- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | We follow the trail pilgrims have trod for centuries, from the French border to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest corner of Spain. Along the way, we stop off in Pamplona to run with the bulls, and dive into the unique Celtic culture of Galicia - where Riverdance meets flamenco. #ricksteveseurope #ricksteves #spain

*SPAIN IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! I LOVE SPAIN!! LOVE FROM PORTUGAL TO OUR SPANISH BROTHERS!!!* 🇪🇸
un abrazo hermano! nos vemos en la mesa,con un buen bacalao regado con jatao
I walked EL CAMINO once. It was a wonderful experience.
How long did it take 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.
I remember looking at this video before the Camino. Now I am watching it three months after I walked! Best decision I ever made!
One of the best episodes. Thank you.
Rick, I just can’t explain how much these videos mean to me. Thank you so much for what you do.
Rick is amazing, not just his joy in visiting so many countries and cultures but taking part in whatever events are going on.
It was watching this episode that I learned of the Camino de Santiago four years ago, and decided that I must walk it, which I have.
I walked it in 35 days, not counting travel days.
I did no specific training for it. Anyone in decent shape can walk it under 40 days. Just carry as light a pack as you possibly can and wear good footwear.
I gave myself 5 weeks to walk the camino but did it in 24 days. It all depends on your abilities and how much you want to walk each day. I walked with no problem. You start to feel it after 25 klms. Your body tells you when to stop. You must take some rest days. To train, I walked in my city with my backpack. If you have hills or mountains to practice it's a good idea. The pilgrimage has about 3 mountain ranges to cross. It's very physical but your body gets stronger. It is an amazing experience. I met many people who became friends. You are always in the moment. It's physical, social, and then spiritual. I stop being religious after the camino (an atheist?). It certainly has an impact on you. Reaching Santiago was a let down. It's about the journey and not the destination. If you can go to Finisterre, you won't be disappointed. It was great to be by the sea. It's the cherry on top of the cake. Will do the camino Finisterre soon.
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 like many different countries within a country. In every region of Spain there's always something different, different people. It's not Just Flamenco.
You can say that about almost every country.
@@josecarranza7555 Not really. Take a look at Spain's neighbor: France. That country looks the same at all corners, all towns and cities look the same there.
@@Nutty151 Bruh 🤦🏻♂️
@@Nutty151this is a very biased comment. Different regions of France have their own unique history and characteristics. Compare normandy to alsace-lorraine for example
@@dukio-03 France just seems like a more culturally homogeneous country. Spain has been influenced by Carthaginians, Romans, Celts, Moors, etc. Whereas France has only been influenced by the Franks and only them. That's why the depth of culture in France is so shallow.
Superb cities! Superb people! I ran with the bulls when I was in my 20s. Salutations from, USA!
Walter Zambada Wanijuato whaaaat? your name is lambada I diot? LOL your parents must be from Guaniajuto, Mexico LOL LOL LOL
How was it?
Spain is not just only Flamenco,Paella and the beach.Spain is a country mixed with different cultures,language and architectures.Every region in Spain is different.
Spain sucks it rains everyother day. hate it
+Mark Lion in the North yes the rest of Spain no
+ogbkballa I'm in madrid now. thinking of going to the south. are you from Spain?
and history too. I love Spain's history so much.
+Acdragonrider Videos spain is one of the worst experiences I had.
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 .
An amazing journey crossing the trails of Northern Spain. Great overview!

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!!
Beautiful and inspiring episode!
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.
Differents regions, same country, SPAIN!! :-) :-) :-) Proud of the diversity of my country!! VIVA ESPAÑA!!! :-) :-) :-)
It's not all just for "entertainment".
Those bulls are not just regular bovines. They are the last remaining undomesticated wild cattle that once roamed the entire cost of the Mediterranean Sea from Iberia to the Levant. They require vast expanses of land to live on, and if it were not for bullfighting, none of the landowners that raise fighting bulls would keep them around.
If you ban bullfighting, then you will condemn the last undomesticated breed of cattle in Europe to extinction.
Is that what you want?
I’m especially referring to the US.
@Lawrance Ovarabia JAJAJA TALIBAN PEOPLE LIKE YOU GOING FROM COOL SOYS THE WORST, JOYING YOU FROM DEATH .. THINKING THAT YOUR CAUSE IS BETTER ,, YOU ARE A CRAZY .. PXIQUIATRA 654 327654
@Carlos Tomás Lis Tú no respondiste a nada de lo que dije. Mi justificación no tiene nada que ver con estereotipos, imbécil.
Tiene que ver con la variedad genética y la continuación de linajes salvajes en la especia bovina. Las corridas de toro han preservado estos linajes. Sin las corridas, no quedería nada de los genes de los «aurochs» (vacas salvajes que vivian a lo largo del Mediterraneo en la antigüedad).
