I'm from Jamaican (in the Caribbean) and I would love to visit Spain, perhaps even live there temporarily. All the best from the other side of the world xx
Oh my God, so enamored with Spain it hurts. The food , drink, people and history just ridiculous. From Galicia, Los Bascos, Catalunya, Castilla, Leon, Granada, Valencia, from Cordoba to Murcia just amazing. Love it! Que viva Espana bella, Saludos desde Arizona, Ole'!
Francesco Arellano. Are you called Arellano (surname clearly Spanish) and do not know the land from which your ancestors come? Unforgivable. Come and enjoy it.
The food? Have you had Spanish food? It's bland with no seasoning and is the worst part about living in Spain. Everything is literally lightly fried in olive oil and a bit of salt. YOU'RE lucky if they even put pepper.
So, so true Sir!! I totally agree with your words & you've stated this so perfectly. The amazing architecture of Southern Spain, must be preserved not only for all Spaniards, but i'd argue, for the entire world. It's simply....Incredible & awe inspiring!! Take care.
still these monuments are taken care of by craftsmen from Morocco 🇲🇦 the land of the Moors , only Moroccans can do that task it is an ancestral Moroccan heritage .

Oh really? So how do you compare England 🇬🇧 and Spain 🇪🇸 based on standard of living, wealth, per capital income, people, scenery, health etc? Just curious, thanks!
I've been to many parts of the world, but none other has captured my heart like Southern Spain. Walking the streets of Granada and Seville felt like living in a fairytale. I long to return one day, but this video brought me back. Thank you.
I feel exactly the same. I've been in Adalucia right before the Lockdowns hit in March. I want to experience of el andalus so badly again. But until then I'll watch Ricks Videos.
So true! Granada & Seville are so historically magical, splendid & amazing!! I so yearn to revisit myself & i think we will, as soon as we're able to. Take care.
I just want to thank Rick for his splendid, intelligent, amusing displays of the best corners of Europe. He has made me happy and has enriched my soul. Thank you Rick, keep up the marvelous work!!
Rick is the best. Every time I visit Europe I am grateful for the man's research, Mostly I appreciate his desire for travelers to immerse ourselves. Too many travelers are afraid to explore new things. Thanks Rick
Possibly the most beautiful part of Spain for its mystique connection with the past and its mixture of history. The one place you should see before any other part of Spain to learn the history of Spain... Olé 👌🏽 Been there 6 times, and still cannot get enough of it. 👍🏼
I enjoyed my visit in Spain. I love their beautiful cathedrals, historical buildings and relics. I visited Madrid, Seville, Avila, Toledo, Cordoba and many more.except Barcelona.Watched the flamenco dance and visited and tried Spanish wine. It was a great experience.
Ahhhh, hahahaha I know, it's so stunning in so many ways, but to be ultra fair, there's such beauty all across our world, so with this being said, let me rephrase your sentence, to my personally preferred phrase.......Spain is one of the best & most beautiful global countries. I try to remain open minded about everything. The world consists of approx 198 countries & they all have their pros & cons, Spain included. I must say, i do love the generally warm, bright & friendly nature of the Spanish, plus their wonderful hospitality. My husband, who is Norwegian, just loves Madrid & said he could easily live there for some years. Take care and peace to you and to all.
Rick Steve is my favourite unseen friend. I listen to his documentaries while doing my academic work. He is very clear in the use of words and sentences.
I live in Andalucia and your video gives a true version. Should you return I strongly advise visiting the white village of Mijas pueblo( about half an hour from Malaga) It's extremely beautiful. Also not to be missed is the amazing village of Setenil near Ronda. The houses ,shops and restaurants are built into the rocks. Slightly inland are the beautiful emerald coloured lakes and nearby the famous el caminito del Rey. The AMAZING rock formation at el torcal is truly something not to be missed,as one feels as if one is on another planet. Please do come back to capture more.
Walking back away from the beaches along Costa Del Sol. There are sections that present a more traditional style. Sometimes tourists are in a hurry but this video was well made with a lot of interesting history. You could spend years studying that country.
Angela Berni. I love Andalucia. I am very English and would not live anywhere else but my 2nd love is southern Spain. I have been many times and have many happy memories.
One of the most beautiful regions in one of the most intriguing parts of the world in my opinion. I used to live in Andalucia for a few years, and I yearn to go back so badly.
