I've walked into Santiago de Compostela four times, it never disappoints.
I spent the last summer there,one of the best times of my life.Great city,I hope I will go back soon.
Galician is not a mix of Spanish and Portuguese, portuñol is that. Galician is actually older than Portuguese and its origin is the vulgar latin that was spoken in Galicia before Castilian became the language of the peninsula.
hahaha. I immediately scrolled down to find this comment. I knew i'd find it.
Ten years ago I was there as a student of the USC, University of Santiago de Compostela. They offeres many variety of programs, from trecking the 'Camino', learning Galician cuisine, or it's history, literature, you name it. Afternoon was my favorite time, walking every corners of the charming town, even everyone of the souvenir shops saluded me ¡Annon aseo!
Although I'm Japanese 😅
How is the weather ? My wife and I prefer cold weather , we are tired living in Hot Ga. USA
I loved our walk to Santiago after 800km it was an amazing spiritual journey. Thank you for sharing ❤😊
The exterior and interior of the cathedral have now been fully restored, as have the exteriors of many of the buildings and streets shown in this video. The old city looks mostly pristine now. It's a very special place to visit.
J'ai passé 2 mois à Saint Jacques de Compostelle et j'aime beaucoup les gens de la Galice ils sont très accueillants .
Shout out to all the people that watch this because it's their homework
fax
Yup
Homeschool life be like that
かか
Beautiful city enjoyed it thoroughly
That gigantic censer looks like the deacons are just having a bit of fun in the church, but I suspect it must have been created to mask the smell of all those sweaty pilgrims.
dlwatib it was the reason for it , actually
Gracias por compartir, buen camino, un saludo.
Thank you for sharing this video with information about the importance of this pilgrimage. Greetings from India .
Fantastic video of my city. Perfectly portraited and described. Thanks for sharing.
Is it hot or cold weather ?
@@Fili2009able Depends comparing to what. For European standards it’s mild. Not too hot, not too cold. Rainny
Como no amar tan linda ciudad que bendecidos los que viven en ella
The Botafumeiro swings on every Friday for the pilgrims mass during 2014.
Completing a full Camino is a life fulfilling accomplishment.
lindo - otimo video
Brazil
Pulpo a la gallega es lo mejor!😋
Excelent !!!
"Embracing him from behind"- I laughed. Quite inappropriately.
I didn't expect that to be literal.
I would love to go there

Good job :)
You did your studies wrong. Galician is not a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish, it is older than Spanish.
One thing, the galician lenguage it isn't a mix of spanish and portugues
Dijo que el gallego es una mezcla entre español y portugues, pero el portugues procede del gallego y deriva mucho mas del latin que del castellano
Eu conheci a cidade de SANTIAGO de Compostela foi sempre um sonho meu adorei a igreja muito linda , e a cheio o idioma galego muito claro a pronuncia creio que para os brasileiros é mais inteligível que o o português carregado com o sotaque tipico de Portugal
Hi, I would like to know if we can use your video for the french tv ? can we speak by email please ?
Its about 800 km form the Pyranees to Santiago. But you can start from a city, that is less than 800 km from Santigao away. But its really better to do the whole way!
I have to get one of those Octopus plates!! :-)
..and it is even better with a good glass of Albariño!
gracias senora for a fuente that is actually in English
I have to watch this for class and I'm in so much pain
El castellano,catalan y gallego para empèzar no son mezclas de nada, derivan como todos sabemos del latin y el portugues deriva del gallego. sin embargo el castellano esta muy influenciado por el arabe ya que tiene en su vocabulario incorporadas cientos de palabras, expresiones en esta lengua debido a la influencia que esta cultura tuvo durante siglos en el centro y sur de España.
Shalom from Indonesia.. 🙏🙏😇
Amo o galego♥
The attraction of Santiago de Compostela is not mysterious this St James' Day. God bless you and all the many pilgrims who are again able to travel freely.
he pronounced "compestela" and "gallego" wrong!!! but anyway, this church is so beautiful, and even more so in person!! i should, i went. here's a fun fact; he forgot to mention tht when you pat the back of St. James, its only on the holy year, the last one last summer, 2010, when i was there, so i got to go up. there are so many carved beatuties there, and so much gold, its indescribable. tho from afar, i thought st. james was actually a real person sitting all king-like up there! amazing!!
@AnAngelOfMercy Way cool!
Not bad idea, Italo, but, you know, the octopus is better, surprisingly, with red wine (the characteristic red popular wine in Galicia: not the quality of white one or another red wines along Spain, but the more fitting to octopus, for instance). Specially Barrantes or Rubiós, but if you let the barman guide, you always can find nice surprises and discoveries.
