I recently moved to Bilbao, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Compared to my former city, it's much more vibrant and exciting, but slightly more polluted. Night life is also a positive, there are a lot of options for every taste.
However, the thing that impressed me the most at first is the public transport system, incredibly effective, and it makes the sorrounding areas appear much closer than they really are. Do you want to go for a walk in the mountains? 20 minute trip. Do you want to go to the beach? 20 minute trip.
People are quite nice as well, and, as you said, gastronomy is varied and excellent.
I've been living here for a year, and it hasn't disappointed me even once yet. ❤️
Which city are you from?
Public transport is very good, really. Even taxi is not expensive compared to other European cities.
oh very nice. how do i get to the mountains? or the beach side?
Why pollution pls? It looks quite clean in the video and even better than many Spain cities?
How is the weather ? Hot, cold ?
Best city in spain? No, no.... is best city in europe..... And the five best city of world.....
Que verguenza ajena
Faltos de afecto en su hogar... En cuanto les dan una caricia se vuelven locos...
Pues no entiendo vuestras respuestas la verdad......
@Dorset Deb I have never seen a bat in Bilbao in my life although I am not looking for them. If you decide to come make sure to ask me for tips and questions.
Bats? Mostly... never!!!
@Dorset Deb perdon no enteder ingles
I love Bilbao very much before I live in France and Germany and Italy and Holland and biljica and Switzerland but now I live in Spain in Bilbao I have only 1 year to that but I want to live here always it is only difficult to have Basque friends who I love Bilbao ❤ ❤❤
It is true. Usually the " cuadrilla" ( group of Friends) met since Kindergarden.
Thanks I was born there and I haven't been back since I was 4 !!! very vaguely remember the terrible storms there and the pollution, it was dirty back then.
It has changed a lot
Time to come back, maybe? Must be nice the return to your birthplace :)
@@Salomious I've walked around Bilbao via Google Street View map and it looks very modern and orderly.
I was there 2 months ago. Gorgeous city.
Dios, Justo en septiembre me voy a ir a bilbao a empezar mi primer año de universidad (yo soy de canarias)
Muy bien RUclips, tu si que sabes recomendarme cosas XDD
Qué carrera estudias!?? Yo no pude ir pq mi carrera (veterinaria) no se puede estudiar allí... Buena suerte en tu nueva etapa!!

Someone voted down this video. I mean, really? 🙄
@@ikerdelpalacio5160 could you explain why? I'm curious now.
Dys Topian... We feel the same about you. Thank you!!!
About Iker del palacio, I think he has not understood anything absolutely.

Hermosa ciudad
Of course, Bilbao ist a very beatiful and peace village. I ♥️. Salutacions desde Barcelona.
Fun fact: Bilbao is one of the 10 smallest cities in the world having a subway system.
The thing is that the subway system takes you to other town/citys that aren't Bilbao, but Greater Bilbao. Greater Bilbao is the metropoli formed from Bilbao to the sea on both sides of the river, and while Bilbao has 345.000 habitants, Greater Bilbao has 875.000 habitants and is the fifth most populous metropolitan area in Spain.
One of the best subway system in the world, design by Norman Foster.

I'm a student based in Chicago and I just came home from spending a semester in Deusto. Bilbao captured my heart because the city and the people is a beautiful combination of the Basque tradition and modern-day development and design. So lucky to have called her my home for five months.
Aira Lheiz Aquino hi can you share a bit more ab the Deusto university? I’m considering going there for my exchange too. Thanks a lot!
@@nguyenngan7410 Hi! I'm a student at Deusto and I could describe you some things about the place. First of all there are a lot of exchange students, mostly from the US and other European counties, but also from Japan and other Asian countries. Bilbao is a very nice city, not very big so you can go everywhere on foot really, it's modern, clean and with almost no crime. Furthermore, public transport is great and you have plenty of activities to enjoy your stay like surfing, hiking, kayaking, going out to clubs and bars and more. The campus is not that big, but it's welcoming and the people are usually pretty open.
Wish you all the best!

A G With all my respects, I have to tell you that technically, Bilbao is Spain, if you don’t fell like being spanish but basque it’s ok, but don't disimform other people.
PD: I’m from Bilbao, and I feel spanish.
@@ecg8510Gracias!, yo comprendo porque me corrije A.G pero la verdad es que Euskadi todavia es parte de España y Creo que ambos se beneficial 😀.

