I´m glad to see how you enjoyed your visit to the market. It is not common for tourists to appreciate the value of having all those fresh products just brought from their place of origin. In Bilbao, we are proud of our central market. Greetings and happy travels

[@hungrytoexplore]

hahaha hopefully I am not a common tourist, if there is good food, I am there. I am glad you enjoyed it :)

I knew that the Basque Country has the best seafood in Spain. And you showcased that beautifully. By the way the North of Spain has extremely good white wines that accompany their food perfectly. I am a wine geek so I would love to see a bit more wines on your show.

[@hungrytoexplore]

yes! the wine there is fantastic. I love wine too, to drink that is. I do not know so much about it, which is why it doesn't feature much. I was thinking of making an episode on Madeira wine

[@twinflowerfioretta]

all food looks super delicious, on a range from 0 to ten i would give 💯 lol ! Bilbao is an awesome city, great video Joe 👍

[@hungrytoexplore]

Yeah it’s got a really nice vibe there actually - I like it a lot

[@honduraswalks]

bro your descriptions of the seafood are great I am so excited to visit that place in dec!!

[@garethpotter]

I love this. Although I’ve never been to Bilbao, it’s very high on my list. Me and a bunch of mates had a monthly supper club we called Txoko and we’d hold it in each others homes every month. Hope you’re well Joe 😊

[@hungrytoexplore]

Bilbao and San Sebastián are a foodies dream that is for sure. Love you had your own monthly supper club and especially with that name

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank you for this video. Wonderful.

[@hungrytoexplore]

Thank you - I am happy that you enjoyed it :)

[@Tom_Porter]

Bilbao is on next year's to do list, along with Valencia, San Sebastian and Tarifa

[@hungrytoexplore]

oh that would be awesome! you will enjoy Bilbao, but San Sebastián is also on my list too

[@Tom_Porter]

@hungrytoexplore yeah it will be a foodie tour for sure. Those croquettes look so good that you were eating, I love the jamon ones

[@ciar67]

​@@Tom_Porter El Albero in L'Eixample, Valencia has pork croquetas with a small shot of apple sauce in the middle, they're incredible. The Oxo tail and mushroom are also superb.

[@vantida]

The food looks really good. If you have to choose between Spanish vs Portuguese food, what will you?

[@hungrytoexplore]

Don't tell anyone... but Spanish

[@vantida]

@@hungrytoexplore haha me too 😂

[@DerWanderer88]

I would go for Spanish too.

[@oskarobit]

'Milhojas' literally means 'thousand leaves' (a leaf upon another) and is known too as 'hojaldre', wich becomes from Latin and meaning almost the same: leafy. This kind of pastry originally French (I think so) is very common to find not only in the Basque Country but also in every corner of Spain. I would call to it 'pantxineta': millefeuille + cream + millefeuille + toasted almonds + icing sugar. Ongi etorri Bilbora! Welcome to Bilbao!

[@hungrytoexplore]

that is interesting, thank you! I love Bilbao, I cannot wait to go back

[@edurvevtx7319]

Basque Country has 7 provinces: 4 under Spain and 3 under France. We are not Spanish neither French, we are stateless nation.

[@hungrytoexplore]

Thats true, I respect that. It’s a wonderful place

[@edurvevtx7319]

@@hungrytoexplore Thanks. You are welcome.

[@emirrqwh]

Do people speak Spanish or Basque in daily life in the Basque country?

[@edurvevtx7319]

@@emirrqwh Well , only 1/3 part of population can speak Basque/Spanish or Basque/French. The other 2/3 part speaks only or French or Spanish, because Basque language is official only in 3 of the 7 provinces. In villages people speak Basque while in the big cities the Basque language is spoken in some places , academic, cultural, places only .

[@auried4631]

The Txokos originally were for men, but nowadays everyone can go and be a partner.

[@hungrytoexplore]

That is true! I am really happy that I got to experience one.

[@gontzallekzeit2050]

Du erwähnst zu oft das Wort "Spanien" ... wie so?, du bist im Baskenland!

[@hungrytoexplore]

Sorry 😅

[@gontzallekzeit2050]

Bilbao ist keine spanische Stadt, sondern eine sehr schöne Stadt des Baskenlandes.

[@hungrytoexplore]

Yes! The Basque Country is wonderful
