As someone from Santander, I cannot thank you enough for showing my country in such a respectul and elegant manner. This type of tourism is what we need, and not what we usually get. As you discovered, Spain has a massive amount of hidden jewels scattered everywhere. If you decide to come back, or someone watching this video decides to come here, do not hesitate in contacting me, as there are still many places to visit and foods (cheap) to discover!. PS1: appreciate your efforts when it comes to pronouncing!. PS2: Bardenas Reales where also a set for Game of Thrones!
Thanks so much Jimmy! I'll definitely let you know if/when I return and have pinned your comment so anyone else who's thinking about visiting can see too. Muchas gracias!
Hi Jimmy, i will definitely come with my husband next year . Can you message me a ten day itinerary for a fit couple in their 50’s? We love walking in nature, the ocean and food and wine. We also love architecture but not museums and churches- more quaint villages with good food. Also where is a good place to invest? Say 5 acres not too isolated and not too far from the ocean. Rolling green hills and close to a lively village. We are looking for somewhere to semi retire. Muchas Grazias !
@@debtaylor8664 choose a village close to Costa da morte, Ponteceso, for example. Savage and outstanding cliffs, insane inland landscape and relative proximity to the medium city of Coruña, with a warm temperature in summer, 23-25 C. And the Galician lenguage spoken here is authentic, with a melodic,lyric, soft a tender voice.
Exist a trek along six days that walk along the coastal shore to visit the villages and the lighthouses. It's named "O camiño dos faros" (lighthouse's way) you may watch here

@@debtaylor8664 I think you got confused. I don’t think Jimmy is a free tourism consulting agency.
Its not a country, but you can say homeland (tierra). Spain has different regions.
Damn it, now you have discovered the secret. Northern Spain is where we the spaniards go on vacation. We have surrender the south and the coast to the british, french and german, please keep the north as our sanctuary.
Rias Bajas for life!
Northern Spain is what urban spaniards INVADE every summer. And "peripheral" (aka, second class Spaniards") have to put up with it....
@@honestguy7764 home carallo rias baixas mandan
It's a secret, but we still have hidden corners where massive tourism has not arrived yet. And I prefer it that way so please don't ask for location
Not all spaniards, clever spaniards do.
Bella la Spagna.. abrazos desde Italia
Così bella e piena di brava gente come l'Italia ... Come diciamo noi: españoles e italianos primos hermanos (spagnoli e italiani cugini-fratelli) Un abbraccio dalla Spagna ai nostri fratelli transalpini...
@Saco de Huesos Siempre! Fui muchas veces EN Espana y pase momentos de oro. Mi piace molto la Spagna
@Saco de Huesos No se olviden de su prima lejana Argentina 😜 🇪🇸🇮🇹🇦🇷
@@Jonalexher no hace falta decirlo hermano , cualquier argentino que viva en españa te lo confirmará. Argentinos hermanos siempre! Saludos.

Spain is probably the most beautiful place on earth.
without a doubt, it has everything
Thank you!
Yes!!! ♥️ 💯 👍
yes, i live in spain and is soooo beautiful in my opinion 😍🦌
And safest
España tiene sol, nieve, montañas, una gastronomía increíble. Un gran país con un pueblo extraordinario y unos nefastos políticos
Igual que argentina! O bueno toda Latinoamérica...
Y Desiertos
Pues hasta donde yo se los políticos españoles son también españoles no extraterrestres. Es la cultura no los políticos.
@@rubend.c.1287 La mayoría de políticos de españoles poco tienen, 0 respeto o identidad por la nación
No podía faltar el típico comentario populista. La verdad es que los paisajes que tenemos son increíbles al igual que la gastronomía, sin duda la mejor del mundo, pero eso de un pueblo extraordinario permíteme que lo dude bastante. Y los políticos lo son porque ese pueblo tan extraordinario que dices los vota, no están ahí por gracia divina, a excepción del Rey.
¡Que sepamos conservar esta otra España, porque la Mediterránea nos la hemos cargado a base de bien a cambio de dinero! cántabros, vascos, asturianos, gallegos. ¡Qué suerte tenéis!. Un beso a todos desde Barcelona.
Que no se toque un prau (prado)más.....
Desde Cantabria un beso a la bella Barcelona.