Love Andalusia, i'm from Barcelona in Catalonia, but my family are from Andalusia and came to Catalonia in the 70's (more than one million of andalusians arrived). Spain is very diverse, but andalusia is the best region, so different to the other place in the world.
Yes Sir, it's a truly amazing region in Spain! Such an amazing country, full of rich history, great culture, possessing wonderful & friendly people. Take care.
28:00 because that amazing music i come back to this video again and again. 😍😍 Spanish music is amazing and when that is combined with a Rick Steve video then .. i prefer to watch that more than a movie ... Long live Rick Steve .. long live amazing spanish music.
When Rick Steven was showing all his trips on television l made sure l was available to watch every one. He does a good job teaching us all cultures of the world. I loved his show. Now this is a treat on my cell phone videos. Thanks Rick Stevens.

Not this summer, pretty much guaranteed. Wait until the nasty Covid-19 will be defeated. Greetings from Pamplona, the city of the "running of the bulls" during the San Fermín holidays.
15:53 lol. Malaga is actually incredible. It has a vibrant old town, Roman theater, beautiful cathedral, moorish alcazar, hilltop castle, and a beautiful city hall all within walking distance from each other, oh and walking distance from the beach too. Not to mention Picasso’s home, and a Picasso museum.

Deen....Mr Steves I want to congratulate you on a series that is much more then travel writing and contrary to what you said in a segment of this show you are a historian and a educator. Many thanks for this amazing series.
So true, totally!! Yet, as architecturally incredible as it all is, many still don't know & i think these regions, are still somewhat underrated. They must be shown off to the world, for they're truly mindblowing! For me, Granada & Seville were real showstoppers, but of course, many other Spanish regions too. Take care.
You know what i noticed and found really amazing?... that not so long ago we were regular and normal human...without cell phones on the hand and just enjoying life and travel....really miss that...
And even longer ago we were living in a feudal caste system of slavery barely surviving. My point being appreciate the present for what it is, the growing pains for the transition of the digital age. However humanly disconnected and ridiculous it may be.
Been in Andalucia north east for 18 years. Totally fluent and totally integrated. Live in. Tiny Aldea 8 inhabitants way up in the Sierra Segura 1500mtrs. Love it so much I plan TP die here.

@@rickyrickardo4913 it's incredible. Hope you get your dream one day. I lived in the UK for 40 odd years. I couldn't again. I don't mean offence by this, but I am so happy here in Andalucia I can't imagine leaving. The UK depressed me.
Thank you so much. It’s mainly the bad weather here all year round that’s getting me down a bit lol. I’m determined to move down there some day. Glad you managed too. Wish me luck! 😊❤️
@@rickyrickardo4913 Yeah, good luck, for sure. I would recommend a visit in July August. Just because from June to September the shade temperatures here are up in the mid to late 40s⁰C and humidity is high. Some can't cope with it. I for example tend to take this time off work as it is to physically demanding during these months. Winter time where I am gets the opposite, rain, winds and snow here in the mountains. It is definitely one extreme to another. Anyway, all the best and hope you can make it here as it's incredibly beautiful. Here I'm an hour away from skiing or half hour to the beach. Couldn't be better really. Arrived here by accident and just decided to apply for residency and stayed.
Hello Salah, i hope you truly enjoyed your time in Sevilla & Southern Spain. Did you get a chance to visit Granada? It's so beautiful & i really love all things architecturally Moorish there. The stunning flora and fauna, the forts, historic buildings, the sun, the food, the general culture. An amazing country & i'd even say, is still quite underrated unfort. Take care. Peace
Lived there for 18 years with a Spanish wife, we adored it. Thanks, Raymond e colgate, y Maria Pilar Gomez Alcedo colgate,, now her ashes are in Medina Andalusia. We lived in Chiclana de la Frontera O
I love to go there again before I am too old to travel !! Our country , our town's history is so connected to Spain as the country was Spain's colony for over 300 years.
Spain its so.... different. Incredibly different to the rest of Europa. Andalucia, Catalunya, Madrid, Pais Vasco... A just country of such different cultures in its interior
MarkusGaming Land Perhaps it is a common note among all European cities, but I think that is not the case of Barcelona. On one side is a mixture of own architecture (modernism + gothic) and on the other hand, being a city with sea looks and character, very different from those cities that you quote.
