canary Islands, the accent changes, and you can also encounter Silbo Gomero, the whisling language of La Gomera in the Canary islands. They are all Spanish.
I have to correct you in "calle". It's "yeismo", and while it's accepted, it isn't right to take it as the correct way to say the LL. If you learn the language, you may as well learn it all without all our "ismos". I happens to have seseo and not yeismo, i know what I'm speaking about.
@@LuDa-lf1xd You have to correct Google also. Here is what Google says about the matter. "What is the yeísmo in Spain? Pronunciation of the letter y in Spanish is generally similar to the English y in “yes.” In most Spanish-speaking regions, ll and y are pronounced the same way. This is the phenomenon of yeísmo, where the ll is pronounced like the y." Perhaps Google will be impressed with your expertise and hire you immediately.
We quite like watching European crime series on TV, including some from Spain. One was mainly in Galician so not easy to understand. We watched one recently, ‘Hierro’ set in the Canary Islands and are currently watching a Chilean one. In both of these, they do not seem to pronounce the ‘s’ on the end of words, if my hearing is correct, so ‘gracias’ becomes ‘gracia’.
First, thanks for your video and those nice words to our cities. Then, I hope you have soon a chance to come and fully enjoy my country. Not only the cities shown on the video, but also some small cities where you could feel that ancient vibe you got while walking around: Alcalá de Henares, Pamplona, Oviedo, Merida (where you could enjoy a Roman theatre)... If you like to visit historic places, there's a huge array to choose. So, as I say, hope to see you making a video of that travel. Good luck with your channel, and waiting for more content like this.
Sevilla decidió hacia el año 1992,saber si realmente Cristóbal Colón,estaba enterrado en Sevilla y hizo un análisis de ADN del cuerpo que había en la tumba y se descubrió que solo había 225 gramos de Colón. El resto del cuerpo no se sabe dónde está,ya que las naciones que dicen tenerlo enterrado ninguna quiere a rur la tumba. Sevilla tiene la catedral gótica más grande del mundo y la tercera en capacidad después del Vaticano,que no es catedral sino Basílica,San Pablo de Londres pero no es cristiana . Los reales Alcázares de Sevilla es una construcción de tres palacios en uno ,que es una maravilla de España y del mundo. Sevilla es unica por su belleza y saber vivir. A 5 km de Sevilla está la ciudad romana de Itálica que es una cosa fantástica. En Sevilla nacieron 3 emperadores romanos,Trajano,Adriano y Teodosio. Un saludo desde Sevilla ❤❤❤❤
2:00 That narrow strip with sea on both sides looks like is La Manga del Mar Menor in Murcia, not Ibiza or Majorca. 5:00 Not only Toledo, there are many cities in Southern United States, Mexico, and all over the Americas that are named after Spanish cities and towns. Here in Spain we have an Alburquerque, a Laredo, or a Guadalupe, for example. 14:50 Yes, we have lots of Roman ruins. One of the most famous is the Aqueduct of Segovia, constructed around 1st century A.D. But there are many other aqueducts, amphiteatres, and other Roman buildings in various conservation states all over the country. 15:58 It depends of the part of the country, in Catalan is pronounced with an /s/ , while in Spanish is generally pronounced as a /θ/ in the dialect of Castille and most of northern Spain, and /s/ in the Andalusian and Canary Islands dialects, as they don't use the /θ/ sound, just the same as in American Spanish dialects. 18:00 Canada and Australia may have larger territories, but both of them have smaller populations than Spain. So which is a "small country" depends on the metric you use. 20:00 If you say "como shtash" (or "mash o menosh" as you said earlier) people may think you have an speech impediment😂.The souns "sh" does not exists in Spanish. 22:20 A bit earlier in this same video they talked about la Playa de la Concha (by the way the "ch" is pronounced like in "chance" not like a "k" as they pronounced it) in San Sebastián, so yes, though the Mediterranean ones are more popular, there are also nice beaches on the Atlantic side.
As for beaches, they are best on the Atlantic coast of France, Spain and Portugal. White sand and very long. But water is much colder than in the Mediterranean sea. In addition, landscapes of the Mediterranean coast are really unique and the weather is better, so Mediterranean are usually preferred by the tourists.
No, Donostia /San Sebastián, where I live, is not close to Andorra. As you can see, Donostia is a coastal city in the Basque Country (part of which is in Spain and part in France) that is located on the Bay of Biscay. (Donostia is 12 miles from the border with France.) Andorra is a small principality in the interior of the peninsula in the Pyrenees mountain range, in fact closer to Catalonia than to the Basque Country. To give you an idea, Andorra is 280 miles east of Donostia and 120 miles further east is Barcelona.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo... mas o menos, Donostia y Andorra no estan cerca... para nuestros estandares. Ten en cuenta que para un Estadounidense, un viaje en coche de 4 horas es cerca, teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de su pais y tambien las horas que pasan al dia dentro de un coche para trabajar, comprar, llevar a sus hijos a la escuela, etc...
If you are looking for ruins of the Roman Empire in Spain, the most famous would be the Segovia aqueduct, the Roman theater of Mérida, the walls of Lugo, Alcántara Bridge (Cáceres), Tarragona Amphitheater...
Y Merida, Extremadura. Antigua capital de Lusitania en el Imperio Romano. Teatro, anfiteatro, circo, Templo de Diana y el Museo Nacional de Arte Romano.
And in my hometown, little village in the north a few kilometres from the famous prehistoric cave paintings (I won’t tell the name, those who know will recognise it), we’ve had thermals frequented from thousands of years ago, in more recent history Cantabrians used it, Romans used it (Roman coins from different periods found), the Queen used it…
La catedral de Sevilla 1433 , 1507 tardo en construirse 100 años sobre una mezquita constuida en 1172, y a su vez fue contruida sobre una basilica y anterior mente un edificio civil Romano hace mas de 2. 000 años . El primero en llegar a territorio estadounidense fue Juan Ponce de León en 1513
I admit that I am impressed. You have a very high level of geography and history. You have made a very sharp observation that escapes most. Indeed, Spain is approximately at the latitude of the state of New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts... However, most of the country (except the northern fringe) is more arid than the northeast of the United States. Not only that, Spain in general is less humid than Italy, with both countries being at the same latitude. I was always interested in knowing why. I think it has a complex multifactorial explanation. But it seems that the main elements are 2: 1- The Azores anticyclone. A meteorological phenomenon in the Atlantic Ocean west of the Iberian Peninsula. 2- The physical geography of the country itself. Much of the center of the country is formed by the central plateau (650 m or 1950 feet above sea level). Surrounding the central plateau are many mountain ranges. In fact, Spain is a very mountainous country. These mountain ranges have a "screen effect" on the different air masses that reach the Iberian Peninsula with humid air. This "screen effect" does not completely neutralize the different air masses that reach the Iberian Peninsula, but it attenuates it. The peculiar geographical location of the Iberian Peninsula and its orography make it almost a mini continent. With a multitude of landscapes and climatic differences. Thus in the north there is a climate very similar to that of England or France, and the southeast is literally a desert. Very close to that desert there is a mountain range in Andalusia, which changes the landscapes and climate completely. Something curious considering that Spain (and even more so Portugal) is a small country compared to gigantic countries like the US. You talked about the influence of warm air masses from Africa. In fact, it is one of the air masses that reach the Iberian Peninsula. The most characteristic thing about this air mass is that it comes from the Sahara, sometimes loaded with sand and dust. When this phenomenon occurs, something quite spectacular occurs. The day darkens, the sky turns red and there is a rather apocalyptic atmosphere. It's not common but sometimes it happens. I think that in some places in the US a very similar phenomenon sometimes occurs. A cordial greeting.
9:25 IIn Europe, we have way warmer weather than in America due to the oceanic currents. For example, Córdoba is about the same latitude as Richmond, Virginia but has a weather a little bit more dry and hot than San Antonio, Texas.
Everyone has passed through Spain. When we do a genetic analysis, the machine explodes. Iberians, Celts, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Alans, Visigoths, Arabs... And we have kept the best of all of them.
You are a known Spain history ? lol the vast majority invasións was a military no quantitative learn Spain history for exemple the Spanish DNA in a very very vast part is a Iberian ; Celt or Celtuberian is ridículous say the other civilizations for exemple the Romans founded cities with soldoers for no have Romans in Spain ; the Visigoths is the vast invaders population is in Spain aprox 200.000 in a 5-6 million inhabitants of Hispania ; Moors apart the expelled in 17 century is a military invasión not quantitative etc..; no say nonsenses .

