INCREÍBLE PUEBLO en VENTA en MITAD DEL CAMINO DE SANTIAGO ! Porcieda (Cantabria)

Hey YouTube family Today I'm in Cantabria I'm going to show you a deserted village I'd already marked on the map for quite some time Time I haven’t been able to come until now as I’m spending a few days here in Cantabria Because well I thought it was interesting to show you a town right on the border with Asturias so you can see there isn't as much difference as you might think and it's not just in Asturias—this is true in many places It's all falling into ruin I've been walking the entire length of this track that is a grove of holm oaks You can reach it by car but I recommend you enjoy the scenery and the path itself is spectacular Besides it's a common section of the Camino Santiago It's packed with pilgrims and frankly I wouldn't recommend coming by car And you'll find everyone walking It's more beautiful when done on foot So nothing much I think I still have a little time to get there I'm looking at the track It's still low and I think I've got plenty left So I'll tell you everything is ose who wish to support me can subscribe to the channel which is completely free You'll make a difference by doing so The channel grows and more people interested in these topics will discover us And of course YouTube will also notify you when a new video is uploaded I'm also leaving the social media links down below as always where I share various things Asturias that I don't teach on YouTube So nothing else—let's dive right in One of the first things that caught my attention when we arrived in this town was Pay close attention as this is an abandoned village but as you can see the rooftops are still there ere along the Camino de Santiago That is this village is crossed by the Camino de Santiago and me It's astonishing that it's been left abandoned considering how many people pass by it right here And well it could accommodate some kind of lodging or there's a a vast array of business opportunities that can arise from the Camino de Santiago There used to be an entrance here as you can see leading to a vegetable garden which no longer exists today Nothing And the heart of this village begins right from this house which is already completely ruins it's from here We'll come across a beautiful central square precious It's one of the towns I've liked the most out of all the ones I've visited It's already become one of my favorite places among all I've visited Look this house is still standing It's slightly crooked Here's another one that had a front patio Great now let's take a look at what we can see through the e door which I can already see is open But look here's the central square over there There's the source Here's a house another one here and another one over there—so it was a village Well it's quite large There was another one up there that I'll show you later This one It's different over there—a little chapel But it's amazing how they've managed to keep it going You can see for yourself As I was saying it's crooked looks like it's about to tilt this way I don't know f you appreciate it in camera but it seems to be moving toward the left side and is going to o collapse in on itself Let's take advantage of the fact that this one here is still open The adjacent one is the one I was telling you about—there's absolutely nothing left of it Look here it seems like at guarded the grass Well now that the door is open let's take a look at what's inside We can see it in here Well everything's fallen down I'm having trouble getting in Look it's a wheel from a car or what's left of it really Ugh these Coca-Cola bottles have been around for ages now It's been ages since I last saw them with the black base—half a liter each Look baskets of a different kind since here in Cantabria another type of materials and style was used The sewing tools used to make them are still present The divisions within the house remain clearly visible A small stool here Wow look here—the kitchen is right here the yar This house had yar Look at this massive Aye well my goodness it's enormous It's perfectly preserved here in stone Just take a look As for stone work look the smoke was rising that way But Amazing how huge it is There's still a smell of ash inside here It's a shame that throug Today's cameras can't even Was this once a room It can't be transmitted The smell Well look the staircase is quite nice so I'm going to take this opportunity to show you e upper floor Nice You see it has nothing at all—it's completely open and airy It's evident The fireplace where it used to rise is still there Look there's a bed Two beds And a trunk Look at this huge trunk here huh I'm not going in this part since I'm already seeing how bad it is there You can see there's a hole But look at this piece of runk huh They probably used it to store clothes or maybe even something else familiar who emigrated in his time the place where they took all their belongings whe They were heading for Argentina Chile There's also an old wardrobe over there Some old ones suitcases This was a wooden suitcase It could easily have been for going to the school It had another floor above it Which I can already imagine would be the yes I'll be careful I'm not entirely sure how this structure works but anyway you can see there isn't much to it This little window here is so charming Well let's start heading down—there's plenty to see this village The staircase is quite good I'm surprised One thing I didn't mention to you is The thing is incredibly this town is for sale They're asking if I'm not mistaken a million and half a million euros for everything And well it's in a location that could definitely be capitalized on Since it's along the Camino de Santiago I believe there's potential to run a business of some kind there These little houses Use them as accommodations or directly for meals I don't know just call a little bit over there actually look the phones are right there at the sale Let's take a look at this Right from here And while I'm at it let me show you the source Just imagine now Everyone in the whole village gathered right here gathered during celebrations and at all times Well it's locked with a padlock so that's that Yes we won't be able to get in I imagine that must have been the entrance to the house There are honeycombs Above the bee Look there's still wool here from the sheep Some old kitchens Ugh Look at what's here Many people don't know what this stone is Anyway I'm going to show you a picture next to it so you know what it is This is an old washing machine where She washing clothes Into that circle fitted a wooden barrel Well you can see it now In the image clothes were thrown on a cloth was placed over ash was