Why the Camino Del Santiago Was a Symbol of Spanish Defiance

- In northern Spain lies a collection of stunning churches built in a line known as the Camino Del Santiago. They represented a symbol of defiance, a rallying cry against the Moorish invasion of Spain.

People who forget history are forced to live through it again....
The Spanish have definitely forgotten their history and looks like they will be repeating it
savioblanc Spain and Southwest Europe will again be the heart of the resistance. Mark my words.
Deus vult! Viva España!
I always though I was full Puerto Rican but when my grandpa told us about our ancestry I have part Spain and Cuban in me. I’m so glad since I always wanted to visit Spain and thought I was missing something.
Puerto Ricans and Cubans are basically the same people with slightly different island cultures, they are the same blood mix for the most part, mostly Spanish, many are mixed with Taino Indians, some also have Carib Indian and some have African blood lines or both. As far as being Spanish, Latino's blood lines come from Spain that is what makes them Hispanic! Read more about the history of Spain and the people, it is an amazing rich and proud history, not only did Spain have an incredible Royal history but many great Roman emperors were actually Spanish. Hope this helps you on your journey, take care!
@@JT-st9yj No wonder Roman Emperors speak Latin.
@@ryneagheilim9782 Latin was the language of the Roman Empire. Iberian Peninsula dwellers, started speaking Latin as they were invaded by the Romans...
@@JT-st9yj Yes, Spain invaded the Caribbean islands and Central and North America in the 1400s. Brought slaves from Africa too, so that's why most islanders are mixed with Spanish, African, and Taino. That's also why Spanish is spoken in North, Central, and Southern America. Spanish is a blend of latin and the Iberian languages throughout history - Arabian, Celtic, and Germanic (Visigoths). If you walk the Camino de Santiago you will pass through the city of Burgos, where Spanish is said to have started. There were only a few Roman Emperors who were from Hispania and two of the greatest (in my opinion) - Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius. Proud to be a Puerto Rican with Northern Spanish ancestry and excited to walk the Camino next month and visit Rome!
By 100% you mean 100% taino ? Because racially there is no such thing.
The Reconqista is very cool. The Idea of almost losing it all, then rising like a pheonix and taking back whats rightfully yours.
Glorious and Inspirational. It was the courage and bravery forged in their emancipatory struggle against a debauched empire that primed Christian Spain to ascend to hegemony and build one of the most glorious empires known to history. A new struggle is taking form which will again break out in the West - to purge it of today’s tyrannies and foreign encroachments. Out of that will come the next great order of things.
Tf are you talking about
@@davidxrod It was pretty clear. Which part didn't you understand?
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
But the Spanish went around colonizing, thriving and enslaving others around the world. Did they not learn their lesson?
POR CRISTO y por Espana! SANTIAGO!!!
DEUS VULT brothers!
No Cabrón
*"SANTIAGO!!"*
Spain needs to rise up again.
One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic... resistance.
Yes.
So proud of these northern spanish catholic defenders.I am a Filipino, catholic & researching my spanish roots.
Wish I could test my DNA & go to northern Spain.
My surname is a Basque origin.Basques are one of the group of people in that northern defense.
Some documents point the surname for being noble, family for generations defending & holding the line against muslim attacks.Part of Spanish orders.
To my grandpa's of many generations before, thank you & will continue defending catholic faith.
Maybe that is the reason why, during childhood, was not afraid for fist fights with boys.
:D
Northern Spain has Celtic blood and great warriors. God bless your ancestors.
@@2007bing wow. That info is new to me. Interesting.
Thank you.
@@dianaverano7878 yes it’s interesting to learn the celts settled in northern Spain long ago and I believe wanted independence not so long ago in a movement. So they still have the fire in them. You also have the spirit of Lapu Lapu in you. Stand tall and defend Christ in this age. God bless.
@@2007bing you are right about Basques. That makes sense.
Some basques became soldiers to a king. That king became the king of Spain, united " conquered territories"
As reward, Basques in that timeline were given automatic noble title by the king as they were important soldiers in his army.
How did you know about lapu lapu? just curious.
The idea of converting a church like the hagia sophia into a mosque would be intolerable to St James the Moor Slayer.
That’s why St James didn’t allow it, no one not even a pesky Muslim army will ever defeat the power of Christ
Por Cristo Por Tu Gral
Factual error in the end of the clip...no Spanish flag in this time of the History...