About Spain in the American continent and in the world… Well, more than half of the current US was part of the Spanish Empire or had Spanish presence and influence for several years. In America the Spanish Empire reached Alaska; in Asia and Oceania, the Philippines (named after the Spanish king Philip II), the Mariana Islands (named after his wife Mariana of Austria), the Palau Islands, the Carolinas, even they were in Papua New Guinea, Taiwan… Australia and New Zealand were discovered in the mid-16th century by the Spanish and Portuguese and not by the English in the 18th century as has been popularized around the world.… There is much to talk about on this topic. I invite you to investigate and learn a little about the history of Spain because in a certain way it’s also the history of your country. *States of USA* with Spanish names and their origin/meaning: California , Florida (was Tierra de la Pascua Florida > Flowery Easter Land), Colorado (means red), Nevada (Sierra Nevada), Montana (Montaña), Oregon (probably from Spanish “orejón”), Arizona (probably comes from Basque), Texas (Castilianized from Caddo), Utah (Castilianized from Apache)… *Cities and towns:* Los Ángeles (was La Reina de Los Ángeles), Las Vegas, Sonora, San Agustín (Florida, oldest town in USA), San Antonio (was San Antonio de Béjar), San Diego (was San Diego de Alcalá) Albuquerque (from Alburquerque, Badajoz), San José, San Francisco, Santa Fé, El Paso, St. John’s (Canadá, was San Juan de Pasajes), Cordova (Alaska)… *-Toledo:* is in Ohio, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Texas/ Belize, Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Philippines. *-Valencia:* New Mexico, California/ Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Philippines, Trinidad and Tobago, France. *-Sevilla:* Florida, Georgia, Ohio, California/ Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Jamaica, Philippines, Equatorial Guinea *-Granada:* Mississippi, Minnesota, California/ Granada (country in the Caribbean), Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, Peru. *-Madrid:* New York, Alabama, Iowa, Colorado/ Mexico, Colombia, Philippines. *-Malaga:* Ohio, New Mexico, Washington, California/ Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Philippines, Australia, Norway, Sudan, Papua New Guinea, Morocco. *-San Sebastian:* Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Philippines. *And many many more:* Guadalajara, Córdoba, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Santander, Las Palmas, Murcia, Vitoria, Salamanca, Cartagena, León…
Hello, I am from Barcelona, Spain. I congratulate you for your interest in knowing our history. As you already know, the reconquest ends with the taking of Granada as the last Muslim bastion. But also the Iberian Peninsula suffered all kinds of invasions from the Carthaginian Greeks, Arab Romans. I encourage you to come, you will love it.
4:53 TOLEDO fué la capital del IMPERIO ESPAÑOL en el siglo XVI. En aquellos momentos , Texas formaba parte del Imperio Español, dentro del Virreinato de Nueva España , que incluía toda la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos y Canadá.
I´m sure you will love your future visits to both Spain and Italy. As for the nightlife, it can be pretty much the same anywhere. Travelling is about feeling the history, the streets, the food, the smells, the sunsets...
We built a lot in America a lot thank to unite the Native American people with the Spaniards and creating a great community which was the hispanidad. The Spanish empire. There are not only Roman ruins, there are plenty of them. Every city and every town has Roman ruins. In Barcelona there are some outside and others underground that can be visited. We also have Iberian and Celtic ruins and also Celtiberian ones.
The whole region Spain and the wider mediterranean region is that popular, is because of the climate. Very similar to that of California. I feel like many Americans aren't aware of this.
ME SORPRENDE LA EDUCACION DE LA HISTORIA EN E.E.U.U., QUE SE SORPRENDAN DE QUE EXISTE UNA CIUDAD LLAMADA TOLEDO, Y QUE EL NOMBRE DE LA CIUDAD AMERICANA, ES GRACIAS A LA ESPAÑOLA 🤷🤷😳😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It bothers me that in these videos they make rankings of cities and leave out, for example, incredible cities in Castilla y León with impressive history and monuments. There are so many cities with great historical and monumental treasures that this video has fallen very short because it has only shown the most touristy, that is not getting to know Spain, at least the Spain in which I live, which for me is much more wonderful from what that video shows.
Honey we see you, just come and live among us, we have a lot of history, roman,moor, carthaginian, tartessos… and depending on where you live the nature will be different
Yep Andorra is in the Pyrenees, literally in between France and Spain, is "in driving" distance yes, though it takes aprox 5 hours driving through the mountain range. Great place for skiing and snowboarding, used to go there almost every year when I was a teen Btw don't be fooled by the stereotypes, Spain is the most montanous region of Europe after Swizzerland and has tons of biomes, you have coasts, cliffs and forests with almost constant rain and fog like Ireland/Scottland in the north of Spain. You have vast plains that reach the horizon in the center, Arizona like terrain in the south, etc. It's always mentioned Spain is always sun and beaches but that's mostly the mediterranean coast As for the history, yeah we have Roman, Carthaginian, Celt, Moor, Phoenician, Gothic and Germanic ruins everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE you could throw a stone and find some old arch, public bathroom with geothermal waters, etc And not just ruins we have still in use bridges, theatres, aqueducts and lighthouse from Roman era, let that sink in, we have structures still in use and perfectly preserved and maintained (and up to modern standard without compromising the structure) from 2000 years ago, and not just a 5 meter long bridge but 100+ meters long ones. The aqueducts of Segovia is 17 km long and was still in use up to 1970 Now liguistically speaking: With differenciate C from S, you call it lisp but we have been diferenciating them since Roman times, our CE sounds like your THEspian. Our SI (yes) doesn't sound at all like CI. You call lisp to diferenciating S from C we call lisp not differenciating S from C, which is kinda funny I hope you like the flag with the royal shield, just red, yellow and red is kinda bland
And under them, as in Málaga city center last year, phoenicians ruins. And yet under, a five thousand year's calcolitic period remains of seasonal human settlements compatible with the megalithic culture of Antequera. Enviar comentarios
Granada was under Castilla tribute half a Century before 1492 but remainnig in their own muslim rules...It was ended when Isabella of Castille and Ferdinand of Aragón decided that Granada was an Otoman danger to re-invade the peninsula precisely by Turk ships arriving at Granada coasts...
The "c" in Barcelona can be both pronounced as a /th/ or an /s/, depending on the dialect/accent/language variety. The typical Spanish /s/ in Spain (only in varieties that have both the /th/ and the /s/phonemes) is apical, meaning that it's pronounced using the tip of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge. In English and Latin American Spanish the /s/ is laminal, pronounced with the part of the tongue behind the tip touching the alveolar ridge, while the tip of the tongue rests against the lower teeth. It's thought that Latin had an apical /s/, like Peninsular Spanish.
If you want to have a good look at Spain and you have access to it I'd recommend watching the Vuelta A Espana bicycle race which is going on at the moment and spends a lot of time showcasing the areas, towns and landmarks that the cyclists are riding through. Same with the Giro D'Italia that shows off Italy and the Tour De France which does the same for France when they are on too.
Video muy común , presentando España, el interior de España menos conocido internacionalmente, tienes más variedad en el imperio romano. También, si buscas más de España, busca videos de la historia de España. Aunque para vosotros es un hapdicap el idioma. Busca videos en UA-cam de "pero está es otra Historia" Saludos
Loved your enthusiasm! See how much interest and love you have for history and culture I hope you make the trip to Spain and Italy, put Portugal in too, sooner than later...and take time to enjoy it!
Loved this. It reminded me of the many years we used to take the car on a ferry from the UK and meander slowly through beautiful France for a month or so every year, making our way, eventually, to the South Then always spent a week or so in the Basque Region, often slipping 'over the border' to San Sebastian to watch a game of pelota. So exciting, no other game to 'touch ' it - imo.
Nice to see finally an open minded al learned youtuber! Next tiene try San Sebastián, and some of the north coast as Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria or Basque Country).
Eres un chico muy inteligente y educado, espero que los chicos de tu edad sigan tu ejemplo.En Granada m. 26.23 es la catedral de Granada Un abrazo de una sevillana❤
Andorra is in the Pyrenees, but not on the Basque / Atlantic side near San Sebastian, rather on the Catalan side, about a two-three hour drive from Barcelona or the Mediterranean
You definitely should come back and travel through Italy and Spain. Italy is more beautiful than you could ever imagine it doesn’t matter where you are it’s just beauty on beauty on beauty. And the food is to die for 😍😍😍😍 Italy is my favourite country but after the migration it’s not as safe as it used to be sadly. But you just can’t beat that kind of beauty. Spain it were different still beautiful no doubt but more deserted in large part of Spain. I moved from Denmark to Spain 9 month ago and I love that desert look maybe because I myself live in a very wet and green country so for me to see something very different is beautiful. There’s so much to see here in Spain and the people are so kind even though you do not speak Spanish and they do not speak English they try very hard to give you the best experience. The weather in August is freaking warm like it’s not pleito be outside walking around during the hottest time of the day. But I love that it’s like 28-30 degrees at night so you can be out eating till midnight and it’s not too warm. I live between Alicante and Valencia and it’s fantastic I love it and both Alicante and Valencia are fantastic cities ❤ the northern part of Spain is definitely more green and much colder but as beautiful as the south. The food is great but in my humble opinion it’s can’t beat the Italian food. You are going to be blown away with the architecture everywhere but remember if you come at the high peak of summer it’s going to be packed with people especially in the city’s. So around May, June, mid September and October would be perfect to visit. And no you’re not boring just because nightlife is not your priority.
That ancient structure you saw in Madrid that you asked about is the Templo de Debod, a gift from Egypt. The beaches in the south of Spain can be beautiful (Cádiz, Huelva... other parts of the coast are meh). It's a loooong coastline. 😉 Great channel. Love your vibe. ❤️👍
SPAIN IS SO MUCH MORE,FULL OF BEAUTIFUL MEDIEVAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES. ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES ROMAN, VISIGOTH, ISLAMIC, CHRISTIAN, JEWS ETC. ESPAÑA ENTRE EL CIELO Y LA TIERRA. GOOD DOCUMENTARIES. 👍👍👍
@ 2:01 is La Manga. It's a stunning strip of land between the Mediterranean and Mar Menor. You pass the city of Cartagena just before the entrance to La Manga, that originates from the Romans and Carthage. We went there last year and are going again next month. Madeira is owned by Portugal, maybe you were thinking of Majorca/Mallorca (the j or ll is a y), which is Spanish. About the "como estas?", the 's' is just a regular 's' in most of Spain, the way you pronounced it sounds more Portugese. However, the region where I live (Almeria, in the bottom right corner), the locals don't pronounce their 's', so they would say "como eta?", but if it's just locals being friendly, they would just say "que tal?". it's quite difficult to learn Spanish here. And about Granada. It's only 2 hours from me, I've never been yet although my son has. And not only does it have the ancient history of the Romans, the Moors, the Berbers and the Alhambra (which is featured in many films).....but it also has the superb ski resort of the Sierra Nevada mountains..........You can be skiing in the morning and sunbathing in 30 degrees in the afternoon.
Spain is warmer due to a marine current, that transports warm water from the gulf of mexic to the norht of Africa and Spain, the gulf current. In South Spain the climate is really hot in summer
Second oldest city in the the US is Spanish founded - Santa Fe. Muslims during the moorish time, were far architecturally to Northern Europe, also scientifically curious, not sure when that faded. Spain also has fantastic regional foods and wines. Lived in Andalusia for a year - amazing.
Barzelona in Spanish Barselona in Catalan. 😅😂 the como estas first. The second one is as someone with pronunciation problems would say it. We only say different the c and z not all the s.
If you have the chance, the theme park of Toledo called "puy du fou" is just stunning, and it resume the history of spain really well. in the other hand, "Las Fallas" from Valencia is not only a normal party. Is an artistic competition which cost millions of Euros (sometime more than 12) each one. Is probably the best festivity of Spain, and maybe even close to the Chinese end year or Brazilian charnivals. We put a LOT of effort of making the fallas, and is really an beautiful and uncomparable artisian work. I cannot look it only "like a party" (No hate at all don't worry :)). I can't explain it much better, you need search for it and if you can live it maybe you can undestand what I say :).
Not only the south of the US was part of the Spanish imperium. The 80% of the US territory was on some point part of it, so is common to se Spanish names on everything not only in citys and flags with symbols of the Spanish imperium nonadays everywhere. Thomas Jefferson -> "The old history of the US is writed in Spanish". Hi from Spain btw.
Por eso EUA apoya a marruecos mientras hace eso expolia el Sáhara territorio segun la ONU español!!!! Debemos recordarselo a todos los americanos!! Pagareis vuestra traición a un pais wue siempre os trato bien!!!
Nah I don't need nightlife.
Spain: alright. It'll be there if you change your mind.
Can I get museums?
Spain: Yes.
Rich history?
Spain: Yes.
Architechture?
Spain: Yes.
Old? Modern? You have Roman, Carthaginian, Moorish?
Spain: Yes.
Good food?
Spain: all kinds of Yes.
Beaches any good?
Spain: Yes.
What if I'd rather hike some mountains or see some natural sites?
Spain: Yes.
No but I mean, alpine ranges, forests, deserts, lakes, highlands, valleys, tropical islands. How much of these is there?
Spain: Yes.
Is it sunny over there?
Spain: Oh hell yes.
How about the infrastructure? Do you have good roads, fast trains and an airport behind every second city?
Spain: Yes.
Damn, is there anything at all that's not great about you?
Spain: Politics :(
1000% true, a lot of diversity for a "small" country. And to be fair our politics are not even bad if you compare them to USA ones haha
La politics de Estados Unidos es peor ya que es aliada de una dictadura como marruecos que invade un pais europeo católico solo por expoliar el Sáhara!!!!! Definitivamente la politica americana es muy mala no lo siguiente!!! Que lo sepa todo tu pais!!!

