    1. Basque is a language, not a dialect. 2. Bilbao is not the capital city of Basque Country, but Vitoria. 3. Pintxos and tapas are totally different things. 4. The ones that drink sangria in Spain are mostly tourists.

      Madre mía es terrible comparar la calidad gastronómica y de elaboración que lleva un pintxo con los restos con los que se hacen las tapas! 😂 No se puede esperar mucho de este tipo de turistas promedio. Repletos de tópicos y estereotipos. 😅

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Good Evening, Matt and Molly. What a fantastic video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I am absolutely 100% sure, that both your ward robes are bigger than my house. It is nice to know that there are people that like to dress well. Good on you. If I dressed well and went to town with somebody that was my worst half. I couldn't look side ways or turn back. If I did. I would get a funny remark. Like, what has she got that I don't have. One day I just lost it and said your nagging ways. Matt when you sat with Molly on that hill. You should have sung, "Blue Spanish eyes." Recently I have been getting some absurd remarks of my comments. I don't understand why some people have a one track mind. Take care, enjoy yourselves. stay safe, keep smiling, and God Bless. Will look forward to your next video.

I love Coruna because they eat a lot of seafood 🤤

    I'd say that Bilbao was the hilite of the cruise itinerary. The fact that Bilbao has its own Guggenheim speaks volumes of the place. I didn't realize they don't call their tapas as tapas but pinxtos, which is funny but the Galicians are kinda a different breed, and that is literally. Their identity can be traced through their blood. Some Spaniards that have immigrated to the Philippines are Galicians from Bilbao.
