I'm Mikel, a 15 year old boy from the Basque Country, and I'm very proud of my country. I also thank you for giving me the opportunity of remembering my country's history. It's the first channel from youtube that introduces the Basque Country's beauty to the world and I'm very grateful. Thank you! Great videos and beautiful content! Zorionak!
I hope too
Great post, Mikel! I'm a proud Basque too. #Amerikanuak
Weirdly enough my hometown (Elko, Nevada) has a huge Basque connection. We have a Basque Festival every year and a few amazing Basque restaurants. It's random, but I do love hearing more about the Basque people's origins. I knew a lot of people in Elko with Basque ancestry.
Elko is a basque name. Probable the name of the founder.
Well, if there's people of Basque ancestry, then it's not that "random" or "weird" is it? Even YOU could be of Basque origin...
in the new spain (now mexico) in many parts of the country most in the New Vizcaya (now Chihuahua, Durango and other states) the first basques lived in that area even the flag of chihuahua is similar to euskadi flag
My mother was full Basque. Born in Nevada,she left with her parents and siblings to Espana (Spain), where she learned the language . Then she returned to the USA in 1934 .
Always great to see someone from Elko on the wild! Hello from Donosti!
I lived 2 months in San Sebastian to learn Spanish, and i absolutely love your travel videos of the basque region!
As a Basque citizen really apreciate you guys making videos aobut it.
+Ibai Alberdi Eskerrik asko Ibai
Djura no its not. basque know spanish and they dont have any problem in speaking it
how can you be a basque citizen if its not a country?
@@danielfragoso7283 Igual que se puede ser un capullo sin pretenderlo....ESPAÑOLISTO
@@landerviguera9575 haber enseñame el pasaporte vasco y te creo
I live in the Basque Country in San Sebastian and this video makes me so happy! You give an amazing point of view of these lands to people who don't know anything about it and that's great! Can't wait to watch the next videos... Thank you!
I've only heard of Basque a few times in History Class but I've never read anything, much less watch anything about the Basque Country. What a great way to get introduced to an unknown place! great job as always.
I am Basque. I would love to visit someday. I want to experience where my ancestors are from.
Ituarte , we write here
My ancestry is Basque. It would be neat to get together with a small group and travel to experience the Basque country and culture.
@@tximeleta35 what?
@@tarawiselove me too!!!
My parents were Basque farmers . the videos of the Basque Country are perfects, we are as naturals as the stones where we live for the last 40,000 years. We live in harmony with the natural world and we love our old Euskera (Basque language). We are the last aborigines in Europe.
Dude your content is so well done, seriously seems like a whole travel channel production team was behind it. Keep up the great work fellas!
Instablaster...
I dont usually comment, i usually just silently enjoy these videos, but this one was extraordinary. Fantastic job! Love the editing and the epic scenery, and also the perfect amount of local history! Amazing!
Es hermoso! el País Vasco es donde están mis raíces, desde alí vinieron mis antepasados hasta Uruguay, espero poder ir algún día :)
el correcto es país Basco o Vasco?
@@viniciust.s6884 Lo correcto es Euskal Herria, o Euskadi, o Euzkadi, o Pais Vasco, o Basque Country, o Pays Basque.
Wow what a breathtaking country. Just added it to my bucket list for sure. Thanks for the amazing tour guys!
Recently discovered Basque DNA & am fascinated. Thank you so much for sharing this journey!!
thank you for your inspirering channel. We'll be travelling to the basques next sunday with almost 40 young students from the netherland. We'll be staying in Bilbao but explore the provence for a whole week! Can't wait for us to go, bye and thanks a lot!
Wow!!! This looks so amazing! Ten years ago I did a DNA test through National Geographic and learned that my ancestors came from the Basque region and ever since I've been so interested and entranced by this region. Hopefully I'll be visiting in the next year or so and looking forward to immersing myself in the culture and history of my ancestry.
Loooove your videos!! I love the way you entertain the viewers as well as tell interesting facts about the places.
I'm from Donostia and I feel honored that you like Euskal Herria and that you are making this series.
The Basque Country is really one of my favourite places in the world, this video makes me want to go back!
Your videos are always so informative! I love hearing about the place... Most people don't give the history and info associated with travel destinations! Thanks!
Excellent! Just discovered you guys, am moving to the Basque Country in a few months, having never been! You're getting me excited!!
Guys! I'm so happy I discovered your channel. I was just watching one of Eddie G's videos where you were collaborating at the TH-cam space. I decided to check you guys out and what's the first video I see? This amazing blog of my beloved Euskal Herria! My parents immigrated from Valle de Baztan in Navarra, and most of my family is still there. You guys do a wonderful job of keeping your videos entertaining, while also still managing to educate. You have this Basque girl's enthusiastic approval! Zorionak and I can't wait to see more!