No wonder most of Game of Thrones was filmed in many different places of Spain, the beauty and variety of the landscapes is breathtaking. I can't wait for them to come back to shoot House of the Dragon.
Very similar to Ireland. Beautiful country Spain & beautiful people.
And we, the spanish people like Ireland and irish people, we feel close to you.
Well done, Brian. I've lived in Spain in the past, visited many times since, and plan to live there again soon. We love the country and the people. We have "un montón" of friends and chosen family in Spain.
thanks Kirt!
Pleased to have you here friend
Happy to hear you feel Spain as home. Thanks for appreciating it, regards
Welcome dear Kirt!🤗
As someone who wants to live there, having fallen madly in love with it on visits in 2018 and 2019, I don't know how the Spaniards ever left it to come find us in America. I'm eternally grateful to them for doing so, however. We were behind you in November 2019, and did quite a bit of the same trip you did - going from Barcelona past the Pyrenees into the most gorgeous wild landscapes I've ever seen, and I'm in California! The food - so artisan and delish, and their wines - blew us away too, as did the warmth and friendliness of the people. Viva la Espana!
Thank you Dear Sharon.🙋
California was part of Spain for centuries, glad you had the chance to come and enjoy it. Many US people think that British gave the main heritage to US, when that's very far from being true. Viva Californa y Viva España!
Thank you very much, Sharon. You will always be welcome.
Thanks for your appreciating my country. You will be always welcome
Thank you!
Two weeks ago i was in bed, seriously ill from Covid-19. I was watching this video and somehow it made me feel better. Now i am recovered i watched the video again with my wife and we decided what our next vacation will be: 2 weeks north Spain by car. Thank you for the inspiring and beautiful video.
very cool! Glad to hear you're doing better. Enjoy Spain when you make it that way.
I am Spanish, and Northern Spain is definitely not the Spain no one sees, it’s just the part of Spain that isn’t marketed to tourists from the UK or the US, because they want to see bulls and flamenco... glad you discovered this slice of paradise, my plan is to live in Asturias as soon as the restrictions for Coronavirus are lifted!
Not flamenco, but bulls are as traditional in a great part of Northern Spain as in the South. Not really in Asturias and Galicia, which are an exception within Spain indeed, but really traditional in the Basque Country, with very vibrant specific local traditions such as this ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokamuturra ). And same for the running of the bulls in Pamplona, which is also in the north. People often think that Basques are some kind of "extraterrestrials" with an alien language, but in some respects they're closer to Spanish stereotypes as found abroad than Galicians and Asturians.
I’m drawn to this area. Hopefully will be there next year.
Alli en Asturias de Flamenco NO , al igual que en Galicia, Pais Vasco ,Cataluña , Castilla-Leon. No flamenco.
Bueno, quieren sol, calor y agua templada en la playa. Esa es la razón. Eso quieren todos los europeos de países, tristes, lluviosos, brumosos , húmedos, fríos y nevados 6 meses al año. No exactamente ver toros y flamenco, que es distinto.😊
Bull fighting is an absolutely barbaric custom. When I visit Spain it is certainly NOT to see bulls!
Galicia is so beautiful! Lots of love from your neighbour and brother Portugal!
It feels just like home when I’m in Portugal. Beautiful place with the nicest people. Bicos desde Galicia.
Spain, so many different landscapes!
Little Europe.
Northern is very cloudy and raining
Actually Spain in a group of several "not-independent" countries...
@@diogorodrigues747 Says who? you?
@@REM-gd5zg Don't you see it?
Spain is so beautiful, great place, best person’s. We are very welcome. I’m living out of Spain and i missing so much my country. I love you Spain 🇪🇸
Thanks you!!😊
Spain,the best country in Europe so far!
definitely one of my favorites :) I think my personal favorite (so far) has to be Slovenia though, at least for travel.
France just a few kilometers away isn’t too bad neither ;)
It has only one big problem. It is full of Spaniards.
@@lasgosteiner826 What's happen with Spaniards?
@@lasgosteiner826 Silly comment from a moron... Obviously not Spaniard
I'm from Cantabria and I loved your video. No foreign person believes me when I tell them how different Northern Spain is, I'll show them this from now on. Thank you for coming!
