Origin of the first Christian kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula, Covadonga is nowadays a reference for visitors, travellers and pilgrims of all over the world.
An amazing place, which I am so glad to have visited. . I am British too, like another person posting here. Without Covadonga, no Reconquista, and a Spain subjected to Moorish rule. Viva Espana! Viva Asturias!
We stopped the invasion of France, a group of Spaniards, Basques, Galicians, Asturians, and what was left, or Goths, led by a Spanish Goth, that is, a Visigoth, CALLED PELAYO, A VILLAGE BETWEEN COSGAYA, Santander, and Asturias. It was a miracle, if not Spain would not have existed, in less than 200 years it was repopulated and recovered more than half of the territory conquered by Spaniards, who went over to Islam, to conclude, in 1492, with the taking of Granada and the end of the Islamic threat, and began the conquest of the new world, crossing the new world and tracing a new trade route
You forgot Visigothic Nobleman Pelayo, Valiant Warrior King of North. King of Asturias. Crowned KIng by the loyal men who fought along side him. Seeder of the Reconquista. A 700 year war spanning from generation to generation. Spawning hundreds of battles and warriors like Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. AkA El Cid.
I love Spain - everything about it. Northern Spain, Espana Verde is often overlooked and its natural beauty is unsurpassed. Even the man made additions particularly in Asturias are particularly attractive.
This video gives me some sort of peace, beautiful peace, and at the same time makes me want to cry remembering all the good souls who took care of me when I was a little child. God bless people of good will! It is time to go back to good, truth, obedience to God.
It is truly right in history and heritage. I was born there. My family still live there, so I visit every few years. It is very green and peaceful. Maravillosa Asturias, tierra de Campeones como Pelayo. 😊
@@hoselui I have no problem with free speech when it's to promote human values. I'm portuguese myself, arguably from the least "moorish" of all parts of Portugal (the north) and have no patience for people using culture of history to defend their warped worlviews. This peninsula's people is born out of a mix of celts, iberians, moors, visgoths, suebi, romans, phoenicians etc....a history of MANY different kinds of people and religions. "History buffs" like yourself, conveniently forget that.
Increíblemente Maravilloso . Gracias por compartirlo . Soy de México , al ver toda esta belleza que nos regala Dios y la naturaleza . Tengo aun más motivos para visitar Asturias , es un lugar mágico.
@@Sina.575 very well said sir. these Muslims are still stuck in the dark ages 😂 i hope One day we taiwanese can Also have our own Reconquista And take back mainland china
Świetny film. Mogę go ocenić bo sam kręcę video i latam dronem nad historycznymi budynkami. Dobra robota. Widoki wspaniałe. Cuda natury.😊 Łapka 😊Greetings from Poland. 😊Miło spędziłem z Tobą czas. Napewno tu wrócę
