watched this 4 times in the last couple of years! Finally, tomorrow I am finally off to Spain to see all these places! Muchas gracias!
Have a fantastic time. I’m going to Spain in four days. I’ll be there for three weeks.
@@wendymeulemans708 Thanks! Good time to go before it gets hot. Ill visit Portugal as well! Have a fantastic time!
Spain is the bomb! One of the most beautiful countries on earth, with a great culture, incredible architecture, countless historical and UNESCO World Heritage sites, friendly people, awesome climate, fantastic beaches and incredible food, it's hard to beat.
Went to Madrid in 2019 and fell in love with the country and its' people. I hope to visit again but trek through the southern portion. Sevilla and Granada are on the list.
El 90% de Andalucia es extraordinario. El Flamenco aparte.😂🇪🇸🤗
Sorry but Nowhere beats ITALY and I live in both countries. Of course I love Andalucia as it's one of the places where I have chosen to live ,but I find that Italy has more diversity and lushness about it,not to mention all of the things it's famous for.
@@angelaberni8873Spain Beats Italy by far.
This is your personal opinion. It's not the truth. Spain is an awesome country with amazing landscapes, charming historical cities, delicious food and sexy people. @@angelaberni8873
Mr.Rick Steves,
First of all,i convey my best wishes and greetings to you on this New Year,2024 !
I appreciate your visit to Andalusia,Spain ! It's a wonderful combination of Muslim and Christian culture,a happy blend of mosque and church ! The beautiful Muslim architecture is definitely a treat to the eyes.Apart from being a historian and tour guide,you seem to have a knack for cooking as well,the way you have narrated the recipe of a certain food,it adds a flavour to it.
Very well said for the Rock of Gibraltar : " The Rock itself seem to represent stability and power!"
Your ability to narrate with such great enthusiasm,encourages the viewers to watch your travel videos with immense pleasure !
Thanks to you for your kind endeavour ! 😊
One of the best videos that I have ever seen about Andalucia, where I lived when retired in 2001 until 2022. I had visited all the cities shown in the video ,some several times. How good to hear and see the 21 years again. Now aged 89 living near Cambridge, U.K..
I am from Puerto Rico and I have visited Spain and it is a beautiful country its where my grandparents are from. Thank you Steve.
Thank you. I have long searched where to buy a bottle of Sandeman Sherry which I akways called Sandman. I use to buy it in the 70's as holiday gifts with Biscottis to give away. I do not drink but can now buy a bottle for cake making. Ah, Jerez, thank you. Bravo for all your valued work. You always capture the wonderment and history of each of your destinations.
I'll be in Southern Spain by April and Andalucia is part of the itinerary.
Me too!
I visited Madrid in 2019. I loved it! Spaniards are beautiful people. Well dressed, well mannered, friendly, helpful and family oriented.
I live in Granada.
Most of the flamenco shows are tourist traps. I recommend ‘Jardines de Zoraya’.
Greek-Spanish painter Goya? Goya was not Greek, I think you are confusing him with El Greco.
Last year I went to Gibraltar in July, for one day, Malaga for 8 days, it’s amazing country, beaches, food and everything! This year in July Alicante (Benidorm) again I’m going there!👍👍👍👍👍!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Love from INDIA🇮🇳❤️
🇮🇳🤝🇪🇦
This video was so good i was sad when it ended. I lived there when I was in the Navy. It made me kind of lonesome. Thank you Rick Steves. ❤
watching from Brazil 🇧🇷
Ole! Truly spectacular.
Thank you so much for sharing
Nice and detailed video of Spain 🇪🇸
Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Steves for this wonderful virtual tour. I am a Filipina and our culture was greatly influenced by Spanish traditions. Our native language incorporates the use of Spanish words. We also celebrate Semana Santa just like they do it there because Philippines is predominantly a Catholic country. Thank you for your efforts to educate us viewers.
Beautiful Spain! Great country and friendly people...
Well Do not confuse Andalusia with Spain. They are quite different. Andalusia is the oldest kingdom of Europe, nothing to do with Spain.
