1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 12 To Him belongs absolute control of the heavens and the earth. He spreads the bounties to whomever He wills, or reduces it. He is aware of all things. 13 He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69 A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 170 O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise. 171 O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. 172 The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 72 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 73 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve. 74 Will they not repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Industrialization was actually the responsible for the abandonment of the Primary sector - Agriculture. This is why the villages are in this state. Manyyyyyyyyy people left for better wages and "high quality of life". Globalism is just the same but on a planetary scale! Now it's not only on villages... It's also in countries. Many people are also leaving cities to another country. De-industrialization of Europe?!?? I'm not sure if that's a thing.... It is a thing because we have low fertility rates... There's less and less people/workers. So eventually industries will shut down. Plus, Asia has a lotttttttt of workers to suplant that decrease. For how long?? That is the question. But I can see that there is a push for people to return to the fields... The so called "Off-Grid" lifestyle?! Yeah... That's an Agriculture movement in disguise. Governments are increasing prices to expel people from the cities, and force them to live in a rural way. Let's see if my theory is true 😅

Or places where pilgrims can overnight. Living semi off grid is very popular nowadays. As long as those places are reachable by car there are still possibilities of reviving them. I wouldn’t mind owning a holiday home in one of those beautiful villages. I could even live there if other people would move there as well. I would install solar panels and create my own food forest. 😊It’s crazy people want to live in polluted cities while there is still so much unspoiled nature in abundance. People that can work from home could also live there. They only need to have a decent Internet connection. It’s very rural, but not the end of the world either.

Great video. I love northern Spain and was married in Bilbao. My brother in law lives and works in Cantabria so I know the region quite well. Actually, that dish of morcilla, migas and fried egg could be served all over Spain. The Spanish government is doing its best to save these villages but it's a lost cause. There's nothing to keep young people in them. No jobs, no opportunities and nothing to do. The Spanish demographic collapse just hastens the problem. Young people don't want to work like their parents in farming (unless it's very profitable) and they are clearing out to move to large towns and cities. I've travelled all over the country and found places like this. Like you, I very much enjoy all facets of Spain and that includes journeying to out of the way places which are not just off the tourist trail but where hardly any Spaniards visit too. I spent some time in the Soria region some years ago and boy is that barren. I've encountered it in every region of Spain. Twenty miles inland from any part of the coast and it's a different world. I love this world but it's vanishing, just as the old Spain has vanished from the 1970's onwards. The Spanish side of my family originate in Valladolid but my wife and I have a small place in a poor village in Malaga's Axarquia. I've been doing my best to document, with oral testimony, from the elderly of our village what life was like in the years after the civil war. My neighbour was 10 years old when Franco's forces arrived in 1936 (the year my father in law was born). She's a great-great grandmother and from her grandchildren on they know nothing about the hard life of her and her contemporaries or the world they lived in. It's vanished along with any interest in it and that is what is happening all over Spain. I really enjoyed this video and I completely agree with your message. Cheers. WT

I live in England the North East Region in former mining villages. [ Lemington, Newcastle upon Tyne] The mines were more or less finished in the mid 70s as I was in mid teens. The 70s were certainly times of arduous labour. My father was a builder and my go to tools were a hugh sledge hammer a pick and a shovel. In 2023 some young men dug up my yard with a mini digger and all the attachments and all the old concrete and clay was grabbed by a hydraulic grab into a 20 ton ? Lorry. I told them back in the late 70s I would have smashed it with the hammer and pick and filled 2 skips a day . Week in week out. Astonishment on there faces. Modern life style in the 80s and 90s with good nutrition, central heating , inside toilets , transport , shopping centres medicine's, and better and better hand power tools brought me and all like me to date. The generations that followed were born into this way of life. With the elders having to adapt into modern technologies but not visa versa for the younger generations. I think it's that way all over the western world. There's a saying .. when the ships were made of wood the men were of steel, when the ships became steel the men were made of wood.

Another brother and I drove from Barcelona through Aragon, Pais Vasco, Cantabria (ending in Potes) and then back through Burgos and Segovia to Madrid.

He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69 A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 170 O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise. 171 O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. 172 The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 72 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 73 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve. 74 Will they not repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

