Adventure Elliot is a bilingual travel vlogger (English and Spanish) with a particular interest in the Spanish speaking world. I enjoy taking adventures - big or small - and my goal is to show the Spanish speaking world 1 video at a time.
The goal of my channel is simple yet complex: I want to document and share authentic & educational content of anything related to Adventure Travel, Geography, & Language in the Spanish-speaking world. It's kind of a loaded topic, but it allows me to never exhaust my creative outlets. The truth is, I've always been extremely passionate about what I'm doing on my channel, but I never properly documented it when I started adventuring as a younger man in my college years. I've made over 150 KZbin videos in both English and Spanish, and I have aspirations to make 1000s more. If that sounds interesting to you, join the community and follow me along the way.. After all, we're just getting started.

Wow... This area of Galicia is very interesting to me especially the area of LUGO. My last name is LUGO and I believe that my family name originated somewhere around there. My father was born in SAN GERMÁN PUERTO RICO.( 1933-2002 ) I am a 66 year old N.Y.C. 🇵🇷 born and raised in the Bronx. My dad was had more of a TAINO INDIAN AND MY MOTHER ( 1934 - 2002 ) and was born in MARICAO, PUERTO RICO and had more of a FEATURES OF A SPANIARD. I am an American Expat living in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I married a Filipina in 2019 and my wife LOVES my SPANIARD FEATURES ( SOY BLANCO CON OJOS VERDE ). I hope to travel someday to LUGO, SPAIN someday.... Thanks for sharing Amigo, safe travels.

Galician here. The palms planted in front of the houses was, traditionaly, a symbol of a Indian house, meaning someone that went to South America and came back. I don´t think nobody in galicia likes the eucalypthos, it is an invaside specie planted by the wood industry and it destroys the natural habitat of the native trees like Carballos (oaks) and wild pine trees. Eucalipthos are also one of the reasson why there are this uncontrolable fires that we are suffering every two or three years here, including this year 2022 where they have to evacuate a town the same day I´m writting this :( The horreo had this legs so the rats do not eat the grain. You also past through a cruceiro at 5:00 which is also a tipical galician structure that historically referred to a crossroad, with the christian cross on the top because in medieval times, bandits use to lurk on the crossroads to rob people, so it was an attempt to make the road somehow protected by Jesus or something. It´s always a pleasure to have someone showing our culture and our way of living man ! Cheers

[@plusultra6199]

I know people who like the eucalypthos because they've sold them in order to make land that isn't worth much, pay for itself.

🇵🇹Português aqui, quero visitar Galicia um dia, Galicia é a mãe de Portugal e a língua galega é muito parecida com português

[@lilcaldoverde]

@EseMota só é mais parecido com o espanhol porque os castelhanos vos obrigaram a falar à moda deles, até porque portugues e galego vieram da mesma lingua, enquanto o castelhano já é uma separação muito mais antiga

[@lilcaldoverde]

@EseMota Obrigaram sim, basta veres a história, galego foi proibido durante anos, e até sobrenomes//apelidos galegos foram alterados para parecerem mais castelhanos

[@lilcaldoverde]

@EseMota "Proibida por Francisco Franco [...] punida caso fosse falada, ensinada ou difundida. [...] o que originou a uma aquisição deficiente da língua por parte das gerações até ao final dos anos 70, quando o regime ditatorial caí e é reconhecida novamente a categoria de língua tanto ao galego como às outras línguas que se falavam em Espanha." via: Wikipedia (Em Português)

[@lilcaldoverde]

@EseMota Sim, mas lá está, sendo assim a língua perde força, e por causa disso o galego acabou por se aproximar mais do castelhano talvez nessa época, pois antes disso o galego e o português eram a mesma língua, mas o português também mudou muito de fonética depois dessa época e da independência de Portugal

[@lilcaldoverde]

@EseMota Sim, ele era galego, mas ao proibir a aprendizagem da lingua ele queria que o castelhano fosse a unica lingua da Espanha, era esse o objetivo inicial mas não funcionou

/ Galician is a dialect of Portuguese Language

[@edstar83]

​​@@endouceurendouceur318 You mean Portuguese is a dialect of Galician. The language was spoken in North West Ibiera aka Galicia long before the Kingdom of Portugal was even founed.