They just showed the flag that's currently waving there as a Spanish site of historical interest. It was set up there by the administration of of the castle not by the production.
Not only that but there were no Knights of Santiago either when the Moors invaded as depicted.
They came after.
@@phillip_iv_planetking6354 yeah true it was just the visigothic kingdom that fought the umayyads they weren't unified yet under a Christian banner and no catholic military orders yet in Spain until the 12th century
@@scottgabriel7093 The Visigoths were Christian.
@@edstar83 before the Moorish conquest of Iberia, the Visigothic kingdoms still had populations that still practice paganism although Christianity had already introduced some still practice the old ways of Germanic paganism. They are fully Christiansted only after the Christian kingdoms were formed to resist the Moorish muslims and reconquer Iberia pioneered by the Kingdom of Asturias led by its first king Pelagius.
Their emblem is a crucifix shaped like a sword. Tells you everything you need to know lol.
U right, the emblem shows that Jesus will help you in ur battles.
@@eddiet.m406 We're here in the name of the lord to mess you up, essentially lol.
@@Acesahn more like we’re gonna defend our land no matter what it takes in the name of the lord lol
@@eddiet.m406 They're not defending their land, they're reconquering their land. There's a subtle yet powerful difference. Not judging, just saying.
@@Acesahn I understand that, but who invaded that land in the first place🤔
Que viva españa !!
Deus vult 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Telling the truth is important. Thank you.
Proud to have some Spanish blood in me 👌🏼
Jose Castro Spanish = arab moor
Same
NATIVE LATINOS Fook TRUMP nope, just part of spain population have arab blood, but not everyone
@@nativelatinosfooktrump5348 Native iberians and visigoths?
Me too brother.
Could anyone tell me what was the woman talking about at the time of 1:10 ? Since I’m the English learner, it’s pretty hard to hear clearly what she’s talking.
She is Irish a high level of English
God Bless Spain for defeating the muslims, and taking back Iberia 🇪🇸✝️
Crazy how some of my ancestors were part of this order and I’m Mexican.
My 12th Great Grandfather- Fernando Duque de Estrada y Manrique. Caballero de Orden Santiago. 🤙🏼
Cool story bro
Christendom lost North Africa and the Middle East, later Anatolia and part of the Balkans. Luckily, the people who went on to conquer the New World fought and won. It was very unlikely. Some would call it a miracle.
Santiago!!!! God wills it!
Wow I’m from Santa Maria but it’s Santa Maria California
Lol
California used to belong to Spain......
Santa Maria was the flagship of Columbus. Queen Isabella funded his expedition. California is lost to the Church.
The only problem with Smithsonian videos is that they are too short.
¡Santiago y cierra España! 🇪🇸
One day? In the future?
Fake News. 7-11 stores only came about 5 years later.
imagine an islam europe right now RIP gotta respect these folks who defended Europe
Don't worry mate it's coming soon until Islam enters every house in europe
@@rehanafzal1986 Go back to your bombed house Ali. all your Islamic empires have been destroyed by the West and now your countries are dogs to us
It wont. European christians are far smarter and stronger than you
It will happen like it ended. Europe will lose Jerusalem and Constantinope again, but we the spanish will defend Spain. The problem will be when the pope does not let the spanish to participate in the midle east crusades again
My ancestors were members of the Most Noble Order of the Knights of Santiago
Actually that castle of Loarre was Vasconia's Land.
Gascony or Navarre's Kingdom.

Barcelona? First, it wasn't that important.
Second, it was hundreds of kilometers further north
Third, The Muslims conquered the entire Iberian Peninsula (except the Asturian and Cantabrian mountains), and part of southern France.
1:35
Catalonia did not exist
And the map shows Asturias when it was already León. The kingdom of Asturias was previous, and from it derived that of León, which was divided into the kingdom of Galicia, the kingdom of León and the county (later kingdom) of Castile.
You're blatantly LYING. Barcelona was a really important port to the Mediterranean. Also, Catalonia was fully invaded but not for much time, in fact, the northern part until the south of Barcelona was fastly recovered and named The Marca Hispánica... Agree that Catalonia did not exist, but Catalan people did already exist at that time.
Also, don't forget, the most important Roman city in the whole Hispania was in the land that will become Catalonia: Imperial Tarraco.
