Fun fact Ernest Hemingway went to Spain to cover the civil war there and it became a setting for his most famous book “for whom the bell tolls” which became the subject of a Metallica song.
Hey here are some tips for spanish pronunciation (European, although some apply for most hispanic american accents too): the C in Ce and Ci is pronounced “th” as in Think or Thought. Same goes for the Z, which is always pronounced like this. If placed before any of the other vowels, the C is pronounced like a “K” the double L is pronounced “Y” as in Yesterday or as a J. The U in Que and Qui is silent, Same goes for Gue and Gui unless it has a diéresis (ü) If a word starts with an R, the R is ALWAYS rolled. The J is pronounced always as a harsh H, or Kh. If a G is put before e or i it’s pronounced the same way.

Shocked has a somewhat negative connotation in English. You could say surprised or pleasantly surprised instead. Like, shocked is used if the surprise is not so pleasant. "I'm shocked you could be so careless!" for example.
Your drawing videos are my favorite ASMR content to watch and relax to. You should draw a map of Hungary one day, I would love to see you go through our 19 counties and many rivers. Until then, I will enjoy whatever videos you post, they are always lovely 😴
Hi from Spain, actually modern Spain was unified in 1492 when “El Reino Nazarí de Granada” surrendered to the catholic Kings (Isabel la católica y Fernando II de Aragón)
Hubo una unificación dinástica pero no política ni nacional. Las Coronas de Aragón y Castilla siguieron teniendo sus propias instituciones. Y de hecho en el primer testamento de Fernando el Católico se separaban reinos, no quedaban en las mismas manos. Finalmente quedaron en manos de Carlos, tras el último testamento.
No. La España contemporánea surge tras el Decreto de Nueva Planta de 1702. Hasta entonces había distintos reinos y culturas que compartían corona pero que no aparecían como misma unidad política en los mapas
Not even 5 minutes in, and you got yourself a new sub. This is my first video on your channel, so... congrats! Your soft-spoken voice is very sweet, thank you for helping me relax :) (I'm Spanish btw)
andalusian girl is here! the kingdom of al andalus stay in the península more time than cristians but the catholic kings kills all the people of al andalus a force to move off the lands. Is so sad. After the catholic kings composed de kingdoms like that, no exacly like that but yes in general terms
Lol I just visited Spain to hike the Camino from Baiona to Santiago de compostela. Not to nitpick also but I did not hear you mention the route to Santiago my group took, which went from Portugal North to Santiago along the coast
There are times when I stop, look and think...... how can he make drawings identical to the original without making mistakes? There must be a lot of practice and skill, thanks for the video, I'm waiting for a GTA San Andreas map :)
An interesting fact, nowadays, the term reconquista is being revisited by academic scholars, as it was not a reconquest but rather a conquest. The term for what happened came later with the raise of nationalism, back then people didn't use that word and for instance the conquest arrived just to Ceuta and Melilla that are cities on the North of Africa, outside the peninsula. Also, the existence of Portugal that before the Muslims settled down was non-existent, and they weren't invaded... so it's a complex topic!
Well, yeah, nowadays wokism (the mind virus in Elon Musk’s words) is spreading its insanity all across our lives, and history is not an exception. The Muslims invaded and conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, and then the Christians kicked back the Muslims and re-conquered the territory. The famous, historically accurate allocution just before the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212) was “we are all Spaniards”, proving without any doubt that despite Spain was not yet a nation state, there was a very clear and emotional awareness among the Iberian Christian kingdoms of something somehow common to all of them, and that “something” was an entity called Spain, which later on came to be one of the first nation states in the world. The different languages spoken today are an almost perfect match of the populations that were moved into the re-conquered territories: Portuguese on the West, as it was occupied by Galician settlers, Castilian in the center, as it was occupied by Castilians, and Catalan in the East as it was occupied by Aragonese settlers. So Portugal is the result of Galician settlers, Muslims played no role in its creation. The fact that that famous “pacific coexistance” they invented now is sheer bullshit is that DNA analysis show current Spaniards have more genetic similarities to the Irish than to the Morocans, who are 15 km away. The reason is that there was no mixture between Christians and Muslims. Ceuta and Melilla has no relation at all whatsoever, they came to be Spanish/Portuguese centuries after the Reconquista ended.’
Hello from Galicia! I just want to correct that the capital of Galicia is Santiago de Compostela and not Coruña. Apart from that, very good video, keep it up
There were so many provinces of Spain, so I felt I needed to focus on them in this video 😅. But Portugal could be a great choice for a future video of course.
He drew portugal and south of france, but he didn't actually make the details on them. He understands the difference and didn't do roads of Portugal, only Spain. I do agree that more people need to know that Portugal isn't part of Spain, just on the same piece of land
I play ARK survival ascended, and it’s such a fun map oriented game. You should do a map of the different maps they have: The Island, Scorched Earth, The Center, etc. There is also Ark Survival Evolved which is no longer officially active on official servers. They have so many maps with many to be released on Ascended. Fun game where you survive, build, and tame creatures. Warm regards from Pennsylvania.