sprinkled and it was disinfected The clothes It was as if the water was liquefying downward and all the dirty water was pouring out here And with that they'd disinfect the clothes This place seems to have I think it does There was some issue with manufacturing or wine here—I'm not sure but I have a feeling about it e structure And well quite a bit of wood there You see over there I'm not sure if any expert can tell you exactly what it is I noticed remnants of some kind of wooden machinery which I don't recognize But look All the wool that's still left here This was the neighboring house Well we'll be able to Look through here This was the stable This section here was the stable You can see ere wasn't much here This was the laundry area or main water source where they would collect water and eve The animals here would drink from it I'm surprised it wasn't a laundry area Still in its time it was It was once a laundry but now there is absolutely nothing left to indicate it ever was She was rubbing the clothes There's nothing left now but to fetch water just to get water It's incredible kid These houses are completely oval-shaped it's like they're about to roll away It could come down at any moment Let's see if I can show you something through this Little window here Can you see anything of this house At least I’ve been able to show you something of it at house since we won't be able to get inside And what I was saying you can really see it here — Better how the wall is completely oval-shaped Incredible right That it's still standing Standing upright Well up there was another house that I’m almost finished showing you e central square and then went up to see the house above But this corner is dyllic with the little houses here embracing the square the small tree in the center and well a place that would naturally have a lot of foot traffic especially along the way The story would see many people traveling that path Look there she is poor thing It remains What remained This was the henhouse This was the part of the house accessed from behind Well anyway I'll show you later when I go up to see the other one—it's in pretty bad shape And there There's the chapel I'm going to move closer now to show it to you as surprisingly it still stands Still good you'll see it now—it's quite nice I mean nobody's vandalized it They didn't respect him much Well He's got his little lock right here And well he's still here The Virgin is right there inside You can see she's in pretty good shape it surprises me Because places like these whe They stay like that—you know they usually take all the virgins they often take others too The belfry which I think this chapel keeps up there because I've seen the bell Well we'll just have to wait until the sun hits us But look it's still holding up The bell unbelievable And one thing that surprises me is the natural setting—well it's not just Asturias as you can see that we're practically bordering Asturias which is why I decided to show it to you like this He was telling me But the place is spectacular It's been raining and the rainbow has appeared Before that there That's great—I showed it to you in the picture I recorded earlier it's incredible Being here of course can never be conveyed the same way on camera But anyway I want you to put on That's the situation This is the other house the one I was telling you about which I've been recording from below There must be access from here but I don't see any entrance at all Because it's completely eaten food scattered through the undergrowth And the branches are quite thick so no I don't think anything remains inside either Look you could enter from over there I can't here access because there was a courtyard And well here's a significant drop There was indeed a drop here A garden here On this side there was a garden accessible through that little door That's from there And here is the backyard of the house You entered through here at the back To give you a bit of context And the last house was this one as you can see There's not much left of it The upper part of the barn remains And well access would be from here Back home not much Let's see because I honestly don't think there's anything at all Indeed There's nothing there Also I'm not sure you notice it on camera but there's quite an imposing presence And it gives me quite a bit of respect to be sneaking into houses right now What I'm seeing The thing is there's another window in that house I haven't noticed before Let's see if We can see something there too and through this I believe through this window We might as well take a look Okay check this out—there are a bunch of drawings It looks like it was a room And there are plenty of drawings on the wall Well let's head down now I want to show you Show you another house that's right behind this one I'll record it for you when you get here okay And well behind the one I was telling you about the one right here going down this little path we have we found the last house which is also well already in ruins It was noticeable tha much like it was but you can see it's definitely going to collapse into this path tha It's almost over here He's got barely anything left I even feel a bit of respect passing through this place W The air today feels ominous—I'm afraid it might be the day it all comes crashing down Because the gusts are coming fast quite powerful in terms of air flow And here there was a cabin well it's still in use for the rancher who I imagine is coming this way since I've seen cows They're the only ones anks to them by bringing the cows in here this entire path is now open Because I'm telling you that if not for this I think these towns would be virtually invisible—meaning they couldn't be visited at all visit any of them in most areas That is the central path which runs throug where people go and that's about it Well then I'll wrap up this video right here I hope you greatly enjoyed getting to know a town bordering Asturias so that you'll see there isn't much difference between the people of Asturias and those of Cantabria or the Gallegos I'll also try to teach you a few in future videos It's a shame and so it goes with no one wanting to invest because it's from here that our Our roots and our essence—those who fed us in the most difficult circumstances from Spain and today well as you can see they're completely fading into oblivion I hope at you've greatly enjoyed the video and subscribed to the channel which is completely Thanks so much for your help And if anyone wants to follow me on social media that’s great too I'll leave them down there since I teach about Asturias things I don't cover YouTube So nothing else I won't be signing up anymore see you in the next video