LOL, I'm from a little village next to Urederra (the source he visited the 9th day) and I have the same problem you do. I live in Belgium now, and they all have this idea of a fully sunny and beach-y Spain, they have no clue what they're missing...
I live in Germany now, being from Santander myself, and I keep explaining everybody there that Spain is so much varied than the idea Germans have, which is limited to Mallorca and the Mediterranean... they get surprised every time when I show them pictures of the north xd
Hey is it dangerous for solo girls backpacking? To go there
Don't I like it that no one knows it, let them go to Andalucia ;)
@@hellesylt9770I know that you comment that 1 year ago. But in general is secure.
People don't believe you when you tell them that in the north we have lots of rain, snow, mountains, forests, etc.
Pd: greetings from the basque country
Gora Euskadi!
Como bien ha dicho otro comentario por aquí, le hemos cedido el sur a los guiris y el norte es nuestro secreto.
¡San Sebastián capital del mundo y Zarautz la sucursal!
It’s named Costa Verde for a reason👍
And the best milk products!
Aww Santander and Liebana!! I cried!! I miss it soooooo much!
Thanks for referring Liebana, I just check through google map. A stunning place, mark and be there
And do u know the place which appeared in video 27:25, stream with purely green water.
@@devin97 It is in Navarra... I have never been there... yet! Food in Pamplona is a must so it is in my wish list! And I also love the cider and wine they make there! The place in particular is called "Nacedero del Urederra" (which is the point where the Urederra river starts) :)
Wow, parts of Spain don't look like how I perceived the country. It's simply beautiful and a real treasure.
It´s probably because the stereotype of Spain is Andalusia, and people who only visit the Mediterranean coast find it difficult to understand that 83% of Spaniards are not Andalusian. For us Spaniards, the sound of the Asturian bagpipe is as typical Spanish as the flamenco guitar.
I recommend that you visit the north, but don´t forget the umbrella, you may need it more than sunscreen.
@@nomecreona3829 Thx for the advice! It's funny, I live in Vancouver, Canada and rain is all we get! But I know what you mean, everyone thinks we all live in igloo's or cabins here in the Great White North.......but we don't. Lol! Take care.....
@@athenassigil5820
Probably stereotypes create false perceptions. I was born in the Basque Country in northern Spain in a town that is located at the same latitude as Toronto . According to meteorological data, it rains 185 days a year on average. I have seen heavy snowfall in winter every year since I was a child, although I suppose it won't be as big as in Canada because the Gulf Stream tends to warm winters in western Europe compared to North America. But if you ask an average Brit who always comes to spend the summer on the Mediterranean coast in Spain, they will tell you that all of Spain is very sunny. That is why every year when a great snowfall occurs in some part of northern Spain (that is, every year), if you read the British press they talk about climate change and many people are very surprised because they have the wrong idea of that Spain is a country with a climate similar to the tropical one. That's why they don't believe me when I explain that in my city, it rains three times more than in London and that's why sometimes you can see funny scenes like this, usually starring British tourists.
th-cam.com/video/rC2jQH0Ek0I/w-d-xo.html
By the way, if you listen to what the BBC journalist says in the video, he repeats the false stereotype that this climate is exceptional for Spain, which is totally false. Another future victim :O)
@@nomecreona3829 Your comment is implicitly derogatory. Andalusia is simply beautiful and a real treasure. North-Spaniards have their own sterotypes about Andalusia. My land keeps its own secrets for many Northerners who usually underrated it, They think here's only flamenco, sun and bulls. For example, Doñana Park, one of the most important natural protected areas in Europe. The mountains in Huelva and Sevilla. Grazalema in Cádiz and Málaga, where it most rains of Spain and second in Europe. Sierra Nevada, in Granada, the tallest mountain in Spain's peninsula, always snowed. Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas in Jaén y Córdoba. Tabernas desert in Almeria, the biggest in Europe. Now, let's talk about culture, history, architecture, ....
@@joanhibu6682 My comment has nothing derogatory against Andalusia, which by the way is a land that I love and that has contributed a lot to the history and culture of Spain like many other less popular regions of the country. I simply state a fact, a large part of the tourists do not even appreciate the culture or the architecture of Andalusia, they only look for sun, beach and cheap beer. Ask most of the British expats who have created their own gettos and although they have lived in Spain for decades, they do not speak a word in Spanish and are absolutely interested in nothing about our culture.