+Arantxa Arriada So great! Glad to have you on our channel. Eddie G is the man! Tell him we say hi!
Son buenísimos Arantxa!! Este último vídeo me ha parecido espectacular, con todas esas tomas aéreas y la información que han dado... Disfrutarás muchos más vídeos, seguro! :) Un beso desde Alemania!
Aupa Euskal Herria!! I love this vlog, I was born in San Sebastian and I love the basque culture. It's incredible that you get to show people beautiful places that aren't that famous in the world... Keep doing this 😉
Aupa Vagabrothers! I discovered your blog thanks to Txaro and the good ole Gobierno Vasco. Just like you guys, I am from California and I also spent time as an auxiliar de conversación. I recently returned to the U.S. after being there for almost two years without returning home... It is so crazy to believe I left on May 31st of this year, 2016... I made so many wonderful friends and I have so many beautiful memories that will stick with me forever. La oportunidad de vivir allí fue una experiencia inolvidable. I have yet to see the rest of the videos in this series, but it has been such a pleasure watching this first one. It is like taking me back in time and I am able to revisit the places that I have seen in person (i.e. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Gernika, Getaria, Donostia, Astigarraga, the area by the Salto del Nervión, etc.). I myself lived in Durango and Urkiola used to be my stomping grounds. Did you guys ever make it to Amboto? Hah, and pintxos saved me from hunger many a time. Anyway, thanks for giving me the chance to float away a little. I am now working full time and things are very different. Bueno... Eskerrik asko lagunak! I wish you well on your travels. Ondo pasa!
My Father was Basque but passed away when I was little. No contact with his Basque family. All I have of him is the Rh- and the last name “Irureta” I hope to go visit one day 🥰
Long time since I was one of the first to watch your vids, haha! So nice to see a place so special to you guys!
Great work! I feel like I learnt a lot in this video; it was informative but also not boring lol. Actually I knew nothing about Basque country or even heard of it lol. Looks like a good amount of time has been spent editing. It's good to see you guys really put the hard work and go the extra mile, the hard work will pay off!
Many places here in the Philippines were named after places in the Basque Country because apparently many conquistadors were from small villages in the Basque Country.
Yes man. The conqueror of the Philippines was Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, from Zumarraga (one small town from Basque Country)
My Grandmother was an Ugalde from Basque.
Very interesting i did not know that, and I'm Filipino and basque because my great grandparents moved to the USA during ww2 and happened to somehow meet lol
Love it ! Finally someone talks about my roots ! And shoes everyone how beautiful is it !
Beautiful shots of an amazing part of the world. Looking forward to Part 2.
Interesting story about the basque country I did not know. Btw it's so fun to see your channel grow and I want to congratulate you guys with over 100k subs! Keep inspire and stay curious. Production value on this channel is so amazing.
I'm going to the Basque area of France on Thursday, can't wait!
You should visit Hondarribia, is next to France.
Welcome to the Basque Country!
Check out Espelette. It is close to Biarritz. :)
how was it?
+vagabrothers soso good, we travelled into San Sebastián for a day aswell which we all loved. Food was amaze, we will be returning :)
traveling isnt feasable for me right now but I love to see all things raveled thru the Vega brothers eyes and thanks for posting and sharing such great videos
Absolutely stunning place! Love the way you guys captured it!
+Linda Gonzalez gracias Linda!!
Aupa ahí txabales. Me alegro un montón de que hayáis vuelto, pero sobre todo de que deis a conocer Euskal Herria al mundo, además con la visión que teneis de ella, que es muy similar a la que tenemos los propios vascos.
Un gran saludo y un abrazo desde Bizkaia, espero que hayais disfrutado de cada rincón y de cada persona que hayáis conocido.
This was a pretty awesome travel vlog! Keep up the amazing work and loved learning about the Basque country!
~ Love from Australia dudes ~
absolutely in love with your channel! Quality videos and content! an example for all other travel vloggers
This was the video report on travel to Basque I was looking for; thank you
Travel Channel has got some competition. Great footage and writing and editing. Well done. I can't figure out how you travel with all that gear but I'm jealous.
You guys are great, fabulous video, funny to watch and very informative at the same time!
Love to give Vagabrothers a thumbs up even before the video starts playing - let's be honest we all know the video is going to be awesome!
I am Basque & I loved the video great job !!!
You guys make me fall in love over and over again with my beautiful hometown ❤
After 9-5 repetitive and boring work hours, going home then watching your video is the ultimate relaxation, dreaming some day I could travel like you guys. Incredible video as always! Keep inspiring.
You guys have done it! Planning a trip to the Basque country in 2018. (And you have also inspired me to actually leave a comment instead of just a 'thumbs up.')
great vlog guys!! your expalinations are quite good and most of the shots are amazing. keep on doing this type of content.
