Life in Rural Galicia - Bread and Wine 

this bring me tears to my eyes... living in Canada for 8 years leaving behind my lovely Galicia... aiiii que morriña!

Hi Jane, I live 10 minutes from some of the places you showed7mentioned. It's refreshing to see American people live and integrate so well in Spain, away from the more touristy types of "early-retire in a beach town in the south of Spain. You really live like a Spaniard and you show gratitude to this country, because you like it for its essence and customs, not only for it's Holliday weather idea most people have of Spain. If even you feel like visiting me, I live in an aldea of 20 inhabitants with a mare, 3 cats and 2 dogs, have a veggie garden and practice a simple life, creating art and just enjoying my best time since ever! you are Wellcome to both come and we can share with each other our lifestyle, maybe even skills (I have started a RU-vid channel only a few weeks ago and it's tiny, I studied Filming so I really appreciated your camera work. I need ideas for camera angels, motion and techniques to achieve them. I would love to learn how you do them from you. In exchange I can offer to show you how I live, about plants or spiritual (atheist) stuff. I am a bit of a green witch. Hugs and thanks for the amazing video. Natalia

This reminds me of the Ireland I remember growing up in. Thank you ☘️

¡Amazing! The first video about Galicia made by foreign people that no have guitar sounds o flamenco as sound track!

Un bello homenaje a ese hermoso lugar.

Wow! Amazing video of your life in Galicia! I love it that the family-run bakery bakes & delivers bread everyday. That's so unheard of in this generation. Having meals with friends, beautiful hikes, eating fresh octopus, farmer's market, you have a beautiful life that can only be envied. Thank you again for this professionally made video. I'd watch it over and over again. Muy bien video!

So poetic and warm

Such a beautiful part of the world. Love the music and all the food. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Muchas Gracias for your wonderful storytelling. My husband and I moved to Portugal 2 years ago and are enjoying our life and travels in Iberia. So looking forward to exploring Galicia. Thank you again for your charming, thoughtful and insightful videos.

Galicia, a village of Spain, where father of my leader fidel Crasto was born. A lovely and revolutionary feeling!❤

with bread and wine, everything fine.

What a great video about an often ignored but incredible region of Spain. Galicia is our blood whether we were born there or not.

Been a while...Pan queso y vino se anda el camino..Monica was St agustin''s mother....door to door delivery of the bread is a quite recent custom.....Left El bierzo in 1968.....I visit my grand parents town ....50-75 inhabitants.....the youngest on their 80s....El Valle Bembibre Leon.....

A spectacular video. I wish that soon you publish more and teach Galicia with your eyes. I will follow you delighted and I will recommend your videos. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Grazie per il video, Salutamu!

Wonderful content . Loved the music. When I saw you and husband walking down that beautiful path, I saw myself and my wife walking that same path.

Gracias Jane por facilitarme las canciones. Cheers, Salud

I just discovered your channel today, and I plan to binge! I love your thoughtful commentary and painterly presentation. I feel like I'm there with all of you. I love the cows crossing the road to end the video (at least the three I've watched so far!).

This is exquisite "Jane"!

Breath taking. I love Spain

I enjoy your videos. Please make more…

Excellent! thank you for the amazing video...I watched it twice :)

Galiza sempre galiza por sempre Galiza

Buenos días. me ha encantado su video de Galicia. Quiero pedirle un favor, si puede enviarme los autores de las canciones que usted pone en el video. Mi Shazam no los encuentra. Muchas gracias. José Luis. Vigo, Galicia

¡Enhorabuena por tu vídeo, Galicia calidade!👏🏻✌🏻

Nice vedio

Galicia spanish green

Does anyone know of the name second last song?

Why on subtitules put “singin in a forein language? Is not forein, is galician. GALEGO

Village name

la vaca amarela de mia abuela

Jane: sí, Galicia está en el Estado español, pero es curioso como los comentarios de extranjeros se refieren a España en general, sin apreciar que lo que tu les muestras en los reportajes sobre Galicia; un país con una cultura distinta, en muchos aspectos, a la clásica y tópica española. Gracias por tu amor a mi tierra. Un saludo desde Compostela.