As a Spaniard living in the States, thank you for your video. We have a well-known country, but with hidden gems across it. Because of Covid, I couldn't go to Spain for my holidays and you brought me there for 30 min.
ahh thanks Jose! Glad you enjoyed :) It's an amazing place.
I’m a jazz musician from New York who moved to Madrid. When I take international friends on tour here, they are always awestruck by everything in the north. It’s incredible. Well done!
As a northern Spaniard who's been away from home for more than a year due covid and doesn't look like it's going to be able to visit anytime soon I just can say: thank you!
This video just gave me so much morriña and reminded me how wonderful it is
And "saudade" too...
I can understand your situation and only one thing i would suggest. This pandemic has thought an important lesson too. Make the most of the place you currently live in as you can travel freely within there, before you return to spain. Take lots of pics, videos, information, trips, foods and you will one day miss this too. All the best.
Im also a northern Spaniard. But also English and live here I miss it so much - very underrated :)
@@sanakiddy2883 don't feel like I'm returning to live there til my elderly days, really nice place but def no job opportunities to grow in there. Love to go on holidays as much as I can tho
@@aishajm1103 I knowwww!!! But I feel it's better that way, I would not like it to be full of tourists as other places in Spain
I am from Burgos, Castilla y León and the way you showed that unrecognizable part of Spain is amazing... Tourist tend to think of Spain that everything just paella and fiesta.
👍💪🏽💯
I never thought Spain is beautiful as this. Northern Spain is enchanting!
I am from Galicia.. thank you so much for showing the world my beautiful homeland. I love that you showcased the natural beauty and the area's culinary gifts. Simply beautiful! #missinghome

excellent report, it moved me, 12 million British people travel to Spain every year, some ask how such fidelity and love to a foreign nation is possible, words are not enough, images speak, Spain is that beautiful girl for whom you lose your head. love to spain from london.🇪🇦
Love Spain!!!, been to different parts but I always go back to the North, Euskadi and Galicia!. I went to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe before I even knew about Game of Thrones lol. Thanks for the great memories and loved your photos too!.
Never knew Spain was so beautiful. Nice trip and great video Brian.
Yeah apparently it's quite the diverse country. I had no idea until shortly before I went either. Highly recommended.
In my region (Aragon) you can have a ride on camel in a real desert and 104 F in Monegros desert. And 40 km to the north you can have another ride on a sled on the snow between the forests
@@henhaooahneh Amazing. There are a few spots here in the US that are varied in that way. What Brian showed in this video was beautiful for sure.
@@arielsalazar8542 The older I get and the more I travel, I have found that each country has a unique beauty all its own as well as its own variety of unattractive problem areas. As an American citizen, I can tell you that the USA is no different in either respect. I can also tell you that no matter which countries I have visited, I find the results of a small number of miscreants who leave trash in pristine areas, spray graffiti on ancient stones, or choose to scar the beauty there. I would hope that each of us is committed not to be one of those people and strive to reduce their influence.
Beautiful and incredibly diverse. In my small "comunidad autónoma" (kind of micro-state) castles appart we have a desert and a wet Atlantic forest very close between them, around 60 kilometers. You'll be surprised to get Arizona and New Hampshire together. Google for "Bardenas Reales" and "Selva de Iraty". Good contrast.
I agree. Galicia haunts me in a good way. I am trying to make my way back for good. The road I walked beckons my soul to return to make it my home. Still trying since 2019, perhaps in 2023, I pray. Thank you for sharing, I live there virtually.
So beautiful. I wished I had discovered my desire to go to Spain early on in my life. I visited in 2019, and I can't get Spain out of my head. It's the country of my ancestors and it is calling me to return. The Canary island of Tenerife is magnificent. I met over 11 relatives. Andalusia is deeply rooted with family as well as Portugal. I am so delighted when I view these videos. So happy you are doing what your heart is calling you to do. Yes, it's pretty amazing. Live life.
If someone wants to know, the bright water place its called "Urederra" (literaly beautiful water in basque)
That first mountain region with the animals and bells looks so much like Switzerland!
Even on an island as small as Mallorca you can find mountains, beaches and cities. Imagine how the entire Iberian Peninsula can be! 500,000 km2 of truly varied nature, and in certain places dramatically depopulated.
