Senor Rick, muchas gracias for the fab shows, I went to Spain for 2 years and stayed 8. Pamplona, los toros, many bullfights, the food, music, dance, people, sightseeing, all super. From Las Canarias to all of the coastal cities/pueblos and many interiors. Viva Espana!
Spain is my favorite travel destination because of its varied landscape ,stunning weather nearly all through the year, great culinary delights and nice and kind people .
Gracias por compartir este vídeo, en el que nos muestras el Camino de Santiago, los peregrinos que hacen la ruta jacobea tienen la oportunidad de contemplar los paisajes y monumentos como las catedrales de Burgos, León y todo el arte Románico de sus iglesias y fortalezas como el Castillo de los Templarios en Ponferrada etc..... Y al final contemplar la Catedral de Santiago en la plaza del Obradoiro.!!!Buen Camino!!!!
Thank you Rick for these videos,,ilove them alot,,wish i could travel the world and see these wonderful places,,the architecture of the buildings,food ,music, languages , history and culture,,,,,😀😍💕💯
León is a great town. Amazing destination for those who love tapas and typical food and also very joyful for young people. Don't miss it if you come to North West of Spain!!

It was so beautiful , I did not know about this pilgrimage or about this part of Spain ! The scenery the small towns and their Churches were oh so lovely . I will plan to visit this area on my next trip ! One of the best of your entire body of excellent shows.
Thanks Rick for your continuing tour of Spain. I want so much to make the pilgrimage to Northern Spain an the Camino de Sntiago. Your books have giving great motivation to not give up going there thanks again. Gods peace be with you in your travels.
I walked it in 35 days, not counting travel days. I did no specific training for it. Anyone in decent shape can walk it under 40 days. Just carry as light a pack as you possibly can and wear good footwear.
I gave myself 5 weeks to walk the camino but did it in 24 days. It all depends on your abilities and how much you want to walk each day. I walked with no problem. You start to feel it after 25 klms. Your body tells you when to stop. You must take some rest days. To train, I walked in my city with my backpack. If you have hills or mountains to practice it's a good idea. The pilgrimage has about 3 mountain ranges to cross. It's very physical but your body gets stronger. It is an amazing experience. I met many people who became friends. You are always in the moment. It's physical, social, and then spiritual. I stop being religious after the camino (an atheist?). It certainly has an impact on you. Reaching Santiago was a let down. It's about the journey and not the destination. If you can go to Finisterre, you won't be disappointed. It was great to be by the sea. It's the cherry on top of the cake. Will do the camino Finisterre soon.
Spain is not just only Flamenco,Paella and the beach.Spain is a country mixed with different cultures,language and architectures.Every region in Spain is different.
Pure art ! Pura arte ! Que Vivan los toros y los toreros OLÉ ! Steve , you have to have passion and real red blood . Peru has the best Torero in the world Roca Rey .
Rick Steves Europe has been my favorite program (or favourite programme) for many years now. It has helped me help Canadian friends plan a honeymoon, myself to travel around Europe (although it's been much too long since I've been back) and for my parents to plan their European holidays to Eastern Europe, Italy, and now this year, France. Thanks Steve! PS. I know your company keeps saying you really don't need tour guides for Finland as it's not a popular destination but I know with the right marketing the hidden gem that is Finland could become one. :) I spent 11 glorious, but cold, months there.
Spain is like many different countries within a country. In every region of Spain there's always something different, different people. It's not Just Flamenco.
@@josecarranza7555 Not really. Take a look at Spain's neighbor: France. That country looks the same at all corners, all towns and cities look the same there.
@@Nutty151this is a very biased comment. Different regions of France have their own unique history and characteristics. Compare normandy to alsace-lorraine for example
@@dukio-03 France just seems like a more culturally homogeneous country. Spain has been influenced by Carthaginians, Romans, Celts, Moors, etc. Whereas France has only been influenced by the Franks and only them. That's why the depth of culture in France is so shallow.
The pilgrim way to composto in Spain a journey that I wished to have had the opportunity to have travelled along.I was able to go on aa Weekes pilgrimage to Northumberland in the 1970s.I also went to St David’s Cathedral in Wales for a pilgrim week such a blessing and time to reflect Ann Deakin from Warwick UK 28th November 2020

