Wow Molly and Matt you’re at the Spain thank you for your adventures so very beautiful enjoy and always be safe so wonderful adventures 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰👌👌👌

Very enjoyable videos cruis

The sangría is with fruit, this is not sangría, is tinto de verano. Only red wine and soda

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.

The capital of the basque country is Vitoria-Gasteiz

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.

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.

Amazing coastline and food

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.

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!

I followed you to Kosovo and now it seems I’m following you to Bilbao. I’m like a delayed stalker!

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.

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!

6:50 FUN FACT: No spanish has ever drank sangria. As far as i know only tourists drink it

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.

Spain is better looking than italy big time

Bilbao is such a beautiful city with its mixture of the old and the new perfectly complimenting eachother.

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

now Planning to visit Bilbao & San Sebastián for year end vacation… deciding where to stay… Guess San Sebastián will be more expensive
