We also have the world's best chef Gordon ramsay also played for rangers

Are you a rapper? Sounds like I'm listening to music.

Great video man. You might know more about Glasgow than any of us who've lived here forever do haha. Well done. Also, you nailed the pronounciation of Sauchiehall street which isn't easy for non-natives, well done.

Find a place out of the city, Sandweiller, niedanvan or even Bereldange, public transport is really good, so living out of the city is no problem, if you’ve got a car, like any city, parking is a true pain. Remember there is one heck of a lot of cross border workers, from France, Germany and Belgium so driving at commuter times is mental....get the bus or train.....when I lived there I purchased a scooter just to get in the city, parking for motorbikes is free😂🥳 and lots of bike only spaces too. There are Aldi supermarkets and really expensive ones too, the ones that each Saturday the locals and top earners like to dress up and prove to the rest that they exist😳😫😫😫 If you fly into Lux, don’t get a taxi from the airport, use the bus, it’s only a 15 min journey to the centre city and is way way cheaper. When the new airport terminal was constructed it was planned to have a train link to the city but the taxi union blocked it😳😖😖😖 a lot of local hotels have a link service too, which is free, just ask.... There’s even a dedicated British shop, on the outskirts of the city, expensive but good. Try out the Grund, for an evening out, the Britannia pub, obviously British, maybe not bobs, brilliant food, on the American theme and the irish pub, locally called the Pyg, short for Pygmalion...and of course Scott’s bar... Be prepared for a fun night 🥰😂

Iff your skilled, go to Australia. Worked in Lux for a long time, no more, it’s way way more expensive than you’d believe, but it’s social system is excellent. If your looking for a decent sized 1 bed apart close to the city then be prepared to pay up to 2k per month😳😱 if you can find something small for under 1500euros your doing well. Top tip, if your thinking of commuting, don’t choose France to live, Germany is way better.

An honest personal account of this country. Spent 20+ years working there, started a a skilled engineer and was truly shocked after my first months salary, too over 10 yrs to equal my original pre Lux wages. That said, the social system is really really good, great hospitals and brilliant public transport. Because of its very nature and size, it can become ‘boring’ but then, can’t any country? It’s how you live your life that matters.... Got some amazing memories of Lux but happier now I’ve moved away,

SANTANDER ???

I am moving to Bilbao in 2 weeks for a few months and this video is what I needed :) I have been there only for 1 day last year but I was very intrigued by the place. Thanks it is a super nice and well executed video

You’ll find loads of folk pretending to be Irish.

Thank you. From Florida

You deserve a sponsorship from Glasgow Tourist Board for the effort put into this fella.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You never learnt the language nor did you have the spirit of hard work and here you are complaining and blaming others for your own failure. Bravo

👍🫂👏📼😃🎦🤜🤛from BILBAO,agur.

Sorry David, some corrections. 07:49 Is not that Fortaleza de Santa Cruz de Barra? A bit too far Rio de Janeiro from the Mediterranean sea. 08:40 That lighthouse is in the same island, but 17 km west. Hard to believe you can see Africa from there when earth curvature, at sea level, barely allows you to see at 5 km distance and from there to Africa there's 235 km... You can see the mountains of Africa (like Jbel Mouse, 840 m height) from Tarifa, Cádiz. But that's only 20 km and the mountains elevation is quite serious. How you see the relations between the Basque Country ans the Central Government of Spain is quite wrong and quite superficial. There is too much History (centuries) behind and tons of shit vomited from the Spanish nationalism (especially the far-right one) and the Basque nationalism (right-wing, left wing, middle wing). The first ones use to complain about "some kind of new privileges" that are not new and not exactly "privileges" because they hate everything different of "their Spain Kingdom". And the Basques have some right to talk about repression and persecution, in especial since Franco's dictatorship. This is a very long discussion the size of northern Ireland or Scotland with the UK. The Basque Country, the little, small, Basque Country, is the fifth autonomy in GNP. In other terms, 2 million people out of 47 million population (that's around a 4%) produce more less (depends on the years) almost 7% of the total richness. Why? less political corruption, more industrial fabric, a good tourism: gastro, culture, nature... no hooligans, crazy parties, drugs and alcohol. And about the Independence thing, only 30% of today Basques believe that is a good idea. I'm sure some far-right voter will feel the need to answer me about this. I'll just grab a coffee and sit here. I almost forget about famous Basques you didn't mention: Paco Rabanne, Balenciaga (fashion designers), Simón Bolívar (Basque ascendant and Liberator of America from the Spanish Kingdom), Saint Ignatius of Loyola and Saint Francis Xabier (both co-founders of Society of Jesus Order), Edurne Pasaban (first woman to make the fourteen eight-thousanders peaks), our famous Basque Cuisine with international known chefs (Arzak, Eneko Atxa, Subijana, Berasategi, Aduriz...), artists Maurice Ravel, Oteiza, Chillida... And two of the best European Museums: the Fine Arts Museum and Guggenheim Bilbao. And yes, Javier/Xabier, García, Eche-whatever surnames, Aguirre, Iñaki, Natxo, and a long list of names and family names have their roots in Basques, as well as Spanish (and other languages) have many words (and rules) from Basque language: izquierda, five vowel sounds, mochila, mus, pacharán, bizarro, perro, etc. The average Basque loves Cantabria, not the same to their Franco nostalgia you can even feel today with some intensity. And..... That's all. Nice video BTW!

Very good. Looking forward to part 2.

👏

Me encanta, David!

