    Hands down our stay in the Basque country was the best European trip we ever took.

    Basque country has been on the list for years for the food, it looks amazing! Great video!

      You need to take it off the list! The food here is insanely good :)

      We are right behind Tokyo (#1) in Michelin Star Rated restaurants per capita. You can also enjoy an affordable "menú del día" almost everywhere for 12 to 15€.
      PS: tapas are for free with the drink and they are more like 'easy to cook'-like foods (and fries/peanuts/etc). A pintxo - in Euskara - or pincho - in Spanish - are miniature cuisine bites, more elaborated, to enjoy with your drink and it's paid apart. Let's say tapas are like a gift and pintxos are the main thing, even ahead the wine/txakoli/beer/cider.
      Everybody is welcome to Euskal Herria/Euskadi/País Vasco/ Basque Country!

      Come and visit it. It is nice and you will experience the oldest language and culture of Europe. Although it is a nation divided by an artificial frontier (4 provinces inside the spanish state and 3 inside the french state), the 7 territories keep their traditions alive until now and very proud of doing so

    I like your video. But, it covers only the Spanish side of Basque country which extends into France as well. Cities like Biarritz and large towns such as St Jean-Pied-de-Port. All worthy of mention in the Basque Country. I have been there a few times, and if I won the lottery it would definitely be my place to live.

    • @asiersanz8941
      @asiersanz8941 Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks for your accuracy. As basques we always have to face the denial and make a big effort to explain what our old nation is. And being the oldest people and culture of Europe we have been in this corner of Europe well before Spain or France existed even as geographical notions, but there also are a few people like you who understand our reality. Eskerrik asko!

    From your video, I gather 7 days will be enough to go to, see, feel, and taste the food of Bilbao, San Sebastian, and a few small towns? I have been to Madrid, Seville, Toledo, Granada, Ronda, and Barcelona but I am now planning a trip to Basque Country!

    You missed de 3rd town . The capital, Vitoria- Gasteiz and the Rioja wine country.
    You uses some images of the Rioja but you don’t even noun it.
    So the information is a kind of incomplete.
