Highlights of Castile: Toledo and Salamanca 

Cervantes made me fall in love with Toledo and Salamanca long before going there.

Spain.....simply....Magnificent....visit if you haven't ! been to all of these gorgeous cities....!

Spain is just truly magnificent, awesome history and Rick Steve’s makes it truly compelling to visit

By far my favorite country to visit, particularly the region of Castile!

I love Spain so much! I visited it more than 5 times and my next visit for sure will be Castille!!! So beautiful!

Been re-watching Rick's videos on Spain. It's a beautiful country. Hope to go one day.

Toledo Spain 🇪🇸- i want to go ! Absolutely beautiful ❤️

The dude when they didn't finish the wine was like bro....

We’re just halfway through touring the Basque region and have stayed in Bilbao,Santiago del Mar, Zamora, Salamanca, Toledo and tomorrow we are going to Madrid followed by a 3 day stay in Segovia. It’s so easy to get to from England, we took our car over on the ferry from Portsmouth. Your video is perfect.

que bonita es mi españa, esta españa mia, esta españa nuestra

Spain is just like a Big Iberian Museum. Im sure there are bad and messy places in Spain but all of them are overshadowed by the beauty and Aesthetics Spain has to offer.

Visited Toledo September 2018. I want to return and spend a few days to fully experience it. What I liked is people live among the museums, the Cathedral and other points of interest. Students from the local grade and high schools pass through the streets with tourists. El Greco's paintings are amazing. I'd like to see each at least twice on my next visit. Rick's photographers are real pros.

I'd love spain very much., Specially in Castile. Bien

I visited Segovia and Salamanca each on a day trip, this June 2017. Loved both cities, especially since my Spanish roots are from the part of Castilla y Leon between the two. Both cities are definitely worth the visit and easy to navigate by walking. For Segovia, I'd recommend starting at the Aqueduct and then walking to Alcazar, checking out a lot of the historical buildings, small churches, the main cathedrals (and of course the main one at Plaza Mayor), and of course the Casa Machado, between these two main sites....For Salamanca, its a surprisingly short walk from the train station to all the historical sites. Of course not only the two main cathedrals (Old and New) and the Universidad, but just walk around checking out sites such as the Archbishop's residence, the many smaller churches but each with very unique and distinctive features, the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea, the Guerra Civil museum, and traverse the river while looping more north into the city and across back towards the bus station (or however you arrive). But definitely check out many alleyways and back streets, which are full of their own unique treasures. There are also many excellent tapas places throughout the city. Check out ones frequented by the locals, as the food will be much better, more authentic and cheaper than those around Plaza Mayor or the University area that cater to tourists.

This video made me long for Spain even more!

Bravo por los editores de estos vídeos que tanto nos ayudan a los amantes de nuestro patrimonio y, por qué no, del repaso del inglés. Mi enhorabuena por los resultados.

It's nice to se videos of places where children are playing like children!!

Just one thing: the cultural aspect of the moors happened only during the abasidas and the Cordoba Caliphate. After that, they were also invaded by almoravides and Almohads, which weren't tolerating people nor had much interest in mathematics, philosophy and so on

Castile is the heart of Spain

حضارة إسلامية عربية عظيمة في أروبا المظلمة في القدم شكرا للمعلق الممتاز في سرد ,,,film,,,,,, best

Toledo is famous for the knives and Don Quixote...Avila and Segovia were beautiful and medieval. Loved my 33rd anniversary there with the Queen. Thanks Steve!

I love your love of Spain . So much more than the beaches of the costas.

Very impressed by El Greco's paintings

I just got back from there because of a study abroad opportunity. It was one of the most life changing experiences. I can’t wait to return

Been to Toledo - the cathedral and alcazar are good

Muchas gracias, Rick. El Greco!!

I really like this show I live in Spain and it really helps to make the projects. Thank you very much! me encanta esta programa yo vivo en España y me ayda mucho para hacer los proectos. ! Gracias muchisimo !

We visited just a part of Salamanca last July 2019,,Im very happy you shared most part of Salamanca n more places in Spain...thank you so much Steve u really knowledgeable of Europe.

SALAMANCA ❤️❤️❤️

Great video of Spain Rick Steve my complement to you for a Job Well Done!

We are wishing to receive tourists again in this beautiful part of inner Spain. You will love it ❤️🤗

Castilla es preciosa. Conserva muy bien su pasado y en un lugar muy tranquilo que entona muy bien con el entorno natural. Ojalá siga siendo poco poblada porque así conservará mejor su arquitectura y su belleza natural.

When I travel I feel like a king I love it🙏

Totally awesome!

I hope Rick makes one of these about Valencia someday, is one of the greatest cities of Spain and home of the Paella and the Fallas

Yours are the only videos that do justice to these stunning places. We have just returned from our tour of the Basque region and Castile. We stayed in various Paradors. They really are hidden gems.

I enjoy your videos. entertaining and educational. God speed!

Muy buenos vídeos!!!!! gracias👍

Thank you for this information Rick!

Un Toledano, que vive en Salamanca, le gusta este video!!!

Very good and sensitive, your work, thank you so much!

Great guide. I will be visiting Madrid and the surrounding towns like Toledo and Segovia during this Christmas.

I can´t believe you did not show Salamanca's cathedrals. Inexplicable.

Historic city. Wonderful.

I love Castile. It is beautiful.

Splendid Spain, thanks for making wonderful video dear Rick Steve

Spain has to be one of the best places to visit in the world, if it's not the best! Over 58 million tourists each year can testify to that.