Hi! About those old windowed facades, some landlords get permission from the town hall to add the balconies to the room. I have seen this several times: the renovation creates a cosy reading area with natural light, a space for chatting or just a larger living room. · The citizens of Bilbao are ashamed of Zubizuri Bridge. It is a catastrophic bridge designed by a botched architect. Probably the worst architect in the world. Always with cost overruns, doubling or tripling budgets, buildings with leaks, facades falling off, no emergency exits, auditoriums that only have one lift, expensive mechanical elements that never work, etc. If it were up to me, I would dynamite it. Any other bridge in the city is better and/or even more beautiful. · 10:49 two buildings, in front of the Iberdrola Tower, designed by Rafael Moneo and Alvaro Siza, two of the 7 Pritzker Prize winners in Bilbao. · Puppy (we say poo-pee 🙃) was made in 1992, but is there since the Guggen was established in 1997. · Actually Don Diego is not the founder of the city but the Lord who gave the category of Villa with privileges similar to the ones of a city. That means that Bilbao existed very very long time before as a port town. It's circa 1300 that the city wall is built up surrounding what today is called Casco Viejo or Siete Calles (Old Town or Seven Streets = the first seven streets of the city).The street you are biking when you said the name Don Diego, is in fact Gran vía (we just say this for shorting) de Don Diego López de Haro. · 16:07 that's the Palacio Euskalduna para Congresos y Música or Euskalduna Jauregia (in Basque). It was awarded as the best congress centre in the world in 2002. It has several performance halls with seating capacity from 600 seats downwards and an auditorium known for its excellent acoustics with a capacity of 2164 people and a stage of 1770 sq m. The opera season is celebrated here from Autumn to Spring. · 16:41 on the left the Itsasmuseum (Maritime or Sea Museum), on the right the red crane by name Carola. Formerly that space from there to (behind you) the Deusto Bridge was where the Euskalduna Shipyards were located, and that is where the Auditorium took its name. · The Vizcaya Bridge or Transporter Bridge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (in the Industrial Heritage category). It was the first ferry bridge in the world and today, I believe, only 8 are still in operation.

Great job, buddy!!

I'm moving there in 1 month lmao, still giving it a shot

A fair and accurate description of Glasgow, well done

Your English is excellent. 👌👊👍

Well done young man for an excellent portrayal of my home city.

BARRY WHO ? WHIT ? TALKIN SHIZER

We visites the city a couple of weeks ago. Its a very nice city trip destination.

Do u see Asian or witness might be friends or you interact to in Luxembourg? Thank You, I'm from Indonesia

He best and most comprehensive video on my home city. Well done. ❤❤❤

What about Rekalde and Irala???

Would you, please, share your GPX tracks for the quickest way to get out of Bilbao? It feels daunting to navigate out of the city-if you know what I mean. I will be cycling through Bilbao next month and I’m scared to the max! Which roads shall I cycle through in order to get to Castro-Urdiales, please? Your feedback/suggestions will be greatly appreciated-for which I thank you in advance. Cheers ;^3

Some would say Gernika is the capital.

Bilbao is not the capital of the Basque Country. However, it is the biggest city in the said region / community. Vitoria is the "de facto" capital city of The Basque Country. The Basque Country comprises of 3 provinces which are: Bizkaia (Capital City: Bilbao), Alava (Capital City Vitoria) and Gipuzkoa (Capital city: Donostia / San Sebastian).

Bilbao los Cristianos ellos mismo mataron mulsumanes la batalla la Navas de Tolosa en toda españa

Looks nice, they need more protected bike paths, though.

This is a great video! Do you have a map of Bilbao that shows the streets with bike lanes and the separate bike paths? I wish Google maps had the bike infrastructure for Spain.

4:30 Bilbao more expensive than Madrid or Barcelona? LMAO 🤣🤣 Not true at all as I've been there & if you know from where to buy in Bilbao it's way cheaper than most cities in Europe

please no more "without further adieu" everyone uses this.

Los vascos derrotaron a los romanos, árabes, a Carlomagno pero no han derrotado a los Españoles.😂😂❤ viva los vascos!

A very good video. Very informative. I'm going to Glasgow in two weeks.

Personally, I very much appreciate the historical perspective because if I move somewhere I want to get a feel for the character of the people and the geography.

Quality video, great content well presented.

Very good video. I enjoy hearing the history of any country. It is an important part of knowing the country and it's people. Thank you

Bro! Thanks a million for such an informative, comprehensive and objective review of the city! Really really helped me out, since I am planning to do an exchange semester there! Seems like a cool place!

I'm one of the weirdos who love Luxembourg but I recognise that im very biased. Everything you stated is still valid, and a feeling shared by a lot of millennials who move here. I have been visiting the country since 1998 and moved in 2017, first to do a masters degree. My partner and I also have family here or in the neighbouring countries, so we never felt isolated. Luxembourg fits my personality and lifestyle. For me, a good weekend is leaving early with the motorcycle to random places in the country, hike around and photograph. I'm also just a few hours away from other scenic routes in the neighbouring countries. For me, it feels like a playground and there is plenty I dont have to worry about, compared to my home country. It's not perfect... but what place is? As long as we get to choae a place that fits us better, that's what matters. Life is too short to just follow money.

I am from Luxembourg but left it and live in Paraguay

Excellent video!

Very informative ❤

Looks really nice. What are the living costs like in Bilbao?

Hasent mentiond how closs Glagow is to the UKs largest nuclear storage area which could be a disaster

Thanks so much for posting the truth about Luxembourg! Everything you mentioned was truly right. Salaries are not great for the insane and ridiculous expenses in terms of rent or food prices. Work places are mostly toxic with insane turnovers! Even if the city is trying so hard to make it exciting with some events, it is unfortunately by far the most boring place on earth. There is no lake or mountain and people are not really nice because they think they are rich or the best in everything.

I am visiting Spain this year, in particular Northern Spain. Thank you very much for putting in the time and effort into making this video. Cheers from McAllen Texas!
