I am an American living in Portugal and have taken many road trips into Spain as far as Madrid and down into Andalusia and the Extremadura. I love the extremadura, and referring to it as the “West Virginia of Spanish” is simply unfair. There are so many beautiful, medieval and Moorish towns that are like little jewels that you come upon and wouldn’t know about, unless you wandered like Don Quixote, across its vast plain. The places I likes best are Caceres, Zafra, Badajoz and especially Merida. It is a town built on a huge archeological site, as Merida was the ancient Roman capital for Iberia. Their archeological museum is really impressive. The people are happy you visit, the towns are quaint and there’s delicious food, comfortable places to stay that are inexpensive. If you’re interested in archaeological sites, much older than the ancient Roman empire, I would visit antequera and its sacred Dolmens.

Leonor is the princess of Asturias, the princess of Girona (from Aragon) and the princess of Viana (from Navarre). Many monarchies have a title reserved to the heir. In Belgium the heir is the Duchess of Brabant and in the Netherland is the Princess of Orange. All created to say, I have many sons or daughters but, this is my heir. Leonor spoke spanish, catalan and she need to study other spanish languages like galician or basque. It's not easy to be a princess now jaja.

I was so confused when I was little about this. - The volcano in Tenerife is called Teide not Tiede. -When you show the pictures of Madrid, the one on the left down corner is Segovia, not Madrid. Segovia is quite close to Madrid but it’s in Castilla y León and it has a Roman aqueduct, which you show in the picture. The rest is perfect (I think). Also I wanted to thank you for saying Valladolid is not actually the capital of Castilla y León. I am from other city in this community and people from Valladolid always go around saying they are the capital and making the rest of the people angry haha Also you did such a good job with the Cataluña flags that are usually wrong used, but you explained it perfect.

Okay, I am from León, a city which is in... Castille and León, but I currently live in Catalonia, and my girlfriend is from Valencia, so I may point some things out, especially from Castille and León: First, Castille and León is the only autonomy made up of two regions, as the name implies. Old Castille, where Valladolid (also colloquially named Pucela) is, and also Burgos, Palencia, Ávila, Segovia and Soria. Cantabria and La Rioja were provinces of Old Castille up until 1983, when they somehow also got their own autonomy. Dark urban legends say that Basque nationalists had a hand in that, because they didn't want to have such a long and important border with Castille. And then, there's the region of León, made up of the provinces of León, Zamora and Salamanca, which was established as a separate region from 1833 to 1983. León also has its own language, Leonese, but much like Aragonese in Aragon and Asturian in Asturias -Much like Catalan and Valencian, Asturian and Leonese are pretty much the same language just with a different name and some vocabulary differences-, and for example, the Celtic tribe of the Astures were also living in most of León. As such and seeing that most people wrongly refer to Castille and León as if it was just Castille, many people in León actually want to have their own autonomous community (especially in the province of León, in Zamora it's a rather small minority, but in Salamanca they're a very fringe movement), and most Leonese people will actually say they feel closer to Asturias than they do to Castille. In fact, this "birregionality" is what prevents the Junta (the autonomous community government... kind of) from officially declaring Valladolid as the capital, since it's not just a "Castille and León" thing, but also all other cities in C&L share a passionate disdain for Valladolid, and especially León. Like seriously, if you were a Vallisoletano (someone from Valladolid) visiting León, you better not say where you're from, and if you're from elsewhere and are visiting León and say you prefer Valladolid over León, you will be deported and declared a persona non-grata in my hometown. And also, NEVER EVER EVER call someone from León "Castilian". It's on the same page of calling a Franconian "Bavarian" or someone from Cornwall "English". Just... Don't. In fact my girlfriend often teases me by calling me "Castilian" so I just call her "Catalan" instead, so it's a tie. About other regions, Murcia is actually the butt of all jokes (people often even joke that Murcia doesn't even exist... and the fact that it was the only region where the far-right party Vox won there in the elections last week doesn't help), whereas Extremadura is seen as the rednecks nobody knows or even cares about too much, like all of Extremadura could be annexed tomorrow by Portugal and nobody would realise. People from Galicia are stereotyped to be very ambiguous ("they answer a question by asking another question") and also suspected to be sexually attracted to animals, especially goats and sheep (like Welsh in the UK, Sardinians in Italy and Kiwis internationally). People from Asturias are stereotyped to be drunkards (the Asturian anthem, "Asturias patria querida" is often sung by people while getting shitfaced drunk). Navarre is to the Basque Country what Canada is to the USA, or what Ireland is to the UK. Similarly, Valencia is the same to Catalonia. However, there are more and more people in Valencia who just acknowledge Valencian and Catalan are variants of the same language. However, there is something that unites us all: We cannot stand the arrogant attitude people from Madrid have. Like, they say their squid and calamari are the best in the world (which sea do they get them from... nobody knows). But people from Madrid actually believe seafood from Madrid beats out seafood from any actual coastal town in the world.