Cuenca is very beautiful city too!!! visit us soon

Thanks

I enjoy to keep on traveling with you, watching your program. From México.

Your intro into a billboard is magnificent.

Saludos desde Toledo!!

I quite enjoyed Toledo. I stayed near the cathedral. Thank god they've gotten rid of all of the Pepsi and Coke furniture, awnings, and table shades. red and white pre blue etc Logos writ large everywhere. The main square was an affront to the eye (summer of 1999)

Thank you.

Rick , Your Voice is Music to the ears.

Would love to see SNL do a Rick Steves with attitude: "Adios, we ain't payin''", people-watching with commentary, picking fights with the locals, etc.

I love to see your chanel, it make me improve a lot my english, because you speak very clearly, thanks

There was so original in Spain with everything over there it could be living as a desireless guy like me. I love Europe much more than China!

Great great documentary

Congrats very well filmed it's like TV documentary quality

Wow im so happy you showed the University! I'm starting my Master's there this fall!

I live in Salamanca!! Amazing documetary 👏🤗

Very good and informative video

VIVA SALAMANCAAA🇪🇸

Great videos. Congratulations.

I love the Castilian city of Salamanca ♡♥

Always take care daddy rick. My idol my favourite 🙏🙏🙏 I hope oneday to meet you. GOD BLESS SIR.

España siempre os acogerá con los brazos abiertos ❤️

Maravilloso

SALAMANCA . Pertenece a la región de LEÓN . León , cuna del parlamentarismo. ALFONSO l X de LEÓN , reúne a cortes , con tan sólo 16 años . Corría él año 1.188 . SALAMANCA , primera UNIVERSIDAD de ESPAÑA . Fue ALFONSO l X de LEÓN , en 1.218 .

Very good thanks

HellYeah !!! this video its so accurate to what I've been looking for, I mean, I will be traveling to Europe in 2020 and Spain will be one of the most important places to visit, and actually Madrid along with Avila, Toledo and Segovia are some of the most important places that I want to know in Spain, so thank so much for this video, it shows alot of what I want to know by my own once I will be there ;)

I just finished watching two of your videos Madrid and this one, all places I have visited and loved❤️thanks again for taking me back in these times of Coronavirus 😐it really gives one a lift to see such beauty! I agree the Prada in Madrid is superb!!

Always enjoy your videos

Este señor es profesional hahaha that part was funny, its super beautiful 🇪🇸

4 min in the camo get's 11 out of 10 for framing Rick in the the Moor arch perfectly. Well done!

Rick Steves always appears with this superiority aura to him, like he is better than everyone else. I can imagine he is extremely difficult to deal with in his personal life.

The way he describes el alcazar de Segovia, getting rid of it..........., I think only the roof burnt in the ninetieth century, and it was rebuilt as the original thanks to Dn. José Mª Avrial in 1844 and not in a romantic style as he says.

Hi Steve I love Europe I most watching your all shows I agree with you but I know it's was too old mosque mack by salahuddin inside 950s pillars its amazing

Very Nice 💖⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏

Muchas gracias Rick! I visited Madrid for my first time recently and took a wonderful day trip to Toledo; your excellent video here is allowing me to see what I missed. I particularly appreciate your reverence for the great El Greco; seeing his work in person was a highlight of my visit to Spain. Question: Do you have a favorite hotel recommendation in Toledo? Something historic with character?

we want your whole world tour even with more time like 1 hours plus episode

I LOVE YOU RICKYYY

Nice video , regards from Ávila :)

You forgot to mention Christopher Columbus (Cristobal Colon) asked permission to prove the world was round at University of Salamanca! Permission was granted.

"esta señora, un professional" 😂

Information for spain visitors: Ole,ole toro is ridicolous phrase for spaniards ears.

Salamanca,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,maravilla,,,,

Nothing like Mexico. Wow.

Da igual donde estén, la música de fondo siempre la misma, da igual Galicia , Extremadura, ellos a lo que les interesa música flamenca y el panoli este olé olé, carga ya este tipo. En mi vida he dicho olé, y por lo visto todos los españoles nos comunicamos con un ole desde que nos levantamos hasta que nos acostamos, pero no se ha dado cuenta que el único que dice ole es él?

Nada más rico que un pulpito a la galega!

Rioja such great vino!

Very informative video! I love your opening... which Osborne bull is this, and do you know if we're still allowed to climb it? Or did you obtain special permission? We're planning a trip in May and want to film one of these signs up close

Spain is my Most favorite regarding to history, Vacation, Kingdom and people Love love much to Spainish people of mainland and Spanish people of North Africa.

Para empezar el mapa de Castilla es erróneo, Castilla ocupaba toda la Península menos la parte correspondiente a Navarra, y Aragón. Andalucía tambien era parte de la Corona de Castilla, al igual que Asturias (faltaría más), Galicia y Extremadura

Parece que más que el turismo lo que le gusta al guiri es la comida ,siempre está comiendo va a llegar a su país con 20,kg más de peso ,que barbaridad come más que una solitaria

I don't comment on the other parts of this vid, but I thought Mr Steves made a pretty good fist of presenting Toledo to the viewer. I came here for an experimental year in 2002 and 13 years later I'm still here, so either I'm a very dull chap, or the place really has something about it. (I think it's the latter.) - But Mr Steves, we do have SOME modern building in Toledo, even within el Casco. - And I'll tell you what... ;) ... los Toledanos are pretty good at making the new look old!

Good video :)

This intro music has something about it