WOW look at the sky at 18:46! As soon as he says "money, money, money"... lol
haha
whoa! what was that?!
Yeah !! Nice observation!!
Gorgeous videos, keep on travelling Rick, greetings from Belgium.
great video! you always explain these places in such a cool way
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.
couldnt have said it better.
Very cool! Look forward to my very own Camino later this year!
Wonderful documentary of CAMINO DE SANTIAGO . Compliments !
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 for these beautiful videos.
Loved this program and decided to record my Camino on BDE Travels in TH-cam.
Thank you Rick for this inspiring pilgrimage video. 🙏💒⛪
Rick, we love your programme, so we forgive you a few inaccuracies. Galego is not a mix of Spanish and Portuguese--they are three different languages. Portuguese and Galician are closely related, yet they are individual languages, not two dialects of one.
Un fact, Portuguese comes from Galician.
I agree with that, but he's trying to explain how galego sounds. Feel the diference between that and saying that euskera is a mix between Spanish and French, which makes no sense. Galego even with its own identity sounds like something in between Spanish and Portuguese, closer to Portuguese in my opinion.
el galego y el portugues parten del mismo tronco y despues cada uno evolucion por su lado, aunque sigue habiendo una gran similitud entre ambos...
!Exactamente! I even said "no, it's not" out loud while watching...alone. LOL
such an interesting and unique country! one of my favorites in Europe, besides la bella Italia and Greece!
I am Spanish, i am 64 year old, and i never benn to a bullfigtht. My friends do not like it either...... Spain is a charming country
De que region?
^YO SI HE IDO Y NO PASA NADA ..NO SOY MAS NI MENOS ..ODIO LAS PROHIBICIONES
@@omardelmar España es una maravilla
You don't know what you are missing. Besides,nthe vanquished bulls feed many needy people.
Leon's frescoes! Amazing, I did not know. Worth visiting for their own sake.
Fascinating, just fascinating! I must embark on the pilgrim myself one day! It looks like loads of fun!
Bitmaid Do it! It's amazing
The pilgrim way to composto in Spain a journey that I wished to have had the opportunity to have travelled along.I was able to go on aa Weekes pilgrimage to Northumberland in the 1970s.I also went to St David’s Cathedral in Wales for a pilgrim week such a blessing and time to reflect Ann Deakin from Warwick UK 28th November 2020
God Bless you Ann.
Love Rick Steves
Does it make me a bad person that I cheer for the bulls?
Charlie Gottschalk In my opinion, no. It's very cruel what they do to them!
Absolutely not! Its an art!
it doesnt make you a bad person, its just culture, nothing "bad" about running with bulls, what happens later... well, we all feel guilty :/
i do too!
@@115DELDE read your comment back and try and understand how deeply disturbed it is.
Love the music.
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.
Congrats on 1 million subs Rick =)
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!
Nice Insight Rick. Though you need to warn people it gets addictive!
Buen Camino! Thank you!
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
awesome adventure, cool video
Galician language is not a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish language, but the origin of present Portuguese language. It was in the 12 century when Galicia and Portucale split becaming two different counties. Both share medieval literature. :) cheers
Come to Kenya, I would love to show you around.
Splendid!
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.
Someday I will walk this route as a pilgrim.
The ancient and characteristic stone hut grows from the land. A mushroom, or a hat left on the trail. Cute!
They’re savages.
The sky at 18:49 freaked me the heck out lol
7:31 - Looks like they smashed some dude when closing the gate.
Ha ha ha, they don't notice him or just don't care. move it or lose it I guess lol
Rick, hats off if you manage to walk the 197 kms between Puente de la Reina (not pronounced Ri-ena, btw) and Burgos in five days. The average pilgrim will probably take about eight days.
¡¡¡¡¡¡VIVA ESPAÑA!!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Viva la castaña!!
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 .
Sí, la música del minuto 6,30 suena flamenca. Creo que es de Falla o de Granados. Buscar en el repertorio de Narciso Yepes o Regino Sáinz de la Maza.
MARIA Cebrecos Efectivamente es una obra de Granados: el movimiento “Asturias (Leyenda)” de la Suite española, Op. 47.
Es Asturias de Isaac Albéniz .
No es flamenco, es música clásica.
I'm thinking about if I should walk El Camino this year or in 2 years from now.
Amazing
It's a dream to do Camino. With Covid don't know future. But hope is something that should drive us towards future! :)
Go and walk it..forget of. Covid....
I am going next year to the running of the bulls, has anyone been there and what it is like?
This progam is very advisable before trip to the region of spain.
Can somebody please share the name of the music from the bullfight scene? Thank you 🙏🏻
7:31 Some were injured by the bulls but one by a fence
Nada más rico que un pulpito a la galega!
The flamenco is of Andalusia not of all Spain!!!
