Hey, Spaniard here who formerly lived in the Basque Country. Great video (I especially liked the joke about being unemployed vs on strike). However, it is wrong that Basque street signs are in Basque and English and not Spanish. They are by law always bilingual in Basque and Spanish. I could see some minor signs being only in Basque, but not in English over Spanish.

Yes, I know Spain's general unemployment rate is sky high but it's specially high among people younger than 25 years. I haven't read recent statistics but some years ago it was something like only 2 in 5 had a job. I reckon most have jobs, but paid under the counter.

Being from nearby Pamplona, I need to say that the signs like the one in 3:51 aren't in Basque and English, but in Basque and Spanish (as Pamplona and San Sebastián are the spanish names of those cities). In fact, most public signs have to be in both languages by law. Besides, you will not see pretty much any signs in English in that area. It's still a fantastic video though, keep it up :)

The signs are not in Basque and English. They're mostly in Basque, and normally the names of the cities are in both languages, but not English. Amazing video as always tho, I live just very close to Irun and the border is one of my favourite places because most signs in the border don't say Spain and France they say Gipuzkoa (spanish side) and Lapurdi (french side) which are the Basque provinces so it feels more like switching provinces but with people that speak a weirder-french-sounding Basque and French.

@ifacro
@ifacro 5 лет назад
If you look up most European wars, they are often fought on two or more fronts because every country is allied or feuding with some other they don't border. In WWI, Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia but Serbia was allied with France so Germany tried to invade France through Belgium but the UK was allied with Belgium so they declared war on Germany and Russia was allied with the UK so they declared war on Germany as well but the Ottoman Empire were enemies with Russia so they allied with Germany and killed all the Armenians(?) so the UK tried invading Turkey but failed so they used itheir Arab colonies to fight them instead but ultimately the arabs wanted independence so the UK used the Indians. Meanwhile Italy was allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary but betrayed them because they sought to seize Trentino from Austria-Hungary but they got their ass kicked, and Romania tried to grab a bite of Serbia but got destroyed as well.

Hello, I am from the area (and lived in Hendaye for many years) and really like this video. Just want to point out one small error you may want to fix. Road signs in the Basque country are not in English and Basque with Spanish left out. Officially they have to be in Basque and Spanish, and what the separatists do all the time is to cross out the Spanish part. Some private signs put up by people in their shops or houses may be in English and Basque only, to signal their loath for Spain, but it's not very common. Thanks.

3:50 a bit incorrect. In the image at this point the name of the places are both in Basque, as Iruña and Donostia, and Spanish, Pamplona and San Sebastian respectively. It turns out that the Basque Country in Spain has a bit of a different set of rules regarding some legal topics but, that being said and taking into consideration that I live in one of the other regions that has a local language and how things work here, traffic signals must have at least their content in Spanish. They may as well have it in both languages, but they cannot have it only in the regional language. It may happen that the name of the village you drive through might be only in the regional language, that depends on several factors, one being when was the last time someone cared to change the sign, but as for main cities and, generally speaking, information panels and stuff, they have to be, at least, in Spanish.