@@jhoenjet 28 How can you deny God, when you were dead and He gave you life, then He will put you to death, then He will bring you to life, then to Him you will be returned? 29 It is He who created for you everything on earth, then turned to the heaven, and made them seven heavens. And He is aware of all things. 30 When your Lord said to the angels, “I am placing a successor on earth.” They said, “Will You place in it someone who will cause corruption in it and shed blood, while we declare Your praises and sanctify You?” He said, “I know what you do not know.” 31 And He taught Adam the names, all of them; then he presented them to the angels, and said, “Tell Me the names of these, if you are sincere.” 32 They said, “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. It is you who are the Knowledgeable, the Wise.” 33 He said, “O Adam, tell them their names.” And when he told them their names, He said, “Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and that I know what you reveal and what you conceal?” 34 And We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” They bowed down, except for Satan. He refused, was arrogant, and was one of the disbelievers. 35 We said, “O Adam, inhabit the Garden, you and your spouse, and eat from it freely as you please, but do not approach this tree, lest you become wrongdoers.” 36 But Satan caused them to slip from it, and caused them to depart the state they were in. We said, “Go down, some of you enemies of one another. And you will have residence on earth, and enjoyment for a while.” 37 Then Adam received words from his Lord, so He relented towards him. He is the Relenting, the Merciful. 38 We said, “Go down from it, all of you. Yet whenever guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My guidance-they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve. 39 But as for those who disbelieve and reject Our signs-these are the inmates of the Fire-wherein they will remain forever.” 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 69 And relate to them the story of Abraham. 70 When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?” 71 They said, “We worship idols, and we remain devoted to them.” 72 He said, “Do they hear you when you pray? 73 Or do they benefit you, or harm you?” 74 They said, “But we found our ancestors doing so.” 75 He said, “Have you considered what you worship. 76 You and your ancient ancestors? 77 They are enemies to me, but not so the Lord of the Worlds. 78 He who created me, and guides me. 79 He who feeds me, and waters me. 80 And when I get sick, He heals me. 81 He who makes me die, and then revives me. 82 He who, I hope, will forgive my sins on the Day of the Reckoning.” 83 “My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and include me with the righteous. 84 And give me a reputation of truth among the others. 85 And make me of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss. 86 And forgive my father-he was one of the misguided. 87 And do not disgrace me on the Day they are resurrected. 88 The Day when neither wealth nor children will help. 89 Except for him who comes to God with a sound heart.” 90 And Paradise will be brought near for the righteous. 91 And the Blaze will be displayed to the deviators. 92 And it will be said to them, “Where are those you used to worship?” 93 Besides God? Can they help you, or help themselves?” 94 Then they will be toppled into it, together with the seducers. 95 And the soldiers of Satan, all of them. 96 They will say, as they feud in it. 97 “By God, We were in evident error. 98 For equating you with the Lord of the Worlds. 99 No one misled us except the sinners. 100 Now we have no intercessors. 101 And no sincere friend. 102 If only we could have another chance, we would be among the faithful.” 103 Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers. 104 Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 47 O you who were given the Book! Believe in what We sent down, confirming what you have, before We obliterate faces and turn them inside out, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. The command of God is always done. 48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 170 O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise. 171 O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. 172 The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 173 But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from God, no lord and no savior. 174 O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light. 175 As for those who believe in God, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path. 15 O People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, clarifying for you much of what you kept hidden of the Book, and overlooking much. A light from God has come to you, and a clear Book. 16 God guides with it whoever follows His approval to the ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness into light, by His permission, and He guides them in a straight path. 17 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Christ, the son of Mary.” Say, “Who can prevent God, if He willed, from annihilating the Christ son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone on earth?” To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates whatever He wills, and God has power over everything. 18 The Jews and the Christians say, “We are the children of God, and His beloved.” Say, “Why then does He punish you for your sins?” In fact, you are humans from among those He created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between them, and to Him is the return. 19 O People of the Book! Our Messenger has come to you, making things clear to you-after a cessation of messengers-so that you cannot say, “No preacher has come to us, and no warner.” In fact, a preacher has come to you, and a warner; and God is Capable of everything. 72 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 73 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve. 74 Will they not repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful. 75 The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a woman of truth. They both used to eat food. Note how We make clear the revelations to them; then note how deluded they are. 76 Say, “Do you worship, besides God, what has no power to harm or benefit you?” But God: He is the Hearer, the Knower. 77 Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth; and do not follow the opinions of people who went astray before, and misled many, and themselves strayed off the balanced way.” 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

Although unfamiliar with rural Spain, your journey reminds me of many adventures in rural Italy. These are the cultural and physically challenging experiences that can pry open the most closed mind. The lessons I have learned from the best of the human race have been in villages like these. Having Italian language skills like you have in Spanish adds an even greater depth to the connections. But it's the depth of the villagers' hearts and humanity that is truly amazing and restorative for me. ❤ Keep on trekking fellow traveler. 👍🏼

Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69 A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 170 O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise. 171 O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. 172 The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 72 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 73 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve. 74 Will they not repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

Those hiking trails are well known and see thousands of visitors every year. While the villages may be dying I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone. In fact, outside of a very few countries, I’d say the countryside is dying all over the world. Most young people would never choose such a hard existence and want to be in cities with all the modern conveniences. I live in Japan and the same scenario is playing out in my little countryside town. The old are dying and the young want to leave. But for me it is a paradise that has everything I need. I feel so grateful to have found this place but I realize that these places exist all over the world (I’ve seen many in your videos) and if you are an adventurous soul then your paradise is out there waiting for you ❤🙏

He is aware of all things. 13 He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion.