O Galego é unha evolución linguística de 3000 anos . E logo non sabes que presenta un vocabulário mixto de palavras latinas + palavras pré-romanicas , celtas . + o português é considerado unha evolución linguística do galego
Antonio luiz Garcia sobrinho es facil aprender gallego?
Pero qué dis oh, iso sería na idade media, agorar é claramente unha mezcla entre portugués e castelán
É exatamente isso que eu pensava. O Galego é a lingua mãe, e o Português um variante que evoluiu em uma língua separada.
I want to go see this Church on a festival day
1:32 netherlands PM?
Galego is not a mix of spanish and portuguese.
wow that octopus looks delicious!
@12353Jack its absolutely beautiful, i went last summer!
Galician is a mix of spanish and portuguese... okay... that's funny man but I don't think so
+Miguel Huertas Abrantes it actually is
verdade? que pailarocadas din de verdade
+adrian martinez I'm sorry but I don't agree... I live in Galicia and I've studied Galicia for all my life (history and all of that stuff) I can tell you that Galician and Portuguese are like brothers, on the one hand you had Spanish and on the other hand you had Galician-Portuguese but the isolation of Galicia due to the independence of Portugal (and also other stuff) divided this language into two languages: Portuguese and Galician. Maybe you'll not agree, but that's up to you, thanks for reading ;) :)
+Bey Knowles Sen dúbida... ese malo costume de falar do que non se sabe, un saúdo ;)
That's exactly what I said!
Hubiera sido mejor que nosotros hablaramos gallego que español, porque nosotros tendríamos un diálogo entre ejemplo:(brasileño y argentino) tranquilamente esto lo yo lo digo si España hubiera adoptado el gallego como lengua oficial(el castellano se hubiera quedado como un idioma más de España) y además hubieran llevado la lengua a América Latina, solo es mi opinión.
o Galego é unha evolución linguistica de 3000 anos . Elogo non sabes que presenta un vocabulario mixto de palabras latinas + palabras pré-romanicas , celtas . + o portugues é considerado unha evolución linguística do galego
Santiago in English means Saint James
And Santiago in France seans Saint Jacgues
Your video is interested but you there are some mistakes about our language
I love spain.
2:02
perdoa , tu pais na tua espanha que na Galiza , pais é Galiza . Podes incluso mirar nos telediarios galegos

My last name is Gallegos which stems from galicia galego
si no le gusta la opresión, por favor, repita esta palabra, "Ya Hussain".!
Santiago de Compostela is a wonderful city in Spain.
That's not the final destination. Finisterre is ;)
Perdona pero el Galego presenta una formación linguística mixta basada en el latin + el Q-céltico . Por esso la lengua galega presenta similitudes tanto coas demais lenguas latinas pero tamén características presentes tamén no gaélico . Empezando por centos de palabras coa construción similar comparado co gaélico , una morfossintaxe que se acerca mas al gaélico y que dicir del emprego de los verbos como levantar = sentido de construir como ejemplo
BEAUTIFUL CHURCH. THE INCENESE IS HUGE!
reja = iron grille
Enrique = Henry
Alfonso = Alphonse
Rodrigo = Roderick
Galician and Portuguese were the same language, they are similar to Spanish cause all come from latin, but they are not the same. So nexr time you record a video be sure that the information is correct. The other things are ok
That is a serious incense burner.
when I reach the city in my journey,I will not thank a statue for making the voyage safe
Los gallegos somos españoles, viva Galicia y viva España
In Galicia were the land of celtics and portugal of moors that the diferent and i can,t undersantad a portugués speaker and i ca,nt understand talk a portugués galego is a romance language . And catalán is a mix of spanish and italian? That is a wrong
Galego is the roots of portugués becouse old kingdon of Galicia had two parts actually Galicia and smooll county Portugal When portugal had independence of Galicia grow up bye the south expelling moors. Galego is older than spanish and galego have many words the celtic origin. And spanish have many words the moors origen . And the reallity is the romance language italian france spanish galego portugués sre dialect of Latin . Becouse portugués ha 300000 millons of natives speakers and galego 3000000 that no true portugués are more important becouse wothout galego there are not portugal
Lástima que el vídeo no esté en castellano.
The Chandelier in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is more impressive than that incense bruner!!
No think I'll pass on the Catholicism
Galiza is not s-Pain!
FREDOM 4 GALIZA freedom to all opressed nations by the hands of imperialist latins spanish freedom to the 7 celtic nation and the others CATALUNYA and EUSKERA
