💔 Por esto nos vamos TRISTES de España… y ahora empieza un GRAN desafío

Today on Rodando por Ahi, we’re going to take you for a walk through the incredible Baztán Valley to learn what it’s like in the interior of Spain, in peaceful places that at first glance truly seem like they’re straight out of a fairy tale. Today we’re going to delve into the other side of Spain, [Music] one that’s far from the big cities, where time seems to slow down and greenery dominates the scene. A rural area in the municipality of Navarra, where we’ll discover the Baztán Valley and towns that you’ll love. So open your eyes wide and prepare to fall in love with this fabulous and little-known part of Spain. Look what our last stop in Spain will be like. This RV site in a very small village takes us to the outskirts of this town called Ordoki, which, honestly, looking at everything around us has made us want to go out and explore. That’s why, right now, we’re about to embark on a sort of journey, a sort of tour through the different villages in this area called the Baztán Valley. We decided that to better understand this idyllic area in northern Spain, from Ordoki, we’ll begin a 14-km circuit through the most emblematic villages of the Baztán Valley. We’re interested in walking through them to discover what life is like in these villages, far from the main road and which, at first glance, seem very integrated with the natural environment. We continue to be amazed by the RV sites here, and by Spain in general. I mean, a town as small as this has all the services provided. The RV site itself is super quiet, safe, and well-located. It’s truly a luxury, isn’t it? Just look at the first view. We’re now facing a postcard, a medieval painting. Look, it’s like a trip back in time, huh? Wow, a little stream. I’ve already seen it; there are tiny trout, but there are plenty. Super clear. The whole community lives around this river. And look how old it is. It has a sign that says it was built in 16. Something very peculiar is that the Camino de Santiago passes through this place we’re walking, this same path . So it makes me wonder how many pilgrims have passed this way, through this branch lost in this spectacular valley, and if this is an inn or not. No, because I feel like I’m starting to think about taverns, inns by the side of the road, with all the people selling their things, moving from one side to the other. It’s incredible. Look how pretty that little bird’s nest they have up there. [Music] I’ve become engrossed in this procession, and I speak softly because if you speak louder, you’d think you’d be breaking into the whole town. Yes, in the peace that one breathes. This is Alice, which is like the largest town, right?, in the region. It has a vibe. There are very few cars, and we arrived via what is a secondary road, an old road. Good. Hello, good afternoon. Look at this church. Impressive. How old are the glass windows? An arch to hide it. Well, the entire region of Ariscun has obviously been populated since the dawn of man, since we can remember, and in various places in the region there are like Neolithic monuments, yes. Especially on the tops of the surrounding hills. Stone cachotes. Stone, yes. As well as some slightly longer ones located on the peaks because, well, there was worship for what is uh the town itself, uh, no, there is no direct record of when they have been there. As early as the 11th century, it is said that all the inhabitants of the town were hidalgos, that is, people with some noble hierarchy. It’s like a title, a minor noble title, right? [Music] [Music] This is the path we’re going to take today, about 14 km. We’re really looking for it and we can’t find it. We’ve already gone around this town. We’ll have to go to the other side, to the other side, the other side of the valley, to this region if it continues or here, but we don’t know how to do it. So we’re going to keep walking and at some point we’ll do that or we’ll take another path. It was to where we were, that is, it’s up. The route we’re going to take is approximately 14 km connecting different neighborhoods, very small towns of This area, known as the Bastán Valley, is the river that runs through this region, a region in the Navarra region that is well-known among lovers of tranquility, nature, and trails, because there’s so much to explore around here. Exactly. This is our area. In fact, while we were in the truck, something called to us, right?, to go out and do this tour, because we’re kind of pressed for time; we should be moving forward. It’s just that we can’t handle ourselves. I mean, I felt guilty this morning when we were about to start, and I looked around, I looked at the houses, and I said, “This is impossible.” Of course. And the crazy thing is that we’re kind of in the center, because there are several, like you said, several small towns, neighborhoods that are like families that make up the community. We’re in the center, which is kind of the most industrial, meaning the warehouses, carpentry shops, and so on. And if that caught your attention, now that we’re exploring the suburbs more, so to speak, uh, nothing, I mean, you’re enchanted. It’s a more well-known area, I mean, the main activity in recent years has been rural tourism, but uh, historically, livestock was the main economic activity, not so much agriculture, even though it looks so green, because it’s a land we’re seeing that has a lot of rock underneath, so that makes it difficult for the livestock. It’s fine. And for hikers, spectacular. Yes. [Music] We already have a view of the second town we’re going to visit. Apayoya, apayoya, apayo there it is, apayo is that it has too many e’s. We already have a view of the second town we’re going to travel through, which is called Apayoya. It’s incredible. This one is more mountainous, I see it as more nestled in a corner of the mountain, much more intimate, much smaller, right? Here, the idea we’d read about neighborhoods that are just like that begins to come together. That is, there’s an urban center or a gathering place, etc., where we’re in the RV, and there are these neighborhoods surrounding the circuit we’re completing. Something that captivated me is the decoration with those colorful little flowers they put there. This is also about tranquility, right? It forces you to speak quietly, because otherwise, it seems