MCclao2008 Actually in CataluÑa, País Vasco, Galicia, Asturias, Aragón and Cantabria, all Northern regions in general, are "very European". There's a huge difference between North and South.
Last night I watched European Christmas and I was ready to go to Germany to shop for truffles tonight I’ve been watching this one and now I want to go to Spain thank you Rick Steves great shows
Lived in Torremolinos for a Year. Andalucia is one of my most favorite places in the world. Paella, gazpacho, sangria, tapas and beautiful baileras rousing the crowd with flamenco. Amo Espana. Amo los gentes del pais. Viva Andalucia!
Thank you so much Mr Rick estive your program is amazing people can't afford to go tourist they have chance to see different beautiful places around the word cause of your program
I love Andalucia! Sevilla ❤️ So close to North Africa too. Short flight to Marakesh my favorite for the markets. This video shows everything you need to see there. ❤️ The weather! I'm Mexican so I let my Spanish friends do the talking. 🇲🇽 Vs 🇪🇸 very different Spanish 🤷🏽♂️
Loved it so much I moved here, 15 years now. 6 or 7 visits across Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia and León I made a trip down south. I saw almost all of Andalucía in 4 months and decided to buy a house and stay. I live inland Costa Del Sol but work in Marbella. I must say I love it most of the time especially my hobbies of hiking and outdoor photography which are incredible experiences. I absolutely love the North though and if I didn't have to work I would be living there near Los Picos De Europa 💕
Twice in Andalucía and still wanna go the third, forth and a bunch of many times. Every time I got there I found that only two short weeks were totally not enough! Echo de menos a la impecable panorama de Ronda, las callejuelas de Sevilla, los patios florecidos de Córdoba, Casas en Albaicín de Granada, y las playas de Málaga. Ver este vídeo es como repetir el viaje a Andalucía y mi gusto por estes lugares se hace más intenso. Ojalá pueda volver en el próximo futuro a esta bellísima tierra que ya ha hecho un pedacito de mi corazón.
The next time take into account that Malaga beaches are probably the worst in Andalucia. Try Cadiz (Bolonia or Alemanes) or Almeria (Cabo de Gata) beaches and you will probably love them!
Mr Pink dude, like really, theres a difference between IS an Arab dominated land, and WAS. I stated in my comment, WAS. Was is past tense meaning a time or period of time in the past. 500 years is a period in the past.
rasecphd Brought "Terror" xDxDxDxDxDxDxD ohh good old Western media brainwashing souls day by day. Dude, I've been to Andalusia, I've seen first hand the remnants of Muslims Spain. My tour guides were Qualified Historians by the Spansih Gov.all who spoke about the flourishing of Iberia during the Islamic period. Islamic Iberia was a beacon of light during the European dark ages, Muslims, Jews and christians lived in harmony, this would be unthinkable in Christian lands.
Hamza Tahir Western media brainwashing? The scholarly research is there for you to read. Let's get this clear...the Moors were not an invited force in the Peninsula. Spain was a Christian territory long before the Moors invaded. What is so difficult to understand about the word INVASION? Perhaps you think INVASION of Middle Eastern lands happening now are good and there to make those nations civilized and bring democracy?
It’s wonderful to revisit these most beautiful parts of Spain in your videos during lock-downs, when we can’t travel, and as Brexit is inflicted upon us in Britain. A great escape.

I love Spain, once I had pilgrimage and tour all northern Spain from west to East. It's so wonderful memories.
Did you do the Camino de Santiago?
I live in the UK, But Southern Spain is definitely where I’d like to live! I hope I do get to move there some day 😍
It's amazing here, just as long as you can handle the summer heat.
All the best from the Sierra Navada.
Oh thank you! It’s still a dream of mine to this day! It just looks like paradise compared to other places. 😊
@@rickyrickardo4913 it's incredible. Hope you get your dream one day.
I lived in the UK for 40 odd years.
I couldn't again.
I don't mean offence by this, but I am so happy here in Andalucia I can't imagine leaving.
The UK depressed me.
Thank you so much. It’s mainly the bad weather here all year round that’s getting me down a bit lol. I’m determined to move down there some day. Glad you managed too. Wish me luck! 😊❤️
@@rickyrickardo4913 Yeah, good luck, for sure.
I would recommend a visit in July August.
Just because from June to September the shade temperatures here are up in the mid to late 40s⁰C and humidity is high.
Some can't cope with it.