Bilbao is so beautiful. Thank you :)
@Dorset Deb I live in getxo, next to bilbao and I haven´t seen a bat in my hole life
My family roots are from Bilbao ( I live in the Philippines). 'visited the city and my relatives twice already and in all honesty I was super impressed on both occasions. Agur!
Hello po. I'm a Filipina student based in Chicago who just got home from spending five months studying in Bilbao. Sobrang daming connections ng Basque culture sa kultura natin. Nakakatuwa.
Agur🐾🥀
Mabute ! A number of prominent Philippino families have their roots in the Bilbao region , the Aboitiz , Ayala, Garamendi and many more.
Suggestion:
People always visit the city of Bilbao, but you have really nice landscapes going by metro until Sopela's beach or Plentzia and Barrika.
And if a car rental is possible, Armintza and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, are a MUST!
ENJOY!!

Fantastic city, dont let the rain put you off. From a tourist point of view, buy a bixkaiacard, book online pick up from the airport, unlimited transport and will also act as free entry to most of the attractions, the transporter bridge and furnicular rail included, the veiw from the top is spectacular, theres a lido up there, portugelete is a great old street, i stayed in the old town, apart from bars you can buy almost anything in any ammount, even odd buttons, fantastic place, so much to see. The termibus is a gateway to spain. Basques are my favourite people, next stop san Sebastian eh Stuart?

@Dorset Deb
wow, ive never heard of that before, that must be quite a worry for you. i do like bats myself and im sure id have noticed them if they were there, ive only been once in summer and stayed in the old town, never seen any then and the other times ive been in winter perhaps they hibernate? im sure if you email the ayuntamiento they would tell you. good luck and it would be nice to know.
@Dorset Deb
Did you ever find owt about bats in bilbao? Just as an aside line, ive remembered that valencia has a bat on the city insignia so maybe give that city a wide berth,
@@johnnewton3335 /Bats are cute! Someone I new had a bat hanging from their living room lights. They left the window open at night so he could go out. He would return at dawn!
Sanitago Calatrava also designed the Samuel Beckett and James Joyce bridges in Dublin. Viva Irlanda!!! :)
Menudo desgraciado, anda que hacer un puente resbaladizo en el País Vasco... Y luego pedía una indemnización por ponerle la moqueta a su "gran obra".
Santiago Calatrava hizo desastres también en Valencia. Menudo impresentable.
I spent a year in Bilbao 1973-74. It was industrial, grey, with soot falling from the sky. The River Nervión was a horrible brown colour and very dead! I returned for a couple of days 40 years later and was absolutely amazed at the transformation to a city where people seem to be uppermost. There were new green spaces, beautiful riverside walks, amazing new architecture, an excellent transport system,etc etc. It all seemed to make for a very high quality of life. Would love to go back.
My GF is from bilbao. We visit 2x a year. Best city ever. You do not need a car. After work or during you go for a drink. Social life is top notch. Food cheap and alco cheap. Fantastic parks. People friendly. BEAUTIFUL CITY.
Yo soy de Barcelona pero País Vasco Asturias Cantabria son muuy bonitas me gustaría vivir alliii💙
I was in Bilbao just two weeks ago. Walking along the Ría was amazing! The architecture of the Guggenheim is a work of art in itself. Postcard views in all directions. Thanks for the video from Arizona, USA!
Thank you so much from Bilbao. Best regards.
Thanks, I Will Go Bilbao...

Dorset Deb in the night you can see a few of them , but there aren’t a lot of , but now in summer the night begins at 21:15 so in the day you can see and enjoy Bolbao
Dorset Deb I really don’t know but it isn’t usually see them because there are a lot of light
Cities in the Basque Country are all amazing! Bilbo, Baiona, Donosti, Iruña and Gasteiz are simply breathtaking!
You're breathtaking
Bayona is in France
Don't worry no bats!
Baiona is in Lapurdi, one of the seven historic counties of the Basque Country. Every day is a learning experience Pedro!

