very nice places
Northern Spain is where I would like to retire. The cities of Oviedo, Santiago de Compostela and Santander are spectacular as well. The food is top notch! Ahh Spain!
It would be a beautiful place to retire. We stayed in Oviedo one night but didn’t have enough time to explore as I’d like. We’ll have to check out those three on our next visit!
Thanks! This helps with our upcoming trip in May.
You’re welcome! I hope you have a great time. It’s a beautiful area.
Congrats for this amazing travel video, i love it !!! I love Spain so much 🇪🇸
I am a World Traveler and It will be a pleasure to connect with other traveler 😁!!!
Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thank you! We definitely fell in love with Spain this trip.
We’re so happy you’re here and enjoyed our video.
Switzerland sounds beautiful! Any off the beaten path spots you recommend to visit?
the music XDDDDDDD like if you were in cuba haha
Hahaha this is my best performing video so I guess it works 😂
Sí, absolutamente ridículo
Thanks for sharing those delightful locations👏🏽 I can understand that you couldn’t travel everywhere,viewers must be patient, or start their own channel😜
Ah thank you so much! There’s so much to see and so little time. Thanks for adventuring with us 😊
Hi how are you i watch all of your vidios its beautiful 🥰👍🏻
Thank you!
Northern Spain is beautiful! But the background music played here is from the south……northern Spain music is different, lots of bagpipes.
Thanks for watching! And thank you for being so kind about the music. I had no idea but I’m interested to learn more. I wouldn’t normally think of Spain and bagpipes but that’s so cool. Thanks again for sharing!
@@AnyoneCanTravel you are welcome….I am half Galician. The northern part of Spain, especially Galicia is mainly of Celtic heritage. The thing about Spain is that each region has their own culture, language and gastronomy……if you ask for flamenco up north, they will look at you weird…lol. I loved your video, well done! ❤️
@@aimararojas7037. I thought you were joking about the bagpipes! I had no idea that they are enjoyed outside the British Isles. This is the first video I am watching on Northern Spain. It sounds lovely!
Thanks for watching! And learning something new with me. I have learned a lot from everyone commenting on this video 😅
Una pasada
Why are they playing music more associated with Southern Spain?
I unfortunately am not super familiar with the music from different regions of Spain. I liked the rhythm and beat of the songs and thought they sounded Spanish, but did not realize it would be quite the controversy. I just wanted to share some cool places I visited in Spain that I thought others would like too. Sorry if the music threw you off but hopefully you still enjoyed the video 😊
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you! It’s definitely worth a visit 😊
El video es precioso,pero visitar y mostrar el Norte de España con música típica de Andalucía es como mostrar Canadá a ritmo de tango argentino 😉
Gracias por su comentario! Algunos ya me han dicho y entiendo que hice mal. Me gusto la música por el ritmo pero ya entiendo que por los de España suena raro porque no es la región de esa música. Muchas gracias por ver mi video y compartir su comentario muy amable.
Esa "REGION" no tiene musica propia porque son varias regiones diferentes con musicas diferentes y pongas la que pongas sera incorrecta.
Prefiero musica Andaluza que extrangera. Almenos es Española.

Thanks, will be doing this in RV Why not 🙂
That will be incredible! There are so many other places to visit in the area too that we just didn’t have time for. Have a fantastic trip! 😊
😍😃😃
Flamenco for north Spain is like catalan sardanas in Sevilla=?🤔
Yep I’ve since learned of my mistake from the numerous comments letting me know. Some more polite than others haha. Thanks for letting me know though and at least for recognizing it is Spanish music some people like to tell me it’s Cuban or Mexican music but I at least got the right country just the wrong region haha 😅
I won’t make this mistake again though 😊
You have to visit the beaches of llanes and Ribadesella, ain't nothing like it lol
Wow! They look beautiful. Definitely on my list for next time. Thank you for sharing your recommendation 😊
Great video, love to travel as well, keep up the good work 😃😃😃 Best country in thw woooorld 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦 I LOVE TO TRAVEEEEEL AS WELL, 🦀🦀
Thank you! Spain is a beautiful country. We can’t wait to go back and see more.
Every beach and town looked so beautiful. Can't wait to travel again.
We’re very excited to go back to Europe hopefully later this year! We’ve missed traveling a lot too.
How easy/hard did you find driving around northern Spain to be, in terms of road signs, road rules, navigation and parking?
It wasn’t too complicated. Definitely smaller roads and smaller parking but the cars are also smaller. It helps to try and make sure your hotels/airbnbs will have parking so you don’t have to worry about it as much, but we found paid parking easily in Bilbao and Valladolid when we stopped for lunch. Most cars will be manual by default so if you can’t drive manual make sure to request automatic in advance and there may be an extra charge for an automatic.