Really good dude
oh shit thanks! Definitely watched your Tokyo super vlog right before this trip, if that wasn't obvious...
I'm here because of Kraig Adams Channel's recommendation.
Thank you, Kraig
I hope you stay healthy
I always look forward to your videos
warm greetings from Indonesia
Kraig, you should do this trail, it is in the West of Asturias (North Coast Spain) the most extensive coastal itinerary GR-E9 in the north of Spain has been completed, extending from Barayo to Vegadeo through about 89 kilometers.

Omg you've been to Santander my hometown 😍😍finally someone goes thereee
España, esa nación que tiene rincones impresionantes, con paisajes tan distintos de unos lugares a otros, campos eternos, montañas imposibles, ciudades y pueblos preciosos, alimentos y gastronomía deliciosos, playas infinitas, gentes acogedoras. España es única.
As a Spaniard from the south, I strongly suggest visiting northern Spain. Nicest people, best food and scenery.
Love your video. Cantabria, Asturias y Galicia are my favorite parts of Spain. At times can be crowded and touristy, but the majority are Spanish tourists. I often stay at a rural tourism hotel near Praia das Catedrais and it can be very crowded, tour buses and cars filling the lots. There are so many isolated and near deserted beaches all along the coast. Just take a road heading toward the ocean and you will likely find your own beaches. Thanks for helping me virtually visit the North!
España es un país de muchos tipos de culturas unificadas bajo una misma bandera, tiene muchos tipos de paisajes y climatológicas, muchas culturas diferentes y tipos de comida dependiendo en que zona estés, es un país unico en el mundo.
This video brought me to tears. Thank you for showing us a side of Spain most visitors don't & just how absolutely precious & breathtaking our planet is.
I've never fallen in love with a place over the internet before; this is new.
Every time I get stressed, I'm going to watch this. Your views are going to skyrocket lol.
Are all of the details in the description? I now have a bucket list ❤
Pero qué país más bonito tenemos!!!😁
Totalmente, no lo apreciamos lo suficiente.
Precioso❤️🇪🇸
Spain is a pretty big country, and there are a lot of different kinds of landscapes and ecosystems. From north to south, and from east o west you’ll be able to find many jewels.
Thanks for sharing in such a gorgeous way our country.
Dont reveal it for everyone ;)! Asturias is the secret eden garden bro! We already missin u from here, I feel really greatful for this AMAZING video. Its magnificent that people like you get to know our land, love from here!!
Asturias is gorgeous! I visited some friends from Oviedo and Gijon. People have no idea how special and magical it is!!!
So beautiful, makes me nostalgic for the days I lived in La Rioja teaching English.
As a southern spaniard (Córdoba) I must say northen Spain is one of the best part of Spain. I just love It and hope to go up there again after Covid

@@nso5625 Really????OMGGGGG thanks so much for this message, never thought english speaking people watch my videos haha
This is what people say "heaven on earth"...Literally spain is so amazing
"Dude I'm in Spain" I felt that. Great video!!
I lived in Spain and spent considerable time on the Northern coast..incredibly beautiful, magical and mystical....the secret is out !!! Thanks for sharing! ...also you did a beautiful job and i love the music...well done brother!!!
Amazing work!! Most people picture Spain as the somewhat archetypical mediterranean Spain, the east and the south, and leave out the north.
It's like travelling into a completely different country.
PS: Puxa Asturies!!
It’s very different from the rest of the country. Far more authentic (and photogenic) than the rest of the country.
Basque person here (from near San Sebastian, absolutely recommend you to visit the city and the nearby nature). I am really glad to find such a beautiful and well-done documentary about the astonishing beauty of the northern Spanish coast. Awesome work!!!
This video is so underrated, just as northern Spain is. Gracias Brian for taking this amazing shots and sharing them with the world:)
A few years ago I was doing a "GOT" tour (started in Iceland) and met a friend for a northern Spain tour including San Sebastian & Bilbao. Our taxi driver offered a day trip to Gaztelugatxe with a stop for lunch in Guernica (also art enthusiasts). It was fun to walk out on the rocky pathway to "Dragonstone". The landscape with amazing with unique "rock worms" that form up the cliffs. I was so thrilled to see this part of Spain, which I've toured north to south, and the incredible Basque country. I now understand why they are so proud. On a personal note - I've been vegetarian for most of my life and the ONLY time I broke that was in Spain to taste the Iberian ham. Almost turned me... :D
I love asturias,galicia, cantabria and euskadi but you need to visit the northeast too. So many beautiful and different places in catalonia are waiting for you!
