1. Basque is a language, not a dialect. 2. Bilbao is not the capital city of Basque Country, but Vitoria. 3. Pintxos and tapas are totally different things. 4. The ones that drink sangria in Spain are mostly tourists.
Madre mía es terrible comparar la calidad gastronómica y de elaboración que lleva un pintxo con los restos con los que se hacen las tapas! 😂 No se puede esperar mucho de este tipo de turistas promedio. Repletos de tópicos y estereotipos. 😅
Basque Country has 7 provinces : 3 under France and 4 under Spain and Basque language is not any dialect, but it is an isolated and oldest language of Europe.
We were in Bilbao in 2001. The Basque language (euskera) is one of the four official languages of Spain. It is not a dialect. It's completely different than Spanish or any of the other Romance Languages.
Thanks for watching!
@@dabbleandtravel It's proto european. So ancient.
@@dabbleandtravelyou dont give a damn haha
Bilbao is such a beautiful city with its mixture of the old and the new perfectly complimenting eachother.
Spent a summer in Bilbao in 2017 and it has held a special place in my heart ever since! The Basque country and its people are absolutely incredible!
Aw that’s great! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Dabble abd travel you guys are awesome.❤❤❤😊
La Corunna South of Bilbao? The closest cruise Spanish port South of Bilbao is Cadix. Did you check the map about where are you traveling? Corunna is West of Bilbao at the Northwestern tip of Spain, Galicia. Basque language is not a dialect but the oldest and only pre-IndoEuropean language still spoken in Europe since long before Latin or any Celtic or Germanic language. Enjoy your trip!
The capital city is Vitoria and Basque is a language not a dialect .....
What is true is that Bilbao is a major city, larger than Vitoria and more famous.
Hello from the Philippines! Spain is absolutely beautiful. Planning a trip to Spain is stressful as there are so many gorgeous places to choose from. Come back to Spain fellas!
Hey! Thanks for watching! 😂🥰
Wait a second, just for some general knowledge.
A dialect depends from another main language. Euskera is not a dialect but a language. Actually is an isolated language without relation with any other European language. In fact Euskara is a PRE (before of) Indo-European Language. So it's older than Spanish, French or English.
Second lesson. A "tapa" and a "pintxo" only have ONE thing in common: they are both usually taken with a drink. Euskadi is the land a real good food and internationally known cooks. Pintxo is a sampler of authentic cooking/recipes in small portions. So it's not only a bunch of food in a fryer, but elaborated (and some times sophisticated) cuisine.
Third: PLEASE forget all of of your preconceive ideas about the f*cking siestas. That's a thing from the half-south of Spain and NOT everybody have siestas either there. Some business close at noon because we have families and we like to have meals with our families and we like to have time with our loving closest and we like to have a rest during the working shift. SO, wherever you go, do what locals do. I won't pretend to have my dinner at 22:00 in London as I could do in Spain... Get it?
4. I almost die in laugh attack. Sangría in the north? In the Basque Country? My next time in Rome I'll order a haggish... In the Basque Country the usual is Basque Cider (sweeter) and txakoli (cha-co-'lee) (a bit acid and sparkling white wine we take cold). But not only! You can find a lot of wines from the different regions in Spain. Other typical drink in times of festivities is kalimotxo (ka-lee-'mo-cho), wich is a mix of Coke and wine; yes, so refreshing!
Now I let the Galicians to teach you some new thing from their amazing lands.
No creo que éstos dos "turistas tipo" hayan pasado del segundo párrafo de lo que has escrito 😅 Pero gracias por tu tiempo. Personalmente te agradezco!
Technically the capital of Basque Country is Vitoria-Gasteiz, a beautiful city at an hour long distance from Bilbao. But its normally we recognized that Bilbao is the capital in our hearts... Thank you for coming to our country and make such a great video!!
freedom for the basque country
Never knew you travelled there in Bilbao. You know what, Filipinos with Spanish ancestry almost all them came from this region Basque Country or País Vasco.
😊 We also have a kind of sausage named Chorizo De Bilbao 😊
(I am sure you already found out about it, bit....) Bilbao is not the capital of the Basque Country (it is Vitoria-Gasteiz) and the euskera is not a dialect, but a language, probably the oldest language in Europe.
Splendid, spectacular and awesome ❤❤❤❤lovely to 🎉🎉🎉
Basque is also in france
The basque language is the oldest language of Europe, an isolate language that has nothing to do with any other Euopean language as it is PREindoeuropean. As to the sangria stuff... whenever a foreigner orders sangria in a bar in Bilbao we simply get astonished, as it is something absolutely strange to us, nothing to do with our culture. Many bars offer it for tourists, but it is fake to say it´s typical in the Basque Country.