Jane in GALICIA. Arzúa, Galicia. SINGINGIN SPANISH, NOOOOOOOO. SINGING IN GALEGO, 13.29 MINUTES. Poseemos cultura, idioma y música propia. Por favor, Galicia is different. Gracias, Jane, por mostrar con respeto a mi país, Galicia.

I am from Lugo and I cannot do anything but congratulate you on the exceptionally good quality of your video. It is a professional work of art, capturing the essence of the most beautiful region of Spain in a wonderful and charming way.

Tus vídeos rebosan sensibilidad, calidez y respeto. Muchas gracias.

What a beautiful and lovely video, you have captured the essence and magic of Galicia

El pan de Galicia es el mejor ( en mi opinion ) en calidad y en variedad . Os recomiendo el pan de Brona ( o de Broa ). Me encanta!! . Para los amantes del buen pan , recomiendo ir a Carballo , muy famoso por su pan . Tambien el mercado de abastos de Santiago ( este ultimo es un paraíso de la gastronomía gallega )

A música, as paisaxes... Galicia máxica, ninguén quere marchar.

As son of a Galician peasant woman, it brings tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart to see the images of that paradise and its humble people and a gratefulness that an "outsider" can appreciate it/them gracefully incorporating herself to the welcoming culture.

6 year’s ago my family and I drove from England and travelled by ferry to Santander. We spent a week in Galicia, it was amazing. The weather not too good though, it was quite cold and rained most days. It didn’t spoil our holiday. We went to Santiago de Compistella and loved seeing the pilgrims arrive at the cathedral after completing El Camino de Santiago.We enjoyed some days at the beach in O’Grove. So beautiful .

Do most people in Galicia speak Gallego rather than Castellano? I suppose most are bilingual but I would expect that you would be hearing more Gallego than Castellano.

What a beautifully crafted short film about this lovely area. Definitely not the usual RU-vid fare.

There is in Spanish a word which describes the time you spend at the table after eating, speaking with friends or family, drinking coffee, liqueurs and eating some sweets, the word is "sobremesa" literally, "on/at the table", I have been in some sobremesas so long that they became dinners.

Wow Jane, what a beautiful video. I was born and raised in NYC, but my parent's are from La Coruna, and the surrounding "aldeas". So I've had the great fortune to spend many summers in Galicia. Your video truly shows the friendly, welcoming and laid back spirit and attitude of the countryside in Galicia. Watching your video here in my office in NYC makes me want to jump on a plane and go visit my aunts, uncles and cousins. Great video! Thank you for sharing a bit of cultura Gallega with the world.

The Video you have presented is an unique. We have learnt many more that, we did not had any idea. Rains in the location, fruits availability and traditional foods that are available. Specially, Spanish Music and Songs. Your presentation of video in an unparalleled. Thanks Thanks...... For your presentation.

This was absolutely beautiful, some parts brought slight tears to my eyes seeing the land of my forefathers... one day i will return as well

I can only give you my sincere thanks for making these videos. I think he has managed to capture the essence of this little corner of Spain. I am the son of Galicians, born in Mexico City and from a very young age my parents always instilled in me a love for Galicia. I have lived on this earth since I was 12 years old and from the first day I have felt a special attachment to this place ... It is as if I too was part of this place (like the oaks planted in the little church that you refer to in the video). In short, I am delighted to have met you and I wish you and your family to be happy in Galicia. You are invited to visit the region in which I live, A Mariña, (the north coast of the province of Lugo). I look forward to your next video. P.D: I apologize for my English

Amo a Galícia ♥️terra Linda maravilhosa da Espanha 🇪🇸sou brasileira 🇧🇷apaixonada 🥰 pela Galícia

So many memories from my wife's mother's village in Lugo... I'm only a quarter Galician myself, my wife is a half. And she's an "arqueóloga"! ;)

What a lovely view of an idyllic corner of the world! Nice work. Thanks for sharing!

