Finally, a food guide made by someone who loves food! Forget the guide for tourists, these vlogs are a good guide for Spaniards as well. By the way, to serving young red wine a bit chilly (14/15 C)l we call it in Spain “darle un susto”, meaning to give the wine a “little fright” 😉 Congratulations James, excellent foodie videos.
At home in Amsterdam, recovering from a small burnout while enjoying all your youtube fiestas. As a Spain & Spainfood lover I can’t get enough of this :-) (and getting hungry, yesterday I made some fresh Gazpacho👌🏼) Tnx & keep up the good work!
OK, I've watched quite a few similar reviews. This is far and away the very best. Nice to get away from the old town ... I'd visited Gros in April 2018 and visited 3 of your choices. Going back in April 2019 and will do the other 6 - thanks! Great to see an emphasis on the food with some helpful explanations and mention of the wines also. Beautifully made pintxo video - thank you.
I am glad you have these reruns. I enjoy them remeniscent of my 1971 trip for 6 months with my mom & I FELL IN LOVE WITH SALUSTIANO MARTINEZ IN MADRID. NOW I AM SO SAD I DID NOT STAY...😪 He is wounderful💞😘
Thanks for the video! Going to San sebastian for the first time in a couple weeks, this is getting me excited (and hungry). Will definitely be trying some of these spots
Hi James I am new to your vlogs and love it. Me and my wife will be in Barcelona in September 2019 for a week and looking forward to book a tour . Andrew from Townsville, Australia
Wow what an amazing video! Family and I all drooling here thinking when and how can get get to San Sebastian...simply for the food!! :-)... As always love your passion and love how you dont mind being "messy" on camera! :-) We are off to Spain soon with "una copa de ribera" and now "una copa de rioja crianza" practiced and ready to say once off the plane!!!:-) Muchisimas gracias James &Co.
loved the blood sausage with the egg yolk; but I chuckled when you ate the gilda and cured tuna!! Missed this video when uploaded so was a treat to watch - I try to watch all your videos.... gracias Tony
Excellent content James, the pintxos of the Basque Country are the equivalent of the tapas in other areas of Spain, meanwhile in the RIO DE LA PLATA, they call then bocadillos (basically mouth-sized snacks) probably not as fancy or elaborate as the tapas or pintxos, the bocadillos "etmology" or "naming" I think originates in Galicia? I heard someone mention this, that a Gallego, owner of a "boliche" (or a bar) it was either Uruguay or Argentina, used to cook-up a storm, in the boliche, making snack-sized plates, and not wanting to call them "tapas" or "pintxos", as that would refer back "to the Old Country", he called them "bocadillos" - or in Aussie slang called - "finger foods"
Thanks for another wonderful video. Have visited Spain 9 times since 2003, but this December, we will finally spend a week in Bilbao and Sebastian before heading "home" to Madrid. Gros looks to be just across Puente De Santa Catalina. Looking forward to it.
Fantastic that you're heading to San Sebastian. Yeah, Gros is just over the bridge. Also, stay tuned to our Devour Tours TH-cam channel as we have a few San Sebastian videos coming out there soon too!
Hola!! Soy de San Sebastián. Si vienes otra vez a esta ciudad,tienes que ir a LA MEJILLONERA y pedir unas Patatas Bravas. Un saludo grande desde San Sebastián!!!!
You eating the Gilda on steroids was awesome! I had a great time in San Sebastian, particularly in the Gros neighborhood, so this was fun to watch and reminisce. Thanks, James!
Haha - "awesome". I'm sure there's a few people who were grossed out. But hey - that's part of the fun of eating pintxos. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the comment!
Hey - just came across your vlogs- great, super jealous, we came to San Sebastián a couple of years ago, did the foodie tour which was great - we will definitely try and catch up with you on yours !
I’m going to SS for the first time in a few weeks. Went to Pamplona last year which was much better than I expected. The pintos were great. Looking forward to the Ss versions
It would be amazing to take you on a pintxo crawl to them. What's also wonderful is that if you take babies into busy bars in Spain, you don't get arrested. Win win!
Love that you showed a different pintxo crawl! Added to my future trips 2 Spain! Got to make a tapa crawl of Burgos, Cuenca and Leon! Also, you should explore the Pastelerias for those of us that love sweets. I really miss my Spanish pastries😔
Acabo de descubrir tu canal y me ha gustado mucho! Viendo que eres amante de la buena comida y de la buena bebida deberías ir de visita a Galicia, si vienes a A Coruña me encantarías recomendarte mercados, restaurantes, bares, paseos, etc. Un saludo James!
I also prefer basque cider, it gas a better refreshing punch! I brought a bottle to Madrid after my last stay in late August and early September. I spent many weeks there every year, the Basque country is amazing at the coast and in the interior.
Hi James and Yoli! Other than San Sebastián, do you have any videos of Cantabria and Asturias? We’re going in September and were hoping you had some suggestions for restaurants!
Jajaajja no digo eso, pero oye, tendré que promocionar algo Asturias, que estamos un poco aislados y se debe conocer, pero Euskadi tiene tamtas cosas, comida impresionante, gente increible, paisajes espectaculares, y por supuesto Sidra
@@marinaflorezrodrigo4988 te tengo que preguntar algo por curiosidad. Mi abuela es asturiana y sólo bebe sidra El Gaitero que es dulcísima. En cambio el resto de mi familia son vascos y beben sidra vasca (Isastegi, Zapiain, etc) que es más bien insípida. Así que he crecido creyendo que la sidra asturiana es toda dulzona como la que bebe mi abuela... es así, o estoy equivocado por la influencia de mi querida abuela?