[@DanielTxRib]

No, before the Kindom of Portugal was founded people spoke Galician-Portuguese. That language over time gave way to both Galician and Portuguese@@edstar83

[@jiveturkeeymc]

@@edstar83 actually the Galician language comes from Galician-Portuguese, which spread south with the expansion of the Christian Reconquest. So we can't say that Portuguese evolved from Galician, or vice versa. There was in fact an archaic phase, during the Middle Ages, called Galician-Portuguese, which came to be the language spoken on both banks of the Minho river.

I live in Galicia. I'm American, but Galicia is my chosen home. I love the video, but it was disappointing to hear you have so many lovely interactions with the locals, then go on to say that despite that, Galicians are known to be unfriendly compared to other Spaniards. That has not been my experience at all. As a foreigner living here, I've been humbled to tears on many occasions at the kindness, helpfulness and openness of Galegos. I love them and hate for people to believe that if they come here, they would be met with suspicion or unfriendliness.

[@tatianaschoenfield9819]

He said that they are initially reserved, not unfriendly.

[@chico_zombye]

@@tatianaschoenfield9819 We are not really that reserved, we are just too "to the point" for a lot of cultures. People think we are harsh sometimes but we just tend to not sugarcoat anything, so when someone comes and takes his time to get to the point (which is the common way of speaking in most places) it's probably going to get a "yeah, but what do you really want?" stare because tha's a suspicious way of talking here, you are hiding your true intentions (the question itself). It goes both ways for when we want to say a good thing, like the old woman who just said "Tonecho(name), this guy is lovely, come talk to him", straight to the point even when complimenting him. A simple example: "hey, do you know a place to eat?" to a complete stranger will have 100% of our atention and help. "hey, hi, I'm Lucas, I'm traveling from Vasque Country to Santiago and I'm exhausted already, would you know a place to stay and relax around here?" will have a "what do you really want?" look until the "Would you know a place to...." because we just don't use that way of comunication, it sounds suspicious to us. That's why we are famous for replying with another question. Because if things are not very clear, if we don't trust the question, we will use our own safety net which is asking to be sure.

I truly enjoyed your video. My father was born in O'Grove, located in Galicia. When I travel to visit family in O'Grove, it takes several days for my brain to decipher the Galician speech and cadence. The language is a mixture of Spanish, Portuguese and a sprinkle of French. The area is beautiful and the people are friendly, but guarded. I'm glad you touched on the dark side of paradise. We lost a cousin (over 30 years ago) to a heroin overdose. Back then, the Spanish coast was largely ignored for illicit cargo. Today most of the drugs are trafficked in larger metropolitan areas. Thanks.

Bueno yo soy gallego, con bisabuelos y tatarabuelos gallegos de un valle entre las sierras de Lugo, y puedo confirmar que el carácter de las gentes de nuestra tierra es muy desconfiado al principio. Cuesta hacerse un sitio, parecido a lo que pasa con los vascos, pero una vez te haces es para siempre. Lo peor que puedes hacer para conseguir amistades en Galicia es hablar mucho. Si vienes de fuera y hablas demasiado desconfiarán de ti todavía más. Si nos fijamos en el vídeo, cuando Elliot entró al bar y dijo sus primeras palabras, el dueño del local sonreía pero los otros tenían caras muy largas. No hay que tomárselo a mal, la gente simplemente es así al principio en nuestra tierra. Quizás la gente más cerrada que conocí fue la de las montañas de Lugo y la de un pueblo llamado As Pontes. Se tarda bastante en hacer buenos amigos en Galicia si vienes de fuera. Lo mejor es ser educado, respetuoso, hablar poco y despacio sin intentar hacerse el gracioso. Con el tiempo las amistades vendrán solas.

Hola Elliot, soy gallego y vivo en Madrid, me ha encantado ver como has disfrutado de mi tierra, que yo considero única en el mundo, y he visitado 63 paises a lo largo de mi vida, pero Galicia es especial, yo lo se, asi pues te felicito por el reportaje y por demostranos que también hay norteamenricanos que sienten interés y tienen conocimientos de otras culturas. Que tengas una larga vida llena de viajes por todo el mundo. Y puedes decir que has estado en la parte de Epaña más misteriosa y mística, llena de leyendas ancestrales.

