I'm a student based in Chicago and I just came home from spending a semester in Deusto. Bilbao captured my heart because the city and the people is a beautiful combination of the Basque tradition and modern-day development and design. So lucky to have called her my home for five months.
Aira Lheiz Aquino hi can you share a bit more ab the Deusto university? I’m considering going there for my exchange too. Thanks a lot!
@@nguyenngan7410 Hi! I'm a student at Deusto and I could describe you some things about the place. First of all there are a lot of exchange students, mostly from the US and other European counties, but also from Japan and other Asian countries. Bilbao is a very nice city, not very big so you can go everywhere on foot really, it's modern, clean and with almost no crime. Furthermore, public transport is great and you have plenty of activities to enjoy your stay like surfing, hiking, kayaking, going out to clubs and bars and more. The campus is not that big, but it's welcoming and the people are usually pretty open.
Wish you all the best!
@@mikelurbin thank you so much Mikelurbin! you helped me a lot :)
@@nguyenngan7410 You're welcome!
Gema Custodio como te gusta el dinero generado por el CAV.
Fun fact: Bilbao is one of the 10 smallest cities in the world having a subway system.
The thing is that the subway system takes you to other town/citys that aren't Bilbao, but Greater Bilbao. Greater Bilbao is the metropoli formed from Bilbao to the sea on both sides of the river, and while Bilbao has 345.000 habitants, Greater Bilbao has 875.000 habitants and is the fifth most populous metropolitan area in Spain.
One of the best subway system in the world, design by Norman Foster.
@ nothing compare with the one in Madrid
@@thalenyanthale1226 946.000* apart from that, perfectly said
@@jalejandromartin7642 la verdad es que es mejor y más nuevo que el de Madrid xd
I recently moved to Bilbao, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Compared to my former city, it's much more vibrant and exciting, but slightly more polluted. Night life is also a positive, there are a lot of options for every taste.
However, the thing that impressed me the most at first is the public transport system, incredibly effective, and it makes the sorrounding areas appear much closer than they really are. Do you want to go for a walk in the mountains? 20 minute trip. Do you want to go to the beach? 20 minute trip.
People are quite nice as well, and, as you said, gastronomy is varied and excellent.
I've been living here for a year, and it hasn't disappointed me even once yet. ❤️
Which city are you from?
Public transport is very good, really. Even taxi is not expensive compared to other European cities.
oh very nice. how do i get to the mountains? or the beach side?
Why pollution pls? It looks quite clean in the video and even better than many Spain cities?
How is the weather ? Hot, cold ?
I spent a year in Bilbao 1973-74. It was industrial, grey, with soot falling from the sky. The River Nervión was a horrible brown colour and very dead! I returned for a couple of days 40 years later and was absolutely amazed at the transformation to a city where people seem to be uppermost. There were new green spaces, beautiful riverside walks, amazing new architecture, an excellent transport system,etc etc. It all seemed to make for a very high quality of life. Would love to go back.
Bilbo!!!! The First Spanish City I visited!!. I need to go back 😙
A G With all my respects, I have to tell you that technically, Bilbao is Spain, if you don’t fell like being spanish but basque it’s ok, but don't disimform other people.
PD: I’m from Bilbao, and I feel spanish.
@@ecg8510Gracias!, yo comprendo porque me corrije A.G pero la verdad es que Euskadi todavia es parte de España y Creo que ambos se beneficial 😀.

You’re not from Bilbao, and with all my respects, you feel spanish because *you are* spanish, not basque, you’re a refugee, an inmigrant.
PD: From a true Bilbotar.