like you’re breaking with the atmosphere. And I really like the combination of the town and the small forest next to it. At the time, we didn’t immediately notice it, but as we moved through the towns, we began to have a contradictory feeling about these places. The silence and extreme tranquility of these places went from being an idyllic characteristic to a symptom of modernity. It’s not common to walk through such quiet places. And beyond the postcard, there’s an underlying theme that shouldn’t be ignored. The reality is that fewer and fewer people live in these streets. Young people are leaving for the cities in search of opportunities, study, work, and movement. And those who remain are mostly older people. This presents a real dilemma. Because it’s not just social life that’s lost. When a town empties, the surrounding nature changes too. Not only are houses closed and memories lost, but also cultural landscapes built up over centuries. So, the charm that initially captivates is actually dying. What could be done to keep the traditions of the country’s interior alive? [Music] What we’re traveling is a circuit of about 14 km, and, importantly, we’re on the edge of the Pyrenees. Of course. In other words, we don’t have the time and we still don’t have the equipment to begin our adventures. We’re there; little by little, we’ll recover. Remember that in this phase that we’re beginning in Europe, we’re practically starting from scratch, and after being stopped for so many months, we’re starting from scratch physically. Yes, that’s true. It seems the road became narrow. I don’t think we made a mistake, but oh well. Was it a mistake? Of course, this is what happens when you take detours. Oops, I’m getting a flat tire all over. Oh, no, my pants. Something’s rolling, huh? Always taking you down a path that ends up a bit ripped. Ah, come on. I reckon we’re connected here. First challenge overcome. The prickly vines, the blackberries. There’s a bamboo tree. See? These are the rewards for going off-road. Hey, what’s up? Hey, we’re in the wrong position because the wind, of course, is blowing from behind us straight toward Bambi. And I’m in the wrong position next to a screamer. The first thing you did was, “Oh, never a movie where you have to be quiet. The first thing they hear the tool when it was this cueta to the third town of the tour. Aspilcueta were like more flirtatious, I mean, they painted. What does surprise me is the size of the house. I mean, practically all of them are a certain size, but here live, how many? 30, 40 people easily. I don’t know if that many, but they are big houses. Eh, maybe it’s because of the cold. This is an area where it snows here. I don’t know. And like if you’re there, you get together among a p to heat a same pens that you have here you have to go around chopping wood. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it’s better that there are a lot of us in the house because otherwise we’re baked. I like walking along these paths only pedestrian and cattle than walking on the street, than walking on the asphalt, because every now and then a car comes along that you have to keep looking, it breathes a different atmosphere, there are no cables, there’s nothing. I can You can be here at any time of year. Look at the ponies. How small. I can’t believe it because you can’t tell, but it’s only 20 minutes. Clear water. This is paradise, huh? Look how beautiful. How long ago was it built? Ah, look at the big one, I have no idea what it’s technically called, but look, it turned and fell over here. Of course, it went and here they collected the milling. This part of the journey has become more pleasant. First, because we’re going to the embassy, ​​so we can talk, and second, because there’s also this kind of paved communal road, so it’s making my shoes—I didn’t come with the right shoes for this trek— much more comfortable. Right now, we’re entering the second-to-last town, the second-to-last neighborhood, called Suastoy. Suastoy. It’s been in the same vein, right? Little houses, big mansions. How’s it going? So far, the only neighbor we’ve seen in the many towns we’ve passed through, but there’s really no one on the streets. They are portraits and this one was very short, I mean, it was just that block plus a couple of… Yes, we’re here. The donkey is the very center, the epicenter of the town. [Music] We arrived at the town of Urasu, the last of our tour was a super calm tour, I think a beautiful conclusion to what Spain is, an intimate Spain that we got to know today. We already had big cities, we had a coast, we had towns, we had the sea, we had the mountains. Today, today, today, this is what we got, the tranquility, the intimacy, the green, the humid mountains, and I’m leaving satisfied. Hey, we have to face our destiny now, we have to cross the border, so let’s stop dragging it out. Hey, nothing, I’ve already said everything. From the moment we leave Spain, when we cross the border and leave Spain, our language ends, our ability to communicate fluently ends. It’s like right now it’s being on the beach looking at the ocean of the of the nopanity. Yes, of the noity. It seems like a joke, but it’s putting yourself down, standing up and saying, “No one else is going to speak Spanish, no one else. No one else is going to understand me even to the point of laughter. I think laughter is the last bastion where you understand each other and where you can have a dialogue at least. Yes. This thing of being able to connect fluidly with a stranger is something that’s going to get more difficult. Because I said in English you understand each other. But that’s not my thing. If you don’t speak to me slowly and calmly, I won’t marry you. But well, it will be a challenge that the truth is that I must confess has me quite anxious. It’s like I realize that my mind is, I mean, I’m like enjoying this tranquility of the valley, but I also feel like inside my head there’s a hamster making a mess of the anxiety that this leap we’re about to take has me feeling. You know how the French are said to have to speak to them in their language? Yeah, that really freaks me out. I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything. Well, little by little. Let’s see. You have to see to see, right? As a great wise man we met while traveling through South America said. You have to see to see.