Hahaha so true
I'm spanish born and raised in Barcelona, this video makes me feel so lucky to be from Spain.
Yo igual, también de Barcelona y súper orgullosa de ser de España ❤ Tenemos un país tan maravilloso, lleno de cosas preciosas... Desde que tengo 18 años he decidido explorarlo ☺️ Primero empecé por sitios de Cataluña que es tan colorida y llena de constrastes, los Pirineos nevados, después fui a Madrid que es tan imperial, crucé Castilla que está llena de buena gente y campos, visité Galicia que es tan verde y llena de niebla, visité Asturias y sus montañas y comí tan bien su comida tradicional 😍 Estuve en Sevilla durante Semana Santa y me enamoré de como lo viven, estuve en Zaragoza y me sorprendí de lo fría que es y lo bonitas que son las flores que le llevan a la Virgen del Pilar, amé la Ciudad de las Artes de Valencia, olí las flores y sentí la lluvia y las nubes del País Vasco... Y aún me queda mucho más, mi objetivo es que entre mis 20's y mis 30's quiero estar en el máximo de sitios posibles de mi país 😍 Y somos muy buenas personas en todos los sitios. Qué pena que la política nos divida tanto porque somos preciosos, nobles de corazón, tenemos tanta belleza, tan buena comida, una riqueza de lenguas, cultura y tradiciones 😢 Como un continente en "pequeño" pero tan variado y que no te la acabas nunca y encuentras cualquier paisaje que te guste, cualquier clima y cualquier forma de ser 🩵
@@marinabay2519 Estoy de acuerdo punto por punto en lo que dices, soy andaluz, estudié 6 años en Madrid, hice las practicas de milicias en Mallorca, he pasado vacaciones en Galicia y Valencia y en todos los sitios he estado encantado; mientras más leo sobre la historia de España más me enamoro de ella. Creo que el único problema que tenemos es como señalas, las divisiones que nos inculcan los políticos, cosa que no puedo comprender.

