First Time in SPAIN (Bilbao & La Coruña on a Cruise)

We have finally arrived in Spain!! After all these years we are ticking off this huge bucket list by exploring La Coruna and Bilbao on a cruise.
Check out the Princess Sapphire Cruise we are on: bit.ly/2FFZwL5
Our first port of call in Spain was hopping off at the cute little town of La Coruna where the sleepy village was closed for the day - we went for a walk up to the Tower of Hercules - an ancient roman lighthouse still being used thousands of years later.
Next up we headed to Bilbao where we tried our first Spanish tortilla (Spanish omelette) before heading off to to see Dragonstone from Game of Thrones aka Gaztelugatxe - an islet in the Basque countryside.
We then headed into the town of Bilbao to try some Spanish tapas for heading back onto the ship for some more relaxation.

Welcome to Spain everybody!! Can't believe it has taken us this long to get here! Where else should we explore in this beautiful country?

[@JeanGenie92]

Definitely anywhere the Moors were! Amazing mix of Islamic, Christian and Jewish history. Granada, Cordaba, Seville, Toledo...

[@charlinelechailler5662]

Donostia (san sebastian in spanish) is really a cool place in Basque country wher the pintxos game is strong ;)

[@CristinaAranda1986]

Come to the south! Córdoba, Sevilla, Granada ❤️

[@minerva6950]

Sevilla, Granada, Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid are a must! ☺️☺️

[@marinagonzalezrodriguez5298]

You have to come back to Galiza and visit the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the Costa da Morte (Coast of death), a breathtaking scenery, and then enjoy all the patrimonies of humanity we have like the beaches or other monuments 😍

[@JoseAlvarez-dp8fz]

[@josemanuelrosmunoz5546]

The nord of Spain is very beautiful!!!

[@lonelygirltravels5961]

Spain is probably my favorite European country. For me, the best way to experience it is to pick a city and just stay there for a while. Of course, you can also do some day trips out to nearby cities. I recommend the southern cities. Granada, Sevilla, Córdoba and my favorite is Ronda!

[@tximeleta35]

Visit the north. You,ll be surprised.

[@jambroqc]

Spain is definitely my favorite country in the world. You have not even scratched the surface.

[@flyingthenest]

We have heard so many people say that they love Spain! You will need to let us know where we need to go for when we come back :)

[@gonzokryllake4587]

You should definitely go to Majorca. Great island in the Mediterranean.

[@ikerordorika7151]

Did you really enjoy in Bilbao and Gaztelugatxe (Dragonstone)? Great, that zone in the north of Spain as you called is also known as Basque Country. You should come back when you can, there are lot of wonderful places more tu see

[@rcpeterson56]

You guys have to visit the Andalusia region (Sevilla and Granada) and the Costa Del Sol. amazing region with deep Moorish influences.

[@deerosero]

At last! I've been waiting for these ! What a beautiful country😍

[@flyingthenest]

It's here!!!

[@robert111k]

If you are into art and are keen on having fun, then Madrid. There are also some gorgeous cities (Toledo, Segovia, Cuenca...), magnificent royal palaces (El Escorial, Aranjuez, La Granja... ) and awesome medieval castles (Turégano, Manzanares el Real, Cuéllar...) in the vicinity. But the most important thing is Madrid is a very entertaining and stimulating city.

[@hispablando]

Thank u for this nice video about Spain, a country I love so much.

[@chittosh4982]

My first international trip was in this country and it is breathtaking.Besides Madrid and Barcelona,you guys should visit Sevilla(especially if you are got fans,visit Alcazar palace)such a pretty city with great food great people! You guys inspire me to see the world. Thank you.

I'm so excited you're finally here, guys!! There are so many incredible places, but I'll recommend you the ones I visit the most: Barcelona, the Costa Brava and the south of Spain, Andalucía. There's so much diversity! And by the way, the best place in the world to eat is Spain, so enjoy the food here!

[@flyingthenest]

We NEED to come back here! Still soooo much to see!

You should definitely come back to spain and visit the south. My favourite city is Malaga. Its not super big, but I love it soo much, I actually moved there from Germany last year :D

...oh and Cadiz, amazing old town. From there you can visit CapeTrafalgar, Admiral Nelson and all that! :-))

[@NaughtyPinkBallerina]

Can’t see I have seen a lot of Spain, but the places I have gone I loved! Malaga was a beautiful coastal city with amazing architecture and a really unique castle/fort experience overlooking the city. Barcelona was one of the coolest European cities I have been to and so so much to do including day trips outside the city to a monastery and Salvador Dali museum, etc. and I definitely think you could create so much amazing content here! La Ramblas walking street is right up your alley, Parq Guell, Sagrada Familia, etc. I don’t think I’ve watched any Vloggers explore here yet! And Valencia - the City of Arts and Sciences was a super surprise as it’s literally where they filmed the movie “Tomorrowland” and had the most interesting modern architecture.

You should definitely go back to Spain in the future, especially to Andalucía in the south. Cities like Málaga, Ronda, Granada, Sevilla, and Córdoba are worth visiting. You can also go to the white villages (i.e. los pueblos blancos) when you are in that region. Check out the Antigua Casa de Guardia and the Bodega El Pimpi when you visit Málaga. Have a nice future trip to Spain!

I recommend you go to the Canary Islands (Mostly Tenerife), Madrid, or the Balearic Islands On the Canary Islands you can go to the Teide peak, Spain’s tallest mountain and ride Camels. It has a Moroccan theme to it. On Madrid you can basically do whatever u want On the Balearic islands visit the incredible beaches and nightlife

[@abdullahhakan1]

Spanish citizens were ahead of their times while living in on the shores of Mediterenean and on the Atlantic ocean side. I was astonished when I had visited from Girona city to Huelva those 10 spanish big cities on the Mediterenean and had perceived many spanish very old and historic cities were built out of stones to 7 floors heights and big apartment doors with not wide streets with nice boutiques and shops with restaurants. Very alluring under the hot and sunny weather with bery blue waters of Mediterenean Sea. I had visited and stayed in Girona, Barcelona, Valencia, Murcia, Alicante, Malaga, Marbella, Algeciraz, Cadiz and Huelva in 15 nights then I hopped to Portugal and stayed there 20 nights in Porto, Aveira, Lisbon Liberdade Avenue, Moskovida District as well, Alvor, Albufeira, Lagos , Faro cities. Those 2 countries are my favorites with their very historical sites and buildings with always shiny and warm, hot , humid weathers all year round.

[@katfran492]

Please travel back to Spain and visit more of the Basque Country! Northern Basque Country (I believe) is France and southern is Spain. San Sebastian would be a good city. Also southern Spain...Cadiz, you can ferry to Tangier Morocco & visit Gibraltar. Seville, Valencia and Barcelona. I lived in Rota for a few months and visited Tangier and Gibraltar. I loved Spain 😍

I hope you enjoyed your stay in Spain and may you have more adventures to come.