@@logpiv5890 I am a Spaniard and I tell you Andalucía (beautiful region) is part of Spain...No confusion here at all...Just facts
@@logpiv5890 I don't know where do you get that? Andalucia is one of the 17 autonomous regions of Spain, the people have a distinctive accent, just like most other regions in Spain, but they're proud to be Spaniards.
@@loumcast Andalusia is a colony of Spain. Oficially/legally Andalusía is a Nation into Spanish State. Spain was a poor part of Andalusia. But Andalusia was conquered by Spain. Andalusia is not the same as Spain at all. Andalusia is very badly treated in Spain for that difference. Many many singers in Andalusia have made protest sons against Spain. For example yesterday in the Final of famous Cadiz Carnivals. The winner, the "comparsa oveja negra", literally has sung that Andalusia is a w ho. re for Spain. You can find that video online. In only one day has more than 200.000 visits. It seen that many people knows that. Not only me.
@@logpiv5890 The Cadiz carnival is known for doing those chirigotas, they're not serious, they're made to make fun of people, regional costumes, celebrities, politicians, the government, etc., just because they called themselves wh.r.s, doesn't mean it's true. I have travelled extensively throughout Spain, people like you and the nuts in Catalunya and the Vasque country want to divide the country into tiny states, that is crazy. Spaniards need to stop that BS, Spain is too small to be divided into smaller countries, all the constant name calling and complaining of the different regions it's tearing the country apart. The reason the USA is such a great nation, it's because people are united, it doesn't matter if they're black, white, Asian or Latinos, whether they're from different parts of the world, have different religions or customs, they live peacefully and consider themselves US citizens. Spaniards have a lot to learn from the USA, they copy everything else from North America, why don't they start copying how people behave, and how we all consider ourselves Americans, no matter where we come from or where we are in the country.
Bien Gracias, nice video.
Most impressive in Sevilla was the Setas de Sevilla. Too bad you missed it. Yes, it is modern but gives views of archeological digs beneath, a festival area, and an outlook that juxtaposes old and new Sevilla. Definitely go see it!
I would love to visit and live in Spain. I love flamenco and many areas of Spain and Portugal
Flamenco is from Andalusia. Not Spain or Portugal.
@@logpiv5890 So Andalusia is a separate country from Spain. Also, I did not write that Flamenco was in Portugal or Spain. I wrote that I loved it.
In fact, Flamenco is performed in the US as well
@@ArtFreeman First, Andalusia legally is a Nation. Spain was a poor part of Andalusia before Castile conquered Andalusia. Flamenco its an traditional Andalusian song. Nothing to do with Spain. It's true that you can ear flamenco in each part of the world but this is proof of its greatness not a loss of identity. Almost every day politicians and tv of Madrid/Barcelona (spain) insult andalusians for their way of living, customs, songs, idiom, and more. You can find a Royal Andalusian Orchesta in Israel or in Holland, because they respect Andalusia and they know that Andalusia is not the same as Spain. Andalusia is a colony of Spain, thats de only relation. Spain govern rename all the andalusian things as spanish. For example andalusian horse is renamed spanish horse,. The same for andalusian guitar, andalusian language. If you like Andalusia, i thought you should to know that.
@@logpiv5890 I would love to live in Andalusia, Spain, or Portugal. The history of this area fascinates me; of course, I love Flamenco. Thank you for the explanation.
@@logpiv5890 You're a radical person and a separatist. The language in Andalucia is Spanish (with a regional accent). Andalucia is an autonomous region of Spain, it's not a colony. No one has renamed the Andalucian horse breed a Spaniard breed, people from Madrid do not insult people in Andalucia, that is lie if anyone insults the people from Andalucia are those that live in Catalunya. Andalucian people consider themselves Spaniards and it has been like that for centuries, ever since the Reconquista.. Stop spreading lies and propaganda. You're giving Andalucia a bad name by making these outlandish comments and only you believe to be true.
