Inside Europe's RAPIDLY DYING VILLAGES (The Media Won't Show This!) 🇪🇸

https://youtu.be/6siAeGZV1e0 Don't miss PART TWO!

Beautiful people and land, but so very very sad with all the young people leaving and thinking they are going to a better place. In the end those villages were the best places to be for peace of mind and heart.

Many small dying towns and villages everywhere, in every country. Crazy how things change, communities come and go. Sad how life disappears.

I live in the basque country, northern spain and this video made me value what what we have, sometimes you need someone from outside to come and say hey! This is great! But, let me tell everyone reading, its beatifull in here but its also tough and rough sometimes, but what are we without some challenge! Much love!❤

This video sheds light on the hidden beauty and resilience of Spain's forgotten villages. It's eye-opening to witness the rich history and authentic lifestyles untouched by modernity. Kudos to the creator for showcasing these hidden gems!

People seem friendly and hard workers, houses are unbelievably beautifully well-maintained, and the mountains are amazing.

If I were not so old and not knowing any Spanish.... I would love to move to this area. It looks heavenly to me. Thanks for the glimpse.

In my country, Bulgaria, the entire northern portion is like that - empty and desolate. The switch to captialism destroyed rural production and people spent a decade scrounging by in the bigger cities or abroad. And now they can't go back cause they have no diea what to do there.

Hi Elliot, thanks for this video, my husband and I lived in Oreña several years ago in a small town near Santillana del Mar for two months au pairing two children. The Camino went right past the 300 year old house we stayed in. We returned there this January to see the family and fell in love with Cantabria again. Thank you for this video, the towns in Cantabria are amazing and beautiful x

One of the most authentic travel vlogs I watched recently. Thank you

Great video. I love northern Spain and was married in Bilbao. My brother in law lives and works in Cantabria so I know the region quite well. Actually, that dish of morcilla, migas and fried egg could be served all over Spain. The Spanish government is doing its best to save these villages but it's a lost cause. There's nothing to keep young people in them. No jobs, no opportunities and nothing to do. The Spanish demographic collapse just hastens the problem. Young people don't want to work like their parents in farming (unless it's very profitable) and they are clearing out to move to large towns and cities. I've travelled all over the country and found places like this. Like you, I very much enjoy all facets of Spain and that includes journeying to out of the way places which are not just off the tourist trail but where hardly any Spaniards visit too. I spent some time in the Soria region some years ago and boy is that barren. I've encountered it in every region of Spain. Twenty miles inland from any part of the coast and it's a different world. I love this world but it's vanishing, just as the old Spain has vanished from the 1970's onwards. The Spanish side of my family originate in Valladolid but my wife and I have a small place in a poor village in Malaga's Axarquia. I've been doing my best to document, with oral testimony, from the elderly of our village what life was like in the years after the civil war. My neighbour was 10 years old when Franco's forces arrived in 1936 (the year my father in law was born). She's a great-great grandmother and from her grandchildren on they know nothing about the hard life of her and her contemporaries or the world they lived in. It's vanished along with any interest in it and that is what is happening all over Spain. I really enjoyed this video and I completely agree with your message. Cheers. WT

Greetings from Egypt ❤ it’s a shame that a beautiful village like this is empty

Good vlogging, you work hard to inform the world about those remote villages in Europe, that's good work, keep going on, thanks 😅

Although unfamiliar with rural Spain, your journey reminds me of many adventures in rural Italy. These are the cultural and physically challenging experiences that can pry open the most closed mind. The lessons I have learned from the best of the human race have been in villages like these. Having Italian language skills like you have in Spanish adds an even greater depth to the connections. But it's the depth of the villagers' hearts and humanity that is truly amazing and restorative for me. ❤ Keep on trekking fellow traveler. 👍🏼

How clean and neat looks everithing...❤ I think soon those villages will come to life again. People will start to grow their own crops. Those crazy times of highly processed food will stop.❤

This was pretty cool to watch. Thanks for doing this for us

Thank you for all and seeing this opportunity ❤️ 🙏 💜 💕 💖 💗

Thanks my man, Antonio. You took us on an amazing journey, which looked like a thousand years old spain. You showed us a different face of life. God bless you.

Northern Spain is truly astonishing

Best video in a very long time my friend. Great work !!!
