    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.

    You were speaking of accents. I'm not talking about vocabulary. Obviously, the vocabulary is similar because it has the same roots but the accent is very different.

    That woman in the first video is from northern Galicia and my family is from southern Galicia. My family members can tell the difference between the accent of someone from La Coruna and their own yet you claim this woman from northern Galicia sounds like those from northern Portugal.

    Galicians are often thought of as different from other Spaniards and maybe that's why the video is titled 'strangest region.'
    All regions have particularities, even within each region there are differences, but saying that Galicia is "the strangest" does not seem very correct to me.

    It shares many similar characteristics with parts of Castilla y León (EL Bierzo) and is very similar to Asturias and areas of Northern Portugal.

    At the same time, parts of Galicia are very different from the rest, such as a good part of the province of Lugo.

    I already told you that your personality is too direct and that you tend to seek confrontation, that has little to do with what is attributed to the Galician character.

    When they speak Spanish, the accent is terrible, but that's okay with them.

    On the other hand, I thought they were very quiet people with a deep voice like me, but when I met them I saw that they do not stop talking, they talk a lot, they do not shut up even under water.

    Not strange, but in Spain they have a reputation for being strange.

    I have never seen so many graciles in all my life.

    According to oral family tradition E-FT155550 comes from a deserter of Napoleon's troops (1808-1813) who stayed in Spain and changed his surname.

    I do not differentiate well the different accents by area, they are nuances that escape me, but the general Galician accent is easily detectable.

    In general, Galicians are well regarded by all other Spaniards, very hard working, resilient people.