Tan sólo una caminata por un valle PERFECTO de #españa alcanzó para ver con nuestros propios ojos la difícil realidad que amanaza con el interior del país.
¿Cómo se podría resolver esto?

  1. Esos pueblos ya heran diminutos y que no hay nada cerca es normal que esos pueblos estén vacios ya nacieron vacios. Hay pueblos exitosos en toda España pero si va más gente también hay quejas.

  2. Por ahí no pasa el camino De Santiago oficial…que es el que sale de Roncesvalles.

  3. Hola chicos, que lindo video. Y bien explicado en cuanto a la despoblación, yo vivo en Irun en el País Vasco, uds estuvieron en Navarra, cuenta la historia, que lo que hoy se denomina País Vasco eran provincias de Navarra, y se han separado por cuestiones, políticas entre un montón de cosas más.
    Algunos no se sienten que pertenecen a España otros lo contrario, cuestión legítima en ambos casos. El idioma que se habla en esta zona es el Euskera y el Español, ahora están haciendo un esfuerzo para reunificar el Euskera, ya que dependiendo de que zona seas no se entienden porque hablan Euskera distintos, tengo unos amigos que son Vascos de pura cepa y para hablar entre ellos usan el Español porque no logran entenderse, el Euskera lo utilizan cuando hablan con sus familiares.
    Nuevamente muy lindo el video y encontrarán en Europa lugares imperdibles como tanto les gusta.
    Un abrazo

  4. Hola chicos. Para comentarles que el volumen siempre es muy bajo. Otros vídeos debo bajar el volumen. Los abrazo desde Mendoza

  5. Gracias por compartir este vídeo sobre el bello valle del Baztán, allí el idioma es el euskera. Lo que llamáís barrio nosotros llamamos aldea y por último no confundir la despoblación de la España rural con la pérdida de las tradiciones es precisamente en la España rural donde mejor se mantienen las tradiciones..
    Saludos desde Alicante

  6. Dieron en el clavo con uno de los grandes problemas de España, la España “vaciada”, la migración de los pueblos a las ciudades. Buen viaje, no se vayan tristes de España.