Bilbao is The Basque Country, not Spain...
My family roots are from Bilbao ( I live in the Philippines). 'visited the city and my relatives twice already and in all honesty I was super impressed on both occasions. Agur!
Hello po. I'm a Filipina student based in Chicago who just got home from spending five months studying in Bilbao. Sobrang daming connections ng Basque culture sa kultura natin. Nakakatuwa.
Agur🐾🥀
Mabute ! A number of prominent Philippino families have their roots in the Bilbao region , the Aboitiz , Ayala, Garamendi and many more.
My parents in law live in the centre of Bilbao, not far from the Abando train station. I married my wife in the beautiful renaissance church of San Vicente. It's a city that has been transformed beyond recognition from what it was 30 years ago. I think it's a fantastic city but I've only seen it since its makeover. My wife spent most of her formative years in Bilbao and went to university there and she remembers it when it was dirty and industrial. The estuary was filthy but today it's full of life and you can see the fish. It's been a masterpiece of urban planning that has won many awards. The Guggenheim was a brilliant idea but we also have the bridge, metro and airport which have all won awards. The tram system is good and large parts of the city have been sympathetically pedestrianised.There's also a great deal of public art and sculpture. It's been so successful that other cities have tried to emulate it and bankrupted themselves in the process.
One of the great things about Bilbao is the excellent quality of the shops. The New Town has many top Spanish shops and has a great deal of panache. I love the Old Town (Casco Viejo) which has a delightfully alternative feel. Keep an eye out too for the many beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in the centre of the city. The food, of course, is fantastic and even the menu del dias in Bilbao are the best in Spain. 10 euros will get you a fine meal and a bottle of wine. Some of the less glamorous looking places will still serve great food. The pintxos are great and every Basque city will say theirs are the best. There's an art to a pintxo and it's not going to be free. Besides, tapas isn't free in most of Spain, except for some olives or crisps, etc
Transport in and out of Bilbao is great. Getting a coach to San Sebastian is astonishingly cheap. You can jump on the metro and for a couple of euros go north to the coast to places like Getxo and Plenzia and both places are well worth visiting. There's a history of money in Getxo and that's reflected in the volume of beautiful houses although the oldest part still retains a strong, salty, Basque, maritime flavour. There are some delightful places to eat in Getxo, particularly seafood, but it's not cheap. Plenzia, the last stop on the metro, has a delightful beach and atmospheric old centre.
The one thing you will see on the metro to these places is greater Bilbao, where the city has expanded, and it's not glamorous. There is poverty. There's a lot of money in this region but there are many people that struggle and we must not forget that. This city has a history of struggle and I would recommend visiting the Maritime Museum and the Basque Museum to understand the very hard history of the Bay all the way down to Bilbao. That really puts the modern transformation into perspective. I love the fact that this is a special part of Spain and I love the Basque culture and people. I come from Wales (Gales) so I know what it's like to have a powerful joint neighbour. Great video Stuart. Thanks. WT
Wow, very informative, you should have your own channel on Spain!
@@MoreChannelNoise Thank you, I really appreciate that. I am tempted but all technical stuff puts me off. I'm quite old school really. Stuart knows that I speak my mind and I point out the good and bad things about Spain. The bottom line is that I think it's a wonderful country but there are some issues. Cheers
@@ikerdelpalacio5160 Yes, you speak for yourself
It’s funny you say that there is poverty in grater Bilbao and there are towns with highest incomes per capital than Bilbao
@@ikerdelpalacio5160 I certainly didn't mean to offend Iker. Read my comment again and I think you will agree that I love the Basque region. I come from Wales (Gales) so I'm well aware of how you feel. I reject that I am "utterly offensive" and you really need to learn to accept praise when you see it. Please try to lower the level of hate and think calmly about your response to comments. There's too much of that in the world and I'm sure you don't wish to contribute. WT
My GF is from bilbao. We visit 2x a year. Best city ever. You do not need a car. After work or during you go for a drink. Social life is top notch. Food cheap and alco cheap. Fantastic parks. People friendly. BEAUTIFUL CITY.
Cities in the Basque Country are all amazing! Bilbo, Baiona, Donosti, Iruña and Gasteiz are simply breathtaking!
You're breathtaking
Bayona is in France
Don't worry no bats!
Baiona is in Lapurdi, one of the seven historic counties of the Basque Country. Every day is a learning experience Pedro!