My favorite place on Earth! I was lucky to have spend the best 6 months of my life there and I’ve been dreaming to come back and stay there forever! Thank you for a beautiful and informative video! :)
hello
I was 7 years old the first time I visited Bilbao. I had family living there and though my memory of Bilbao back then was limited,I do remember it being a very industrial city. I remember mentioning the stench in the air,little did i know it was the pollution I was smelling. I remember the river being very polluted too,it look very dirty. That was in 1978. Fast forward to 2005,the city to my pleasure had a complete makeover. A lot of the old industries closed down and the city started modernising it’s transport and public infrastructure. The Basques enjoy probably the highest standard of living in Spain. Yes,their train metro was very good considering that Bilbao is not a huge city.
I must say,Bilbao offers some of if not the best food in Spain. Their pintxos are to die for,yes you do pay for them but they are big elaborate works of food art and taste. That wine txakoli isn’t for the faint hearted! and Patxaran is another good after lunch drink.
You have to try Bacalao al pil pil and marmitako de atun too. I remember snacking on these tiny sea snails that you use a pin to get at the meat. Surprisingly tasty 😋.
I lived in a place called Astrabadua for 6 months and worked at Getxo.
Bilbao lies in a valley,it can get very humid and a touch hot in summer. It rains quite a bit but not as much as Galicia. I’ve been told the climate has changed over the years but hey,isn’t that the trend everywhere these days. I know there’s the political situation there(though not as much these days) but I would chose the Basque Country over Catalunya any day.
i first visted bilbao in 1981 after living in navarra for 2 years and it was to my young 20 year old eyes a scarier place than salford where i was born and bred and scruffy compared to navarra which to me was and still is heaven on earth ( like many places in northern spain ) but after visiting again at the tender age of 59 i have seen that Bilbao has transformed itself into a beautiful place to enjoy life
Beautiful reading...
Honestly if I had to, I would live in Bilbao and commute to Madrid. I wouldn't bother with any other city in Spain.
Bilbao é precioso yo vivo aquí me encanta 🙋🏼♀️😍 Agur

Came back home from Bilbao a few days ago. Bilbao is the coziest and nicest place I know! My second home ever since my exchange year there 13 years ago. One should also visit the outskirts of the city, parts like Algorta, Sopelana, Plentzia and Gorliz, which all have beaches too.
I've visited Spain a month ago and it really impressed me, amazing country. Bilbao is also one of the cities i want to visit, so thanks for the video. Liked, subscribed)
Beautiful Bilbao!! 😍 I've been a couple times and Bilbao is so refreshing after coming from visiting Barcelona or Madrid. As always, great video!! 👍
I'm english but have lived in Southern Spain for 6 years and after visiting Bilbao I'm now planning on heading back up there to live. Such a beautiful city with lovely people, great food and such a calm place. Thanks for the upload!