You captured the essence of inland Galicia 👌🐩🎶🧀

I have lived in Galicia and I can assure Barra Gallega is the best 👌

You love Galicia! You are really in love with this place! Congratulations, to live in the place you love is something only a few lucky people can reach. Os deseo salud y paz, que nada turbe vuestros días.

¡¡¡Fantástico vídeo!!! Casi para la gran mayoría de los extranjeros, tienen la creencia que España 🇪🇸 es sólo flamenco y toros y es una creencia falsa. España es mucho más que flamenco y toros, eso es lo que algunos han querido vender esa imagen del país y, repito, no es cierta. Yo soy español y, ni me gusta el flamenco ni me gustan las corridas de toros. España es un gran país desde el Norte hasta el Sur, Oeste y Este, lo mires por donde lo mires, ninguna zona de España te deja indiferente. España es un país que hay que conocer muy bien para darse cuenta de lo que digo. Para muchos, empiezan a conocer España ahora. Les invito a que conozcan sus verdaderas raíces y, cuando eso pasa, ya no tienes escapatoria porque el país te ha enganchado por completo. Viva Galicia, sus gentes y toda España. Muy buen video, ¡Me ha encantado!... mis felicitaciones. Saludos y cuídense. Ciao.

Yo estoy casada con un Gallego por 50 años. Vivimos en USA Pero frecuentemente viajamos a Galicia. Mi esposo es de cerca de Órense. Yo soy Mexicana disfrutó mucho cuando vamos a Galicia. El pan recién orneado es delicioso. El caldo Gallego es mi comida favorita. Gracias por los vídeos muchos saludos desde CHICAGO U S A. 🇺🇸

Congratulations, a beautiful video with no stereotypes. Shows simple rural life in Galicia and northern Spain. Its done with care and love and knowledge!! ❤

I JUST DISCOVERED YOUR VIDEO, JUST WOW!! Q BELLESA

Thank you for this! It takes me back and brings so many memories- ah, the bread and cheese … and wine! And the vacas wandering around freely…💕

Federico García Lorca also wrote in gallego out of his love an amazement for the nature and the people. He wrote the six Galician poems, one of them very well known rendered into a song by the galician band Luar na Lubre: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BI-Q8yBoV2o.html. You can also find the statue of Lorca in la Alameda de Santiago. Grazas por amar a nosa Terra e polos belos vídeos

Beautiful scenery music and commentary. Thank you.

Lovely vids. Works of art they are. 1 question. Why Galice?

I was deeply moved by your video...you did an amazing job capturing Galicia 's essence Antonio Machado 's words are certainly magical, I suggest you listen to Serrat' s version As a foreigner married to a gallego( and now living far away), all those familiar faces, places and food brought back that feeling of home I miss.. Thank you!

Cuando nací, mi madre enterró mi corazón en la tierra y allí lo dejó. Yo nunca lo supe y desde que vivo, uso uno que me dejaron para ir tirando, para bombear la sangre, para oxigenar el cuerpo y para hacer todas esas cosas que ese músculo hace. Pero con los años, adiviné que este corazón prestado solamente me sirve para una cosa, para poder volver siempre hasta allí, hasta dónde está mi verdadero corazón, hasta el lugar donde mi madre lo enterró, el sitio donde nací y donde mi tierra lo alimenta y lo hace latir, para volver siempre a Galicia. 25 de Xulio de 2013, Día do Apóstolo, Día de Galicia.Escrito en California-USA, con mis dos corazones, el prestado y el enterrado.

Did you work for a TV company before? The quality of this is exceptional. Great great channel.

Muy bonito ❤. A beautiful land that of my father!!.

Beautiful words, music and video.

Qué bonito video¡¡ Disfruta de Galicia y de toda España. Saludos

Such a lovely video about my home region! As other comments said, you've captured the beauty of Galicia and it's people perfectly.

A wonderful video and one I'll watch many times I suspect. it was funny seeing you watch your Australian bred Blue Heeler cattle dog down a dusty road past eucalypt trees. As an Aussie I did a double take but other scenes and of course the wonderful people and culture were pure Galician. Looks a wonderful place.