I’m bilbaíno myself and you ought to stay out of what you don’t know.
There’s no historical territories, unless you are referring to the basque lebensraum, and buy into the supremacist theories laid out at the end of XIX by Sabino Arana
I've visited Spain a month ago and it really impressed me, amazing country. Bilbao is also one of the cities i want to visit, so thanks for the video. Liked, subscribed)
I was in Bilbao just two weeks ago. Walking along the Ría was amazing! The architecture of the Guggenheim is a work of art in itself. Postcard views in all directions. Thanks for the video from Arizona, USA!
Thank you so much from Bilbao. Best regards.
Thanks, I Will Go Bilbao...
"The architecture of the Guggenheim is a work of art in itself"....🤦🏿♀️IT IS ART, you philistine!
I'm english but have lived in Southern Spain for 6 years and after visiting Bilbao I'm now planning on heading back up there to live. Such a beautiful city with lovely people, great food and such a calm place. Thanks for the upload!
Seems like you’re slowly travelling back home!😂😂😂😂
Wellcome home 🏡
Hi Billy, I'm Jay. I'm a Pro Musician from lreland... did you move to Bilbao ? What's the live music scene like ? Thanks
Came back home from Bilbao a few days ago. Bilbao is the coziest and nicest place I know! My second home ever since my exchange year there 13 years ago. One should also visit the outskirts of the city, parts like Algorta, Sopelana, Plentzia and Gorliz, which all have beaches too.
Beautiful Bilbao!! 😍 I've been a couple times and Bilbao is so refreshing after coming from visiting Barcelona or Madrid. As always, great video!! 👍
Hey, thanks for sharing a view of Spain in a language I understand... Wow - Spain... I'm impressed & I'm looking forward to another visit... Gracias.
My favorite place on Earth! I was lucky to have spend the best 6 months of my life there and I’ve been dreaming to come back and stay there forever! Thank you for a beautiful and informative video! :)
hello
I like driving into Bilbao from the A8 I think Valencia and drop down past beautiful scenery of trees and Swiss style house, breathe taking
Soy de Bilbao,es una ciudad pequeña y a la vez muy grande en sentimiento.Love Bilbao.In from Bilbao,its a small city and the same time greatin in feeling.Y al comentario de Sevilla,estube de vacaciones y nos trataron como marqueses muy buena jente,que mala jente los ailo en todos lados, y ya no ablemos de Sevilla Ciudad me enamoro...Un saludo Adios,agur....
Y una de las mejores de Europa! En 2018, obtuvo el premio a la "Mejor Ciudad Europea 2018"!!!
Soy venezolano y vivo en Bilbo desde hace 12 años y me fascina Bilbao poque es una ciudad pequeña, con no muchos habitantes pero con mucho swing! Cosmopolita sin ser bulliciosa... cómoda porque todo queda cerca... magnífica comunicación vial... bajísimo índice delictivo... gente amable y amigable... y una gastronomía exquisita! Musicalmente es amplia, con su Getxo Jazz, donde se presentan músicos del primer nivel (en esa calle Ledesma me encontré una vez con el conguero trompetista de jazz latino Jerry González). Su relación músicos-habitantes podría compararla con Viena, Nueva York, La Habana, Londres o Nueva Orleans... Bella ciudad!!!
Nombrado Bilbaino de pro. Ya sabes que los de Bilbao nacemos donde queremos, con amar la ciudad ya se es de Bilbao
@@izaroylujan2684 Jajajaja... Sí, lo sé! Gracias!
Del botxo! Creo que nací en Caracas porque me dió la gana!
You nailed it. Thanks for your accurate description of BILBAO.
No is not the best city in Spain , is the best city in the world
✨ARRIBA BILBAOOOOOOO ✨
Cantidad de niñatos jodiendo el video... Para alguien que habla bien de Bilbao.. lo jodeis.. Ascazo de niñatos
me da verguenza ser vasco. Que verguena ajena..
Albr Martin jajja relájate , no he dicho nada malo del vídeo jajajaja , todo bien en casa??
Dorset Deb in the night you can see a few of them , but there aren’t a lot of , but now in summer the night begins at 21:15 so in the day you can see and enjoy Bolbao
Dorset Deb I really don’t know but it isn’t usually see them because there are a lot of light
Suggestion:
People always visit the city of Bilbao, but you have really nice landscapes going by metro until Sopela's beach or Plentzia and Barrika.
And if a car rental is possible, Armintza and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, are a MUST!
ENJOY!!
Just spent the past semester in Bilbao. It's the true gem of Spain!
Bilbao is so beautiful. Thank you :)
@Dorset Deb I live in getxo, next to bilbao and I haven´t seen a bat in my hole life
Look like you’ve found your new city! And this has a huge number of views... well done! You deserve it!
I am visiting my spanish family close to Bilbao right now. I am from Vienna with the highest standart of living in the world but Bilbao is simply great!
Bilbao is very cheap compared to Vienna. I am from Hungary and I should say that Budapest is more expensive than Bilbao.
Vienna - nice architecture but boring for food. Austrians are friendlier than the Swiss though.
Greetings from Australia
