España fue el Imperio más grande que ha habido, por favor.

[@ceciliagonzalezgarcia9740]

[@yomismo688]

Spain is astonishing!. U may check out the Spanish Cathedrals and Palaces😍🇪🇦❤️

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

[@yomismo688]

@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Nice, I'll watch it!👍🏻

[@miguelrevertemachado2715]

Por cierto juego de tronos a rodado varios capítulos en algunos de ellos , el desembarco del Rey es uno de ellos...👍

Americans basically know of Europe countries where the USA was in World War II: Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom... since Spain did not participate in WW2, it has always remained a little-known European country in the USA. Although In fact, the Spanish helped the 13 colonies to achieve their independence from England, since the Spanish governor Bernardo de Galvez, from Florida, harassed the English and helped the rebels. Spain is similar in size to Texas, but with the climatic and landscape diversity of a continent, in addition to a historical variety unique in Europe.

[@borsho9889]

Its normal when you think about europe you think about england, france, italy. I hope we can do better in Spain to make it change a bit.

Sin duda lo mas hermoso que han visto mis ojos es la Ahambra de Granada, tanto por fuera como por dentro aparte de ser una de la ciudades mas bellas de España

There are about 700 castles and strongholds in Aragón region, and a list of the few most important ones, Loarre castle is the first on the list, i personally know another one on the list, Mequinenza castle, it was restored in 1959 and even decorated to resemble its glory times, as happened with the other castles, they brought stonemasons from around the country to rebuild it, and during the restoration they made an extra bedroom carving in the exterior wall

[@markosabernal4613]

I explain about the castle of mallorca. In mallorca there are no rivers and the water from fountains is not always accessible, otherwise the water collectors are used. In the center of the castle there is a cistern that indicates that in the subsoil there is a large cistern to store rainwater. That is why the roof tiles of the castle, if you see them in the picture, are quite inclined to help the water to go down.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

@markosabernal4613 - Thanks for expaining that! Makes sense.

[@CBOANDALUCIA]

Well, you can have your preferences about European countries and architecture, but you should know that Spain it's in the TOP 3 of UNESCO Heritage List and 15 cities as UNESCO Heritage Places. That's facts. I'll try to add a link in other comment about this, bc if you likes castles and fortress, you need to see the Motilla del Azuer, the Copper Age city of Los Millares and its fortress around, and the great walls of the Argar culture city of La Bastida de Totana.

[@CBOANDALUCIA]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5OVgoGnncScfNEsi=x3neX2frDnaaDsp- This it's Motilla del Azuer. It's wrote in Spanish, but I can translate it if you need it.

[@CBOANDALUCIA]

YT deleted the links, what a pity. Try to find something of this.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

@@CBOANDALUCIA - I got one of your links. Thanks!

[@CBOANDALUCIA]

@@Average_Middle_Aged_American My pleasure, as a History fan, it's allways great to share tiny pieces of our History and culture.

El castillo de Loarre, es un castillo medieval construido sobre un asentamiento romano en los años 1023 y siguientes y es uno de los mejores conservados de su estilo en Europa. Ridley Scott lo eligió para el rodaje de la película Kingdom of Heaven.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

1023! Amazing! Thanks for commenting!

[@fcjose31]

Como el de Medellin, o el de Santa Barbara en Alicante, eran de Origen Romano pero luego llegaron Visigodos, después Árabes y después Cristianos y los fueron remodelando, aunque el de Medellin mantiene mas su estilo antiguo, la Alcazaba de Málaga también Fue Cartaginesa, luego Romana, Visigodos y Árabes, al Final la reconquista Cristiana, España era zona tambien de las Cruzadas.

Deberias ver los grandes monasterios y Catedrales, como Montserrat, Guadalupe, el Escorial, Samos, Roncesvalles, Calatrava, catedrales de Burgos, Sevilla, santiago, Toledo,Córdoba, León, Burgo de Osma, Tarragona, Mallorca, etc.etc. saludos.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Howdy! I think I have figured out how to post my video on Mezquita, Córdoba , León Cathedral , Basilica of St. Isidoro , Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela , Burgos Cathedral , Toledo Cathedral , Sevilla Cathedral , and Sagrada Família, Barcelona. I should be able to publish it soon. Thanks for checking out my channel!