herrmannmunster a ver es verdad que es más dulce porque sabe mucho a manzana, por eso el escanciar desde tan alta altura, y beber el culin de un trago, porque luego sabe más amarga. Aunque hay mucho tipos de sidra la verdad, yo estoy acostumbrada a Trabanco, que es dulce también. Bormalmente es más dulce, pero te puedes encontrar muchos tipos 😊
Hi James, If you want to speak about Tapas you should go to Leon, the best place in Spain to go "de tapas", nominated this year as the best Tapas city in Spain, you will be surpresided and also it is amazing cith to visit. Best
Hey James, I recently found your channel and your videos seem to be very informative with great quality, especially for a channel your size! I will be around Barcelona/Valencia for the first time in a few months, and I was hoping to stop in either Mallorca or Menorca for a few days. Between taking a plane and a ferry, do you have an opinion on which mode of transportation would be more efficient, or which of the two most locals opt for? Thanks!
Hey, to be honest, I think most locals would take the boat. But I'm sure it's a mix. Either way, I think the boat sounds a little more fun than going to an airport and getting on a plane. Though in a few months it could be a little chilly. Either way - I'd opt for the boat. Let me know how it goes. And I'm glad you like the channel. Spread the word - let's make this channel bigger :)
I booked the San Sebastian tour. Really looking forward to Hidalgo 56's Blood Sausage Volcano (either on your tour or on my own). Great video and super helpful.
I mentioned the other day that I lived in San Sebastian. In fact I was over the river (smelly in those days thanks to a paper mill upstream, now closed) in Gros. My students therefore called me a Grosero. (Ask your good lady what that means). I knew some of these bars back then though often they limited themselves to a rather dull menu turistico. Great to see the expansion into Pintxos. Thanks for the insight. Keep up the good work!
Let my compliment you right off the bat on one thing, most folks that host video series involving food have the bad habit of sampling piping hot food fresh out of the kitchen. They invariably wind up honking it back up into their hand or they wave both hands over their mouth as they agonize in pain. You're more sensible and don't commit these types of impulsive errors. I also realize that it's difficult to eat bar food in a polite manner so you've got no choice but to scarf it down like a dog sometimes. I don't mind though, it's how the locals do it anyway , right ?
Muy bueno el canal. Buena descripción de los platos. Sin duda u b a buena guía para quien visite España. ¿Para cuándo una vuelta por el bulevar de la sidra en Oviedo? Os gustará
Love the videos but on future videos do you think you could give us more of sense of where you are. I'm not saying that you need a map all the time but briefly showing where the area is and more of an outside shot of the bar or restaurant and the surrounding area. Thanks
Totally agree. A street name and address listed in 'Show more' section. I really like Jim's sharing the Catalan language. Once I hear the words pronounced I try to phonetically write them and say them. Maybe showing more chalk boards in each bar with the menu and talking a bit about key words to learn.Strangely even seeing a 'receipt' helps to get an idea on how much an evening of bar hopping will cost. Many Thanks Mr. Blick
The Torrija its tipycal from Seville. Its a Holy Week desert. Love you like spanish food! For me its the best in the world. Mexican second place and indian thirth.
Hello James .. I was laughing when you said pintxo because I'm from Peru and the sound of pintxo means "polla" in peruvian spanish slang.. sorry man I couldn't avoid sharing this naughty info.. I love your videos keep up!
Estos videos son una guía imprescindible para "ponerse morado" como Dios manda. Lo del clarete... inexplicable. No sé como hay gente capaz de beber vino rosado.
hi guys, a quick Spanish word question.. as you finish your tortilla & spicy pintxo & leave the bar (6:28) you say "gracias por la tortilla ***** and then the last word which I can't quite pronounce or spell but I hear all the time in Spain in response to when someone else says adios or nos vemos etc.., it sounds like ...agorr. What is that word please ? - it's been driving me crazy...!
Great channel James, will definitely recommend your company to anyone going on holiday who might enjoy a foodie tour! I’m moving to San Sebastian next week to live there for a year, any quick tips for an Englishman with passable Spanish and dire cultural knowledge?
Hi mate! Thanks so much for the offer of mentioning us to those heading to Spain. And that's very exciting that you're moving to San Sebastian! You're going to eat like a king! To get a handle on Spain, I suggest checking out the books in my Amazon recommended reading list here: amzn.to/2ng6ihk - some great books there that will help you figure out this amazing country. And for the language.... that's a tough one. Bit by by. Check out some language learning online , as well as this vid I made with my wife: th-cam.com/video/rsxaek7BDro/w-d-xo.html&t - enjoy your time in Spain!
We never eat tomato from the plate with the hands like you did;we use forks for that. We just hold with our hands pintxos with a base of bread which are easy to hold and eat.
How do you and Yoli stay so slim? I am hoping it's all the walking, which I intend to do when I arrive in Spain next week. I am enjoying ALL your videos...Thank you...

