In my opinion, there is a difference between Pinxtos and tapas. Tapas are generally smaller and less elaborate. Tapas are sometimes free with the drink and are designed to fit on top (tapar) a glass. Pintxos aren't free in most places I've been. If you were drinking sidra or xacoli the reason why it wasn't carbonated because you have to have it poured from 1 meter or so and drink it immediately. The aeration is what makes it refreshing and gives the bubbles.

If Ireland would have a child with Spain it would look like Basque Country 😆

It is because Basque Country has a lot of Celtic influence

There was a group of Celts that lived in Spain we now refer to as the Celtiberians. You can see the influence in Galicia, which you can see shares its named with Gaelic.

Basque Country has 7 provinces: 4 under Spain and 3 under France, so our different citizenships don't represent because they don't define as we are, Basque, our soul.

Dari, you scratched off your bucket list with the beautiful sights, cultural significance and food of the Basque Country. A pity if tourists miss it! It has so much to offer and people who only visit central Spain and Barcelona aren’t appreciating everything there is to discover there. Thanks for the video and take care, remain safe and be blessed! 😊

Another well crafted, well paced vlog, Dari! I'm so glad that you tried your hand at street interviews again. I enjoy the local perspective of the regional sites to visit, their history, culture, and food/drink. Hopefully, when you get more comfortable with talking to complete strangers, you will be able to have a larger cross section of interviewees. It will come in time. Practice, practice. 😁 Even though the rock pathways on the Spanish bluffs were shrouded in mist and fog from the sea, it made the place feel more magical and mysterious. Actually, I'm glad you got to experience it this way, Dari. Now you have an excuse to return when the area is more sunny. Bilbao seems nicer because it isn't quite so touristy and busy/crowded, which I don't like as much. I enjoy a slower pace when traveling. If I want a crush of people and the "joy" of waiting in long lines for attractions, I will go to a Disney theme park. LOL! All in all, the coastal towns of the Basque country look amazing! I miss the coast and the ocean so much! You are lucky to be experiencing the world and all that it has to offer.

Oh my goodness seeing you standing in the fog brought back a vivid memory of travelling by car from Carmel California down the Pacific coast highway called “ Big Sur”. That morning thick fog stopped us from seeing farther than a couple hundred feet of road in front of us. Apparently we should have left closer to noon when the fog starts to lift and you can actually SEE the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean and the coastline. Isn’t is frustrating when you have travelled far from home to visit a certain area of the world and bad weather screws up your trip, but you are not able to return the next day for a “re-do”, because you are travelling to a different location. Our family have had absolutely crazy experiences with car rental breakdowns, a big camper breakdown in the Rockies , a ferry strike while on PEI ( Prince Edward Island) in Maritime Canada, bad fog on The Cabot Trail in Cape Breton,Nova Scotia ,Canada, then a car tire catching on fire while travelling The Ring Of Kerry in Ireland. And Cameras breaking, and having no photos or movie clips of a university graduation , or a big World Boy Scout Jamboree in Alberta. Oh my god there were so weird things that happened to our family while on various holidays , so seeing you in the fog made me say right out loud “;Oh NO”, not fog! poor Dasha . I’ve been following you for the last 2 years and see so much growth in your KZread videos. Keep up the great work.

Another awesome video, Dari! I’m really impressed by the way the people of the Bilbao area have transformed their industrial city into a beautiful, vibrant place to live and visit.

Que hay en este video que te recordar a España? El País Vasco es muy diferente a España y no solo por el idioma o la cultura. La propia sociedad es distinta. No voy a decir q sea mejor o peor,pero sí diferente.

The Basque Country looks very interesting and beautiful landscapes. I'd like to visit some day.

Basque country and Bilbao area are really beautiful. It seems that it is definitely worth visiting there for a few days. The street interviews were very interesting, good job. The site of Game of Thrones looked so atmospheric in the fog, actually it looked so similar that way with the scene you showed from the series. Thanks for this interesting video Dari.

Really good to get the opinions of locals about their unique Basque culture. Great stuff. So much to explore here - the symbology on the old architecture looks really amazing and different to most other Euro cities. The street trees give off a kind of gothic effect. Very fitting to have the House of the Dragon filmed within this super ancient culture. Pretty rugged and amazing coastline as well. Thank You for the insights. Yet another major destination I want to explore and live in for a while - I would spend a lot more time than a day in these Basque towns and cities.

You did a great job for impromptu street interviews 👏🏻 and I also really like your direct and honest opinions. If you like something, or don't like it, you're genuine about it! The Basque Country looks amazing: scenic and green! You did a phenomenal job showing it off; it is remarkable how you've shown the uniqueness of Basque and Catalonia...two areas that have often been considered to break away on their own, and yet show how the Spanish culture melds in with it. Really well done, as usual. 👏🏻

It continues to amaze me how many beautiful places and cities there are in the world that many people never hear about. I never knew a city called Bilbao existed. I had to laugh when you tasted that white wine. At times one does not need to use words to describe something; your facial expression tells it all! That sandwich looked scrumptious. Watching you walk along that old wall where the Game of Thrones was filmed was amazing. The drone shots were very nice. Those small towns of Zumaia and Getaria and San Sebastian were charming. Another video well done!

Great video including the street interviews, food and wine tasting 😊 I did travel twice along the northern coast of Spain and may go back there again in summer, when the weather is fine. You should visit Cape Finisterre near La Coruna. It's the western end of the Eurasian continent. The eastern end is opposite Alaska on the Bering Strait 😉 This trip may take some time, but you can do it 😍

Northern Spain looks very nice from what you showed us at least.I live in a semi-arid desert region with 300 days of sun so the rain, fog and greenery would be a nice change for a time at least.

Stumbled onto this video by accident, was exploring TDF Stage 1 Starts in Bilbao and ends in Bilbao. This stage will be strenuous due to the many hills that this region has. So, thanks to the Tour and you Dari I got to see a place I would have missed. Can an American gain citizenship there and retire there with a pension?