[@maitesaot8711]

El castillo de Bellver en Mallorca fue construido como residencia real. En el centro del patio hay un brocal de cisterna por lo que en el subsuelo debe haber un aljibe para almacenar agua. En cualquier caso debe haber algún sistema para recoger aguas

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Makes sense. Thanks!

[@JoséMiguelPéAr]

Hola, lo primero disculpas por escribir en español, no se ingles. He visto a varias personas que hacen reacciones que ponen los videos como si los vieses en un espejo, al parecer así el sistema que tiene YT no los detecta para hacer saltar el copyright.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Howdy from America! Thanks for the information!

[@kakarottvegeta2897]

I don´t know why Peñiscola Castle is in that list... is very small and is full of new buildings , I would have put the castle of "la mota from Valladolid" instead or "Manzanares del real on Madrid" or "los templarios in Ponferrada"...I mean theres a lot better than that one.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

I will have to check them out!

[@anacasanova7350]

Seguro que habría un pozo de aguas subterráneas 😂 en Mallorca hay una gran Cordillera llamada de Tramuntana, de ahi saldria toda el agua.😊 La lluvia en Sevilla, España, Es una maravilla.😂

[@kaekae4010]

If you like motorcycles and you are a European who likes to travel on them, don't just stay doing the Pyrenees, travel through Aragon, the Basque country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. You're going to freak out very hard.

[@FalcoSorreo]

It's a shame that your reaction to the video on cathedrals in Spain was taken down. I would have watched that.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

I think it will be published tomorrow. I did some editing and added some background music. Not perfect but should pass.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Nevermind, just got copyrighted again.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

New Cathedrals in Spain video has been published.

[@FalcoSorreo]

@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Thank you for letting me know.

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Another one coming tomorrow (more interior footage.)

[@jabato9779]

Why there is only music for most of the video?

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Honestly? Because I screwed up. LOL. My guess is it had some copyright nonsense and the song selected to replace music ended up being the whole video. I will fix it. THANK YOU for letting me know. Let me know if any other videos seemed messed up. AMAA

[@Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Video is fixed. Thanks for letting me know!

[@jabato9779]

@@Average_Middle_Aged_American You are welcome. Thanks, that was a fast fix! I will watch the video again, I am curious about how you look at us in Spain. Castles is a never-ending thing in Spain (I have three thick volumes with many of them and their history). They pop up like mushrooms in the middle of nowhere. Some are not really known and are kind of abandoned (not the first time I have been all alone in one). One great I pick at random of this kind: Castillo de Zafra (dirt road to get there; Game of Thrones filmed there a couple of scenes, I think). By the way, some castles, palaces and monasteries are kept as hotels to preserve them e.g. the Paradores chain of hotels, which is owned by the state, is the most famous e.g. some examples: Parador de Sigüenza (castle, reconstructed in the 12th century on top of older ones: Roman, Muslim..), Parador de Santo Estevo in Orense (monastery, with origins in the 6th-7th century although more "modern" refurbishments were made). Oh, and Parador of Úbeda (Palace, 16th century). I tell you, sleeping in their old rooms, taking even a coffee in their courtyards or in their halls, is an experience by itself (food too, always good). Google these examples, they are worthy, and so much more I would need pages... and myself I keep exploring all the secrets tucked away in Spain (I keep adding more to my to-do list and cannot keep the pace!). PS. I have not seen other videos with music and I think I watched all of those Spain-related.

Of course you have a European culture. You literally speak an European language therefore you are at least europeanised. You've an Anglo culture, a western cosmo vision like literally everybody in the Americas 😂 You may have certain elements proper to Americans but basically quite European by heritage. Sorry for the realism