What a wonderful video Jane! You have captured the essence of Galicia and as an expat who arrived here a couple of years ago, can completely relate to everything you have portrayed.

having walked the Camino twice, and having surfed in Galicia a few times, how come, I’ve only found your channel now? 👋🏻 ☀️

Living in a beautiful piece of land.. Love you all.. Peace...

Excellent quality, I thought it was a documentary made by BBC. I love it

Beautiful stories and video of my ancestral homeland. Thanks for sharing.

Hola Jane. Este es un sencillo video relajante de un lugar donde la "tranquilidad se vive". Donde la vida se respira. Se vive el esfuerzo de vivir. Transmite la nostálgica vida del ser humano, que es el sitio donde disfruta de su vida, donde aprecia cada segundo de su existencia y transmite el sentir de su tierra, no del lugar donde nació ni donde le gustaría estar, donde la vida se entrelaza con la tierra, nuestra patria, tierra con costumbres lenguas, idiomas, tradiciones y sin olvidar que somos habitantes del mundo. Lugares que queremos, incluso si no hemos nacido en ellos, pero somos sus hijos, que disfrutamos siendo parte de esos lugares, en los que nos sentimos los más afortunados del mundo. Disfrutando del lujo, de una vida plena, sin el menosprecio que algunos nos dan, por no hablar en su "lengua", por no hablar en el idioma que ellos quieren, que ellos imponen, que tienes que hablar, en la lengua que nos enseñaron nuestros padres¿Por qué los inútiles quieren poner fronteras en la comunicación? No entiendo que las personas pongan trabas a la forma de comunicarte con los demás, por poner trabas en la "nacionalidad" de los que conviven contigo, siendo Ruso o Vasco, incluso Chino, debemos decir a esa gente excluyente que somos humanos, nacidos en la misma tierra, apreciamos y respetamos las tradiciones y las costumbres de mi tierra. Galicia, siempre Galicia y su buena gente y de allí al fin del mundo, Que casualidad, allí está. Salud y suerte. PD. Visitar si es posible la zona de los cañones del Sil, merece la pena y mis ancestros (por suerte) son de allí. Health and luck. Ola Jane. Este é un sinxelo vídeo relaxante dun lugar onde "se vive a tranquilidade". Onde respira a vida. O esforzo de vivir vívese. Transmite a vida nostálxica do ser humano, que é o lugar onde goza da súa vida, onde aprecia cada segundo da súa existencia e transmite o sentimento da súa terra, non do lugar onde naceu ou onde lle gustaría estar. , onde a vida se entrelaza coa terra, a nosa patria, unha terra con costumes, linguas, linguas, tradicións e sen esquecer que somos habitantes do mundo. Lugares que amamos, aínda que neles non nacemos, pero somos os seus fillos, que gozamos formando parte deses lugares, nos que nos sentimos os máis afortunados do mundo. Gozando de luxo, dunha vida plena, sen o desprezo que algúns nos dan, por non falar na súa “lingua”, por non falar na lingua que queren, que impoñen, que hai que falar, na que nos ensinaron os nosos pais Por que os inútiles queren poñer límites na comunicación? Non entendo que a xente poña trabas pra comunicarse cos demais, poñendo trabas á “nacionalidade” de quen convive contigo, sendo eu ruso ou vasco, incluso chino, hai que dicirlle a esas persoas exclusivas que somos humanos, nacidos na mesma terra, apreciamos e respectamos as tradicións e costumes da miña terra. Galicia, sempre Galicia e a súa boa xente e de aí ata o fin do mundo, que casualidade, está aí. Saúde e sorte. P.S. Se é posible, visita os canóns do Sil, paga a pena e os meus antepasados ​​(por sorte) son de alí. Saúde e sorte. Hello Jane. This is a simple relaxing video from a place where "tranquility is lived". Where life breathes. The effort of living is lived. It transmits the nostalgic life of the human being, which is the place where he enjoys his life, where he appreciates every second of his existence and transmits the feeling of his land, not the place where he was born or where he would like to be, where life is intertwined with the land, our homeland, a land with customs, languages, languages, traditions and without forgetting that we are inhabitants of the world. Places that we love, even if we were not born in them, but we are their children, who enjoy being part of those places, in which we feel the luckiest in the world. Enjoying luxury, a full life, without the contempt that some give us, for not speaking in their "language", for not speaking in the language that they want, that they impose, that you have to speak, in the language that our parents taught why the useless want to put boundaries in communication? I do not understand that people put obstacles in the way of communicating with others, by putting obstacles in the "nationality" of those who live with you, being Russian or Basque, even Chinese, we must tell those exclusive people that we are human, born in the same land, we appreciate and respect the traditions and customs of my land. Galicia, always Galicia and its good people and from there to the end of the world, what a coincidence, there it is. Health and luck. P.S. If possible, visit the area of ​​the Sil canyons, it is worth it and my ancestors (luckily) are from there. Health and luck.