Harriet and I had a fabulous time in Bilbao. Didn't get to La Coruna. We hope to return to the Basque Region soon enough. It's so nice to see Matt trying seafood. I hope you like Fish n' Chips from
the UK. The best in the world. Now Molly, if you can get Matt to eat sardines. He will become a full fledge pescatarian. Great Video Guys as always. We never miss a video. We know where you'll
be next. We won't tell. Thank you for the fun and for the hard work it takes to put out those videos. Sending you much love ❤❤❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
You guys have been everywhere! Not sure if Matt would ever try sardines haha! It’s been a task to get him to eat prawns! Hope you’re all okay! Lots of love xx
now Planning to visit Bilbao & San Sebastián for year end vacation… deciding where to stay… Guess San Sebastián will be more expensive
The capital of the basque country is Vitoria-Gasteiz
Thanks for commenting!
Thank you for this video! Did you actually have euro bills or are credit cards accepted?

This is amazing! I have always wanted to go to Bilbao but had no idea what to expect. Your video is the best I have seen and is inspiring me to go.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Loved it thanks 😊😊😊
Thank you!
Good Evening, Matt and Molly. What a fantastic video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I am absolutely 100% sure, that both your ward robes are bigger than my house. It is nice to know that there are people that like to dress well. Good on you. If I dressed well and went to town with somebody that was my worst half. I couldn't look side ways or turn back. If I did. I would get a funny remark. Like, what has she got that I don't have. One day I just lost it and said your nagging ways. Matt when you sat with Molly on that hill. You should have sung, "Blue Spanish eyes." Recently I have been getting some absurd remarks of my comments. I don't understand why some people have a one track mind. Take care, enjoy yourselves. stay safe, keep smiling, and God Bless. Will look forward to your next video.
Haha! You’re too kind thank you so much! We appreciate you!
Amazing 👍🍺🍺
Bravo
🥰🥰🥰
sail away party,big screen movies,live bands are just few part of my work load when still working as a crew.brings a lot of memories.
Love it. Thanks Paul!
VITORIA BELLA, capital del mundo.
Bilbao is not the capital of País Vasco, it's Vitoria-Gasteiz
Great vlog thank you 👌👌👌🍻🍻
Thank you!
Hey mate, I followed you from some time now and I love your videos specially from south east Asia. I am Basque myself and I have to correct you here Basque isn't a dialect but a language on its own and apparently is one of the oldest laguange in Europe. Ops. Sorry I know you didn't mean offence so I forgive you. You two are so cute and I love watching you. Would love to meet you both when you're in London , i live in London and going to South east Asia in January and taken so much inspiration from your videos. Regards.
Thanks so much for letting us know! Wikipedia isn’t always correct 🫣 have a great time and we appreciate the support!
I'm 7% Basque .
Very enjoyable videos cruis
Glad you like them!
The sangría is with fruit, this is not sangría, is tinto de verano. Only red wine and soda
Thanks for letting us know!
Beautiful city 😊
It really is!
Part of Spain that served good Paella😋take care guys🥰
Thanks for watching Linda!
❤❤❤
We are Morocco and we love you guys
Thanks for watching!
I'm 3% Morroccon.
I am glad to see the sights in Spain because I have not been able to visit certain areas in Spain. So I love this video of Spain because my father is from the Coruna area. The people from that area are called Gallegos and have their own dialect. Due to their Celtic ancestry of Coruna you will see people playing the bag pipe called La Gaita. I love Coruna because they eat a lot of seafood 🤤
Aw that’s great!! Thanks for watching, we loved both! 🥰
Galician is not a dialect! 😄
im so mad, how could you call a tortilla de patatas an omelette??
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Spain looks beautiful, Did you like the drinks in Spain it looks delicious,,,
Thanks for watching! Yes we loved it! 🥰
15:14.. thanks for featuring Spain guys..huh I miss my ancestors there in Madrid ..here in the 🇵🇭 especially Iloilo region you missed it guys..we call it valenciana"paella" a Spanish dish especially basque people influence a lot here in 🇵🇭..they known as the rich people one of them is the business tycoon the "Zobel de Ayala" .. and the popular roman Catholic saint Ignacio de Loyola..founder of religious order the "Jesuits".. that's why basque country is a place with influential people..
Thanks for watching!
Good to see Bilbao again, I flew there several years ago in November, cheap flight from London £44 return, but the weather was rubbish! 🤣La Coruña is the Spanish name for A Coruña in the Galician language. Looks beautiful there. Not many Brits go to that part of Spain, definitely worth exploring.
