    You used Andalousian music for the video. There is some nice local Basque music which would have fit better ;)

      Thanks for the tip! Didn't actually realise there was such thing as Basque music.. I just assumed Spanish music was for all parts of Spain 😄

      ​@@MillieMoments 😂😂 I,m from Basque Country and I love Andalousian music but in this part of Spain the music is very different.
      Spain has a lot of different music.
      For example Celtic music in Galician or Basque folk.
      You wold listen Oskorri or Kepa Junkera. They are groups of Basque folk.
      Sorry for my english😊.

      Please Milie, with love, It wood be good, if before visiting a country, you inform yourself of their custom and culture. The music that accompanies the video , and havent somthing against It, is not part of the culture of the Basque Country. For your information, BCountry is part of Spain in the south, and France in the north, you will know Biarritz (Basque country in France). You talk about Spain as if It were a uniformity, but it is not,; perhaps you wouldnt talk like that about England and Scottalnd for example. Itis practically the same. UK of Great Britain, ok? Spain is UK of Hispania.

      @@MillieMoments Millie Millie Millie, you cannot be saying that if you are "based" in Spain. What do you mean by "Spanish music"?! That's a very ignorant thing to assume, which can happen if you're a Brit living in Britain and not caring for other parts of the world. But, Millie, you actually LIVE in Spain. You should've realized by now Spain is a completely different world every 100 miles. Different culture, gastronomy, history, traditions or even languages!
      Omg, Millie, c'mon

    I'm supposing the guy used a "false friend" (a mistranslated word) when he said Euskera is dialect. That's wrong because Euskera is not only a language, but the oldest one in Europe. And is also a treasure for being an isolated language with no relationships with any other European (World) language family.
    Bilbao was founded as "Villa" in 1300 and that means it was a city before. It's the perfect place were mountains and sea come together, practice some water sports, ride a bike in the mountains or the city, stop to have a latte with some typical cake or pastry, try some local dishes, drink a txakoli (a white local wine)and some pintxos, the product and the food are amazing (for all budges), you can wander the Old Town or the riverside watching stunning architecture (from classical to works by Pritzker Price winners), visit museums*, enjoy a summer music festival, go to opera, ballet...
    * Not only the Guggenheim, The Fine Arts Museums is considered one of the best in Europe.

    Bilbao is so underrated, it's amazing there. It is so nice to have a small walkable town but still has everything in it. Santander is amazing as well.

    • @MillieMoments
      @MillieMoments  9 месяцев назад

      I agree! It's totally different to everywhere else I have been in Spain! I haven't been to Santander myself but would love to go... Anything in particular you'd recommend doing there? Thanks for watching my vlog 😊
