- I visited Bilbao (Basque Country) for a total of 3 days and fell in love with the place! Bilbao has so much more to offer than just the Guggenheim museum so come with me as I show you things to see and do in Bilbao, Spain!
If you watched my last vlog, you'll know that I am on my first ever solo trip (ticked off the bucket list) and I feel like I came to the right place! Bilbao is such a beautiful city and I felt perfectly safe the whole time I was there, so I can highly recommend visiting if you're thinking of traveling here (maybe even solo)..

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.
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 😊
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😊.
@@MillieMoments We know you didn't want to annoy us, lol, but it does feel as if you were visiting Alaska and played some Texas country to go with it.
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
Travelling alone is the most free feeling in the world!! I love it!! Well done girl ❤❤❤
Definitely! Got another solo trip booked for May, only for 5 days but getting myself prepared to do a bigger trip 😊
I was stationed in rota spain for two years I love Bilbao specially the soccer team
Awesome!! I love Bilbao too..
I’m off here on Saturday, my first solo trip!
Awesome! Have a great time ☺️
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.
I absolutely loved Bilbao ❤❤
Hard not to love..such a beautiful city!! Thanks for watching 😊
Bilbao looks a very interesting city - great video, thank you

Great Video!! I'm proud of you for travelling on your own.
Thanks so much Lewis!! 😊🙏
You have definitely inspired me. I am thinking of retiring in Spain and I have been combing through the many videos. They were mostly pretty boring however I was fortunate to come across yours and it gave me a better insight as to what to expect when I’m there. From McAllen Texas my name is Luis and I thank you very much for sharing.
Ahh love this comment, thanks so much!! Nice to meet you Luis ☺️
So beautifully reminds me of. San Francisco, Calif, USA.
Never been, would love to go!
Never been but it looks a great place to visit. 🌷🌷
It really is! You should go 😊
Oh wow Millie this is amazing
It's a beautiful city, had such a nice time! Thanks for watching :)
@@MillieMoments No worries. Keep up the good work with your channel and videos
Love your channel, we have a home in Quesada but it's great to see other parts of Spain , thank you.
Aww really appreciate that, thank you! 😊🙏
No tapas in bilbao only pintxos ..same thing but they hate the comparison .😂😂 .loved bilbao was there for 3 months in barakaldo and portugalete ..wonderful winding roads with tiny bars that end on beaches .. great people who booze even when it's pissing down they stand with an umbrella and a vino tinto in hand 😂 gr8 content ❤
Ahhh that sounds lovely! Hahahaha brilliant 🤣 why not! Thanks for watching ❤️
Great vid! Going there solo next week 😊
Thanks a lot! Awesome! Are you staying at the same hostel? Have a great time 😊
Great vid, guess the difficult bit is getting some I’d the shots. Just an idea and maybe quirky if you are not a football fan, 😢when there is a football ground close by, drop in some pictures and a bit of info.
Thank you! Not really a football fan to be honest, wouldn't have a clue what to say about it 😆
Welcome back 👍 good to see you in orihuela the other week. Mentioned your channel on our live earlier today. Hope you're well. Hope to see you playing soon 😘
Was great to see you guys! Ahhh no way, do you know roughly what time it was on the live, would love to watch 😃 Thanks for that!! See you guys soon 💙
@MillieMoments no idea it was over 2 hours lol...
Looks like plenty to see and do. Hope your blisters didn’t bother you too much 🦶😊
There is, Bilbao is a lovely place to visit! Hahaha you'll see what I did about my blisters in my next vlog 😆💙 Thanks for watching Julie!
Not need to be afraid any more to travel on your own, you see ;-) Everything worked out fine and you show us lovely and interesting information with beautifull videos. Extremely curious what is coming up on your 2nd day, traveling on your own.
I'm still a little nervous for my next trip but definitely more comfortable this time! Can't wait to show you the 2nd day 😊
but what class, what accent, what woman. Bilbao in the background suits you very well. The beauty matches.
Love your channel Cheers
Much appreciated, thank you!
Did you come across local music bar scene in Bilbao?
Unfortunately not, but I didn't really go out looking for it, i'm sure there is some live music somewhere :)
I just moved to Bilbao for work! Any recommendations? Still figuring out what to do here in the weekends, where to go and eat, what to see and... how to approach nordlings as a southling 😅
Awesome! I have 2 vlogs on Bilbao as you have probably seen and both videos have all of my recommendations in 😊 I vlogged everything from my trip so everything I did is all in those videos! I hope you enjoy Bilbao!
Mom, I'm famous! 😂😂😂❤ I loved the video, although I have to improve my English a lot 😅😅
Hahahaha! Your English is great... There's a reason we spoke more English than Spanish, my Spanish is awful 😂😊
For some reason there fruit trees and bushes and flowers that are illegal to order from Midwest seed producers to California, great to see the color.
Hi there
Hey!
VITORIA BELLA, the capital city of the world.
¡Dios mío!, música española con imágenes de Bilbao. Es como hacer un documental sobre Milán con música japonesa.
Para un vasco es muy duro oír que esto, el País Vasco, es España, más allá de que una parte esté dentro del Estado español y otra dentro del Estado francés.
Can understand your English English, must be how most Americans spoke when they arrived
