A Very Personal Return to Spain's Golden City, Salamanca...

I ditched my flights and jumped on a bus to the very heart of Spain, but why? Well there was very good reason for this diversion, but would it turn out to be a good decision? Join me on a bus to Salamanca and we'll get the answer to that together...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is a result of doing all this myself I’m afraid. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday morning is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips!
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZfaq Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

Something that not many people know about Salamanca is that the 'Derecho de Gentes' (the precursor to International Law and the doctrine of Human Rights) was born there, along with modern Economic Science, among other things. A curiosity: Father Mariana, a professor in Salamanca, wrote a book in the 16th century titled 'De rege et regis institutione,' where, for the first time in history, he theoretically justifies tyrannicide, that is, the right to kill the king if his behavior is tyrannical. This is why _Marianne,_ the woman symbol of the French Republic, is named so, in his honor ('Marianne' being the female equivalent name in French to the Spanish''Mariana').

The few days I spent there were really amazing. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful cities. Due to my handicap (wheelchair), I can’t travel that much anymore, so seeing your video was really a great pleasure for me. You made my day! I really appreciate your dedication and hard work.

Lived and studied in Salamanca for almost 6 years, absolutely miss it already even though I left it about a month ago. Such a cozy yet active little city, so much history and so much beauty, it's just so fun. Can't deny I was checking the people walking on the background throughout the entire video to see if I recognised anybody, or even saw myself, but no luck. I'm actually pretty sure I was inside the building at 34:20 as you walked by, attending my friend's defence of his doctoral dissertation. Also, have to mention that after so many years people still use the clock as the default meet-up spot, and so did I during all those years, some things just never change I suppose. Also also, when you said you wanted a Spanish breakfast, my mind immediately went to Café Unamuno because it was one of my favourite spots te get breakfast when I lived there, and what are the chances that you ended up there! Salamanca is such a special place, glad you were able to experience it, and glad you brought me back with you, even though I just left it.

I first discovered Salamanca in 2004 as the penultimate stop on a week long 'fly-drive' with Ryanair from Stansted to Valladolid (which also took in Santiago de Compostella). It was July and I stayed in a lovely hotel on the southern edge of the city centre near the river. It was also in the middle of a music festival and the memories of listening to a late-night open-air jazz concert in a square near the Cathedral will stay with me for ever. Fast forward to January 2023 and I was heading through Spain on a motorhome adventure to the south, and I decided to revisit Salamanca. Only difference was, it was a wet, gloomy, very cold Sunday afternoon! However it was still great to have made a return visit. I really enjoyed seeing some of the other parts of the city in your video from your past knowledge and explorations. One place I found that you didn't show was inside the old Cathedral, which has a stunning Apse, and also one of the oldest pipe organ cases in Europe (14th Century?) in a side Chapel. Great city, agreed, and I wouldn't turn down the opportunity for another visit in warmer conditions. |Many thanks for your video.

Your Salamanca video was awesome. I went to school like you but at Univ of Valencia to learn Spanish.(1970's) We learned Castilian Spanish which is a beautiful language. And yes our professors knew no English. Cried my first week- was such a challenge. We travelled all over Spain before returning to the US. I loved Northern Spain the best (the Scottish in me). We stayed in Salamanca and your video makes me want to return one last time and to Salamanca.. (have returned to Spain twice before) The architecture and 'frog" really brought back some great memories. I too climbed all those stairs in the cathedral) Thanks sooo much for a great video and stroll through the city. Fantastic job. Kudos!

Thanks Steve for sharing your Salamanca memories! Always great to return to a place that meant a lot to you. Lovely city. Your apartment views were great over the plaza, especially in the evening. Pity about the shower! Your food choices were spot on! Very impressed with climbing up all those steps, and with your Spanish! Nice one! 👍

Enhorabuena. Saludos desde Brasil. Estuve en Salamanca en 1989 y nunca volví. Tu video me hizo repensar la idea de regresar a la antigua ciudad estudiantil.

Love that Spanish song Steve! Nice editing with it too. I really appreciate you showing the scenery 9ut the bus window. Maybe I'm weird but I never find that boring. Your Spanish pronunciation is great- made sense when you said you lived there😊

Excellent Steve. What a great place. That street art was incredible. Living in Texas I definitely can hear the difference between proper Spanish and the Tex Mex Spanish I hear in Texas. Thanks for a great video as usual.