SPAiN ¡ BEAUTIFUL!
This made me cry, I so long to be in Spain. Beautiful, thank you.
There are endless places in the world with this much amazing views, but because Spain and Portugal are my roots, I am partial to these countries. I can't imagine I want to be anywhere else in the world besides with my loved ones, but wish we could share this magnificence with them all.
Awesome!! No need to feel bad about saying the Ruta del Río Cares is the best route in Spain, it is. I've done it a few times and Los Picos de Europa from Asturias, Cantabria and León. I decided to move to Spain from the UK so I can do hiking like this more often. I live in sunny Andalucía and 16 years on loving it.
Gracias, ha sido una mirada muy poética y hermosa de mi país. Vuelve pronto! 🤩💞
I know I'm a bit late to the party but man. I was born and raised in Asturies, and I've been just blown away by this heart-warming and incredibly respectful portrayal of my homeland and my dear neighbors from Galiza, Cantabria and Euskalherria. If you ever go back to Asturies and want to explore it further than Picos de Europa, try la Playa de Gavieiru and/or Bufones de Pría, you are not going to believe the sights, the food, the people. I know I am biased being the land I grew up in but man, it's just different gravy.
Once time I saw a video about bufones de pria, the waves beating against the rock was stunning
Thank you, thank you very much for showing my land, my cradle, my house, Cantabria. Also thank you for showing my neighbors to the North. It is important for us that the things we have here, our mountains, our sea, our cuisine and our customs are spread throughout the world.
Are we a little wild? Perhaps, the climate, and the harsh orography of the terrain has marked us, but we were always noble of heart and good people, we are open to outsiders who come to visit us with education and good manners and I will give you the best that I have in my house when you are my guest, that you already are.
We did the North of Spain a couple of years ago, it is absolutely amazing!
Proud of my "hispanity", even when I was born in Southamerica.

Wow, Spain is magnificent, and magical.... both the natural, and built environment.
You are so sensitive, and connected, an “at one” with the natural environment surrounding you...... and your photography shows that! Thank you for taking us along on your journey.......
What a cool guy.
Wow, thank you! Lots more coming soon :)
thank you so much for showing my homeland (Galicia) in such a beautiful way. Great video and great photos. I'm glad you've enjoyed your stay here!
Just so you know Praia das Catedrais in the the province of Lugo, not in A Coruña. It's really beautiful, but, as you've said, too much crowded now. When I was a little girl it was like a hidden gem.
Galicia has a lot more to offer, believe me. Ribeira Sacra for example if what you enjoy is nature and landscapes. However, cities are beautiful too. My soft spot is Lugo (where I am from), but Ourense and Pontevedra are beautiful too. A Coruña and Santiago are more famous maybe, and they truly deserve a visit.
Hope it's not the last time you visit us. If you come back and want some information, please, just ask. I'll be thrilled to help you in any way I can.
Thanks Noelia! I'll definitely be back again someday :)
Thank you with gratitude and respect.

i am SO glad that the first thing i see in the video is "north of spain". i baptized that area of the world as one of my Homes, planning to be there many many manymore times. Thanks for bringing justice to such a paradise, with also super kind and smiling people
I’m from Mexico so I’m used to see diverse landscapes in a single country. But when I went to Spain I was amazed on the variety of views and ecosystems I was able to see. And I just traveled the North and Center of the country, I need to go back and explore the South though.
E incluso una región engaña pareciendo pequeña. Estoy pensando en Galicia, tan agazapada como parece, distante respecto a las costas mediterráneas y encima de Portugal, no podrías imaginarte que las es la tierra con mayor longitud costera en la península ibérica, más incluso que Portugal.
Pd:si estás pensando bajar al sur, a Andalucía, me haría ilusión que contactaras conmigo.