Beautiful part of spain . People are nice landscape, and fauna are pretty . Next holiday, 2024, great video, my friend

Well done, Elliot! You got the stuff! You, by far, outdo Rick Steves, you become a part of the people with so much ease! Bravo!

Wow! That’s one of the best comments I’ve received on this channel.. ever!

I'm visiting Galacia soon and watching YT to get an idea of what to see/do while I'm here. This is the SWEETEST, most genuine video I've come across. Thank you!

[@estilatorre8928]

Que gran esfuerzo Elliot, pero lo conseguiste💪, maravillosos paisajes gallegos y su gente, me encantó el video!! Precioso homenaje🙏❤

[@moonmist9]

Wowwww what a place and what a fitting tribute to your grandfather! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@TheAmigodaniel]

I really enjoyed your adventure Elliot. I traveled to Spain a few weeks Ago and as you saw the beauty of the land at Galicia y Santiago de Compostela. It's expressless and you can not describe with words the feelings inside the heart. Hopefully I will comeback to La Galicia soon. Also makes me happy to see more people like you enjoying and sharing their experiences. Spain is an amazing land! Also remains in my heart the kindness of the People of Galicia, God bless them all! Keep the adventure!

[@AdventureElliot]

Thanks for watching and thanks for writing in English! Glad we shared similar thoughts and feelings on the north. I’ve got a lot of videos from the north.. un saludo

[@TheAmigodaniel]

I watched your video about LUARCA and ASTURIAS (i was also there), was just amazing Bro. Am full of Nostalgic Feelings. Thanks Bro. Am preparing my next trip to Spain, probably Sevilla and the Famous Plaza de Toros. I'll keep watching/enjoyning your stuff Bro. Would like to know if you are in Spain and maybe we can share an adventure together. I Speak also Español and my Portugues is not bad. Also I speak Hebrew since am from Israel but came to the Hollyland from Chile. Long Story Bro. Hope you are doing well! Keep Watching and thinking the next trip. Thanks for the Inspiration!!! Nos vemos!

[@twelvetoes-e9n]

I walked this route too!!! IT IS STUNNING. Great video and now I'm flooded with memories of this magical place. It such an incredible feeling to jump in the freezing ocean after coming down off the mountain and being so sore!

[@anarbee]

Thank you so much for this! As a Galician I feel very proud of my region and seeing the respect you had for our people and our history is very touching. Galicians might look a bit serious on the outside but once they see you're a nice person they'll welcome you with open arms at their homes. I hope you had a great experience doing O Camiño!

[@ch1ckenphat514]

I don't hear my native tongue anymore. Being from Ezaro and away from there for so long I needed to hear this. One of the most beautiful regions of Spain.

[@GOLDESCAFLOWNE]

Excellent just fabulous!

[@ramonguslav]

As someone from Galiza I think it's great that people like you gets other people to know about our region, our language, our traditions... Good job.

Enhorabuena Elliot! Congrats on reaching the end of the world. Condolences on your loss, as well. I love Galicia, I will be there again in March 2023. I will travel from Zaragoza to Santiago de Compostela through Ponferrada for Semana Santa. I can't wait.

[@AdventureElliot]

Hey Phx, I saw you followed me on the Spanish channel as well. That's awesome, you're the type of viewer I love for my channels. Glad you got a big trip coming - lots of time to prepare!

Lo siento mucho querido Elliot ☹️ seguro que tu abuelo estaría orgulloso del explorador en el que te has convertido. R.I.P.

Thanks Phil. This was a hard one to edit but I did it in his memory. It’s surreal. A few moments after I filmed this video on the top of that mountain there, he called me on FaceTime and that was the last time I would talk to him.

Living the dream, If I had a better grasp of Spanish and Portugese I would definitely backpack along the coast and see the lands of our ancestors.

Just go. You will find your tribe as you go...