Que Viva La Gente de Norte Espana Que Viva El Reino de Pamplona y Navarre Que Viva La Gente de Norte Nuevo Mexico y YHVH te bendiga en el nombre de YESHUA
What this video doesn't mention is that the Muslim hordes do conquer all of the Iberian peninsula more or less. Asturias is birthed after the conquest and after the rebellion against Muslim occupation starts in 722.
They were sent back where they came from . Spain became first global empire
Before Camino de Santiago was the Via Finisterre used by Celts. That's why they came to west Europe
J
2:56 a flag created 800 years after the recreation of this video 😂😂
Ave Christus Rex! Deus Vult! ✝️
what spain couldve done with a little protestant work ethic...they wouldve been unstoppable
From then on, Islam understood that the conquest of Europe would not be possible with weapons, but with the wombs of its women.
Incorrect. Islam still tried to spread through Europe and the Mediterranean, but was switfly stopped at Viena and Lepanto, respectively.
The demographic issue is a separate matter.
To this day, the Christians and Islamists are STILL so freaking civilized.
1 day...
One day Europe will be free from the invaders once again
So inaccurate!!!
It's just another dumb shit. Why even ask?
They were building that wall hundreds of years before Trump even thought about it:) Where were the hipsters protesting then? lol
Nice that you pointed that the arts, sciences and overall culture had an incredible bloom during the muslim goberment. It's importance can't be overstated: It brought to europe back the greek science and medicine, developed many new ideas and developments, served as a base for Renaissance and from that Spain was quickly able to rise to be the main world power and patrons. At least untill catholic church and mediocre kings destroyed it all from the inside.
Then France invaded us, and helped to bring us back from the dark ages again. We spaniards seem to need an outside ruler to do things right :P
Creo que estás siendo muy duro con tu propia historia. Es verdad que casi todos los monarcas de España y de los distintos reinos que la forman han pertenecido a dinastías extranjeras, la mayoría francesas (Borbones hoy y antes de los Habsburgo casi todos los reyes Castellanos y de Aragón pertenecían a una rama de la Casa de Borgoña (Capeto)) pero muchos de los grandes logros de España se deben en sí a la vitalidad de su sociedad más que al buen gobierno de sus monarcas. En todo caso, la razón por la que España empezó a ensimismarse tanto en el siglo XVIII hasta la invasión napoleonica tiene más que ver con Francia también: Al acceder Felipe V al trono, renovó las instituciones y re impulsó al imperio pero el mismo hecho de ser francés, generó que de a poco se empezase a desplazar lo español en favor de lo francés generando una crisis sociológica donde los españoles, de ser una nación orgullosa, se veían relegados ante las costumbres del que siempre fue considerado el enemigo a muerte causando un sentimiento de inferioridad cultural y de preferencia a lo extranjero causando un pozo religioso mucho más hondo que el los Austrias donde se refugiaban cada vez más todos los desplazados generando por ende, más ignorancia. Es una situación demasiado compleja es verdad, pero España y su gente son más grandes de como los pintas...
Catholic Kings and Church ruined it? You mean building a trans oceanic empire?
As for greek knowledge, we own largely Byzantine scholars for that.
Nonsense.Hispania was part of the Roman empire. And The Visigoths were no savages. islam invaded from Arabia in the 7th century. All the knowledge they supposedly had they absorbed from invading already established ancient Christian and pagan civilizations in Mesopotamia North Africa Anatolia Caucasus and former Persian Empire.
you do realise that this great culture came from the romanised christian people of egypt and syria etc. The richest and most civilised provinces of the Roman Empire that were invaded by the Arabs. They kept the flame alight
🌽🌽my DNA proud to be 100 percent native America and not some gypsy Spaniard ⭐🌙🇪🇸
Actually, you are Asian. There is no such thing as Native Americans, your ancestors crossed the land bridge from Asia and settled in the Americas.
@@TXMEDRGR there are no such thing as native Europeans either
@themailman43 proof?
@@ShidaiTaino True, I believe that humans evolved in Africa and migrated to the rest of the world. The different races came later.
@@TXMEDRGR we all come from Adam and Eve
I always find it really interesting or at least really stupid when they call it the reconquista or using the term fighting the occupiers. If you rule over and live in a land for 700 years you are pretty much indigenous. Imagine Brittan invading the USA or Europe invading the Americas and calling it the reconquista.
Very well said, and Im a spaniard.