Ooooo no what a nightmare !!!!!! We really enjoyed it and was lucky with the weather in October!!
Well done, I always thought of the pintxo from the word pincho in Spanish, which means "pinch" . Kinda makes sense, a pinch of something to eat whilst drinking a cold beer or having a Tinto.
That really does make sense!
Hello my Best couple i love spain so beautiful enjoy in
Thanks for watching!
1:44 Paella is pronounced as pie-ayuh
2 ‘L’s togethers are pronounced as a Y in Spanish
A Coruña, Spain📌
Definitely on my next adventure in Europe
End of thought🤔
I plan to visit
Have fun!
Yea
🥰🥰
👍👍👍👍👍👍
🧡😍
I am from Bilbao and I have to point out a lot of things about this video. 1. "spain, spain spain", most of the locals won´t say that they are in Spain. In fact, basque country is the region with the least "spanish feelling" in all the state 2. The flamenco music throughout the video. It´s not typycal from the basque country, neither from Galicia (btw, galicians have amazing local music) 3. Sangria. No one drinks sangria here, I mean I´ve never asked for a sangria. I´d say I have never seen anyone ask for a sangria in Bilbao. Ask for a txakoli man... 4. Pintxos are not our version of tapas, their only thing in common is that both are eaten.
Hope you learnt something.
Okay thanks!
“Dialect” zure ama, ergel.
2 paletos en Bilbao.
Nombre de la película
aside from the place being uniquely different,the food always catches my attention.and speaking of TAPA,that is what I'm having for breakfast.with a combination of eggs and spicy vinegar and freshly brewed coffee.
Thanks for watching, enjoy!
What!?! You forgot your bikini and swimming trunks. So not you. 😂 Cheers and stay safe. ❤️
Right !!! So not us 😂😂😂
It's not a dialect . It's a language ,one of the oldest in the world , and no one knows where it comes from . And the music that you guys put on the video is flamenco !!!. It's no the correct music for Bask Country.
Thanks for correcting us, we just used Spanish music haha 😊
Exactly.
Bilbao is not the capital of Basque Country, Vitoria is. Paella is from Valencia. Euskera (Basque Country language) is not a dialect but one of the oldest languages in Europe.
Sea food is not for me but great videos as always 👍
Me neither (Molly) but got to try everything once! Thanks for watching!
DID YOU KNOW?! We love you
🥰🥰
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'd say that Bilbao was the hilite of the cruise itinerary. The fact that Bilbao has its own Guggenheim speaks volumes of the place. I didn't realize they don't call their tapas as tapas but pinxtos, which is funny but the Galicians are kinda a different breed, and that is literally. Their identity can be traced through their blood. Some Spaniards that have immigrated to the Philippines are Galicians from Bilbao.
Thanks for watching!
@Paseos por Madrid there are also hundred of thousands of Cebuanos in Manila... So Galicians living in Bilbao is also possible, isn't it?
Galicians are not Basque. They have other language and one culture related to Celtic people also.
@@crasusiyoy606 There are Galicians and many people from other places living in Bilbao, who are not Basque. It happens everywhere.
Love you and want to come to you❤
:) xx
My last name originated from here ZEPEDA
Mine did too.❤
Its called a kalimotxo
Just to give you some background on pais vasco, they hunted whales in the st-laurence river in Canada, I'm french Canadien and I find this completely legendary and I wish we can explore and unite as we should fuck
Btw Iceland had a law to kill basque native if they hunted whales in their territory
This is glorious
I m just coming from Tunisian street food
Oh hi 👋🏻 🥰
Great travel video. Thank you! You both are adorable and very trendy and it’s great that you’re taking us along with you on your travels! Just one suggestion. If possible I would like to see more of the places you talk about and, sorry, less of your cute faces. If you could occasionally turn the camera away from you here and there and let us see more of what you’re experiencing that would be great. Thank you!
Thanks so much!! We’ve implemented that into our future videos!
I followed you to Kosovo and now it seems I’m following you to Bilbao. I’m like a delayed stalker!
Hahaha!
La coruna looks beautiful and nice to be away from all the Spanish touristy regions , lovely lovely video thanks guys 👍
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰
Vitoria is the capital of Basque Country and you butchered the most famous “paella”… it’s like calling “fish and chips” - “tilapia and stripped potato” hahahaha… peace
dabble and learn a bit of the language and how to pronounce simple words. No sangria in the Basque Country, drink sidra, txakoli, wine, and kalimotxo.
Spain is better looking than italy big time
They are both nice.❤❤❤😊