I am from here and I think your pictures really captures the beauty of Galician nature and it's characteristic coulours. It feels surreal that you noticed the little things we love like "fentos/fieitos" (the little sort of wild greens? reflecting on the river) I really love them, thank you
El Norte de España es precioso, tiene todo , aunque vivo en las Islas Canarias amo el norte
I have lived abroad for 10 years now and seeing the Spain I remember from my childhood has brought back such vivid memories to me... Whilst I am originally from Salamanca (still something pretty different from the typical mediterranean tourism kinda stereotype), my dad would bring us to the north of Spain on holidays to avoid the summer heat, and I'd usually go on summer camps to Picos de Europa or Pirineos too, but I have not been there in a long while now... I miss it so much, and I am glad there is people willing to explore what is to me the most beautiful landscape in the country. I love northern Spain. Also, you have made such a delicate video, it was very emotional to me. So thank you! the video was like being there with you. Michi
So glad you showed a part of Spain that is many times forgotten!!! So glad you liked Navarra with the Bardenas Reales and the Nacedero de Urederra (which literally means in Basque “beautiful water”)
So happy this went viral enough for me to see it. Beautiful, I’ve always been fascinated by northern Spain.
I want to visit spain love from India 🇮🇳
Some real wonders in Spain few people know outside the country. There's more in our country than what's typically promoted. And northern food! You can eat a lot and well.
Beautiful Spain, incredible landscapes. Bravy sea, amazing food.
As a Southern Spanish citizen I gotta say your video is AWESOME and made me wanna travel to the North and explore. Thanks!! Loved it and suscribed!
Un ole para Cantabria!
I will have to go back and see more of Spain... Love from Australia
Beautiful video and photos Brian, now you understand why so many Spaniards felt “morriña” (homesick) of their homeland when they had to emigrate by thousands back on the last century.
Loved the spaghetti western music in Almería, wouldn’t be surprised to see Clint Eastwood around
I live in Cantabria and i really love those shoots you have taken. In other words, you have made a local PROUD. Thanks!!!
Eres un fotógrafo cojonudo 👏👏👏👏
As a Spaniard, I consider my country the most beautiful in the world and I invite all of you when this damn pandemic ends to visit it and check it in situ ... because it is not only a beach ... it has many charms to discover. Cheers
Hey! I’m from Spain, as u all know, here we r passing some tuff time, y really encourage u all to come and visit Spain. I am not talking about the basic such as Barcelona or Ibiza, that is not real turism, go to places like this! They are A LOT more CHEAPER. And in my opinion is wage more beautiful, u all have big cities in ur countries, but spots like this, a lot better!
Jajajajaj buena representación de cómo hablan inglés en España tío XD
@@florence5500 Bueno, Al menos hace el ESFUERZO de escribir en inglés, cosa que también ayuda a aprenderlo mejor. UD seguramente se burla porque es el típico que va de "Londinense" por la vida, vamos un .. " Ay, como se dice en Español..?" 🥴🥴 Básicamente un G..........s. An asshole perhaps? But hey, keep thinking you that your lame comment is hilarious 🙄🙄
@@jesst.354 lo decía en plan bien, pero entiendo que se haya interpretado mal. Sorry
This video reminds me of so much of Northern Spain that I want to explore! Only spent a few days there last year and was just gasping at the beauty. Nice video Brian :)
oh so glad! Watching it again is making me want to get out traveling soon. Hopefully someday...
The North of Spain is actually a very popular destination for (especially summer) travel among the Spanish...
The fact that you referenced Harry Potter made me like you even more lol
Us who live in the north have nothing to do with the general idea that the world has of Spain and it's a pity. We aren't represented by paellas, flamenco, bullfights, crowded beaches and all that stuff, so whenever they try to sell the "marca España" we are like wow, that's literally only about half of the country
Also I'd change the title from "the Spain no one sees" to " the Spain that Spain doesn't try to sell"
I loved the video! So cinematic... I miss travelling ❤️
Fantastic. Most people don't realise just how varied Spain's geography and culture is. The North of Spain is amazing.
No matter where u choose to go in Spain. You pick a random place and it will be incredibly amazing.South, north, Cataluña... I’m glad u liked it,
As a person from Galicia I really aprecciated this video :). Thank you!
Definitely on my wish list of places to visit
Spain and Portugal both have amazing coastlines.. Excellent photography !!
Your photographs are stunning, Bryan. Thanks for sharing them.