Wellcome home 🏡
Hi Billy, I'm Jay. I'm a Pro Musician from lreland... did you move to Bilbao ? What's the live music scene like ? Thanks
I'm sorry for you.
My parents in law live in the centre of Bilbao, not far from the Abando train station. I married my wife in the beautiful renaissance church of San Vicente. It's a city that has been transformed beyond recognition from what it was 30 years ago. I think it's a fantastic city but I've only seen it since its makeover. My wife spent most of her formative years in Bilbao and went to university there and she remembers it when it was dirty and industrial. The estuary was filthy but today it's full of life and you can see the fish. It's been a masterpiece of urban planning that has won many awards. The Guggenheim was a brilliant idea but we also have the bridge, metro and airport which have all won awards. The tram system is good and large parts of the city have been sympathetically pedestrianised.There's also a great deal of public art and sculpture. It's been so successful that other cities have tried to emulate it and bankrupted themselves in the process.
One of the great things about Bilbao is the excellent quality of the shops. The New Town has many top Spanish shops and has a great deal of panache. I love the Old Town (Casco Viejo) which has a delightfully alternative feel. Keep an eye out too for the many beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in the centre of the city. The food, of course, is fantastic and even the menu del dias in Bilbao are the best in Spain. 10 euros will get you a fine meal and a bottle of wine. Some of the less glamorous looking places will still serve great food. The pintxos are great and every Basque city will say theirs are the best. There's an art to a pintxo and it's not going to be free. Besides, tapas isn't free in most of Spain, except for some olives or crisps, etc
Transport in and out of Bilbao is great. Getting a coach to San Sebastian is astonishingly cheap. You can jump on the metro and for a couple of euros go north to the coast to places like Getxo and Plenzia and both places are well worth visiting. There's a history of money in Getxo and that's reflected in the volume of beautiful houses although the oldest part still retains a strong, salty, Basque, maritime flavour. There are some delightful places to eat in Getxo, particularly seafood, but it's not cheap. Plenzia, the last stop on the metro, has a delightful beach and atmospheric old centre.
The one thing you will see on the metro to these places is greater Bilbao, where the city has expanded, and it's not glamorous. There is poverty. There's a lot of money in this region but there are many people that struggle and we must not forget that. This city has a history of struggle and I would recommend visiting the Maritime Museum and the Basque Museum to understand the very hard history of the Bay all the way down to Bilbao. That really puts the modern transformation into perspective. I love the fact that this is a special part of Spain and I love the Basque culture and people. I come from Wales (Gales) so I know what it's like to have a powerful joint neighbour. Great video Stuart. Thanks. WT
Wow, very informative, you should have your own channel on Spain!
@@MoreChannelNoise Thank you, I really appreciate that. I am tempted but all technical stuff puts me off. I'm quite old school really. Stuart knows that I speak my mind and I point out the good and bad things about Spain. The bottom line is that I think it's a wonderful country but there are some issues. Cheers
@@ikerdelpalacio5160 Yes, you speak for yourself
It’s funny you say that there is poverty in grater Bilbao and there are towns with highest incomes per capital than Bilbao
@@ikerdelpalacio5160 I certainly didn't mean to offend Iker. Read my comment again and I think you will agree that I love the Basque region. I come from Wales (Gales) so I'm well aware of how you feel. I reject that I am "utterly offensive" and you really need to learn to accept praise when you see it. Please try to lower the level of hate and think calmly about your response to comments. There's too much of that in the world and I'm sure you don't wish to contribute. WT
I am visiting my spanish family close to Bilbao right now. I am from Vienna with the highest standart of living in the world but Bilbao is simply great!
Bilbao is very cheap compared to Vienna. I am from Hungary and I should say that Budapest is more expensive than Bilbao.
Vienna - nice architecture but boring for food. Austrians are friendlier than the Swiss though.
Greetings from Australia
@@evatoth7482 Budapest is on line with cheap southern Spanish cities such as Granada. I’d say Bilbao is a step more expensive.
"with the highest Standart of living". You are ridiculous! Seriously do you think Viena and Austria generally has higher Standart of living than Spain? Please, go back to bed with your dreams
Y una de las mejores de Europa! En 2018, obtuvo el premio a la "Mejor Ciudad Europea 2018"!!!
Soy venezolano y vivo en Bilbo desde hace 12 años y me fascina Bilbao poque es una ciudad pequeña, con no muchos habitantes pero con mucho swing! Cosmopolita sin ser bulliciosa... cómoda porque todo queda cerca... magnífica comunicación vial... bajísimo índice delictivo... gente amable y amigable... y una gastronomía exquisita! Musicalmente es amplia, con su Getxo Jazz, donde se presentan músicos del primer nivel (en esa calle Ledesma me encontré una vez con el conguero trompetista de jazz latino Jerry González). Su relación músicos-habitantes podría compararla con Viena, Nueva York, La Habana, Londres o Nueva Orleans... Bella ciudad!!!

I would love to go to a bilbao game
@Mara L football
Completely agree with F RL one of the best spanish football teams
bilbao was a lot more fun before the transformation in a turistic city....in the xx century it was full of bars and gigs....a lot of r,n,r places(a lot more than now)...and people were richer ...there was money spending a lot more than now...the true spirit of bilbao was stolen after the transformation....now is another dull city in a globalized world....
When you were in Getxo, what you were seeing on the other side of the River was not Bilbao, it was Portugalete and Santurtzi, another 2 cities worth visiting. Portugalete is my hometown,beautiful in every way... The hanging Bridge the most beautiful one, and the medieval part is magical... Santurtzi with its fishing port and loads of history ... Bilbao is beautiful but there are more places worth seeing around the city...

