The same channel has a video on the history of LGBT people and these images are so cute and funny

(this guy is talking WAY too fast for this to be good listening practice considering how bad my Spanish is, but oh well lol)

This is great. It's in Spanish with English subtitles. History told with little bits of paper, almost like animation but not quite.

One of the things that frustrates me is how many people doing the Camino de Santiago do not realize that its invention was both religious and political: Spain was trying to kick out the Muslims, and announcing that they had the bones of an Apostle in a city nearish the northwest coastline meant droves of Christians walking across northern Spain, which meant Christianity as a whole had a vested interest in protecting it from Muslim rule.

The guy making this uses the modern signage (yellow arrows, often on blue backgrounds), which is cute

I could quibble on how the cathedral didn't look like that for good while longer (it was built multiple times and then built onto several more) but that's not important to the point he's making lol

HAH. Truth.

Also, I did not know this, but enough Galicians emigrated to Argentina that the Argentinian word for all Spanish people was Gallegos (which is another word for Galician).