I appreciate this UA-camr reads History.
English here. I adore Spain. I have been many times over the years. Only two hours from Heathrow. Been to a lot of the cities who have beautiful architecture. The climate is very dry and not normally humid but very sunny for a lot of the year.
Lovely food, lovely people. Madrid is also a lovely city.
@valeriedavidson2785 The climate is very dry and usually not humid? That means you only know the southern half of Spain, because what is known as the Cantabrian cornice is the opposite of the center / south of the country, green landscapes, moderate and humid climate that in the last 2 years has gained tourists who are fans of tranquility away from the abusive prices and exaggerated crowds on beaches, restaurants and cafes.
@@antoniodejesusviveiros528 The furthest north I have been to in Spain is Salamanca. I KNOW it is dry and hot
but not normally humid. I would like to go to San Sebastian which I know is greener, wetter and cooler. Don't get wrong, I love England but I love Spain too.
@@Panssel I am glad you like England but you are wrong about the food. I get tired of that myth. We have fantastic food in England, especially in London where the variety is endless. A lot of pubs have wonderful traditional dishes.
I like Spanish food but I must say that I have never been particularly impressed with Italian food and I have been to Italy a few times.
Gracias Valerie for your comment :)
A los españoles nos encanta Inglaterra, pese a nuestras tormentosas relaciones históricas...
You asked "What is that ? " Whole seeing the Temple of Debod in Madrid. That is a real Egypcian temple given by Egypt to Spain in reward for the help in moving ancient ruins out of a future dam in Egypt
Yeah! United States helped too and there is another part of the temple in the Metropolitan museum in New York. And there are two others in two other countries that helpes, in museums too.

First video I watched from this channel. Love the fact that you're also interested in history! Gives the reactions so much more personality.
(14:50) Yes, we have roman, carthaginian, iberian, phoenician and bronze age ruins in almost every region. Also, not ruins, but you can also visit rupestian caves
19:20 Templo de Debod, an egyptian temple donated to Spain by Egypt for helping save The Abu Simbel temple
Although it was donated you could say its one of the oldest structures standing in Spain its 2200 years old.
@@guygibson1957 But no the oldest :P
@@guygibson1957nada comparado con Altamira
@@guygibson1957sin irnos muy atrás, Naveta des Tudons (1200-750 a.C.) tiene unos 1000 años más. Como te han dicho, el Dolmen de Menga en Antequera es del 3750-3650 a.C. (casi 4000 más).
@@guygibson1957 In Spain, Neolithic sites, dolmens, and prehistoric funerary constructions are common. Among these monuments, the Dolmen of Menga (circa 3750-3659 BC) is one of the oldest and most significant in the country. However, the Naveta des Tudons (1200 BC) is one of the oldest stone structures still standing in Spain and Europe. Remains from various periods are also abundant, including those from the Roman era (such as the Aqueduct of Segovia, the Roman Theater of Mérida, and the Tower of Hercules), as well as those from the Iberian, Celtic, Visigothic, and Arab cultures, among others that have inhabited the peninsula over the millennia.
España fundó muchas ciudades y pueblos en hispanoamerica con los mismos nombres de sus ciudades de origen en España o bien otras por su parecido a las de España.
Te quiero recordar que el 60% de los que hoy es territorio estadounidense pertenecía al virreinato de Nueva España, con capital en lo que hoy es Méjico DF y perteneciente a la corona de España, con su moneda, religión e idioma , incluyendo la costa occidental de Canadá y el territorio de Alaska.
Una anécdota , cuando los ingleses entraron en contacto con los indios apaches, esperaban encontrar una tribu atrasada pero cuando fueron a negociar con su jefe "Jerónimo" este era cristiano y hablaba perfectamente Española , gran sorpresa para los que iban a colonizar "el lejano y salvaje oeste" que si era lejano , pero no ers salvaje.
Un gran saludo desde San Sebastián España 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸😅
5:01 More than 3 quarters of what was currently the United States was Spanish territory, such as California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Alaska... and yes, in all those states you can find names of Spanish cities like Toledo and many more. Good video friend, I'm glad you liked Spain!!
English here. I love Spain. I have been many times. You would love the old cities with their beautiful architecture.
Que sería de Estados Unidos sin los españoles.......??!!
Está muy bien estudiar los diferentes paises del mundo ..... Pero lo verdaderamente importante es saber de donde viene tu pais ....quien te ayudó y sobre todo ser agradecido....
As a native of Avilés (San Agustín de La Florida, the oldest city in the USA, it was founded by a native of Avilés, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, and was named in honour of the patron saint of our city, Avilés) and as an Asturian, a people of Celtic culture, I can tell you that the reconquest began in Asturian lands. I hope you can visit it...
Thank you for teh video.
We all love you too Connor and we hope you'll be coming soon to Italy and Spain ❤ It's such a pleasure for us to see a guy like you who's so interested in monuments, history, nature.. You're going to find so many open air museums in Italy and Spain that you'll get astonished 😉 So please come asap

Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Florida, San Antonio, Nevada, Colorado, Montana, etc... All Spanish cities... Just looks at the names...
Right. The Spain's presence in the US history (Bernardo de Gálvez) and in the geography of North America. I have had the honor of having met a few North Americans in my (already) long life and none of them were at those moments aware of such decisive details about their country's past.
The historical Spanish Louisiana domain. All along the westside Mississippi's river northamerican continental side.
From the Mississippi River Delta to Alaska (Valdés, Cardova -sic-, the fort of San Miguel as a bastion against the Russians in Nutka Bay).
After the death of Carlos III, the final evacuation of the Nutka territory was diplomatically signed, retreating the New Spain Viceroyalty borders to Oregon ("by the "orejón" indians -spanish for 'huge ears', subjective naming of Spanish sailors that pervived in history-, that populated the territory), thus freely releasing Russia, England and the USA from their fur trade in 1796.
By the way, as a historical north american fact. Russia intended to displace Spain from California and the entire spanish west coast to Vancouver.
As Commissioner Rezanov proposed to the Tsar: "the whole country can become an integral part of the Russian empire."
Spain stopped Russia, which if then had it occupied the fertile California, it would not have abandoned it, nor sold it as it did with the frozen Alaska. And for that reason, the United States maybe might thank Spain for having sovereignty over California today.
Las Vegas was not founded by the spanish
Bonita España,pais de paises. Maravillosos los contrastes de culturas, arquitectura,lenguas,gente.. dentro de un pequeño pais.
Spain is the most diversified country in Europe include the many climates and landscapes...Their beaches are top...There are lots of Roman architecture bldgs, and bridges...
I was reading two days ago that new Roman sites were unearthed in Guadalete, Spain. They thought they were only digging for a few. But 57 sites were unearthed. I'm excited to see what they find.
Cuando los españoles llegan a América, nombraron a muchas ciudades, con nombres españoles
The first who arrived to North América, were the Spanish nearly 2 centuries before the English. We, the Spanish are also one of the Usa founders as registered in your Constitution. The Usa gets independent, thanks to the economical and militar Spanish support
I am spanish, from a city near Madrid, Alcalá de Henares. Literally you made me cry with joy, you were interested in everything, asking a lot of questions... (I was answering you alone in my room xD) "Don't care about night parties, give me museums and ruins", I loved that. You made me feel so proud of my country: multicultural, a lot of history, mix between modern and old architecture... Man, you are welcome to come here whenever you want, you are gonna love it. Take care!
P.S. As you were so interested in "La reconquista", I'll give you a fact: the conquest of Granada and Cristopher Colombus (Cristóbal Colón in Spanish) discovering America was the same year, 1492.
Simply Spain is the best and beautiful country in Europe.
Spain had the biggest military float in the past and we were an Empire back then. France and England were soo mad that nowdays they just ignore it. They just dont want to rememeber that times.. Then USA was borned and well the rest is history. USA is the union of england and france in a "new world". Its like they want to forget that times and they dont teach history properly we are forget.
My favourite place got overlooked in this video, Tarragona, a relatively small City just south of Barcelona, there's tons of Roman ruins such as an Amphitheater right on the Beach front, the 'Rambla Nova' (a tree lined Pedestrian main street) packed with restaurants and watering holes that ends at the 'Mediterranean Balcony', a promenade some 40 meters above the beach with great views of the Port and headland. Tarragona old town is a walled fort Town with a towering central Cathedral (whose bells ring all night as I found out my first night there, staying a few streets over), it's very densely packed with narrow streets and a cafe full of locals on every corner.
Tarragona has a very nice hospital too. I know because I spent a week in it when I was a kid after an accident while on holiday in Salou.
Spain is much, much more than this, much more!
Spanish coast is amazing. You have beautiful mediterranean beaches in the mediterranean coast of Spain. You have tropical beaches and volcanic black sand beaches in the Canary Islands and then you have the wild north beaches full of nature and unexplored.
Hi! What a pity that they didn't show the inside of some Toledo’s monuments in the video because they impress even more. For example, the Cathedral is one of the most beautiful and spectacular in all of Spain, if not the most (without disparaging the others).
The square in Seville that you said you had seen before is Plaza de España and scenes from Star Wars were filmed there. Many films and series are filmed in Spain (such as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon) because it has impressive locations of all kinds.
By the way, the video has some pronunciation and information errors, such as the fact that the kings of Spain don’t reside in the Royal Palace, but in the Zarzuela Palace.
The Royal Palace of Madrid is the largest in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world.
Toledo in Texas was named for the Spaniards All the south of USA as spanish territory even though the Mayflower arrives in América. The spàniards were from Montana to Nevada and many more territories in s. XVI. The oldest ton in the United States is San Agustin founded by Spaniards
First time in your channel, you seem to be such a good guy, transparent and honest. I'm glad I found you
19:20 That's Templo de Debod. When Egypt built Assuan's Dam, a lot of temples in Egypt were going to be sunk. Many countries helped to move them to dry water. Spain helped them to move six of them. Egypt gave us this one as a gift. If you come to Madrid one day, don't miss the sunset right there. It's really amazing.
Yeah, we have Paleolithic and neolithic history, as well as fenician, roman, Celtic and some from Northern Europe.
One thing narrator doesn't tell about Cordoba's mosque is that it was a small cathedral originally, then a mosque, and then a cathedral (saving what muslims built in it).
Andorra is closer to Barcelona. When I was young I used to go with my friends to practice Snowboard to Andorra from Barcelona. It takes 2:30 hours, 190 Km.
The building that you asked about was in Granada, is its cathedral and behind it, is the royal chapel where the Catholic Monarchs (Elizabeth and Ferdinand), Joan the Mad, Philip the Beautiful and Prince Michael of Portugal are buried.
Apart from everything shown in the video, Granada has its Sierra Nevada with some great ski slopes and also, it has magnificent beaches with a tropical climate.
Thanks for the video and watching the reaction and comments from my country. But above all, from my birthplace, Granada.
22:16 The "Playa de Las Catedrales" is the fifteenth best Beach of the world, for its incredible and magical rock formations along the coast. It is in Galicia, towards the Atlantic.
19:20 That's the Debod Temple, a real egyptian temple that was given to Spain as a present in compensation fot the help of the spanish nation to save a lot of temples in Egypt when the Aswan Dam was built.
Connor mate, you have to visit Spain, a long visit, there are for example roman ruins scattered all around the country, splendid monuments and buildings all over the place, you would love it
That big square in Sevilla was a filming location for Star wars "Attack of the clones"
The modern buildings in Valencia were also a filming location for "Tomorrowland"
And before Lawrence of Arabia.
"za, ce, ci, zo, zu" is pronounced with the same sound as your "th". In Spanish spoken in all Spain, the "ce" in Barcelona is pronounced with the "th" sound. And it is NOT a lisp (this would be offensive for Spaniards). If it's a lisp, then your way to pronounce "thanks", "with", "thunder" or "think" is a lisp too. In Spain, saying "za, ce, ci, zo, zu" with the "s" sound is called "seseo" and it's common in a few regions of Spain only, and in all Hispanic America. For Spaniards, saying "Barcelona" like "Barselona" is not a correct pronunciation. Also, Spaniards do not pronounce the "s" like "sh". If you ever hear a Spaniard pronounce the "s" as a "sh", it's because they are intentionally using a suburban tone or accent (like a "thug" tone). But it's not the norm :)
Pues tienen el futuro lingüístico muy crudo los 30 millones de españoles que no sesean, frente a los más de 500 millones que sí lo hacen. Dá igual que lo consideren correcto o incorrecto, porque la realidad se impone. Ellos, los españoles, viven en su burbuja histórica y aún se creen que el idioma español les pertenece. El mundo y la realidad va por el camino contrario. Solo bastaría que México se plantase ante las autoridades lingüísticaas inquisoriales españolas (RAE) para hacer valer sus 150 millones de hablantes con seseo y con el deseo de verlo plasmado en la escritura. ¿Qué importancia o trascendencia podría tener que a los españoles en su burbuja supremacista les molestase? Absolutamente ninguna.
@@c.revirada Para el carro. Yo no he hablado de hablar el idioma español en otros países ni de cuál es el modo correcto en todos los países. Yo he hablado de cómo se habla en España. Y de cómo se escribe correctamente en España, donde NUNCA confundimos las letras "c, z, s". Hablo de que, si un extranjero quiere visitar España o vivir en España, que sepa que así es como hablamos y así es como escribimos. No he dicho nada de cómo deben hablar en otros países hispanohablantes. Para nosotros existe una gran diferencia al escuchar "mi tío está cazando ciervos" y "mi tío está casando siervos", o en "pagar una taza" y "pagar una tasa", o en "me gustaría abrazarte" y "me gustaría abrasarte 🔥".
Por ejemplo, yo a este extranjero le indicaría que en España se dice "coche" y no "carro / auto". Si tú quieres indicarle cómo se dice en tu país, adelante. Pero que el extranjero luego no tenga problemas de comunicación por no haber aprendido cómo se dice en la tierra que está pisando.
En España no se sesea como norma general y así seguirá siendo dentro de las fronteras españolas, porque al resto de hispanohablantes no le tiene que importar cómo hablemos aquí y viceversa. Si el extranjero quiere sesear, que sesee, pero que luego no ande confundido al escuchar un acento diferente en España o vocabulario diferente. El idioma español pertenece a 21 PAÍSES con sus diferencias y todo. No a México ni a España.
@@c.reviradaaquí el que suena supremacista eres tú, compañero. Cada lugar tiene su forma de pronunciar y no está ni mal ni bien, el del comentario solo explica como se pronuncia en España.
@@c.reviradaEs una de las aberraciones más grandes que he leído en mi vida. Es como si tu familia tuviera un negocio histórico y hubieran 300 trabajadores, y estos dijeran nosotros somos más que esta familia así que el negocio y toda su historia es nuestra porque somos más.