Be careful with this title. Most people in Euskadi will not consider themselves as Spanish people, and so, neither will they think Bilbao is in Spain. You can and will offend some people. I have a similar feeling whenever saying Barcelona is in Spain. Something moves inside my guts and impotence takes me on.
Bilbao está en España y Barcelona también. Los deseos y sentimientos son respetables pero los hechos son sagrados. Ambas ciudades son españolas porque la historia lo ha querido así.
@@antoniodelgado4930 Taiwán, o también conocido, no tan popularmente, como República de China, está bajo dominio administrativo de la República Popular China, el gran país de mil millones de habitantes. Si preguntas al govierno Chino si Taiwán es de su propiedad se van a reír, luego van a respirar hondo y decir que sí, Taiwán es territorio Chino. Pero si preguntas a un taiwanés, o a alguien de cualquier otro país del mundo, lo más probable es que te respondan que Taiwán es un país independiente.
Es tema de historia que se haya llegado a este punto. Pero se ha llegado. Y por temas de historia, hay una gran parte de ciertas comunidades autónomas que reclaman, al igual que Taiwán, la independencia respecto un país que les retiene. Es cierto que las comunidades aún forman parte de España, pero por simple respeto como estranjero es mejor evitar ciertos temas, y este es uno de ellos sin duda. Puedes herir muchos sentimientos.
That's not true at all. Mostly of them consider Spanish people, don't say bullshit, because Basque Country is much more calm down than Catalonia in terms of Independence.

Love Bilbao....Spain Is great country to visit... and I was lucky to visit the country in 2016 from North to South by train. Spain is doing a good job in all cities with parks, pedestrian lanes and gardens. Great food and great culture.
I like driving into Bilbao from the A8 I think Valencia and drop down past beautiful scenery of trees and Swiss style house, breathe taking
I would love to visit Bilbao! The Basque people are so proud and wonderful and the food/culture in unmatched.
Bilbao is basque country no spain
Y es
Nice bait
Thats just your opinion
Hay una expresión en madrid "Que viene la vasca". Se utiliza cuando vienen amigos o parte de la cuadrilla. Su uso se remonta a cuando en guerra, bajaban las tropas vascongadas, porque siempre tuvimos fama los vascos de defender a la corona siendo los más valientes repartiendo estopa como los que más.
Recuerda que alla donde el imperio español estuvo siempre quedaron apellidos vascos. Si no hubiesemos sido hispanos, la corona nunca hubiese permitido que nuestros apellidos hubiesen colonizado el mundo.
En resumen, si eres vasco, eres más español que los conejos.
No hablo de lo que tu te sientas. Yo no me siento español ni nada por el estilo. Hablo de conocer tu propia historia y no dejar que te engañen los de siempre, que ya bastantes mentiras hemos de aguantar por estas tierras.

As a spanish guy, here is my top of cities in Spain, Europe:
1 - Madrid
2 - Barcelona
3 - Bilbao
4 - Gijón
5 - Valencia
I thought more foreigners seems like Valencia more?
Interesting! Would love to know, why you make your choice like this :) Care to share please? ;)
Great video of my home! just an appreciation: I will say that our pintxos are sophisticated tapas ;)
Good memories from Bilbao. I cycled in on the Camino del Norte. It has the worst off road uphill section and a steep cobblestone section to get into town. I met a local cyclist who joined me all day showing me the sights like the transporter bridge and a little boat museum. He even carried my bike up the steps to the coast path as he told me it was better than the road route.
Lo que hace que una ciudad sea bonita de verdad es su gente y Bilbao es un ejemplo.
El casco viejo de Bilbao lleno de correligionarios de ETA, ¿ también te resulta bonito?
No hay nada como el egoísmo de olvidar la masacre de ETA y la sangre inocente derramada por los asesinos en las Vascongadas y en el resto de España.
¿ Gente bonita con bilduetarras andando por las calles?...
Totalmente de acuerdo.

