Inside GALICIA | Spain's STRANGEST Region

[gixajo]

Ah yes my favourite region of all Spain too

eo]

My mother loves Galicia, and its gastronomy.

Are you kidding me? Andalusians have the worst accent

In some areas it is like that but it turns out to be a "nice" accent, but the most unpleasant accent is the Catalan accent. It is irritating.

My mother loves Galicia, and its gastronomy.

I've been also with both of my parents but my dad is the one who fell in love with Galicia like me, he even had very good interactions with them and ended up easily having a long conversations with them.

Is because he always liked all the Northwestern and Northern areas of Spain and visits it pretty often.

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.

Well,at least in my case Gallop is right, coincidentally I have more blonde and red-haired relatives on my Andalusian side.

Although the blue eyes in my family are from the Basque side.On the Andalusian side they are more usual hazelnut and green ones.

On both sides, brown eyes and dark hair are the most common.(if there is any hair)

One of the best things about Galicia is that the rural environment has remained quite authentic there. just as it was throughout Spain in the past.

It is good especially for those who come as visitors, I don't know to what extent it is so good for them.

Speaking about Galicia, if you can afford to spend some time without working (about a month), you could do the Camino de Santiago. It can be a good way to "reset yourself."

I thought about doing that once long time ago but i changed my mind on that.

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.

Good finding, not exactly the same but very similar indeed at times.

She is though alternating Galician with Castilian for better understanding, but especially when she says things like "Ai dos Estados Unidos, ai mãe!", "Muxia, de Muxia, de Muxia", "A costa da morte", "comunista, é um comunista desses" , " não sei como têm esse bitcho aí", it's surprisingly close to our accents. Notice how she is closing the vowels like we do, even pronouncing the "o" as "u" in words such "Estadus Unidus" or "cumunista".

It's surprising because she's from the north and most galicians don't speak like that.



Exactly like my grandparents used to speak, is the lady that appears at 5:40, she's southern Galician. I can only tell she's not Portuguese because she says "coche" instead of "carro".