The Video's title" The Camino de Santiago" was created by sheer faith, visible sacrifice (walking thousands of miles from far away countries w no nike shoes, convenience stores). Not just to hike for fun like many do today but as an expression of pilgrims penance & enduring faith Faith in belief that miracle St. James/ remains appeared where? In Padron (originally but due to heathens pilaging) moved then to Santiago both places in Northern Spain (also title of this video) Pilgrims would die on the camino, it was a testament of their faith. I am sure there were non believers then as well but that is where Jesus comes into ones life and James is still his apostle and Patron Saint of Spain.Good for you Steve for not leaving out or forgetting what it is all about to please others (a very pilgrim like trait) ! El Camino will still be around even after we are gone.
Rick, we love your programme, so we forgive you a few inaccuracies. Galego is not a mix of Spanish and Portuguese--they are three different languages. Portuguese and Galician are closely related, yet they are individual languages, not two dialects of one.
I agree with that, but he's trying to explain how galego sounds. Feel the diference between that and saying that euskera is a mix between Spanish and French, which makes no sense. Galego even with its own identity sounds like something in between Spanish and Portuguese, closer to Portuguese in my opinion.
Great doc! The only thing I would say is that we Galicians say "pulpo á feira" or "polvo á feira", not "pulpo a la gallega". The latest is how non-Galicians call it, obviously. In Galician it would be galega anyways, not gallega. Gallego/a is in Spanish, not Galician. Apart of that, even I learnt some staff from the video!
By the way, a scene from the movie "Juan y Junior...En Un Mundo DIferente" (Which stars the legendary 60s Spanish pop duo, Juan y Junior) was filmed outside the Cathedral at the end. 24:08
Galician language is not a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish language, but the origin of present Portuguese language. It was in the 12 century when Galicia and Portucale split becaming two different counties. Both share medieval literature. :) cheers
The incense burner served to purify the air of the stench of thousands of very dirty and sweaty pilgrims ... before showers and deodorant were invented! Incense is a naturally strong anti-inflammatory, expectorant and pain killing remedy.
I love your videos Rick, but once again I'll have to point out yet another mistake: gallego language is a Spanish regional language, correct, but it's not a mixture of Spanish and portuguese, at all. In fact, both gallego and portuguese languages share the very same Ibero-romance roots. On another note, I'd love you to talk about the regional languages and dialects in other european countries as well, which you never do when visiting them: 11 in France, 16 in Italy and no less than 53 in Germany.
@Carlos Saraiva not at all...they are languages, not regional varieties of the same language. You are deeply desinformed, try to educate yourself before saying chorradas.
También ai que recordar que desde 1388, el título de Principe de Galicia-Asturias se ha utilizado para los herederos de los tronos y reinos. De reyes castellanos y españoles que viene siendo de todo España 👑🤴👸, y saludos para la familia Rios#1👍✌️
As Spaniard i have to say.... the choosen music was unfortunate for this chapter, it was a pity the amount of time wasted on the Pamplona's running bulls and how overviewed was the whole rest of the places in the way. OK in such short time it is difficult to compress everything in one program. Nevertheless, the program was nicely done.
LA MUSICA NO ES FLAMENCO ES MUSICA MEDIEVAL .... escuchas una guitarra y al momento te viene los prejuicios ,,, no es flamenco es musica tradicional castellana de medievo ,tranquila
the Southern Spanish guitars and flamenco themes gave me cancer. Thank you Rick Stevens! I hope to hear Dixie music in your future New-England Documentaries!
@@jgjg26 Los del sur qué culpa tienen de que su mierdosa música sea conocida en el resto del mundo. La de otras regiones de España me encanta, incluso la Isa de cuya zona de España me han puesto a parir por decir, en otros comentarios, desde donde escribo.
I love alll your videos. But for this one I should choose another type music. Spain is so rich in music, and dances. The folklore in the north, the music and the instruments are completely different than in the south.
Celtic culture in Spain is not just Galicia. Asturias, Cantabria, León and even the Basque Country also have Celtic heritage. And, of course, flamenco, bullfighting and paella have nothing to do with Northern Spain.
Bullfighting is related to all of Spain, north, south, east and west. The oldest running of the bulls registered, there may be older, is in Cuellar, Segovia, north of Spain. There are stone statues of bulls in the north of Spain thousand years old. The Celts that invaded the peninsula ended up mixing with the Iberian people and there was a mix of cultures. Portugal also has bullfights, though they do not kill the bull, as in the south of France. Flamenco is more from the south and paella is a traditional plate from Valencia.
@@Pleittor No, sir. Bullfighting has never been a tradition in the Canary Islands, where I come from. Thank God. For me, they are a barbaric custom that should be abolished, no matter how "artistic" or some kind of "'cultural' heritage" some might consider that to be. I love Spain, but hideous Spanish custom ashames me; and I guess that nowadays it ashames most of Spaniards as well.
Diría que no, no es ni la catedral gótica más grande (Sevilla), ni la más antigua gótica de España (Cuenca), ni la última gótica de España (Segovia). Eso sí, es de la más importantes pero no la que más
@@juancastelloterequena5354 junto con las catedrales de Toledo y Burgos, es la más importante desde el punto de vista artístico por sus líneas y vidrieras al estilo gótico francés. De hecho se pone como ejemplo del gótico español junto a las anteriores mencionas en los libros de arte. El tamaño es lo de menos.
Well Rick, Galician language is a mix of "Spanish and Portuguese"? No! Galician is Galician, which languege is older than Spanish, Castellano, and Portuguese. The latter derives from Galician as does Portugal, thus cannot be like Portuguese, as it would be Portuguese is like Galician. You normally have correct information, but these kind of comments are quite shocking.
Having walked the Camino de Santiago several times, this by far is my favorite Rick Steve's Europe episode. Unfortunately they don't show it very often on the PBS channels where I live. They seem to show all the other episodes about Spain except for this one. I can only assume it's because of the segments involving the bullfights and the San Fermin bull runs. PBS being the PC gutless wonders they can be at times, surely caved in to whiners who cried foul. Fortunately I can watch it here.
Gallego IS NOT a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese, like it is said in the video, it is a roman language as well as Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, Portuguese or Romanian. You should take a look into it and maybe correct that mistake by posting a message here. Thank you.
Hopefully I'll be trecking the Camino next year, at age 66. I love Rick Steves and am glad to have come across this episode.
Did u go?
*SPAIN IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! I LOVE SPAIN!! LOVE FROM PORTUGAL TO OUR SPANISH BROTHERS!!!* 🇪🇸
I remember looking at this video before the Camino. Now I am watching it three months after I walked! Best decision I ever made!

Celtic culture in Spain is not just Galicia. Asturias, Cantabria, León and even the Basque Country also have Celtic heritage. And, of course, flamenco, bullfighting and paella have nothing to do with Northern Spain.
