Hopefully I'll be trecking the Camino next year, at age 66. I love Rick Steves and am glad to have come across this episode.

I remember looking at this video before the Camino. Now I am watching it three months after I walked! Best decision I ever made!

I walked EL CAMINO once. It was a wonderful experience.

I gave myself 5 weeks to walk the camino but did it in 24 days. It all depends on your abilities and how much you want to walk each day. I walked with no problem. You start to feel it after 25 klms. Your body tells you when to stop. You must take some rest days. To train, I walked in my city with my backpack. If you have hills or mountains to practice it's a good idea. The pilgrimage has about 3 mountain ranges to cross. It's very physical but your body gets stronger. It is an amazing experience. I met many people who became friends. You are always in the moment. It's physical, social, and then spiritual. I stop being religious after the camino (an atheist?). It certainly has an impact on you. Reaching Santiago was a let down. It's about the journey and not the destination. If you can go to Finisterre, you won't be disappointed. It was great to be by the sea. It's the cherry on top of the cake. Will do the camino Finisterre soon.

Rick, I just can’t explain how much these videos mean to me. Thank you so much for what you do.

It's not all just for "entertainment". Those bulls are not just regular bovines. They are the last remaining undomesticated wild cattle that once roamed the entire cost of the Mediterranean Sea from Iberia to the Levant. They require vast expanses of land to live on, and if it were not for bullfighting, none of the landowners that raise fighting bulls would keep them around. If you ban bullfighting, then you will condemn the last undomesticated breed of cattle in Europe to extinction. Is that what you want?

@Carlos Tomás Lis Tú no respondiste a nada de lo que dije. Mi justificación no tiene nada que ver con estereotipos, imbécil. Tiene que ver con la variedad genética y la continuación de linajes salvajes en la especia bovina. Las corridas de toro han preservado estos linajes. Sin las corridas, no quedería nada de los genes de los «aurochs» (vacas salvajes que vivian a lo largo del Mediterraneo en la antigüedad).

I agree with that, but he's trying to explain how galego sounds. Feel the diference between that and saying that euskera is a mix between Spanish and French, which makes no sense.

Great doc! The only thing I would say is that we Galicians say "pulpo á feira" or "polvo á feira", not "pulpo a la gallega". The latest is how non-Galicians call it, obviously. In Galician it would be galega anyways, not gallega. Gallego/a is in Spanish, not Galician. Apart of that, even I learnt some staff from the video!

Bullfighting is related to all of Spain, north, south, east and west. The oldest running of the bulls registered, there may be older, is in Cuellar, Segovia, north of Spain. There are stone statues of bulls in the north of Spain thousand years old. The Celts that invaded the peninsula ended up mixing with the Iberian people and there was a mix of cultures. Portugal also has bullfights, though they do not kill the bull, as in the south of France. Flamenco is more from the south and paella is a traditional plate from Valencia.

Fascinating, just fascinating! I must embark on the pilgrim myself one day! It looks like loads of fun!

awesome adventure, cool video

Rick Steves Europe has been my favorite program (or favourite programme) for many years now. It has helped me help Canadian friends plan a honeymoon, myself to travel around Europe (although it's been much too long since I've been back) and for my parents to plan their European holidays to Eastern Europe, Italy, and now this year, France. Thanks Steve! PS. I know your company keeps saying you really don't need tour guides for Finland as it's not a popular destination but I know with the right marketing the hidden gem that is Finland could become one. :) I spent 11 glorious, but cold, months there.

Someday I will walk this route as a pilgrim.

Amazing

Nice Insight Rick. Though you need to warn people it gets addictive!

I love your videos Rick, but once again I'll have to point out yet another mistake: gallego language is a Spanish regional language, correct, but it's not a mixture of Spanish and portuguese, at all. In fact, both gallego and portuguese languages share the very same Ibero-romance roots. On another note, I'd love you to talk about the regional languages and dialects in other european countries as well, which you never do when visiting them: 11 in France, 16 in Italy and no less than 53 in Germany.

They seem to show all the other episodes about Spain except for this one. I can only assume it's because of the segments involving the bullfights and the San Fermin bull runs. PBS being the PC gutless wonders they can be at times, surely caved in to whiners who cried foul. Fortunately I can watch it here.