I for example tend to take this time off work as it is to physically demanding during these months.
Winter time where I am gets the opposite, rain, winds and snow here in the mountains.
It is definitely one extreme to another.
Anyway, all the best and hope you can make it here as it's incredibly beautiful.
Here I'm an hour away from skiing or half hour to the beach.
Couldn't be better really.
Arrived here by accident and just decided to apply for residency and stayed.
Love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳🇪🇸
I've been in love with this country for years. Hopefully I can find a teaching job there.
I'm in love with the girl in you pic. ;)
You're very sweet :)
good luck with the economy, not even jobs for the locals.
Wait 5-6 years hahahaha we need some years more for heal our economy.
Good luck!
Lorial Roballo
And you're very cute ;) Wish you luck!
Best part of Spain. Great Islamic and Moorish art, gardens and architecture. Unmatched by anything that took over to this day!
Indeed so happy to be here MashAllah
Thanks Rexteav for the information and historical about many countries in the world 🌹👍
Oh man. This place looks incredible. I’m heading to Sevilla in 3 days and I can’t wait.
how was your trip?
Hello Salah, i hope you truly enjoyed your time in Sevilla & Southern Spain. Did you get a chance to visit Granada? It's so beautiful & i really love all things architecturally Moorish there. The stunning flora and fauna, the forts, historic buildings, the sun, the food, the general culture. An amazing country & i'd even say, is still quite underrated unfort. Take care. Peace
Lived there for 18 years with a Spanish wife, we adored it. Thanks, Raymond e colgate, y Maria Pilar Gomez Alcedo colgate,, now her ashes are in Medina Andalusia. We lived in Chiclana de la Frontera
O
Beautiful country and Andalucia. Every place is different with its culture and history. Even I like Barcelona too. Love flamenco dancing.💃💃
I'm in love with Spain!
You're welcome whenever you want, we're very used to tourists.
Video Speak about ANDALUCIA.
it is wonderful to watch these documentaries of rick steves...
I love Spain. I play SPANISH FLAMENCO MUSIC on my GUITAR.
Thank you for this! We lived in southern Spain for four fantastic years. Hope to go back permanently ASAP. ❤️🇪🇸❤️🇪🇸
Córdoba es preciosa. Mujeres muy guapas y ambiente especialmente tranquilo.
I still remember visiting Sevilla during World Expo Fair in 1991 and want to go back again someday.
Te voy a extrañar Andalucía y sobretodo el baile en frente al mirador del Alhambra con la música súper gipsy #priceless ☺️💙💃🏻🇪🇸
I love to go there again before I am too old to travel !! Our country , our town's history is so connected to Spain as the country was Spain's colony for over 300 years.
Hello, are you referring to Mexico my dear? If so, yes indeed! My best wishes sent to you & your people. Peace
Spain its so.... different. Incredibly different to the rest of Europa. Andalucia, Catalunya, Madrid, Pais Vasco... A just country of such different cultures in its interior
Spain as in today are all thanks to it history..
I agree, but the big cities try to be like london, paris etc and are really similar style
MarkusGaming Land Perhaps it is a common note among all European cities, but I think that is not the case of Barcelona. On one side is a mixture of own architecture (modernism + gothic) and on the other hand, being a city with sea looks and character, very different from those cities that you quote.
I agree 200 percent but im talking about the young people
MCclao2008 Actually in CataluÑa, País Vasco, Galicia, Asturias, Aragón and Cantabria, all Northern regions in general, are "very European". There's a huge difference between North and South.
ΟH i love u Spain 🇪🇦 from Greece 🇬🇷
Hermosa Andalucia...unica , muy esoecial....espero recorrer tus calles alguna vez...
Spain. Sooooo beautiful. ❤️🐝
Really want to go there someday, to learn islamic history.. so amazing..
Marcos Alonso leave andalucia...go back to Asturias
Yes you should go. It doesn't matter where you want to learn Islamic history.
Love Andalucia!! :-)
Last night I watched European Christmas and I was ready to go to Germany to shop for truffles tonight I’ve been watching this one and now I want to go to Spain thank you Rick Steves great shows
Lived in Torremolinos for a Year. Andalucia is one of my most favorite places in the world. Paella, gazpacho, sangria, tapas and beautiful baileras rousing the crowd with flamenco. Amo Espana. Amo los gentes del pais. Viva Andalucia!