14:42, "I've seen this before"... It's Naboo in Star Wars : Attack of the Clones
19:12 That is the temple of Debod, an Egyptian temple from approximately the year 200 BC, which was donated by Egypt to Spain in gratitude for the help that Spain gave to Egypt in the conservation of the Nubian temples that were in danger of disappearing due to the construction of the Asuan Dam.
Justo iba a decir eso, incluyendo que era un regalo de Egipto.. y veo tu comentario 🎉

First of all, thank for your videos, I really enjoy your reactions and comments. I’m from Barcelona.
There are Roman ruins all over Spain, not only ruins, the Acueducto de Segovia is still in very good shape 2000 years after being built. You should look for videos of it and Merida, Tarragona…
That old ruins in Madrid are Templo de Debod “brought” from Egypt
Madeira is Portuguese, rather than Spanish. When talking about the cathedral in Seville, they were showing the Plaza de España: as in Cordoba, the cathedral is built on a previous mosque. I think that the ‘c’ in Barcelona is only pronounced with a lisp by Manuel in Fawlty Towers. ‘S’ in Spanish is pronounced much the same as in English - the attempt made to say ‘mas o menos’ sounded more Portuguese. We go to Spain a couple of times a year and I think our favourite city is Jerez, which is not too large and is not overrun with tourists - they don’t speak English in many restaurants - and it’s easy to get to Cadiz.
My ex and inlaws are Spanish ..most Spanish, especially Andalusians / southern Spaniards pronounce the "lisp" both on "c" (before the letters i or e - but not a or o) and also " z". So cerbeza sounds like "thah-betha" but caballo is "cah-bah-yo". Yet they don't use "th" when spelling words. I named my son Nathan and the Spanish called him Nah- tahn. I would say, imagjne it is spelled "Nazan" and then they would say. "Ohh- Nathan!" 😅
@@nolaj114 Call it a lisp and insult all Spaniards. The rule is Z in pronounced like th. C followed by i or e is pronounced th. J is pronounced like h, and H is silent. a word with double L (ll) is pronounced like y, so calle, the word for street, sounds like KAH-ye. Finally, V is almost always pronounced like b. These are the rules for Castillian Spanish, known more commonly as simply Spanish and the official language of the entire country, but there are many Spanish languages, and they are also official, but spoken more regionally, like Euskara in the Basque country, Gallego in the northwest around Galicia, Catalan along the eastern coast from Barcelona to Murcia and the Ballearic islands, and Aranese Occitan in the Aran valley of Catalonia. Once you arrive in the Andalucia (an-dah- loo-SEE-ah) area and going toward northern Africa around Ceuta, Melilla, and the Canary Islands, the accent changes, and you can also encounter Silbo Gomero, the whisling language of La Gomera in the Canary islands. They are all Spanish.
I have to correct you in "calle".
It's "yeismo", and while it's accepted, it isn't right to take it as the correct way to say the LL.
If you learn the language, you may as well learn it all without all our "ismos".
I happens to have seseo and not yeismo, i know what I'm speaking about.
@@LuDa-lf1xd You have to correct Google also. Here is what Google says about the matter. "What is the yeísmo in Spain?
Pronunciation of the letter y in Spanish is generally similar to the English y in “yes.” In most Spanish-speaking regions, ll and y are pronounced the same way. This is the phenomenon of yeísmo, where the ll is pronounced like the y." Perhaps Google will be impressed with your expertise and hire you immediately.
We quite like watching European crime series on TV, including some from Spain. One was mainly in Galician so not easy to understand. We watched one recently, ‘Hierro’ set in the Canary Islands and are currently watching a Chilean one. In both of these, they do not seem to pronounce the ‘s’ on the end of words, if my hearing is correct, so ‘gracias’ becomes ‘gracia’.
First, thanks for your video and those nice words to our cities. Then, I hope you have soon a chance to come and fully enjoy my country. Not only the cities shown on the video, but also some small cities where you could feel that ancient vibe you got while walking around: Alcalá de Henares, Pamplona, Oviedo, Merida (where you could enjoy a Roman theatre)... If you like to visit historic places, there's a huge array to choose. So, as I say, hope to see you making a video of that travel. Good luck with your channel, and waiting for more content

Look into Segovia. It has the most amazing Roman aqueduct - still in use until not long ago, and standing without any mortar at all.
Sevilla decidió hacia el año 1992,saber si realmente Cristóbal Colón,estaba enterrado en Sevilla y hizo un análisis de ADN del cuerpo que había en la tumba y se descubrió que solo había 225 gramos de Colón.
El resto del cuerpo no se sabe dónde está,ya que las naciones que dicen tenerlo enterrado ninguna quiere a rur la tumba.
Sevilla tiene la catedral gótica más grande del mundo y la tercera en capacidad después del Vaticano,que no es catedral sino Basílica,San Pablo de Londres pero no es cristiana .

Laughed just after the 23min mark.
Relax with best wishes sent from a really big City in Spain called Scotland.
2:00 That narrow strip with sea on both sides looks like is La Manga del Mar Menor in Murcia, not Ibiza or Majorca.
5:00 Not only Toledo, there are many cities in Southern United States, Mexico, and all over the Americas that are named after Spanish cities and towns. Here in Spain we have an Alburquerque, a Laredo, or a Guadalupe, for example.
14:50 Yes, we have lots of Roman ruins. One of the most famous is the Aqueduct of Segovia, constructed around 1st century A.D. But there are many other aqueducts, amphiteatres, and other Roman buildings in various conservation states all over the country.
15:58 It depends of the part of the country, in Catalan is pronounced with an /s/ , while in Spanish is generally pronounced as a /θ/ in the dialect of Castille and most of northern Spain, and /s/ in the Andalusian and Canary Islands dialects, as they don't use the /θ/ sound, just the same as in American Spanish dialects.
18:00 Canada and Australia may have larger territories, but both of them have smaller populations than Spain. So which is a "small country" depends on the metric you use.
20:00 If you say "como shtash" (or "mash o menosh" as you said earlier) people may think you have an speech impediment😂.The souns "sh" does not exists in Spanish.
22:20 A bit earlier in this same video they talked about la Playa de la Concha (by the way the "ch" is pronounced like in "chance" not like a "k" as they pronounced it) in San Sebastián, so yes, though the Mediterranean ones are more popular, there are also nice beaches on the Atlantic side.
As for beaches, they are best on the Atlantic coast of France, Spain and Portugal. White sand and very long. But water is much colder than in the Mediterranean sea. In addition, landscapes of the Mediterranean coast are really unique and the weather is better, so Mediterranean are usually preferred by the tourists.
No, Donostia /San Sebastián, where I live, is not close to Andorra.
As you can see, Donostia is a coastal city in the Basque Country (part of which is in Spain and part in France) that is located on the Bay of Biscay.
(Donostia is 12 miles from the border with France.)
Andorra is a small principality in the interior of the peninsula in the Pyrenees mountain range, in fact closer to Catalonia than to the Basque Country.
To give you an idea, Andorra is 280 miles east of Donostia and 120 miles further east is Barcelona.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo... mas o menos, Donostia y Andorra no estan cerca... para nuestros estandares. Ten en cuenta que para un Estadounidense, un viaje en coche de 4 horas es cerca, teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de su pais y tambien las horas que pasan al dia dentro de un coche para trabajar, comprar, llevar a sus hijos a la escuela, etc...
There are lovely beaches all over Spain. Majorca and the other islands have lovely beaches too.
If you are looking for ruins of the Roman Empire in Spain, the most famous would be the Segovia aqueduct, the Roman theater of Mérida, the walls of Lugo, Alcántara Bridge (Cáceres), Tarragona Amphitheater...

