What I Love about Italy & Spain is the simplicity of preparing their food, allowing the natural taste of the food to shine through. In America we overcook, over prepare our food! The freshness of this food makes you feel like you never had true prepared food. Mark, this is what sharing food is really about! In your own words "Wow!!! Can't help but to appreciate you & your show!

Hey Mark, I really love all of your videos but this whole Spain series is definitely your greatest work as of today in my opinion. I actually built my holiday around some of the spots you visited during this trip. Keep up the great work. You really inspire a lot of people. Cheers✌

Gabriella: “San Sebastien is obsessed with raw ingredients and how they prepare them”, spot on! Food seems so simple when you look at it that way...but so few do. Gabriella has been another perfect foil on your Spanish tour - these outstanding people you've worked with across Spain have taken everything to a genuinely jaw-dropping level. I love the format - working with people who are as passionate about food as you - and they simply take you to their favourite food spots - genius. I'm totally loving Merrihue being with you now...I'll feel rather sad the next time he's not by your side in a video! Loving your work, Mark.

As a spaniard, i can confirm: our food is one of the things we are proud of. We live in a country so diverse that is impossible to discover in one life! Come to visit us!

I hate to admit that my knowledge of Spain, its diverse regions, and its amazing cuisine was seriously limited. Mark has opened my eyes to a whole new world through his gastronomic tour of the country! It is now a bucket list destination for me!

Once I see his eyes roll to the back of his head no one can’t tell me that food doesn’t slap 😂😂😂😂

The genius of Mark’s videos is his ability to take deep dives into countries and truly convey his experience. After seeing James Blick here I got hooked on his Vlog just like I how I found Joel’s and JLJ’s vlog. Don’t change anything Mark. Don’t go cable, network or public television…just keep doing what you do!

As a Spaniard looking through the comments, I can only say THANK YOU MARK, a lot of new tourist will discover Spain thanks to you!

Would love to travel the 🌎 and eat food like Mark. His love for food and the culture and stories behind the dishes, absolutely beautiful

Mark, you are the reason I will be putting Spain as a place to visit and eat at after this amazing food tour you have done this far. Every place you have showed us on your tour looks just absolutely amazing and stunning. The ambiance and the energy of these chefs is just outstanding. Also the quality of the ingredients and the recipes they have shared with you is just mouth watering. Spain is now on my bucket list thank you for showing your experience there. I am excited to see what is next!

I don't see why Netflix isn't knocking on Marks door. He's officially ready to have his own Foodie Adventures Show on the big channel.

Spain is amazing! The last few episodes have been the best ever!

Your Spain food tour is my favorite. I will be in there in the next few years. Thanks for this!

Hands down Gabriella is one of, if not, the best tour guide in Mark's channel! She knows everything not just about the food but also the city of San Sebastian!

Spain is so diifferent,so amazing and represent the richness of culture, history and gastronomy

En toda España se come bien pero lo del norte ya es espectacular. Como española, me alegra ver cómo se reconoce tanto nuestra gastronomía. Saludos!!!

I was born and raised in one of the largest Basque populations in California. Basque dinners and festivals were a staple, treat, and experience. San Sebastián is my next European destination. This just makes me so excited to go.

Thank you for helping me with my travel vlogs!! When Mark was born, he didn't cry, he said, '' ho woww" or hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wow Legend has it that one day Mark will eat a meal so good, he will lean all the way out of the frame. I love how this dude is always smiling 😂 it tricks me into being happy for some reason

Spain and all its corners; from the most remote cities and towns they have places full of charm and with products and recipes worthy of heaven! I am glad to see how you show the world the category of our food, they have no comparison for more than travel. Come back and show the world more corners of Spain. Mark, thank you very much for being such a great ambassador of our gastronomy and our country.

Omg my mouth watered with that tortilla. I married a Spaniard ❤️ and he makes the Tortilla de Patata like this. Love Spain food 😋 🇪🇸

Beautiful Spain I love it

I'm having a really tough time at the moment and seeing Marks passion, energy and enthusiasm has honestly made me smile so thank you very much ☺

Mark was totally food drunk after the market 😂 he said, “that was an amazing market to the visit” haha much love ❤️

I am born and raised in San Sebastián and i appreciate the fact that Gabriella toured out of the old town. There are such good places unknown for tourists. She's really a donostiarra.

Mark you are just blowing my mind with these Spain videos !!! Food Network needs to give you a travel for food series for sure!!! Bobby Flay and his daughter has a travel for food series they have nothing on what you would do for @Food Network!!!

