You are right, Hadrian was the first with the beard fashion imported from Greece; making his predecessor also the last of the old traditional roman shaved faces, kept since Octavius, with the sole exception of Nero.

      @Lucas Pato Y no es cierto, no tiene mas diversidad que otros paises de nuestro entorno, quizás Portugal es de los pocos paises que sean aun menos diversos que nosotros, la realidad es que España etnica y culturalmente es muy homogenea en comparación a lo que puede ser Italia,Alemania o Francia, somos herederos directos de la cultura romana que es la predominante con mucha diferencia y luego tenemos algo de allí y algo de allá y etnicamente es de los paises europeos con menor diversidad pese a lo que se ha vendido habitualmente.. ten en cuenta que España no es un lugar de paso, sino una peninsula, no ha tenido el movimiento de otras naciones europeas, de hecho a pesar de lo que se piensa la gente hay mas diferencia genética de este a oeste que de norte a sur, basicamente geneticamente somos celtiberos+romanos (mas del 80% de los genes) luego hay otros que aunque significativos no son definitorios como germanos (7-8%) o "árabe"(3-5%).

      1- España es demasiado diversa para comparar con un país como Portugal.

      3- La cultura romana es tan predominante en andalucía... La giralda, la alhambra... Tenemos mayor diversidad que los países centro europeos.
      4- Somos una peninsula que une Europa con Africa. Y dices que no somos una zona de paso? Pero tu has leído algo de historia? Las peninsulas con estrechos: Gibraltar, Bering, incluso Calais son sitios de paso desde siempre. No había otro sitio por donde pasar.
      5- Y no tiene nada que ver, pero quieres hablar de genética? Hablemos. Durante centenares de años vivimos con Árabes. Y tu crees que puedes encontrar un español con un 3-5% de arabe?
      Porcierto, vaya mierda de frase la ultima no? Porque si, la cloaca era romana, pero los numeros son arabes. La democracia griega, pero la navegación, arabe. Sestercio romano, pero la negociacion, fenicia. Todas las conquistas dejan marca, la historia es preciosa, no dejes que el racismo te engañe.

      Even funnier fact: when I was walking the Camino de Santiago (from Paris) in 1999, once in Castile and Leon I started seeing graffitis saying "León Solo" (Leon on its own, euphemism for Independence for León). Once inside León proper, in the Bierzo region, I started seeing graffitis "Bierzo Ceibe" (Galician for "Free Bierzo", euphemism for "Return Bierzo to Galicia"). And inside some Bierzo hamlets, there were graffitis saying that those particular hamlets/very tiny villages (I don't remember their names) were "Terra Astur" (Asturian Lands). It's like every single room in every single house in every single street in every single town or city in Spain wants their own independence! Anyway, Spain is one of the greatest countries on Earth, and I'm very proud of my Galician-Spanish heritage. Viva nuestra maravillosa diversidad!

There are so many beautiful, medieval and Moorish towns that are like little jewels that you come upon and wouldn’t know about, unless you wandered like Don Quixote, across its vast plain. The places I likes best are Caceres, Zafra, Badajoz and especially Merida. It is a town built on a huge archeological site, as Merida was the ancient Roman capital for Iberia. Their archeological museum is really impressive. The people are happy you visit, the towns are quaint and there’s delicious food, comfortable places to stay that are inexpensive. If you’re interested in archaeological sites, much older than the ancient Roman empire, I would visit antequera and its sacred Dolmens.

Leonor is the princess of Asturias, the princess of Girona (from Aragon) and the princess of Viana (from Navarre). Many monarchies have a title reserved to the heir. In Belgium the heir is the Duchess of Brabant and in the Netherland is the Princess of Orange. All created to say, I have many sons or daughters but, this is my heir. Leonor spoke spanish, catalan and she need to study other spanish languages like galician or basque. It's not easy to be a princess now jaja.

    -Isabel of Castilla and Fernando of Aragon married in 1469 not 1479
    -The Canary Island name comes from “Can”, in latin, “Dog” not the bird canary. I was so confused when I was little about this.
    - The volcano in Tenerife is called Teide not Tiede.
    -When you show the pictures of Madrid, the one on the left down corner is Segovia, not Madrid. Segovia is quite close to Madrid but it’s in Castilla y León and it has a Roman aqueduct, which you show in the picture.
    The rest is perfect (I think). Also I wanted to thank you for saying Valladolid is not actually the capital of Castilla y León. I am from other city in this community and people from Valladolid always go around saying they are the capital and making the rest of the people angry haha