And in my hometown, little village in the north a few kilometres from the famous prehistoric cave paintings (I won’t tell the name, those who know will recognise it), we’ve had thermals frequented from thousands of years ago, in more recent history Cantabrians used it, Romans used it (Roman coins from different periods found), the Queen used it…

I admit that I am impressed. You have a very high level of geography and history.
You have made a very sharp observation that escapes most.
Indeed, Spain is approximately at the latitude of the state of New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts...
However, most of the country (except the northern fringe) is more arid than the northeast of the United States.
Not only that, Spain in general is less humid than Italy, with both countries being at the same latitude.
I was always interested in knowing why. I think it has a complex multifactorial explanation.
But it seems that the main elements are 2:
1- The Azores anticyclone. A meteorological phenomenon in the Atlantic Ocean west of the Iberian Peninsula.
2- The physical geography of the country itself.
Much of the center of the country is formed by the central plateau (650 m or 1950 feet above sea level).
Surrounding the central plateau are many mountain ranges.
In fact, Spain is a very mountainous country.
These mountain ranges have a "screen effect" on the different air masses that reach the Iberian Peninsula with humid air.
This "screen effect" does not completely neutralize the different air masses that reach the Iberian Peninsula, but it attenuates it.
The peculiar geographical location of the Iberian Peninsula and its orography make it almost a mini continent.
With a multitude of landscapes and climatic differences.
Thus in the north there is a climate very similar to that of England or France, and the southeast is literally a desert. Very close to that desert there is a mountain range in Andalusia, which changes the landscapes and climate completely.
Something curious considering that Spain (and even more so Portugal) is a small country compared to gigantic countries like the US.
You talked about the influence of warm air masses from Africa.
In fact, it is one of the air masses that reach the Iberian Peninsula.
The most characteristic thing about this air mass is that it comes from the Sahara, sometimes loaded with sand and dust.
When this phenomenon occurs, something quite spectacular occurs.
The day darkens, the sky turns red and there is a rather apocalyptic atmosphere.
It's not common but sometimes it happens.
I think that in some places in the US a very similar phenomenon sometimes occurs.
A cordial greeting.
Hay tantas ciudades,regiones que no salen en el video tan bonitas....España mi país es HERMOSO ❤❤❤❤

9:25 IIn Europe, we have way warmer weather than in America due to the oceanic currents. For example, Córdoba is about the same latitude as Richmond, Virginia but has a weather a little bit more dry and hot than San Antonio, Texas.
Everyone has passed through Spain. When we do a genetic analysis, the machine explodes. Iberians, Celts, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Alans, Visigoths, Arabs... And we have kept the best of all of them.
You are a known Spain history ? lol the vast majority invasións was a military no quantitative learn Spain history for exemple the Spanish DNA in a very very vast part is a Iberian ; Celt or Celtuberian is ridículous say the other civilizations for exemple the Romans founded cities with soldoers for no have Romans in Spain ; the Visigoths is the vast invaders population is in Spain aprox 200.000 in a 5-6 million inhabitants of Hispania ; Moors apart the expelled in 17 century is a military invasión not quantitative etc..; no say nonsenses .

About Spain in the American continent and in the world… Well, more than half of the current US was part of the Spanish Empire or had Spanish presence and influence for several years.
In America the Spanish Empire reached Alaska; in Asia and Oceania, the Philippines (named after the Spanish king Philip II), the Mariana Islands (named after his wife Mariana of Austria), the Palau Islands, the Carolinas, even they were in Papua New Guinea, Taiwan… Australia and New Zealand were discovered in the mid-16th century by the Spanish and Portuguese and not by the English in the 18th century as has been popularized around the world.… There is much to talk about on this topic. I invite you to investigate and learn a little about the history of Spain because in a certain way it’s also the history of your country.

Hello, I am from Barcelona, Spain. I congratulate you for your interest in knowing our history. As you already know, the reconquest ends with the taking of Granada as the last Muslim bastion. But also the Iberian Peninsula suffered all kinds of invasions from the Carthaginian Greeks, Arab Romans. I encourage you to come, you will love it.
4:53 TOLEDO fué la capital del IMPERIO ESPAÑOL en el siglo XVI. En aquellos momentos , Texas formaba parte del Imperio Español, dentro del Virreinato de Nueva España , que incluía toda la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos y Canadá.
I´m sure you will love your future visits to both Spain and Italy. As for the nightlife, it can be pretty much the same anywhere. Travelling is about feeling the history, the streets, the food, the smells, the sunsets...
We built a lot in America a lot thank to unite the Native American people with the Spaniards and creating a great community which was the hispanidad. The Spanish empire.
There are not only Roman ruins, there are plenty of them. Every city and every town has Roman ruins. In Barcelona there are some outside and others underground that can be visited. We also have Iberian and Celtic ruins and also Celtiberian ones.
The whole region Spain and the wider mediterranean region is that popular, is because of the climate. Very similar to that of California. I feel like many Americans aren't aware of this.

It bothers me that in these videos they make rankings of cities and leave out, for example, incredible cities in Castilla y León with impressive history and monuments. There are so many cities with great historical and monumental treasures that this video has fallen very short because it has only shown the most touristy, that is not getting to know Spain, at least the Spain in which I live, which for me is much more wonderful from what that video shows.
Honey we see you, just come and live among us, we have a lot of history, roman,moor, carthaginian, tartessos… and depending on where you live the nature will be different
Yep Andorra is in the Pyrenees, literally in between France and Spain, is "in driving" distance yes, though it takes aprox 5 hours driving through the mountain range. Great place for skiing and snowboarding, used to go there almost every year when I was a teen
Btw don't be fooled by the stereotypes, Spain is the most montanous region of Europe after Swizzerland and has tons of biomes, you have coasts, cliffs and forests with almost constant rain and fog like Ireland/Scottland in the north of Spain. You have vast plains that reach the horizon in the center, Arizona like terrain in the south, etc. It's always mentioned Spain is always sun and beaches but that's mostly the mediterranean coast
As for the history, yeah we have Roman, Carthaginian, Celt, Moor, Phoenician, Gothic and Germanic ruins everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE you could throw a stone and find some old arch, public bathroom with geothermal waters, etc And not just ruins we have still in use bridges, theatres, aqueducts and lighthouse from Roman era, let that sink in, we have structures still in use and perfectly preserved and maintained (and up to modern standard without compromising the structure) from 2000 years ago, and not just a 5 meter long bridge but 100+ meters long ones. The aqueducts of Segovia is 17 km long and was still in use up to 1970
Now liguistically speaking: With differenciate C from S, you call it lisp but we have been diferenciating them since Roman times, our CE sounds like your THEspian. Our SI (yes) doesn't sound at all like CI. You call lisp to diferenciating S from C we call lisp not differenciating S from C, which is kinda funny
I hope you like the flag with the royal shield, just red, yellow and red is kinda bland
In Spain, practically anywhere you dig you will find Roman ruins
And under them, as in Málaga city center last year, phoenicians ruins. And yet under, a five thousand year's calcolitic period remains of seasonal human settlements compatible with the megalithic culture of Antequera.