Lovely. Hazel looks very much like an Australian Cattle dog... Ci?

Funny, I am from not far from Arzúa, I am from Oleiros, Coruña too, and the funny thing is I am living (working) in Reading, Berks. Happy you like my home place.

I hail fm nearby...El Bierzo (Leon) Galicia wants us....but we donot want Galicia.....live in Northern Florida ...Jacksonville.....

Ola, imaxes moi fermosas, vivindo a vida amodiño e disfrutando dos froitos da terra e o mar. Moita SAUDE.

This is a lovely and very accurate portrayal of my country, thank you. I'm so homesick now lol

olala c'est magnifique cet endroit !!! vous etes a quel endroit exactement en Galice??? Je voudrais vivre en Galicie , je suis a la retraite et je cherche un bel endroit comme celui ci. merci du partage !!!!! et vous avez beaucoup de vache vers chez vous, quelle chance, je les adores et je n'en ai pas vers chez moi...

Beautiful video! Good editing skills. What camera and lens did you use?

I enjoyed your video about life in Galicia. It reminded me of times gone by, a simpler life in many ways. Maybe a richer one too. What beautiful lands you came upon.

What a beautiful people and a kind life style. Love your videos. Thank you, Jane. 🇪🇸❤️🙏👏👏

Hello Jane, I was feeling a longing for Galicia and came across this beautiful video! Very well done! I hope to move there myself one day. It's wonderful to get a glimpse of your life there. All the best! x

Fantastic music ❤️ I lived in Galicia for a year and loved it, wanted to stay but couldn’t. Looking forward to more videos.

Excellent video and beautiful location has an attractions to that places. Very peaceful location and every one enjoy peace and happiness enormously. It's great Blessings of Almighty. You have presented a very nice Video. I liked your Video. SUBSCRIBED to your Channel. Stay Connected. My Best Wishes for Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Story telling was great. Thanks for the beautiful scenery and lovely words to match.

La chapelle Ermida da mata est trop belle entouré de ces arbres, quel beauté cet endroit, on voudrais s'y endormir paisiblement...! Ou este vous dans la region de galice" svp?

Nice video. I love everything you are showing in this video. Only thing are those eucalyptus trees. I am a son of Galician immigrants and my father told me stories of his village where the forests were infested with eucalyptus trees. These trees are only profitable for the industry and are draining the soil of water. It is a pitty these trees are still there. But the rest of Galician nature is amazing!

Beautiful video Jane Thank you for sharing it with us all. I will visit Galicia Spain one day.❤

It is not easy to travelby plane to Galicia from Norway. the shortest travel is almost 14 hours! Long waiting in stopovers.

O my! the "foreign language" at around 16:30 happens to be Ladino. A language spoken by Sephardic Jews who had made Spain their home after the diaspora. It is a beautiful language, just like Gallego is a beautiful language. Viva Galicia!

The music is one of the best, ever heard.

If we could extend our life span, could have visited many places accross Globe.

👌👍

What a sweet dog you have dropping the ball in front of you waiting for you to kick it 😂❤❤

Beautiful video Sarah, thank you for sharing a piece of your heart with us.

Este video es una pequeña obra de arte sobre la vida en las zonas rurales de Galicia.No se olvide que en Galicia la primigenia cultura no fué la urbana, sinó la rural.

Extraordinaria calidad de edición , sonido , guion y amor for this lovely corner of Europe.