@@evatoth7482 Budapest is on line with cheap southern Spanish cities such as Granada. I’d say Bilbao is a step more expensive.
"with the highest Standart of living". You are ridiculous! Seriously do you think Viena and Austria generally has higher Standart of living than Spain? Please, go back to bed with your dreams
I was 7 years old the first time I visited Bilbao. I had family living there and though my memory of Bilbao back then was limited,I do remember it being a very industrial city. I remember mentioning the stench in the air,little did i know it was the pollution I was smelling. I remember the river being very polluted too,it look very dirty. That was in 1978. Fast forward to 2005,the city to my pleasure had a complete makeover. A lot of the old industries closed down and the city started modernising it’s transport and public infrastructure. The Basques enjoy probably the highest standard of living in Spain. Yes,their train metro was very good considering that Bilbao is not a huge city.
I must say,Bilbao offers some of if not the best food in Spain. Their pintxos are to die for,yes you do pay for them but they are big elaborate works of food art and taste. That wine txakoli isn’t for the faint hearted! and Patxaran is another good after lunch drink.
You have to try Bacalao al pil pil and marmitako de atun too. I remember snacking on these tiny sea snails that you use a pin to get at the meat. Surprisingly tasty 😋.
I lived in a place called Astrabadua for 6 months and worked at Getxo.
Bilbao lies in a valley,it can get very humid and a touch hot in summer. It rains quite a bit but not as much as Galicia. I’ve been told the climate has changed over the years but hey,isn’t that the trend everywhere these days. I know there’s the political situation there(though not as much these days) but I would chose the Basque Country over Catalunya any day.
i first visted bilbao in 1981 after living in navarra for 2 years and it was to my young 20 year old eyes a scarier place than salford where i was born and bred and scruffy compared to navarra which to me was and still is heaven on earth ( like many places in northern spain ) but after visiting again at the tender age of 59 i have seen that Bilbao has transformed itself into a beautiful place to enjoy life
Beautiful reading...
Honestly if I had to, I would live in Bilbao and commute to Madrid. I wouldn't bother with any other city in Spain.
Bilbao es la capital del mundo no se os olvide
Q no te oigan los de Donosti 😂
QUE PESADEZ .. DE DONDE SALEN TANTOS TONTOS?????? QUE TIPO DE PERSONAJES SIN EGO HAY EN BILBAO???
Da igual que lo oigan si de la ría no nos mueven
bilbao es muy muy guapa , pero me quedo con santander
Nada, Logroño
Bilbao is absolutely spectacular. I visited last July and loved it. It’s the kind of city I see myself living in. Being from Sao Paulo Brazil, the weather is very similar. The pinchos are not free but are of great quality.
Trying to boil Spain's best down to one city is kind of a long shot. I've visited Spain about 20 times in my life. I lived in three different cities and got to know the country well. You do such a good job portraying its beauty. Thank you!
Gut, aber wir sprechen jetzt über dem Baskenland, nicht über Spanien.
Kaixo/Hello!
I am from Bilbao/Bilbo and I am glad you and your family had a good time visiting my home town. Great you gave Bilbao a thumbs up, excellent video.
Take care and have fun on your tavels.
I went to Bilbao with my family last year, we all loved it so we’ll be going back in a couple of weeks
I would love to visit Bilbao! The Basque people are so proud and wonderful and the food/culture in unmatched.
Love Bilbao....Spain Is great country to visit... and I was lucky to visit the country in 2016 from North to South by train. Spain is doing a good job in all cities with parks, pedestrian lanes and gardens. Great food and great culture.
Hi, it's my city and I really like how you saw it.
We love having people from all over the world and we are proud of it.
thanks for this nice tour
Good memories from Bilbao. I cycled in on the Camino del Norte. It has the worst off road uphill section and a steep cobblestone section to get into town. I met a local cyclist who joined me all day showing me the sights like the transporter bridge and a little boat museum. He even carried my bike up the steps to the coast path as he told me it was better than the road route.
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers. I liked the video⭐
Sanitago Calatrava also designed the Samuel Beckett and James Joyce bridges in Dublin. Viva Irlanda!!! :)
Menudo desgraciado, anda que hacer un puente resbaladizo en el País Vasco... Y luego pedía una indemnización por ponerle la moqueta a su "gran obra".
Santiago Calatrava hizo desastres también en Valencia. Menudo impresentable.
I'm heading to Bilbao in June next year (COVID permitting) and this video gave me all the info I wanted to know, really well presented and excellent knowledge, well done! Great video
i really enjoyed the outro of your video with all the landscape shots of the city