  7. Hola chicos!! Antes que nada me alegro de que ya tengan su casita sobre ruedas y estén más tranquilos disfrutando del viaje!!
    Me tengo que poner al día con los últimos vídeos.
    Hace un tiempo ví que habían alquilado un auto muy barato en Italia si no me equivoco (antes de tener el motor Home), estoy buscando ese vídeo para ver dónde lo habían alquilado, Pero no lo encuentro..
    Me cuentan cómo y dónde consiguieron ese precio y si era en Italia porfa? 🙏🙏. Salimos también hace poco con mi hijo a viajar por el mundo y queremos ir a dolomitas en un auto alquilado. Así que si tienen ganas y me pueden ayudar con esa info, les super agradezco!!! Ojalá nos crucemos por el camino!! Abrazo grande!! Feliz vida y viaje!! 🤗🥰

  8. Chicos cuiden al peludito, si ustedes se pinchan con las ramas, el es más pequeñito… Aguanta tanto caminar los kilómetros que hacen ustedes…??? Si no me equivoco el perrito tiene sus años, por su forma de caminar… Desde Uruguay.

  9. Me recordó a la "Trilogía del Baztan" Libros del genero policial de los que se hicieron las correspondientes series. Muy atrapantes,

  10. Bello recorrido por la campiña, que pueblos más lindo, sin embargo se está sufriendo por falta de población, pueblos bellos pero muy vacíos…Chicos, no creen que esa larga caminata para Ettore es demasiado. Ettore es un campeón, pero creo que se cansa…..es la abuelita hondureña de Ettore, preocupada por el….☹️

  11. Está todo muy bonito, pero ¿no les preocupa que estos pueblos se estén vaciando? La tranquilidad tiene un precio…

  12. LOCO !!! Que grande rodando , una de las cosas que más me gusta de ustedes es su forma de describir lo que sienten , lo que ven sus ojos , solo falta que por la pantalla salgan los olores de los distintos lugares por los que pasan para sentirme en ese mundo al que me transportan. Felicitaciones.

  13. Que belleza esos pueblitos y da pena que estén casi abandonados 😢 son soñados! Y sobre el idioma se ayudan con el traductor! Disfruten mucho que se lo merecen después de los nervios que pasaron!!

  14. Buenas Nuevas Rutas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Creo adivinar su proximo destino, y lo espero contento por Ustedes que saben vivir la vida con gran estilo !!!!!!!!!! Abrazote !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. Un saludo viajeros Argentinos… entiendo vuestra emoción al ver nuestra historia reflejada en cada paso que dais.
    Conozco un poco vuestra querida Patria y se echa en falta que los patagones etnologicamente no dejarán más "huella" visible…
    Un abrazo y buen viaje ❤

  16. En cuanto a la "España vaciada" es consecuencia de las políticas globalistas, algo que también sufrís vosotros e Argentina, la buena noticia es que tiene solución… piensa por ti mismo y ten en cuenta que tú prójimo es tu hermano. ❤

  17. no es negocio mantener esas casonas…solo calentarlas en invierno sale bastante y mas la humedad q tienen…te las regalo…viven enfermos

  18. Genios! Que hermosura esos paisajes y pueblos de Navarra, la tierra de mis ancestros! Me encanta que le vayan dando rienda al espiritu senderista de RxA. Abrazo gigante!

  19. Hola los veo y los sigo de hace mucho … me gusta su contenido …… pero
    Me pareció malísimo grabar tipo cámara oculta los trámites de residencia , porque no está permitido grabar en esos lugares….
    Eso me pareció muy de porteño .
