After this trip, I'm really excited to get back up north again soon. Maybe Asturias, maybe Cantabria. Or more of Galicia! Where in northern Spain should we make a video about? (BTW -- next week we have another video from Galicia, so stay tuned!)

It seems Spain is quite varied landscapes, food, cultures, even weather.

Im spaniard from the basque country, the paradors are ancient castles or medieval palaces that became in hotels since XIX. Century. Many spanish king went to these castles specially in north because of tranquility, even these hotels has stars. In some of them you will feel like being in medieval era as a knight.

In the movie “What Dreams May Come” with Robin Williams, the depiction of heaven was shown as having beautiful vibrantly colored landscapes. The feeling in this movie was that the characters in heaven were living inside of a painting. Likewise, all the various landscapes shown in this video seemed like something out of a dream, and as if they were painted by an artist. The beauty of the area is so stunning that words cannot not truly describe it. It helped that the pace of the video was slow and deliberate so you could have that dream-like experience of it. I would dare say that you would have to feel a spiritual connection to this environment. There is a reverence to the whole place. The wild mushrooms and seafood dish had me so envious, and I also wish that I could try “la quemada” (something that I’ve never had before, except for something only slightly similar, when I had a flaming Sambuca drink with coffee beans added). Thank you so much for sharing such a magical trip and for keeping the flame alive that I will eventually have the opportunity to have my own visual experience of where you’ve been. My bucket list now just simply reads: “Spain”.

Guys, the quality of videography, music, and editing along with the voice over are your best yet. Epic work. Talk about showcasing the man-made enveloped into the most amazing nature. Great job. On a personal note, I wish everyone in Spain the best. It has been a trying year to say the least. Spanish people deserve the best. They have been through so much. Lots of love to you two and the people of Spain. Greetings from the USA.

We moved form Sydney three years ago. Life in Ribiera Sacra is perfect. Don't tell too many people about us though. We like it quiet here!

[@bradleyharvey4250]

Galicia is my favorite place on Earth. I hope you two visit often. As soon as travel restrictions are lifted, I'm on my way.

[@waspKGTX280]

[@adamjames931]

Wonderful video guys!!. Galicia is my most favourite place in Spain - probably the world.....Thank you for making this.

[@Alejandra-bp9qe]

Im a little sad because this places are being discovered now for tourists... its better they continue being a little secret with no crowds.. :(

¡No podemos tener mejor embajador de España! Deberías ser el Ministro de turismo.

[@nigeldawson8218]

Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria... my favorite parts of Spain.

[@srilankan87]

[@fablb9006]

Spain is so beautiful

[@jackiekrumhardt7373]

I had no idea of the beauty of Galicia. I am pleased you highlight the Paradors when you travel. I have been telling my friends how amazing they are for a long time.

[@davedogge2280]

I'm so lucky to be in Spain. Videos like this just show me that I got to go out there and sample yet more of this fine country.

[@marianacaffaro]

I'm so happy you came to Galicia! I come from crazy, hectic Buenos Aires and the beauty and peace I experience here have conquered me. I wake up to a "pillow of clouds" every morning with a view of the little stone houses and woods down the valley. I'm forever grateful to Galicia and the lovely Galicians

[@MrWalter2202]
