  • 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

    • @HillTrekkerSarge
      @HillTrekkerSarge Před 7 lety +2

      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.

    • @123benny4

      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.

      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?

      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).

      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.

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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