Nope. Not if the people whose land you took fought you for 700 years or even longer.
The Spanish are unique in how long they kept the fight going.
The Arab rulers of Spain never looked at themselves as natives of the land either.
So your example of the UK invading the US is illogical, as the UK accepted their defeat and moved on.
The Spanish never accepted their new rulers and took refuge with Pelayo and his men up north and then continued their fight
John Dough they invaded by force , there were people there ! Do the English call themselves Romans?
Nope. They were seen as invaders and usurpers who expropriated the Spanish’s lands and desecrated their holy sites. They never were seen as “indigenous” and rightly so.
@@larocagreyjoy7637 Youre not Spaniard lair plus you have other comments praising islam and and the opposite with Christianity. troll skill 2 out of 10.
It's a pity Galiza is part of the Spain Kingdom. Galiza should be part of the portuguese territory since times of the secular Portugal Kingdom til actual days. Galiza is so Portuguese in all aspects: in its medieval architecture (luso gothic in its castles, cathedrals, monasteries, villes etc.), faith and devotion, landscapes, atmosphere, people and language (galaico-português) 👍
Definitely, Galiza is more Portuguese than Castellian.
@Charles Troll first of all, Spanish language does not exist! Spanih language is like Castilla wants the world knows the Castelian language that is the native language of Castilla and the official language of Spain Kingdom. So learn to never forget that Galicians speak Galego (or galaico-português) that is the native language of Galiza as well as that Catalan people speak Catalan that is the native language of Catalunya, and that Spanish is only for communication with other peoples of Spain Kingdom. But Galiza does not look like Castilla as well as those do not look like Catalunya because each one has its cultural identity and own language 👍
Is it hard to understand or will I have "to draw"?
@Charles Troll They can speak Castelian and they used that language with you only because you don't speak Galician and you know it if you really lived in Galiza.
@Charles Troll are you crazy, man? They speak Galician! Castelian is only for communication with people from other regions of Spain or outsiders that do not know the Galician language, and all the Earth knows it. In what world do you live in? Neverland? Mars?
I’m Galician, and u don’t know what are u saying...😂😂😂😂.. Galicia was not a part of Portugal.. PORTUGAL WAS A PART OF GALICIA... in 1071 AD, Portugal was added to the kingdom of Galicia.. Alfonso the 6th of León, give the count of “portucale” to his cousin.. Portugal gained its independence in 1249.. ignorant...
Israel Cougar Por suposto en Galicia falamos dunha cultura unificada, e máis aínda agora con nacionalismos rexionais. pero Galicia (e Portugal) sempre foi asociada aos reinos de Castilla (León e Castilla). nunca foi unificada com Portugal. Portugal pertencía á Galiza, e Portugal mesmo se xuntou a España no século XVI. os que afirman hoxe a súa relación político com Portugal, e non coa España, son nacionalistas e esquerdistas. Galicia é España, e os galegos estiveron sempre nas grandes feitos históricos de Castela e España. a palabra "GaliZa" é unha invención moderna de extremistas nacionalistas.
Long live Muslims spain
AlhamduYaHVeH YESHUA Al Akbar, Banu Sancho Que Viva El Reino Pamplona Navarre.

Muslim Spain ceased to be centhuries ago...
Interesting! As Muslims we firmly believe that we shall reconquer Europe, all of it,with the return of Al-Mahdi!
Our testament of faith "La Ilaha Illalah Muhammadan Rasulullah"
There is no god but Allah, the one true God, Lord of the heavens and earth and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is his last and final messenger shall echo throught Europe!
This is our destiny!
@Jack EGAN why is it inappropriate for a muslim like this is only being honest and I can't see any of them pretending otherwise. it's the Nut job Left wingers who live with their heads in the sand pretending there's something wrong with having any sort of National Identity any more... a complete disgrace to our forefathers. So if no one with a spine will stand up to barbarians why complain when they get stronger and set their sights on destroying us?
You serve the Fallen Angels. There is only ONE Eloah and YaHVeH is His Name YESHUA

First of Shaitan/Satan/Iblees is not a "Fallen angel" he is is a different breed of Allah's creation called the "Jinn".
Angels are loyal creatures that serve Allah without question!
Mankind and Jinn on the other hand do have free will. Hence why Iblees rebeled against Allah's command to prostate to prophet Adam and thus was expelled from heaven and so he became humanities greatest enemy!