Teranido buen oido, si eso es flamenco tú eres camarón jajajajajaja.
Tampoco es de Andalucía, es de los gitanos...!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Enjoyed this, I’m Irish ☘️
we have a lot of celtic inheritance
Good job :)
Reminds me of the movie The Way
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!

Which date and town holds tomato festival?
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.
Que no es flamenco. Que es una mixtificación de música medieval, música antigua castellana. Que tenéis los oídos muy duros
en el norte reuimos del flamenco , aunque quieran poner este canto como de toda españa en el norte somos celtas y es esa musica la que nos eriza el pelo . sintiendolo mucho el flamenco para los andaluces y gitanos ...
Antonio no se porque hay que menospreciar a nadie. Siempre igual
@@antoniolado1440 En el Norte lo único celta que hay, son los celtas sin filtro y el celta de vigo, todo lo demás es ignorancia.
@@antoniolado1440 1 . No es un canto
2. Reuis los idiotas, aunque sea de la zona de Andalucia, un respeto haber si vamos a REUIR los demás de la muñeira y del chistu , p la jota burgalesa, etc los demás .
3. En efecto es de la parte de Andalucia, cosa que no se entera este personaje y su programa, pero eso no quiera decir que tengas que ESCUPIR con esa soberbia estupida de este bello folclore, gran folclore de otra tierra PALETO y te conste que ni soy andaluza ni gitana, racista de mierda.
@@antoniolado1440 Has visto los últimos estudios de ADN.... resulta que donde más ADN norte africano hay de toda la península precisamente es en Galicia. No me invento nada, se puede consultar. ADN en Europa. Fuera racismos y falsos mitos xd.
18:48 the clouds turn dark behind the man
Celtic culture in Spain is not just Galicia. Asturias, Cantabria, León and even the Basque Country also have Celtic heritage. And, of course, flamenco, bullfighting and paella have nothing to do with Northern Spain.
Pimianguero Navarra is northern Spain and bullfighting has a lot of tradition over there.
Bullfighting is related to all of Spain, north, south, east and west. The oldest running of the bulls registered, there may be older, is in Cuellar, Segovia, north of Spain. There are stone statues of bulls in the north of Spain thousand years old. The Celts that invaded the peninsula ended up mixing with the Iberian people and there was a mix of cultures. Portugal also has bullfights, though they do not kill the bull, as in the south of France. Flamenco is more from the south and paella is a traditional plate from Valencia.
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
lets go travel together!
The video would of went well with a native song of John Trudell - Rich man's War. Crazy Horse. Etc
Flamenco and South American music all through this beautiful documentary 😂😂😂
That guitar at 2:08 sounds nice
My science teacher was from Nothern Spain and had an Celtic complexion and did not look what many people in America think Spanish people looked.
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👍✌️

My Aunt is a Nun, who does our genealogy. She traced my ancestors to the Pyrenees. I live in Hawai'i.
How about now? 2022?
Wow its cool
Does anyone know the name of the Flamenco song @ 6:30?
vinceocratic It’s not a flamenco piece. It’s a work by classical composer Enrique Granados called “Asturias (Leyenda)”, which is extracted from his Suite española, Op. 47. The work was originally composed for piano, but its individual movements have become better known in guitar transcriptions.
Asturias, Isaac Albéniz
Y no es Flamenco.
I ❤Spain
What piece plays from 12:21 to 13:20
León Cathedral is the most important gothic cathedral in Spain, and you have not shown it inside. It's a shame.
Diría que no, no es ni la catedral gótica más grande (Sevilla), ni la más antigua gótica de España (Cuenca), ni la última gótica de España (Segovia). Eso sí, es de la más importantes pero no la que más
@@juancastelloterequena5354 junto con las catedrales de Toledo y Burgos, es la más importante desde el punto de vista artístico por sus líneas y vidrieras al estilo gótico francés. De hecho se pone como ejemplo del gótico español junto a las anteriores mencionas en los libros de arte. El tamaño es lo de menos.
five weeks?? 😨
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.
Asian tour next time, Mr. Steves
at some point in our history , they sent human gladiators into an arena to be killed by lions. it was entertainment and part of the culture at that time ... im sure we could call that ART too, maybe we should bring that back and put PEOPLE into an arena to be killed by lions ... and cut off their ear as a trophy.
i wonder how many people in the audience of this video above will volunteer for that noble role.
Spain has its distinct civilization which has not been noisily commercialized.
Rick Steve's, would it not be a better assertion if you would ask a large amount of people at the plaza to see whether they knew the meaning of the white and red attire, rather than just assuming "they don't know and they don't care"?
Incredible Mann all he was saying is it’s a party atmosphere and people aren’t there for a history lesson, frickin snowflakes everywhere
Nice summary of La Torre, although some Celtic music would have suited it better.