I really need a friend that loves seafood as much as I do, so we can both go to San Sebastian to eat all these wonderful foods!

I have been to Spain. The food there is phenomenal. I wish I could go back.

Great Spain 🇪🇸 series bro! but you responsible for my craving food attack every video ! You just a little demon 🤣

they talk about italy, france... but spain is where you eat the best in the world. I have traveled all over Europe and nothing compares to Spain

San Sebastian is gorgeous with awesome food. Once you experience the taste of fresh food from farm or sea to table you will always appreciate the flavor. Basque cheesecake is THE best..imo Another great one Mark..thank you👍👍

Precioso San Sebastian,y su gastronomia es impresionante. Que hambre me entra cuando veo tus videos.

So much meat and seafood. Only a cave dwelling hunter-gatherer could have such an appetite

Fantastic! Book my flight! Thanks, Mark, Jeffrey, Kevin, and Daniella!😋

I've never seen Mark so happy and satisfied with food like that with seafood in this video! It's like 'foodgasm'! Awesome!

Came here our honeymoon a few months ago. IMHO the best food city in the world. Yes the Michelin star restaurants are a plenty and top notch, but it’s these pintxos bars that really leave an impression. Trust me when I say, Mark is underselling how good this place is. Eskerrik kasko!

The giant tortilla is poetry in motion. The black fin tuna behind Mark.

I love it when they let mark see them cook it really shows how nice they are and how good the food is

That was a fantastic Basque food tour.

Mark weins is the best food review guy on the planet hand's down the beast of food

This is Why I want to go to Spain 🇪🇸 if I ever get a Chance One Day ! I was Raised in the Northern Marianas Islands and So There is Great Influence, Food Wise from this Beautiful Country !!! 😍 " La Comida Española es la Bomba !!! 👍 Muchas Gracias Senor Weins !!! My Favorite Episode of this Year !!!

Welcome to Spain, some other time you must come to Galicia to eat marisco, fish, meat... everything in the most beautiful place on earth!

Ever since Anthony Bourdain did an episode in San Sebastian I've wanted to go, but still haven't been there. I hope your tube will finally get me over there the next time I'm in Europe.

This Spain series is a cut above the rest. Excellent stuff

Mark, definitely San Sebastian one of tops food destination and beautiful city in Spain. Basque Country is a megatop in terms of food and chefs worldwide. Thanks and enjoy.

Pintxos and tapas, how easy is for a Spanish person to understand it and yet how difficult to word them to the visitors. The way I explained it in the past was like this: -Pintxos: one or two bites food portion, meant to be for 1 person and you have to pay for them. -Tapas: is not a specific food but a way to eat it. You can order almost anything from a menu, as long as it's portioned and set on the middle of the table to share, it'll be a tapa. Let's differentiate the "free tapa" that many Spanish bars and restaurants offer alongside your drink order (wich you can't generally choose, they'll bring whatever they have that day on the house) from "ir de tapas", which is the thing we actually do: pick a few dishes from a menu and share them all, in a very informal context and can be done standing at the bar or sitting on a table. Some places are specialised in this type of eating, so the food they offer is easy to split by the number of guests at the table. Some common tapas are croquetas, tortilla, calamari, charcuterie boards, etc, because is simple to grab from each plate without messing the table. It's also very common for a group of people to order a few tapas to share as starters and then order the main course individually (in a sitting restaurant). My last lunch at a restaurant: table of 5. The restaurant served us some olives and Galician empanada (free tapa that we call "algo de picar=something to snack on) with the drinks, we ordered some croquetas (we asked how many are they in a portion, and decided how many we needed for everyone to have at least 2 pieces, for example), padron peppers, octopus and a house salad to share as a starter, and then we ordered whatever each of us wanted as a main course. Hope it helps as an example. Another meaning of the word Tapa applies to the size of the portion, as opposed to Ración when written on a menu or chalkboard. Ración is a full size plate of food, a tapa will be a smaller portion of said food. Some places will call the small portion Tapa, some will say "1/2 ración". A ración of croquetas could be 7 pieces, and a tapa 4. A pintxo would be 1 croqueta, usually bigger in size. Sometimes we go for a beer before lunch and order couple of tapas to snack on while drinking and then go home to eat. Another day we go out for dinner and hit couple of taperias for a fun and light supper, or just stay in one place the whole evening for a proper table dinner experience. Tapas is not this one thing we all do the same way in Spain. Some regions are amazing for tapas, others are huge on stews and slow cooking. It's very hard to encapsulate the Spanish gastronomy because it's very local and region based. Whoever visits Spain from North to South, East to West, and the Islands, will agree that we have many cultures and landscapes in a small sized country.