    Okay, I am from León, a city which is in... Castille and León, but I currently live in Catalonia, and my girlfriend is from Valencia, so I may point some things out, especially from Castille and León:
    First, Castille and León is the only autonomy made up of two regions, as the name implies. Old Castille, where Valladolid (also colloquially named Pucela) is, and also Burgos, Palencia, Ávila, Segovia and Soria. Cantabria and La Rioja were provinces of Old Castille up until 1983, when they somehow also got their own autonomy. Dark urban legends say that Basque nationalists had a hand in that, because they didn't want to have such a long and important border with Castille. And then, there's the region of León, made up of the provinces of León, Zamora and Salamanca, which was established as a separate region from 1833 to 1983. León also has its own language, Leonese, but much like Aragonese in Aragon and Asturian in Asturias -Much like Catalan and Valencian, Asturian and Leonese are pretty much the same language just with a different name and some vocabulary differences-, and for example, the Celtic tribe of the Astures were also living in most of León. As such and seeing that most people wrongly refer to Castille and León as if it was just Castille, many people in León actually want to have their own autonomous community (especially in the province of León, in Zamora it's a rather small minority, but in Salamanca they're a very fringe movement), and most Leonese people will actually say they feel closer to Asturias than they do to Castille. In fact, this "birregionality" is what prevents the Junta (the autonomous community government... kind of) from officially declaring Valladolid as the capital, since it's not just a "Castille and León" thing, but also all other cities in C&L share a passionate disdain for Valladolid, and especially León. Like seriously, if you were a Vallisoletano (someone from Valladolid) visiting León, you better not say where you're from, and if you're from elsewhere and are visiting León and say you prefer Valladolid over León, you will be deported and declared a persona non-grata in my hometown. And also, NEVER EVER EVER call someone from León "Castilian". It's on the same page of calling a Franconian "Bavarian" or someone from Cornwall "English". Just... Don't. In fact my girlfriend often teases me by calling me "Castilian" so I just call her "Catalan" instead, so it's a tie.
    About other regions, Murcia is actually the butt of all jokes (people often even joke that Murcia doesn't even exist... and the fact that it was the only region where the far-right party Vox won there in the elections last week doesn't help), whereas Extremadura is seen as the rednecks nobody knows or even cares about too much, like all of Extremadura could be annexed tomorrow by Portugal and nobody would realise.
    People from Galicia are stereotyped to be very ambiguous ("they answer a question by asking another question") and also suspected to be sexually attracted to animals, especially goats and sheep (like Welsh in the UK, Sardinians in Italy and Kiwis internationally).
    People from Asturias are stereotyped to be drunkards (the Asturian anthem, "Asturias patria querida" is often sung by people while getting shitfaced drunk).
    Navarre is to the Basque Country what Canada is to the USA, or what Ireland is to the UK. Similarly, Valencia is the same to Catalonia. However, there are more and more people in Valencia who just acknowledge Valencian and Catalan are variants of the same language.
    However, there is something that unites us all: We cannot stand the arrogant attitude people from Madrid have. Like, they say their squid and calamari are the best in the world (which sea do they get them from... nobody knows).
    But people from Madrid actually believe seafood from Madrid beats out seafood from any actual coastal town in the world.

      Yes, the Canary Islands are named for dogs, when they conquered the island of Gran Canaria, they saw large dogs from there the island remains as Insula de Canes or what is the same Gran Canaria, and when they arrived at La Palma and Tenerife they saw that there were more dogs of smaller size, they went to the rest of the islands and there were also dogs to a lesser extent but there were then, Gran Canaria gave its name to the archipelago since the "Gran" was removed and added an "s" for plurality. "Canary Islands" or Canula Islands

      1. Spanish autonomous regions don't work like federal subjects. This is very deep but they are not that autonomous and the central power is very strong
      2. A monarchy can be federal. Look at Canada, Australia or Belgium.
      3. The USA perhaps is slowly becoming centralized but it's still the most important example of federalism in the world, and one of the most decentralized countries in the Earth

      It's not s federal state because the autonomies do not have sovereignty: this means they don't have their own judicial system and its regional institutions are not guaranteed by the constitution. They're granted by Congress on a LOE (national law). Congress can remove the autonomic institutions if they vote for it. This cannot happen on a federal nation.

    • @RealConstructor
      @RealConstructor 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      DanRyzESPUK Spain should give autonomy to the regions (Basque, Catalonia etc.) that want more autonomy, but only after consulting the people of that region. In this modern world you don’t suppress other nations, regions or provinces within your borders because you don’t want it or don’t like it or with the lame excuse that it is against the constitution. Then you change the constitution. That’s what Spain did with its colonies. They were also part of the central state but got independence. You give them the opportunity to have referendum within their borders, about being part of a central state or autonomy within Spain or independence from Spain. They have the right to self-determination if they want it.

      @@staringgasmask La patrona de la Hispanidad siempre fue la Virgen de Guadalupe, cuyo monasterio estuvo muy vinculado con los viajes de Colón y que además como sabemos arraigó mucho en México y América Latina. De hecho una de las primeras islas conquistadas por los españoles se llamó Guadalupe. Por otra parte la patrona de España (junto con Santiago) es la Inmaculada Concepción, por eso es festivo el 8 de diciembre. La Virgen del Pilar es la patrona, entre otras cosas, de Zaragoza, Aragón y la Guardia Civil, pero no de España ni de la Hispanidad, al menos no oficialmente ni históricamente. La relación de la Virgen del Pilar con la Hispanidad es en realidad simplemente una coincidencia de fechas que ha llevado a esta creencia bastante generalizada, pero que no cuenta realmente con oficialidad. Al fin y al cabo poco tuvo que ver el santuario de Zaragoza con Colón y el llamado "Descubrimiento". Originalmente El Pilar ni siquiera se celebraba el 12 de octubre, sino en enero, y como sabemos fue la Corona de Castilla la que conquistó América, mientras que la Virgen del Pilar era una advocación aragonesa.