Can`t wait to see my surrounding villages in Gipuzkoa!!
Love this video hope to see more of this style and hope you guys come to Istanbul, love to show you around this amaizng city and country
It was a great video again! :) I had so much fun.
Your video quality, video materials, informations and all the stuffs reached the professional level. Like BBC format. I think they must be published on Tv.
I went from there 4 years ago. Sure I love Basque country
Your guys' shots with the drone are getting so amazing!
The quality of your videos is just amazing guys!
+Egis Svedas thanks Egis!
vagabrothers did you learn Spanish in school before you moved to Spain?
@@lolafiiona7014 You would learned a little euskera (basque language). Probably the oldest alive language in Europe.
Great video guys, beautifully capturing the awesome Basque Country. I first came to know about Basque from cycling. Now seeing they have this amazing and unique culture, would love to visit as well cycle around here
So inspiring how you're always thriving to improve!
Me encantan sus videos! espero que más gente los conozca y vea los geniales lugares que nos muestran. Cariños
Wow ! You guys make one of the best travel vlogs !!Awesome content
Eskerrik asko Vagabrothers! I left part of my heart in Euskal Herria when I first went there 5 years ago to visit our Basque families we got connected with hosting students through a summer English student exchange program (Summer in the USA). I had the privilege to dine in homes and sociedades surrounded by the amazing people, culture, and of course, FOOD (and cannot forget the superb wine and sagardoa! Txin txin!). Your videos make that heartache so real for me as you have done an excellent job capturing the heart and soul of this beautiful place and makes me long for the day I can return.
Eskerrik asko 🙏🏼
AMAZING!,Great Granddad was from here, will definitely go to the basque country in the future.
Great job! Wow! Thanks for taking us on this very nice, intimate and knowledgeable tour! I felt like I was really hanging out there with you guys, minus the wine tasting bit. :D
Fantastic video! You've beautifully integrated drone footage into the body.
I did read about that country but this video makes me want to go there.
Awesome guys 👍
Love it
+Alex French Guy Cooking cheers brother!!! Hopefully catch you in Paris this summer
You guys are inspiration for us! You're so underrated!

Excellent Video! Great editing. Thanks!
This video is so gorgeous that I have to fan myself whilst watching. BRB, fainting.

Amazing! I'd love to visit there someday. For now I will long for your next episode! :)
yeess! such a good video about pur little country ! Proud basque girl
:)
Very interesting - we've wanted to know more about the Basque culture for a while now! Isn't it incredible how history can just get lost like that?
Well, we know our history, no lost all ! ,;)
Great work guys
I liked that you guys showed a little bit more goofing off in this vid. Or maybe its been in all of em and i barely noticed it more in this one haha. Nice work!
More goofing off coming up :)
+vagabrothers YESSS
The video helped me learn more about the country, which I've never heard of. It was a DNA ancestry results that came back for my daughter. It showed Spain, Portugal, and Puerto Rico as the highest then Basque, Sweden, France, Whales, Scotland, and so on. She said mom, I'm a mixed mutt. 🤣🤣🤦♀️. I guess it's why I have a beautiful family. Thanks to my ancestors. 😁 Great video and you guys were funny. 👍👏
Really enjoyed this video!
Aye!! Me ENCANTA el vino tempranillo Y cuando Alex y Marko estan BORRACHO!! #vegadrunk 😜But seriously, I love all the history you gave about the Basques. I never knew any of that. Wonderful amigos!! 😘🍷
Thank you for show casing my culture
That place is like soo awsome.

I have to live with basque people, its hard but i love the experience....... every sunny day i have to go to and discover a different place here.... hope one day i will have a channel as awesome as yours. kisses and hugs from a Mexican lady at basque country.
¡Me encanta el canal! Creo que todavía no han visitado las Islas Canarias, podrían ir por las siete islas y hacer un vídeo en cada una. Son todas maravillosas, por eso se las conoce como "Las Afortunadas".
Love the video!
I get into the video and the first place I see is Zumaia! I live there!
Just really good film making... Love you guys!!!

What a beautiful incredible place! That is amazing guys!
Is that Guernica the same from the Picasso's painting?
Yes, it is.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernica
Yes, of course. The city was bombed from the air by the nazis under the orders of the dictator Franco as an experiment for World War too, bacaude of the symbollic relevance fot the Basque Country, and Picasso made the painting to remember that horrible episode that was known thanks to George Steer the correspondent of The Times in Bilbao during those times.
Yes it is. Bombed by nazis under the order of the dictator Franco. And today in Spain a "Foundation of Francisco Franco" (the dictator) survives and "it is legal". And it gets money from spanish government. Is that democracy?