*I ❤️ SPAIN* 🇪🇸

Glad you liked it!
I am glad you have these reruns. I enjoy them remeniscent of my 1971 trip for 6 months with my mom & I FELL IN LOVE WITH SALUSTIANO MARTINEZ IN MADRID. NOW I AM SO SAD I DID NOT STAY...😪
He is wounderful💞😘
So you can taste the sun, hm? All that cider has done its magic. Me gustan mucho tus videos, James. Gracias!
Great vids! Clean editing, no annoying tendency, and awesome description of the foods. Hope u can do more outside of Spain.
Awesome, thanks Dave! Would love to do a little outside Spain, though Spain will always be my focus.
Tienes muy buenos videos! Me alegra que disfrutes de la gastronomía de nuestro país.
Gracias Carlos!
Thanks for the video! Going to San sebastian for the first time in a couple weeks, this is getting me excited (and hungry). Will definitely be trying some of these spots
9 places and 9 drinks...how do you keep a straight face doing these videos at the end?
Excellent video, and I am taking notes.
¡Qué fuerte!, estás en Donostia y empiezas con música de fondo española. Es como un documental sobre Venecia y empiezas con música en japonés.
Perdona, eres tonto? o solo escribes tonterías
Thanks for sharing these bars, we will make the excite crawls when we visit in September! Muchas gracias!❤
Great video!
It's amazing that you speak well about Basque culture at your channel. Go on recording these videos James!
Thank you!
Love the video! Makes me want to go back to San Sebastián... looking forward to doing a tour with you guys in December and keep making these videos!
Thanks for the comment Thao! Can’t wait to have you on tour!
Te has venido arriba comiendo la ensalada de tomate con las manos =)
Totalmente!!!! :)
Loving the channel bro cant wait to go to Spain!!
tu si que sabes vivir la vida
Hi James I am new to your vlogs and love it. Me and my wife will be in Barcelona in September 2019 for a week and looking forward to book a tour . Andrew from Townsville, Australia
Fantastic Andrew. Can’t wait to have you along!!
man! you are super nice! Da la sensación de que eres un gran tipo! Me alegro de que disfrutes tanto!
Wow what an amazing video! Family and I all drooling here thinking when and how can get get to San Sebastian...simply for the food!! :-)... As always love your passion and love how you dont mind being "messy" on camera! :-) We are off to Spain soon with "una copa de ribera" and now "una copa de rioja crianza" practiced and ready to say once off the plane!!!:-) Muchisimas gracias James &Co.
Eating food should be messy! Exciting you're off to Spain soon. Where are you headed?
Yes we are so excited!! Heading to the city of Murcia which we love, have you ever been? Any recommendations:-)?
Awesome! I’m afraid I’ve never been to Murcia so can’t help. I’m sure you’ll have a fab time though!
Thanks James..we'll certainly do our best!!:-)
The red drink is soooooo gorgeous even just to look at! ❤️
loved the blood sausage with the egg yolk; but I chuckled when you ate the gilda and cured tuna!! Missed this video when uploaded so was a treat to watch - I try to watch all your videos....