A cheerful blend of enthusiasm and cheeky irreverence - saving the best until last:
NO∞DO
Its wonderful, but you missed out Cadiz! What a shame!
not sure, but this video looks like it was filmed in the late 90s or early 2000s.
It was. It is a compilation of his various travels in that region.
Is this a recent video or a re-release of an older video?

Like from Side
Granada la ciudad más bella
La imagenes son ya un poco antiguas ... Andalucia esta super progresada.
well, the Andalucian history is a clear reminder for all that neither a religion, nor a group of people is better than the others. Everybody has multiple flaws. A group of people that holds a religion cancels the culture, architecture and traditions of the other. No religion is better than the other, so is people. Actually Flemenco has Gypsy(ROMANI) origin.
Granada is sheltered by the Sierra “Nevada” mountain.
Hacienda luisita, chinese... VPO.. TY!
There is the square puzzle video... VPO.. TY!
An der hacienda louisita... German version... VPO.. TY!
What's your name?
"Women wear outlandish dresses (to the April Seville fair) that would look clownish all alone". I find that remark ignorant, insensitive and bigoted.
I was surprised he said something like that, myself.
I wasn't too keen on his remarks about Malaga either as I consider it a lovely city that he didn't even bother to visit.
R these videos copied from rick Steve’s with his permission? These r reruns from old rick Steve’s episode
Di superficie
Actually Andalusia is a Islamic empire, comes from Morocco, and then goes on Spain .
Like look the architecture of palaces, it's kind of strange that are same architecture of Moroccans palaces .
En realidad el proceso fue al contrario.
La cultura andalusí enriqueció lo que ahora es Marruecos
Christ is Risen; 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 for Carnevalè!
interesting take they dont want to lose their culture just their weather ? erm ?
Yes, to a great degree. They build their own neighborhoods, spend most of their time together speaking their mother language, refusing to learn the local language ... all the while enjoying the gorgeous weather and sea, pretty much the only reason they move to live there! Cheaper cost of living would be another reason.
It doesnt exist Re-conquest. Andalusia was the first kingdom of Europe. Andalusia never was a part of Spain before Conquest.
It’s not about “Re” due to Spain, the country, but “Re” due to the area being Christian, then Islamic, and the Christian World’s desire to make it Christian again.
The Spanish empire christianised their colonies in the America, so is Moor empire! One is not better or worse from the other! It is a historical reminder.
Traditions dans les génocides et l'histoire continue dites vous que c'est l'humanisme occidental , la comédie à ce jour ...!
Muslims didnt build those building, they ruledthe country at that time but all those beautiful buildings are built by Spanish engineers and workers, they were only getting orders to copy Islamic writings and carves, that why most of the writing in arabic is not readable, excep the word of الله & محمد because its repeated everywhere so it become familier to the Spanish workers to copy it right
I find Rick Steves tours underwhelming, dont like to use the word phoney, that's too harsh, but try as he might to partake in the different traditions and cultures it looks forced , clumsy, boring. I think he could take the video and have someone else be on screen and do the diolouge.
I am definitely enjoying this because that's one place I really want to go. BUT I think you misspoke when you said that the slaves who hauled water in Ronda were Christian. WHY wouldn't the slaves be Jewish? AND why would they actually have to use slaves rather than people whose jobs it was to do such type of work which could be Muslims Christians or Jews? Please investigate that and if necessary correct it.
The Moors did not conquer all of Iberia, they never conquered Celtic Asturias or the Basque Country, from those unconquered lands the Reconquista began. Nor was Spain ever predominately Muslim Steve, the Christian population was conquered but the majority never converted. The Europeans had the same math Steve, how do you think they built the giant cathedrals? Come on Steve, historically you are usually better than this.
Rick Steves, I don't want to hear from you again. Don't put this on my CZcams channel, please; I consider this man very offensive and his motives dangerously ulterior.
I live in Granada.
Most of the flamenco shows are tourist traps. I recommend ‘Jardines de Zoraya’.
to be honest you can buy flamenco show tickets very affordable in seville and the theater where the show was presented was so close to my hotel, in Madrid and Barcelona, those shows can cost the double,