Correction: Hey Barbs I've been watching your channel for a long time and it's great to see you do a video on our autonomous regions in Spain. I'm from and live in Gran Canaria and just wanted to give you a couple of corrections. Hope you don't mind. Highest mountain in all of Spain is EL TEIDE not Tiede. The Canary Islands get their name form Canines (Dogs) because when the Europeans came they noticed that the Guanche people had big dogs so they called these the Canine islands (It was the French that gave us the name as they were here first). Our Canary symbol everywhere is the canine, hence our flag has 2 dogs on it. The Canary birds aren't originally from here but came here later on. They're from the Azores islands originally. In fact I've never even seen Canary birds in the wild here nor is it ever discussed in our culture. We're one autonomous region but 2 provinces. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is one and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the other. Valenciano is officially recognised by the government as an official sublanguage of Spain so it's not Catalan but yes they do understand each other just like Galician and Portuguese. Thanks again! Love your vids!

Fe Lo el valenciano está reconocido como un idioma por ley, cultura, historia etc. El Valenciano es más que un idioma es una cultura reconocida y respetada. No encontrarás un valenciano que dirá que su idioma no es idioma. Su respuesta es típico catalán. No todo en el este de España es Catalán.

La inclusión del valenciano como idioma diferenciado tiene una raíz pura y exclusivamente política ... jamás escucharás decir que es una lengua aparte a los especialistas en la materia (los lingüistas), que son los únicos capacitados profesional y científicamente para dar una opinión válida. Para ellos, para los expertos en asuntos relacionados con el lenguaje, tanto el catalán como el valenciano (y el balear) SON EXACTAMENTE UNA MISMA LENGUA, la quieras llamar como la quieras llamar (aunque con las evidentes variedades dialectales que se dan en casi todas las lenguas, también en el castellano). Una lengua no existe o deja existir como tal por razones históricas o por la voluntad misma de sus hablantes ... sino que lo hace o no según criterios científicos, lingüísticos, y porque así lo determinan, por tanto, los expertos. Lo demás no me sirve, lo siento. La politización del asunto hace que ese tipo de opiniones extracientíficas carezca totalmente de validez real desde un punto de vista académico. Cualquier político chiflado podría decir, y quizá con más razón, que el andaluz es una lengua diferente del castellano ... aunque luego ningún lingüista serio lo avale. Pero ya se habría tirado la primera piedra y probablemente habría quien seguiría ciegamente dicha senda guiado por intereses bastardos. Es un hecho comprobado fehacientemente en el pasado, y el "tema del valenciano" es, precisamente, una prueba de peso para demostrarlo.

Those genres are also studied in most of Spain. Castilian kings were very fond of galician as a poetic language and the cantigas were extremely popular. To this day, galician is better suited for poetry I think, just listen to some Rosalía de Castro. It gives me the chills.