Te recomiendo que visites las siete calles, están en Bilbao la vieja y, es donde hay mejores pintxos.
Your videos are just wonderful. Fantastic tour ahead of visiting Donastia for the fourth time in October! Garcias
Hola!! Soy de San Sebastián.
Si vienes otra vez a esta ciudad,tienes que ir a LA MEJILLONERA y pedir unas Patatas Bravas.
Un saludo grande desde San Sebastián!!!!

Me ha encantado!! Ir de pintxos como tiene que ser 👏 👏 👏 👏.... Sidra, Txakoli y vino jijiji terminarías el video borracho 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
San Sebastian y sus pintxos son mi meta para cuando podamos viajar a España de nuevo!
THANKS James love your videos 👍🍺
Hey - just came across your vlogs- great, super jealous, we came to San Sebastián a couple of years ago, did the foodie tour which was great - we will definitely try and catch up with you on yours !
Ole tú! I love how elegantly you eat the indurain...
jeje para ti mi amor
I’m going to SS for the first time in a few weeks. Went to Pamplona last year which was much better than I expected. The pintos were great. Looking forward to the Ss versions
Me encanta
Excellent video - dying to go on a pintxo crawl to all of these bars!
It would be amazing to take you on a pintxo crawl to them. What's also wonderful is that if you take babies into busy bars in Spain, you don't get arrested. Win win!
Amazing food and excellent information James.
Thank you Ma!
Bravo James! Thanks.
I think the Indurain might be named after Miguel Indurain the famous cyclist from Pamplona. It looks a bit like a man on a bici.
The best show, with the best food'n'wine! I want to be Spanish!
Jajajajajajajajajaja....😉👍
Acabo de cenar y, me habéis vuelto a abrir de nuevo el apetito hummm.
Thanks, really enjoyed your video and great tips along the way and good sense of humour 😄
Thank you!!
Un vídeo maravilloso, muchas gracias.
Gracias!
Spain Expertise Survey! What's the difference between pintxos and tapas? 😉
El palillo
Pintxos have to be ordered, and you gotta pay for them. Tapas come with the drink, and you don't pay for them👌🏼👏🏼
Jeje si y no
Pero hay tapas por las que tienes que pagar. En Sevilla por ejemplo
In the Basque region they are called pintxos. Everywhere else they are called tapas.
La proxima visita una sidreria, y prueba su txuleton,tortilla de bacalao....y su sidra servuda directamente de la kupela
Love that you showed a different pintxo crawl! Added to my future trips 2 Spain! Got to make a tapa crawl of Burgos, Cuenca and Leon! Also, you should explore the Pastelerias for those of us that love sweets. I really miss my Spanish pastries😔
Thanks for the video! We are in San Sebastian and will definitely visit all your 9 places!
I'm local and I would not visit all of them the same day, you will definitely end up completely drunk. Just take It easy. 3-4 bars are ok for one day.
Bilbao is also very good
Acabo de descubrir tu canal y me ha gustado mucho! Viendo que eres amante de la buena comida y de la buena bebida deberías ir de visita a Galicia, si vienes a A Coruña me encantarías recomendarte mercados, restaurantes, bares, paseos, etc. Un saludo James!

The Gilda looks scary!! San Sebastian looks like my kind of place 😉🍷
It was secret. You totally need to visit!
You know nothing...
Hi James and Yoli! Other than San Sebastián, do you have any videos of Cantabria and Asturias? We’re going in September and were hoping you had some suggestions for restaurants!
Love to try that Volcano, looks good and I love Morcillas
Love your vids man. You portray spanish food and culture very well. Thanks a lot mate
Thank you!!!
Mi canal de cocina española favorito. Para cuándo una ronda de bares y tabernas por Galicia?
Gracias Pio!!! Me encantaría una ronda de bares en Galicia. A ver si encuentro un hueco :)
Spain Revealed - James Blick Santiago no es mal sitio para empezar.
Totalmente de acuerdo. Ese pulpo.....
Please If you want to drink a really good Cider you have to go to Asturias. Here we have Cider, amazing food, mountains, everything.
Parece que estás diciendo que la sidra en Euskadi no es buena 🙈
Jajaajja no digo eso, pero oye, tendré que promocionar algo Asturias, que estamos un poco aislados y se debe conocer, pero Euskadi tiene tamtas cosas, comida impresionante, gente increible, paisajes espectaculares, y por supuesto Sidra
@@marinaflorezrodrigo4988 te tengo que preguntar algo por curiosidad. Mi abuela es asturiana y sólo bebe sidra El Gaitero que es dulcísima.