Solo das lastima y algo de risa.
Llevo 5 años viviendo en Bilbao! Y la verdad es que es una ciudad fantástica. No la cambio por nada! 👏🏽❤️
Puedes vivir sin hablar nada de euskara¿?
@@anonymousv5502 Si. Viví allí varios años y, si trabajas en la empresa privada, no vas a necesitar el euskera para nada. Agur.
@@anonymousv5502 ,sí. Toda la gente conoce el español/castellano , aunque para algunos su lengua materna es el euskera (vasco) , pero te puedes comunicar con todos en español
Yo no se casi nada de euskera (algo que me gustaria cambiar, pero ese es otro tema xd) y llevo viviendo aqui toda mi vida. No hay problema, aqui nadie va a dejarte de hablar por eso vamos.
@@anonymousv5502 aquí se habla castellano ,por si no lo sabias y se habla muy claro mejor k en otras ciudades de España
You nailed it. Thanks for your accurate description of BILBAO.
Spain is filled with history and great architecture, and yet most tourist end up in Ibiza, Canary Islands or some resort, rolling around their chubby bodies in the sand and mingle their sweat together in the sea, they are missing so much.
😂😂😂😂 "rolling around their chubby bodies"
Gonna move there in two months for my study, I'm so excited! Great videos
Then enjoy it, one of the best cities in the world.
Ongi Etorri
Bilbao non è una città per visitare, ma semplicemente per vivere.
Wellcome to paradise!
would love to see a video about how to find quiet villages ...with cheap rent ;-) ...preferably far from Madrid
I am from Bilbao! I really enjoyed this video, congratulations!
Have a great day or how we say in basque "Egun on bat izan!"
Agur
Naiara R . Tu opinión es lamentable... Seguro que no lo hablas.
Si odias todo lo que desconoces... mejor no salgas de casa .
Ah!!! Cámbiate de nombre, pobre desdichada, si es que sabes su traducción al español.
No seré yo el que te ilustre en ese sentido, investiga, coge un libro que no muerde. Aunque a seres de tu especie...deberían.
Estudia mucho que septiembre está a la vuelta de la esquina, aprobando dos al año, en cinco añitos podrías pasar de curso.
Suerte, maja!!!
@Dorset Deb bats? Never. Come relaxed.
Llevo 7 años viviendo en Bilbao, me ha brindado tanto, su cultura, su gente, mi trabajo, amigos,... Una vida, y claro está que una ciudad como esta es incomparable porque aparte me ha permitido viajar y la comparación es grande, gracias bilbao y su gente 🤗
Gracias santidad.
😂
I lived in Bilbo for almost 7 years. It has the upsides of a large city without the downside of a mega city. It is my favorite place in the world.
life before covid... like if youre watching this after covid.
I congratulate you for such an excellent report on this magnificent city. You forgot to say that it is also one of the safest cities in Spain and even in Europe. You will not have problems and dangers like in Barcelona or Madrid. I will be back soon!
Bilbao is not even Spain. Visit Burgos, Granada, Segovia, Sevilla to find a real spanish city.
I agree entirely 12 years living in the beautiful Basque Country
Los vascos somos los mejores aupa bilbo jajjaja👏
Hey, thanks for sharing a view of Spain in a language I understand... Wow - Spain... I'm impressed & I'm looking forward to another visit... Gracias.
Most Americans ignore the north of Spain, I think. But Bilbao looks like a "must visit".
Bilbao es precioso, pero ya que estás ahí, echa un vistazo a San Sebastián o Santander
bilbao is beautiful thank God I live there ,,
Bilbao is not spain its basque country
Izurra Izurraa Bilbao is spain, Basque Country (pais Vasco) is not a country of its own. It’s part of spain, one of the provinces (“states”) of spain
It’s actually an occupied county which isn’t allowed to decide if it wants to be its own country. I hope we have that opportunity soon. Gora Euskadi Askatuta!
ya está el tonto de la banderita
Hi there!! You missed out Café Iruña, a must visit!! Next block to Ledesma St, in Albia Gardens. Also missing Bilbao views from Artxanda hill balcony, New San Mamés football stadium, almost no pintxos showed on screen... Any way, fantastic video!! Being honest, Bilbao is the center for the Milky-way... :)
A Bilbao guy who appreciated your task very deeply.
Hola: Te has pasado por alto el Café Iruña, imprescindible, en Jardines de Albia. Las vistas desde Artxanda, casi no se ven pintxos en pantalla, San Mamés... aún así, ¡¡video enoooooorme!!
Y sí, Bilbao es el centro de la Vía Láctea.
Un chico de Bilbao que apreció mucho tu video.
Mostly a video of you. I saw what you looked like. You missed loads of great shots of showing what you were seeing, not showing us your kisser. Sorry, but accurate criticism. Turn the camera around!
Unemployment in the Basque country has always been much lower than other parts of Spain, about 12 per cent in the worst days of the 2008 crisis. Nice post anyway. Gracias.
Some parts of the rioja region are in the basque country, so they are our wines as well
Bilbao Bizkaia
Lebensraum?
@@sonofdurin8044 ???
La riojanos alaveses nunca han sido gente vasca, fueron castellanos toda la vida...habéis convertido a la Rioja Alavesa en vasca a base de matraca y mentiras nazi-onalistas!!!
@@rsnankivell1962 Lol, basque people used to extend in a bigger area than what is Basque country nowadays.
@@rsnankivell1962 Totalmente cierto. Logroño quedó como Comunidad Autónoma porque al PNV le salía urticaria teniendo a Castilla de Frontera y se inventó la Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja. En cuanto a lo de "La Rioja Alavesa" es un puro cuento de los Nacionalistas, al igual que quieren apropiarse de Cantabria, también territorio castellano.
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers. I liked the video⭐
Valencia, Madrid and Bilbao are my favourite cities in Spain.
Barcelona is the best in Spain
@@sergi4338 no lo veo asi de claro... siendo tan sucia y con la tasa de criminalidad mas alta de españa
@@josurodriguez5717 yo me llevé una decepción con Barcelona. Le falta carisma, personalidad. Algo que le haga diferente de las demás.
Barcelona cada vez es peor ciudad, cara, masificada, mucha delincuencia y prostitución y se ve cada vez un ambiente peor, además podría decir y esto es mi opinión, que es el sitio de España donde la gente es menos agradable y peor tratan al de fuera, nada que ver con Bilbao, Madrid, Sevilla, Vigo etc...
@@doritoman9494 Es porque está muy masificada y despersonalizada con lo "typical spanish" que van a buscar los turistas. Pero personalidad y carisma tiene y mucha, pero está eclipsada por el turismo.
Please, not again. Pintxo and tapa are not the same thing, they are not even similar. Pintxo is great cuisine in small portions: this includes some easy-to-make recipes (such as potato omelette or gildas) and others more complex that take hours to cook (stews, cod in pilpil, squid in black sauce, seafood au gratin...). And the vegan option is growing every day (Garibolo is a vegetarian restaurant that has been open for almost 40 years).
Of course that having such good foods and cooks (the Basque Country has the highest density of Michelin stars just behind Tokyo) we are very reticent to world fast food franchises the like of BK, MD, Starbucks. Why will you spend 10€ in a ultra-low quality menu if you can have a starter, main dish, desert, bread and drink for less than 15€ from M to F?
Come and visit the Basque Country, you'll never regret it.
Trying to boil Spain's best down to one city is kind of a long shot. I've visited Spain about 20 times in my life. I lived in three different cities and got to know the country well. You do such a good job portraying its beauty. Thank you!
Gut, aber wir sprechen jetzt über dem Baskenland, nicht über Spanien.
Spain is awesome!😍
Basque country is not spain. Is not france
ya está el tonto de la banderita. Para uno que habla bien de Bilbao venis a estropearlo. Solo faltan los MENAS aqui diciendo que les van a robar... TORPES.
@@raul46170 ninguna bandera. Español