Granada was under Castilla tribute half a Century before 1492 but remainnig in their own muslim rules...It was ended when Isabella of Castille and Ferdinand of Aragón decided that Granada was an Otoman danger to re-invade the peninsula precisely by Turk ships arriving at Granada coasts...
España es un pequeño continente, tiene cuatro estaciones y todos los climas.
The "c" in Barcelona can be both pronounced as a /th/ or an /s/, depending on the dialect/accent/language variety. The typical Spanish /s/ in Spain (only in varieties that have both the /th/ and the /s/phonemes) is apical, meaning that it's pronounced using the tip of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge. In English and Latin American Spanish the /s/ is laminal, pronounced with the part of the tongue behind the tip touching the alveolar ridge, while the tip of the tongue rests against the lower teeth. It's thought that Latin had an apical /s/, like Peninsular Spanish.
Beaches on the north are surrounded by green mountains and the water is cooler than the mediterranean, both are astonishing
If you want to have a good look at Spain and you have access to it I'd recommend watching the Vuelta A Espana bicycle race which is going on at the moment and spends a lot of time showcasing the areas, towns and landmarks that the cyclists are riding through. Same with the Giro D'Italia that shows off Italy and the Tour De France which does the same for France when they are on too.

Loved your enthusiasm! See how much interest and love you have for history and culture I hope you make the trip to Spain and Italy, put Portugal in too, sooner than later...and take time to enjoy it!
Loved this. It reminded me of the many years we used to take the car on a ferry from the UK and meander slowly through beautiful France for a month or so every year, making our way, eventually, to the South Then always spent a week or so in the Basque Region, often slipping 'over the border' to San Sebastian to watch a game of pelota. So exciting, no other game to 'touch ' it - imo.

11:10 Andorra is a 5 hr 30 min drive from San Sebastián (455 km / 2827 miles) to the east in the Pyrenees mountain range.
You are right. Near Sevilla there's an important site of Román ruins , called Itálica. Well worth visiting
The Roman Emperor's family came from Italica. They had large land holdings there
Andorra is in the Pyrenees, but not on the Basque / Atlantic side near San Sebastian, rather on the Catalan side, about a two-three hour drive from Barcelona or the Mediterranean
You definitely should come back and travel through Italy and Spain.
Italy is more beautiful than you could ever imagine it doesn’t matter where you are it’s just beauty on beauty on beauty. And the food is to die for 😍😍😍😍 Italy is my favourite country but after the migration it’s not as safe as it used to be sadly. But you just can’t beat that kind of beauty.
Spain it were different still beautiful no doubt but more deserted in large part of Spain. I moved from Denmark to Spain 9 month ago and I love that desert look maybe because I myself live in a very wet and green country so for me to see something very different is beautiful. There’s so much to see here in Spain and the people are so kind even though you do not speak Spanish and they do not speak English they try very hard to give you the best experience. The weather in August is freaking warm like it’s not pleito be outside walking around during the hottest time of the day. But I love that it’s like 28-30 degrees at night so you can be out eating till midnight and it’s not too warm. I live between Alicante and Valencia and it’s fantastic I love it and both Alicante and Valencia are fantastic cities ❤ the northern part of Spain is definitely more green and much colder but as beautiful as the south. The food is great but in my humble opinion it’s can’t beat the Italian food. You are going to be blown away with the architecture everywhere but remember if you come at the high peak of summer it’s going to be packed with people especially in the city’s. So around May, June, mid September and October would be perfect to visit. And no you’re not boring just because nightlife is not your priority.
España es mucho más bella
That ancient structure you saw in Madrid that you asked about is the Templo de Debod, a gift from Egypt. The beaches in the south of Spain can be beautiful (Cádiz, Huelva... other parts of the coast are meh). It's a loooong coastline. 😉
Great channel. Love your vibe. ❤️👍
SPAIN IS SO MUCH MORE,FULL OF BEAUTIFUL MEDIEVAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES. ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES ROMAN, VISIGOTH, ISLAMIC, CHRISTIAN, JEWS ETC. ESPAÑA ENTRE EL CIELO Y LA TIERRA. GOOD DOCUMENTARIES. 👍👍👍
hhahahaha I don't know why this video jumped out at me but I'm glad it did, greetings from Santiago de Compostela.
@ 2:01 is La Manga. It's a stunning strip of land between the Mediterranean and Mar Menor. You pass the city of Cartagena just before the entrance to La Manga, that originates from the Romans and Carthage. We went there last year and are going again next month. Madeira is owned by Portugal, maybe you were thinking of Majorca/Mallorca (the j or ll is a y), which is Spanish.
About the "como estas?", the 's' is just a regular 's' in most of Spain, the way you pronounced it sounds more Portugese. However, the region where I live (Almeria, in the bottom right corner), the locals don't pronounce their 's', so they would say "como eta?", but if it's just locals being friendly, they would just say "que tal?". it's quite difficult to learn Spanish here.
And about Granada. It's only 2 hours from me, I've never been yet although my son has. And not only does it have the ancient history of the Romans, the Moors, the Berbers and the Alhambra (which is featured in many films).....but it also has the superb ski resort of the Sierra Nevada mountains..........You can be skiing in the morning and sunbathing in 30 degrees in the afternoon.
Yeah, I guess he was thinking about Majorca, as he immediatly says Ibiza that is other of the Balearic Islands.
Spain is warmer due to a marine current, that transports warm water from the gulf of mexic to the norht of Africa and Spain, the gulf current. In South Spain the climate is really hot in summer
I think they lack of info if they don't mention the Canary Islands. Or may be they need to put more than 10 for a top in Spain
No doubt about it! The Canary Islands are easily in the top 3.
Second oldest city in the the US is Spanish founded - Santa Fe.
Muslims during the moorish time, were far architecturally to Northern Europe, also scientifically curious, not sure when that faded.
Spain also has fantastic regional foods and wines. Lived in Andalusia for a year - amazing.
And first St. Agustín(1565), in Florida too
San Antonio, Los Ángeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Monterrey, El Paso. Las Cruces.
California, Florida, Colorado, Nevada…
Barzelona in Spanish Barselona in Catalan. 😅😂 the como estas first. The second one is as someone with pronunciation problems would say it. We only say different the c and z not all the s.
If you have the chance, the theme park of Toledo called "puy du fou" is just stunning, and it resume the history of spain really well.
in the other hand, "Las Fallas" from Valencia is not only a normal party. Is an artistic competition which cost millions of Euros (sometime more than 12) each one.
Is probably the best festivity of Spain, and maybe even close to the Chinese end year or Brazilian charnivals. We put a LOT of effort of making the fallas, and is really an beautiful and uncomparable artisian work.
I cannot look it only "like a party" (No hate at all don't worry :)). I can't explain it much better, you need search for it and if you can live it maybe you can undestand what I say :).
I find being interested in history and culture just the opposite of being boring :) By the way, that tree is call Cypress.