Así que he crecido creyendo que la sidra asturiana es toda dulzona como la que bebe mi abuela... es así, o estoy equivocado por la influencia de mi querida abuela?
herrmannmunster a ver es verdad que es más dulce porque sabe mucho a manzana, por eso el escanciar desde tan alta altura, y beber el culin de un trago, porque luego sabe más amarga. Aunque hay mucho tipos de sidra la verdad, yo estoy acostumbrada a Trabanco, que es dulce también. Bormalmente es más dulce, pero te puedes encontrar muchos tipos 😊
Marina Florez Rodrigo soy vasco y me gustan ambas dos, la asturiana trabanco esta buenisima, vaya doblada me pego en llanes
Cómo disfrutas comiendo amigo.Que tapas más ricas.España es uno de los países donde mejor se come,sin duda
No es España, no son tapas, las tapas son gratis y comunes, los pintxos son elaborados y caros, a veces alta cocina,
Try Pamplona one day, I love it there
I love your videos, they are so energetic and informative!
On this one though Lauren is texting all the time in the 4. bar Matalauva ;p
James, you've made our trip here...sitting at Hildago as I type
Very good review, Thank for this

Bueno, un poco!
El Txakoli es más peligroso :)
Glad to see your training with knife and fork finally won out!
Haha! Thanks Dad xx
I must say, your videos would be easier to watch if you actually took smaller bites! You might find it easier to talk, as well! 😋
I booked the San Sebastian tour. Really looking forward to Hidalgo 56's Blood Sausage Volcano (either on your tour or on my own). Great video and super helpful.
Absolutely loved this video!
Am Arriving in San Sebastián end of Sept/Oct 2022
Want to book a tour with Devour for sure
metro encanta tus vídeos, a ver si un día nos visitas en canarias :)
You can taste the sun :)), dude you are drunk :))))). I love your video

How is he not completely drunk by the end? :P He must've had like 2 bottles of wine 😂
Pues si vais de pintxos por donostia.preparar una buena cartera de billetes...menudo atraco....eso si buenisimo todo...jejejeje
Muy bueno el canal. Buena descripción de los platos. Sin duda u b a buena guía para quien visite España. ¿Para cuándo una vuelta por el bulevar de la sidra en Oviedo? Os gustará
What a Connaisseur----My Compliments !!!
Love the videos but on future videos do you think you could give us more of sense of where you are. I'm not saying that you need a map all the time but briefly showing where the area is and more of an outside shot of the bar or restaurant and the surrounding area.

Always a pleasure, thankfully I have just eaten.

Induráin was a famous cyclist who won the Tour de France 5 times. He is from Navarra.
I know - Yoly told me!! haha
This is making me really hungry!
hi guys, a quick Spanish word question.. as you finish your tortilla & spicy pintxo & leave the bar (6:28) you say "gracias por la tortilla ***** and then the last word which I can't quite pronounce or spell but I hear all the time in Spain in response to when someone else says adios or nos vemos etc.., it sounds like ...agorr.

"Agur". Basque for "bye".
Only familiar in the Basque Country because is in euskera, not Spanish
Great channel James, will definitely recommend your company to anyone going on holiday who might enjoy a foodie tour! I’m moving to San Sebastian next week to live there for a year, any quick tips for an Englishman with passable Spanish and dire cultural knowledge?

Thanks true! I got excited :)
Don't miss Bilbao in the future!

How do you and Yoli stay so slim? I am hoping it's all the walking, which I intend to do when I arrive in Spain next week. I am enjoying ALL your videos...Thank you...
Walking, anxiety, yoga. :)
San Sebastian (Donosti) is the best small city in the world....a bit too expensive though
The food is amazing!
Thanks from Donostia
Deliciosos manjares estupendo para Las ocaciones en deleite en compartir buenos momentos
Espero que no lo haga todo en una mañana porque si no tiene que llevar una buena cogorza XD
Thanks for showing the prices. Would a series of pinxtos bar stops be considered a lunch???
totally!
yes! 4-5 bars and you actually get pretty full.
I love San Sebastián but I never been there, how do you compare it from the rest of Spain?
