    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!

    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.

    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!

    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