Wellcome to paradise!
Fantastic city, dont let the rain put you off. From a tourist point of view, buy a bixkaiacard, book online pick up from the airport, unlimited transport and will also act as free entry to most of the attractions, the transporter bridge and furnicular rail included, the veiw from the top is spectacular, theres a lido up there, portugelete is a great old street, i stayed in the old town, apart from bars you can buy almost anything in any ammount, even odd buttons, fantastic place, so much to see. The termibus is a gateway to spain. Basques are my favourite people, next stop san Sebastian eh Stuart?

wow, ive never heard of that before, that must be quite a worry for you. i do like bats myself and im sure id have noticed them if they were there, ive only been once in summer and stayed in the old town, never seen any then and the other times ive been in winter perhaps they hibernate? im sure if you email the ayuntamiento they would tell you. good luck and it would be nice to know.
@Dorset Deb
Did you ever find owt about bats in bilbao? Just as an aside line, ive remembered that valencia has a bat on the city insignia so maybe give that city a wide berth,
@@johnnewton3335 /Bats are cute! Someone I new had a bat hanging from their living room lights. They left the window open at night so he could go out. He would return at dawn!
When you were in Getxo, what you were seeing on the other side of the River was not Bilbao, it was Portugalete and Santurtzi, another 2 cities worth visiting. Portugalete is my hometown,beautiful in every way... The hanging Bridge the most beautiful one, and the medieval part is magical... Santurtzi with its fishing port and loads of history ... Bilbao is beautiful but there are more places worth seeing around the city...

Thank you Stuart (Stewart?) You do such a great job. I always enjoy 'Spain Speaks'. You might just make an expat out of me after all! Cheers.
It was amusing that at 2:31 when he's talking about the cleanliness of the city, a green cleaning (or trash) truck "Bilbaogarbi" just passes by.
And la Ria's poisonous water.
As someone who was born and raised there I liked the video a lot, thanks for shinning a light over Bilbao (which usually gets outshined by other cities in Spain like Madrid, Barcelona or even Donostia or Sevilla).
Llevo 7 años viviendo en Bilbao, me ha brindado tanto, su cultura, su gente, mi trabajo, amigos,... Una vida, y claro está que una ciudad como esta es incomparable porque aparte me ha permitido viajar y la comparación es grande, gracias bilbao y su gente 🤗
Gracias santidad.

Was there for a few days in 2017. Their Semana Grande festival was going on. The festival didn’t have tourists crowds & the food booths were super hospitable.
I love Bilbao, part of my family was from near that city.
I loved the place when I visited.

I lived in Bilbo for almost 7 years. It has the upsides of a large city without the downside of a mega city. It is my favorite place in the world.
So clean and green!

Completely agree with F RL one of the best spanish football teams
bilbao was a lot more fun before the transformation in a turistic city....in the xx century it was full of bars and gigs....a lot of r,n,r places(a lot more than now)...and people were richer ...there was money spending a lot more than now...the true spirit of bilbao was stolen after the transformation....now is another dull city in a globalized world....
This brought back some very happy memories. Such a beautiful city.

La riojanos alaveses nunca han sido gente vasca, fueron castellanos toda la vida...habéis convertido a la Rioja Alavesa en vasca a base de matraca y mentiras nazi-onalistas!!!
@@rsnankivell1962 Lol, basque people used to extend in a bigger area than what is Basque country nowadays.
@@rsnankivell1962 Totalmente cierto. Logroño quedó como Comunidad Autónoma porque al PNV le salía urticaria teniendo a Castilla de Frontera y se inventó la Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja. En cuanto a lo de "La Rioja Alavesa" es un puro cuento de los Nacionalistas, al igual que quieren apropiarse de Cantabria, también territorio castellano.
Hi there!! You missed out Café Iruña, a must visit!! Next block to Ledesma St, in Albia Gardens. Also missing Bilbao views from Artxanda hill balcony, New San Mamés football stadium, almost no pintxos showed on screen... Any way, fantastic video!! Being honest, Bilbao is the center for the Milky-way... :)
A Bilbao guy who appreciated your task very deeply.
Hola: Te has pasado por alto el Café Iruña, imprescindible, en Jardines de Albia. Las vistas desde Artxanda, casi no se ven pintxos en pantalla, San Mamés... aún así, ¡¡video enoooooorme!!
Y sí, Bilbao es el centro de la Vía Láctea.
Un chico de Bilbao que apreció mucho tu video.
I liked your guide tour. I enjoyed it a lot. I am trying to feel out where to move in Spain.
Thanks great video
would love to see a video about how to find quiet villages ...with cheap rent ;-) ...preferably far from Madrid
