Basque Country | SPAIN Travel Guide

Join us on our travel adventures around Spain! We drive from the city of Santander to the beautiful Basque Country of Northern Spain!

Before truly entering the Basque Country, we took a short detour to the city of Burgos. Burgos is most famous for the impressive French Gothic Cathedral of St. Mary, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Burgos is filled with impressive street art, culture, food and, of course, the historic Castle of Burgos.

After our trip to Burgos, we officially enter the Basque Country with a visit to the de facto capital city, Bilbao. Bilbao is a city like no other, with its unique atmosphere, amazing street art, and the famous Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. One of the main highlights in Bilbao (and across all of the Basque Country) are the traditional delicacies, pinxtos!

After our time in Bilbao, we continue our drive across the northern coastline of the Basque Country with a visit to the town of Zumaia. Here, we take in some of the most amazing views we've seen in Spain, including a walk through the The Basque Coast UNESCO Geopark. An experience that was definitely worth it!

We finished our time in this section of our trip with a visit to the city of San Sebastian (also known as Donostia in Basque). The city is known for its two beaches, Playa de la Concha and Playa de Ondarreta, which are framed by the lovely beach front promenade. We also walked to the top of Urgull hill for panoramic views of San Sebastian. A great way to end our time here in the Basque Country!

I stumbled upon your channel when prepping for a trip to the Basque country. Your videos are much more appealing to me than so many others that are prepared by many younger-than-me folks. You present good information, good subtitles, and you pronounce the language reasonably well. Although we're not able to do your level of hiking, I like the alternatives you present for driving and seeing sights. You speak very clearly and closed captioning can keep up with you. You don't use the word "like" before every statement. Plus, so many travel features are made about the personalities of the narrators. It is tiring and boring to watch image after image of a cute and clever gal or guy showing how much they are in love with themselves and their video. So don't go there! Keep up the good travel videos, Luke and Tyler.

BILBAO is calling and I want to visit the unique geology nearby. THANK YOU 😊

[globetrails]

Video's awesome! Plenty of info, great footage and you essentially covered a part of Spain that's so unique and special. Subbed to the channel and I'm looking forward to your future videos!

I will be spending 8 days in Bilbao at the end of April - beginning of May. I am planning to stay 1 night in San Sebastian. My question for you guys is: Should I devote extra days for San Sebastian instead?
Thank you kindly.

by annnny chance... did you come across a town or place or anything named; Varney or varne?

[jplanghoor-beitia]

Fyi, Bilbao is not the de facto capital of Euskadi… We have an official one : Vitoria-Gasteiz Wheeler the Parliament, the Governement and the official residence of the President (Lehendakari) are…
So, really strange to hear what you said about Bilbao and strange to visit our country (we are a country, yes) whithout visiting the capital…

[gontzallekzeit]

Immer das gleiche Gesichte, Bilbao liegt im Baskenland, nicht in Spanien.
