    Default Inside GALICIA | Spain's STRANGEST Region

    Notice how the first old lady speaks exactly like the Portuguese, especially in the North. How Galician and Northern Portuguese accent are exactly the same, especially in older people.

    He may be partially Galician, but his character is more similar to Aragonese. I have told him this many times.

    That woman doesn't sound like someone from northern Portugal. I've been to northern Portugal many times and I don't remember thinking the old people in Galicia sound like the northern Portuguese. My family is an hour's drive from the border.

    I'm 100%.

    Galicians are often thought of as different from other Spaniards and maybe that's why the video is titled 'strangest region.'

    You've been numerous times. I've been all my life. See the curiosity!
    First, the vocabulary was not spanish. It was akin to portuguese, although she switched a bit to castilian to be better understood. Here's an old northern portuguese woman and how they sound like.



    And a galician old woman.

    Maybe for clickbait purposes for an american audience that thinks Spain is uniform. Each region of Spain is "strange" of one another, and people tend to stereotype Spain to Andaluzia.

    And you look nothing like Andalusians. We have seen a lot of Andalusians here thanks to Gallop and we know what they look like. Are you an African immigrant? It’s high time you came out of shadows and show us your true colors.