Bilbao - Is this the best city in Basque country?
Bilbao, Granada, Madrid and San Sebastian are my favourites cities of Spain. Also Salamanca but different. Very very nice
Barcelona is the best
what is Barcelona is a city with a correct past and a stalemate without solution in the next years. It wants to be what can not be. one of the great European and world cities. such as London, Paris, Vienna, Rome, Madrid, Tokyo, Beijing, New York or Shanghai. For that, history and much international weight are necessary. Work correctly one or two centuries more and it will look.
Vitoria,pamplona,zamora o a coruña y santander tambn son very nice
Aber ... Bilbao und Donostia liegen im Baskenland, nicht in Spanien.
solo hace falta que estudies un poco de historia (la que te han contado creo que no vale por lo qsue parece), de geografía política y una pastillita de realidad y realismo. Tranquilidad, poco a poco se cura casi todo@@gontzallekzeit2050
So clean and green!
91 people from san sebastian?
In The Basque Country some of the best red wines are produced. That is why it is not correct to say
as it is said in the report that in Bilbao the wine is imported from La Rioja because La Rioja ( with article) is an autonomous comunity and Rioja ( without artcle) is a denomination of viticulture origin that includes part of the autonomous community of La Rioja and part of the autonomous community of Euskadi, specifically Álava region of Errioxa ( Rioja alavesa in Spanish) which produces excellent wines with its own character within the Rioja designation of origin, was to the point that requested to create their own denomination I was denied them I suppose for polítical reasons.
Therefore in Euskadi not only its cuisine is excellent but also its wines.
La mejor ciudad del mundo 🌎 💕
Really nigga??come to Vitoria or Gijon or Oviedo. Even Donosti. What about lovely little town and country side villages?