I just did the Camino De COMPOSTELA, from Portugal (Porto), to Santiago. I walked the coastal route to the central, entered Spain through Tui. I'm 61, I did not train. It's one of the best ways to see this beautiful region

[@ILAYRUNI]

amzing video! you made it so well! felt like i was there :)

[@CollapsingRealities]

I'm from Barcelona (Northeast Spain) but I've been living in Galicia (Northwest Spain) for more than seven years. There's a distance of about 1,000 kilometres between Catalonia (the autonomous community where Barcelona is) and Galicia, and the idiosyncratic differences between Catalans and Galicians are remarkable. I wouldn't call Galicia 'the strangest region of Spain' but, yeah, Galicians are far quieter than the average Spaniard and slightly aloof. There's a Spanish saying that goes 'Galicians are reserved, but those who make a Galician friend have a friend for the rest of their lives'.

[@anthonybranco]

Galicians are reserved like Azorean Portuguese. Similar.

[@davesaunders7080]

Sorry for your loss. Thanks to your videos he could follow your adventures as we all can. Soon I will be in Galicia too, Vigo and area as part of a Portugal trip.

[@davidwatts968]

So sorry to hear about your grandpa’s passing. These things are never east no matter what age someone is. Many condolences to you Elliot and your family. Manténgase seguro descansando sus pies doloridos Gracias Amigo

[@AdventureElliot]

Hey David.. Thanks for watching, take care.

[@aknudsen93]

Thank you for a wonderful video and I am crying now because I hiked part of the Camino and my dad would have been so happy. Still trying to get back and hike the entire Camino. Galicia is beautiful. When I was in Santiago I had to go to a laundromat. My hiking clothes were washed, dried and wrapped in white paper with string, like a gift. I don't know why I remember this except Maria, the manager of the pension I stayed at explained the name. The laudromat was in Gallego so she wrote out the name for me. There are so many cultures, languages and history in Spain. Such a beautiful country.

[@princesssangel717]

I'm originally from La Coruna, Galicia Spain . The crosses that you saw in the country side are all over. They are from the Roman times. My father was from Lugo, my great grandparents and grandparents remains are. Yes, it's amazing to see the cemetery are very small and aren't under ground. Hope you also, saw the Castro's.. That are from the Celtic times. They amazing! Thank you for sharing.. 😍❤

[@eejster0357]

Awesome video. 25km walk?! Wow. Love your interaction with thr locals. Perks of travelling alone is you crave some interaction and that ads to the overall experience. Love it. ❤ RIP to your grandpa

[@joanofarcxxi]

Well, Elliot, I am a Lusitanian. Now you have to go to my country if you haven't been yet. Experience thousands of years of history, delicious food, and friendly people. Like our Galician sisters and brothers. This was a very nice video.

[@robertocapelan436]

Cool video. My family is from Galicia and I spent most of my childhood summers there. You did a nice job of capturing the curiosity and outgoing nature of Gallego's. The closer to the cities you get the more chatty people are. I've never been to Muxia, but after seeing how beautiful it is in your video, I'll have to visit next summer.

Palm trees grow in the north costal areas of Spain with no problem because winters in that area are not very very cold as you mentioned, but mild.

17:14 El idioma vasco es el único idioma nativo ibérico, a mucha gente no le gusta porque tiene un toque áspero, pero yo creo que eso mismo es lo que lo hace especial. Es un tesoro prerromano y una lengua aislada que nos hace falta cuidar. Siento lo de tu abuelo, yo llevo 8 años sin mi _aitona_ , me dolió mucho porque era un día muy soleado en el que volvía muy contento a casa, la noticia fue un contraste muy gris. Un saludo a mis paisanos gallegos.

Me encanta el euskera, su sonido y sobre todo los nombres propios que tenéis. Y más me gusta ir de visita de vez en cuando, como gallego me siento prácticamente como en casa.

❤ your spirit. Thanks for sharing. I finished my first Camino (Francis) in Santiago and then continued on to Finisterre, then north to Muxia. The memories come flooding back. 👍Watching your journey end on the cliffs near the church in Muxia. I did go to Mass there. It was awesome. Buen Camino.