@@AnyoneCanTravel Thanks for the tips!
Never been to Spain, Loved portugal though. Ah travel I remember travel
Portugal looks amazing! I wanted to do Portugal but we ended up doing Spain this trip. Next time! Hopefully we can all get back to traveling and visiting the places we love soon!
CAN someone explain me if the result of PCR Covid19 test for enter in Spain the 72 hours will be counted from the moment that they'll take from you RNA or from the moment that you will have your certificate???????!!!!
Hi! We were in Spain last year (March 2020 actually it was a little crazy!) so we didn't have to take a COVID test, but I did some research and found this information on Spain's Ministry of Health website ( www.mscbs.gob.es/en/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov/spth.htm ): "a certificate with a NEGATIVE PCR result (COVID-19 RT-PCR), carried out in the 72 hours before arrival in Spain"
For a test to be carried out in the 72 hours before you have to start the test within 72 hours is how I interpret that, but that is just what I think it means. There is also a FAQ document on that site that may be helpful for you. I hope that helps!
สวัสดี 🙏
Jajajaa y se salta cantabria
Esa región se ve muy bonita. No tuvimos tiempo en este viaje pero para la próxima!
Hacen muy bien en visitar el norte y olvidarse de Cantabria...quien sabe,quizá es un favor que nos hacen y de ésta forma no tener un turismo de masas en nuestros Picos de Europa y nuestros valles y playas.; si,ciertamente es mejor....
Si fuimos a Comillas! Es un pueblo muy bonito. Solo que no está en el video…para guardar el secreto. Pero si está en el blog. Hay un enlace en la descripción. También si esperas hasta el fin del video hay un clip del Capricho de Gaudí.
@@AnyoneCanTravel No me gustan las limosnas.
Lo dicho..asi de esta manera no vengan.
Gracias.
@@AnyoneCanTravel y le recuerdo que el parque natural de los picos de Europa no es de Asturias....pertenece a tres comunidades autónomas..Leon,Asturias y Cantabria...harían bien en informarse ,es un insulto.
@@MariaFernandez-iv3gi
Estás muy ofendida porque no ha sacado a Cantabria, un poco de humildad no te vendría mal
@@juneliv4592 Si parezco ofendida es verdad...estoy cansada del ninguneo general..
No es el primer vídeo de youtubers que ponen pueblos Cántabros cómo si fuesen Asturianos y otros cómo Vascos....no hubiese importado si no fuese por que es constante, y eso le suma como vascos y asturianos nos roban nuestra historia y callamos y callamos.
Ya es cansino.
Estaba ofendida,es cierto...
Algo de culpa tenemos de no salir a defender lo nuestro.
No puedo hablar por todos.
Si ofendí lo siento.
Defendí mal,eso está claro.
The music is completely wrong
Hi! Thanks for letting me know. I’ve had a few people mention that. I just liked the tempo of it, but I’ve learned more about different music in different regions of Spain and I know better for next time. I loved Spain and did not mean to offend in anyway. I hope you enjoyed the video either way though and thank you for the comment.
@@AnyoneCanTravel You're so kind. The video edition is really nice.
Keep going!
Thank you! And thank you for being polite and kind about your feedback as well. I appreciate it. 😊
@@AnyoneCanTravel imagine if i make a video in northern USA, in Salem and Vermont, and as soundtrack i play texan country music with spanish guitar XDD. For us its the same weird feeling.
Another example would be making a video in canterbury, east of London, and play scottish bagpipes dancing the riverdance.
Dont worry too much about it, it´s just that for us it sounds very anachronic and funny. It made me laugh a lot. In fact the music you have used reminds me the caribbean sea, acapulpo or something like that.
When you see people wearing coats because of the cold and rain in the northern coast with the caribbean music, its really weird hehe.
Thanks! This was my fourth video I ever made and I’ve learned a lot since then 😊 Thanks for your comment!
92M Visitors in 2019, not 50M. Then Covid happens and so...
Second most visited in the world after France, and because everyone that comes from Europe to Spain in car, bike, train... comes trough France so they are counted as France Visitors.
Spain is the Nº1 in "holiday destinnation" in the world, this menas not counting visiting, yust the destination.
Ah interesting! That makes sense. Spain is such a beautiful country I’m not surprised it’s the most popular holiday destination.

Soy Donostiarra y opino que no poner a Santander en esta lista es un Sacrilegio
Solo digo que son 6 lugares increíbles no que son los únicos. Hay muchos lugares incredibles que no tuvimos el tiempo de visitar pero voy a incluir Santander en la lista para nuestra próxima visita. Gracias por su comentario 😊
Boring af
Thanks for your comment. Sorry you didn’t like it.