He was too proud, and one of the faithless. 75 He said, “O Satan, what prevented you from prostrating before what I created with My Own hands? Are you too proud, or were you one of the exalted?” 76 He said, “I am better than he; You created me from fire, and You created him from clay.” 77 He said, “Then get out of here! You are an outcast! 78 And My curse will be upon you until the Day of Judgment.” 79 He said, “Lord, defer me until the Day they are resurrected.” 80 He said, “You are one of those deferred. 81 Until the Day of the Time Appointed.” 82 He said, “By Your majesty, I will seduce them all. 83 Except for your loyal servants among them.” 84 He said, “The truth is, and I say the truth. 85 I will fill Hell with you, and with every one of them who follows you.” 86 Say, “I ask of you no wage for this, and I am not a pretender. 87 It is but a reminder to mankind. 88 And you will know its message after a while.” 29 Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from God and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers. God has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward. Read The Quran

These small rural village's like this one and across all of Europe is the equivalent of small rural towns in the US, very much isolated and away from the big urban centers, they are slowly dieing off because the jobs have left and the next generation has decided to leave so there is no one left to take over, all the young kids go to college and or university and then they all want to move and live in the select few mega cities which are now overcrowded all while small home town village's along with family farms and small businesses have no one to take over, same thing is happening to small mom and pop towns all over the US.

@MrToradragon 3 ай бұрын

The issue is that small scale farming and production, unless it is some niche or specialized product, is often not competitive anymore due to progress in technology, global trade and in case of Europe overregulation and high tax burden as well. Not to mention that farms in the USA are roughly 10 times larger, on average than in the EU ( 445 acres vs. 43 acres). And such small farms simply can't compete (and it is an issue for well over century) with cheap imports from, e.g. North America or ex. USSR. To some extend the same is true for small scale manufacturing, businesses using old (even if not outright outdated) machinery and practices can't compete with cheap imports of roughly equivalent products made elsewhere in more modern factories or in much greater numbers and often with lower costs. Another thing that plays role in depopulation of some areas is poor road/railway network in some regions that gives almost no other option than to move to some large city, even if it is exactly not megacity.

You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69 A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 170 O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise. 171 O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector. 172 The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of God, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 72 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with God, God has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 73 They disbelieve those who say, “God is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve. 74 Will they not repent to God and ask His forgiveness? God is Forgiving and Merciful. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran

It's been very refreshing watching your video. I'm from Zamora, which is the second most depopulated town in Spain. I am one of the luckiest people who got to remain. Most of my peers moved to bigger cities looking for a job and a better future. But I think that it's safe to say that most of them are looking forward to coming back. I would love people to get to know our land because, as you have pointed out throughout the video, Spain is not all about those touristy places. We are surrounded by nature... we've got a glaciar lake in the north of the province, a hundred-year-old oaks in the region of Sayago, "Los arribes," a natural frontier that we share with Portugal among other things such as customs and friendship. You can enjoy the astonishing romanesque churches spread all around the town and very beautiful traditions like "mascaradas" en Riofrío de Aliste, culture inherited from our ancestors that has survived for centuries. And still....just a few people know that we exist. For anyone reading this comment, you'll be more than welcome if you visit us. ❤

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 12 To Him belongs absolute control of the heavens and the earth. He spreads the bounties to whomever He wills, or reduces it. He is aware of all things. 13 He prescribed for you the same religion He enjoined upon Noah, and what We inspired to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold the religion, and be not divided therein.” As for the idolaters, what you call them to is outrageous to them. God chooses to Himself whom He wills, and He guides to Himself whoever repents. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 31 Say, “If you love God, then follow me, and God will love you, and will forgive you your sins.” God is Forgiving and Merciful. 32 Say, “Obey God and the Messenger.” But if they turn away-God does not love the faithless. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 37 Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning.” 38 Thereupon Zechariah prayed to his Lord; he said, “My Lord, bestow on me good offspring from Your presence; You are the Hearer of Prayers.” 39 Then the angels called out to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary: “God gives you good news of John; confirming a Word from God, and honorable, and moral, and a prophet; one of the upright.” 40 He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41 He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him.

I love this. I'm from Lebanon and a frequent visitor to Spain. I live part of my year in my mountain village in Lebanon that bear a certain resemblance to this lifestyle, except due to Lebanon being small most of the city/town people that are originally from the village come back for the weekend or after the snow melts. The peace you feel and just community warmth in such places is just wonderful, I find it funny how the same people who are not the most pleasant living in town/cities become very friendly and serene when they stay in the mountains

Although I'm glad you like my country, I have to say that these small villages aren't the REAL Spain, but A PART of Spain. Santander (in Cantabria, as you know) are Spain too, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, the albufera in Valencia, Bardenas reales, Pirineos mountains, Canary Islands (including Teide), are part of my country and all of theses places are the real Spain too. So, we are not a predominant rural economy or society. If you preffer, we have two, three or even more faces in our country, we are small one but we have diversity that forms our caracter, but not just few villages or country life.