I like their culture.... some day I will visit you Spain
Southern Spain, with its blend of history, culture, gastronomy, and natural beauty, captivates visitors with its unique charm and allure.
Wow!
I must visit Al-andalus to see alhamra palace.
The Spanish are very lucky, they live in a very beautiful land ❤️
Indeed my friend
I've been watching Rick since I was a kid. God bless
Someday, I'll visit you Spain. Someday.
+Alfonso Torres your name is spain enuf
TheHeavensHell06 But I still want to visit Spain, and stay there. That's my biggest dream, since I was a little boy. ^^
where are u live at right now?
TheHeavensHell06 Concord California, I mostly grew up in Oakland California my whole life. Now it's time for me to make bigger changes.
nice, go for it
Andalusia is so beautiful. Especially Sevilla and Ronda. I love Churros con chocolate
And Granada
Andalusia is home to incredibly fine horses.
Thank you so much Mr Rick estive your program is amazing people can't afford to go tourist they have chance to see different beautiful places around the word cause of your program
I love Andalucia! Sevilla ❤️ So close to North Africa too. Short flight to Marakesh my favorite for the markets. This video shows everything you need to see there. ❤️ The weather! I'm Mexican so I let my Spanish friends do the talking. 🇲🇽 Vs 🇪🇸 very different Spanish 🤷🏽♂️
Loved it so much I moved here, 15 years now. 6 or 7 visits across Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia and León I made a trip down south. I saw almost all of Andalucía in 4 months and decided to buy a house and stay. I live inland Costa Del Sol but work in Marbella. I must say I love it most of the time especially my hobbies of hiking and outdoor photography which are incredible experiences. I absolutely love the North though and if I didn't have to work I would be living there near Los Picos De Europa 💕
Wow!! I love the option you made. :)
Twice in Andalucía and still wanna go the third, forth and a bunch of many times. Every time I got there I found that only two short weeks were totally not enough! Echo de menos a la impecable panorama de Ronda, las callejuelas de Sevilla, los patios florecidos de Córdoba, Casas en Albaicín de Granada, y las playas de Málaga. Ver este vídeo es como repetir el viaje a Andalucía y mi gusto por estes lugares se hace más intenso. Ojalá pueda volver en el próximo futuro a esta bellísima tierra que ya ha hecho un pedacito de mi corazón.
The next time take into account that Malaga beaches are probably the worst in Andalucia. Try Cadiz (Bolonia or Alemanes) or Almeria (Cabo de Gata) beaches and you will probably love them!
@@jrdf240 Thank you for this tip from a local! I just put these destinations on my ultimative el andalus road trip list :)
Viva Europa....totalmente sumergido...Greetings from Long Beach, California.
LONG LIVE SPAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Groundskeeper Willie Long live Andalouse! ;3
+Hamza Tahir Omg youre the same troll that says spain is arab land lol
Mr Pink dude, like really, theres a difference between IS an Arab dominated land, and WAS. I stated in my comment, WAS. Was is past tense meaning a time or period of time in the past. 500 years is a period in the past.
rasecphd Brought "Terror" xDxDxDxDxDxDxD ohh good old Western media brainwashing souls day by day. Dude, I've been to Andalusia, I've seen first hand the remnants of Muslims Spain. My tour guides were Qualified Historians by the Spansih Gov.all who spoke about the flourishing of Iberia during the Islamic period. Islamic Iberia was a beacon of light during the European dark ages, Muslims, Jews and christians lived in harmony, this would be unthinkable in Christian lands.
Hamza Tahir
Western media brainwashing? The scholarly research is there for you to read. Let's get this clear...the Moors were not an invited force in the Peninsula. Spain was a Christian territory long before the Moors invaded. What is so difficult to understand about the word INVASION?
Perhaps you think INVASION of Middle Eastern lands happening now are good and there to make those nations civilized and bring democracy?
Most beautiful part of Spain. Malaga, Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Marbella, fabulous
It’s wonderful to revisit these most beautiful parts of Spain in your videos during lock-downs, when we can’t travel, and as Brexit is inflicted upon us in Britain. A great escape.
Brexit is a national tradegy. What a shame for our young people.
What an awesome video, very educative, such an elegant language that respected every religion and even minorities. Thank you
Andelusia seems such a beautiful place..
Thanks for all the travel video tours Rick. You do an amazing job!
Me encanto ire en abril😊
Very nice travel in 2o24😊