God bless you Mark and your family. Let's Eat!! 😋

San Sebastián changed my life.

Love to see Jeffrey a definite food aficionado

The diversity of plant life, and the diversity of ways to prepare so many ways amazing Mark, we are learning so much from what you are doing

Im so damned jealous! Hope there are a couple of more episodes from España!!!

I stumbled into this town during an international jazz festival in 1992. Oh my goodness it's a wonderful place. Tapas and jazz in July. 💖 Gracias Senor

Mark thinks every dish and every restaurant is nice. He can eat grass outside and have something to compliment about it

What a beautiful city. The food looked amazing as well.

Wow!!! Another amazing what I like to call “break from the rigors of life!” video!!! Your vid’s provide such a great escape and it is appreciated!!! Cheers!!!🍻 also, love seeing Jeffery in your videos!! He’s a great and interesting character who adds exactly that!! “character” to your videos……thank you so much. Be well all!!! ✌️👍✌️👍

San Sebastián one of the best cities in the world for quality food, probably the best city in the world.

Personally me, I love all the videos you do from others I seen from other people you put that charismatic attitude and that joy to the food. Nice.

Nice to see you. Thanks for your best food discovery. Waiting for your next video in Baku, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 🙂😀

Damn my bucket list is just getting longer and longer .... another phenomenal food destination

This is one of the best episode!! Your friends were such a joyful addition!

Best idea ever you touring Spain. So far the best of all. Incredible! In 2019 Spain had 83.7 million tourists. After these videos it will be impossible to book a bed in Spain.

Our visit to Donastia was magical. Visiting Madrid prior was a great primer. Donastia was life changing.

I think I found my retirement spot?

Revisiting this video so I can make a shortlist for my trip next year. Thanks for the review.

I'm from Spain. Actually I'm living now in Bristol, UK. Your videos in Spain gave me big nostalgia about my country. I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks.

Looks delicious to me my mouth is watering right now..

Mark your love for food across the world is such a blessing. Your palette is broad i would like to try it but would be scared to. I love how you widen your eyes and say wow then you point your finger to sign the deal on how great it taste. Thank you for taking us on the tour with you. Love what your doing. Continue to travel for food. God Bless

Spain is amazing! Good luck with the unique dishes and good videos you share🥰

Oh my goodness you make everything look so good! Will have to propose San Sebastian as our 2023 Family trip!

Mr Mark, so happy to see u with so many platters of food that truly amazing! I have eaten Spanish Omelette. But, this is absolutely different!

Mark te felicito por tu ruta por España. Has plasmado muy bien la gastronomía tan variada que tenemos y has disfrutado en los bares igual que un español. 🇪🇸👍

San Sebastian is the best!!! Food is non-to par! best place to go for a foody!

I have eaten so many tortillas throughout my life...My mother made the best tortilla...I stayed watching her every time she made them...So I learned how to make them...I make a pretty good one...Every single person that tried it loved it...Not even one person said they did not like it...It is one of the most simple dishes, yet also one of the tastiest...Thank you once more Mark for bringing home so many memories...This dish for me represents many moments shared with my mother...

What that region of Spain looks amazing!

41:58 What a lovely spot to eat during an evening in Spain. 🥰

I absolutely love spain and your trip really inspired me to visit one day. Greatest work yet!

That first plate was what we call in America a huge omelet 😆

Definitely basque gastronomy is one of the most interesting gastronomic cultures of the planet....😋

San Sebastian is the undisputed food capital of the world. You did this town justice, Mark!

You are the best food vlogger Mark , Being a chef i can clearly see how much you love food , how badly you wants to know about the depth of the cusines . In food vlogging you the GOAT .

Thanks!!! A spaniard! Spain is the best Country in the world because has everything!!!

Awesome video! Make me nostalgic for my 2016 San Sebastian trip 😔

Growing up in PI, my mom served us tortilla almost everyday for breakfast, and this is the only tortilla I know growing up. When we moved to U.S., I was surprised to be serve basically flat bread.

Se come bien en toda España, pero lo de Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria y País Vasco es espectacular.

That's right Gabriella! Just looking at how fresh and how they assemble it on the plate makes you want to keep trying every pinchoix bar. Glad you traveled to Spain Mark as you sampled it was just wonderful food.

Mark I don't think I've ever seen you totally spent from eating!! I think you've met your match in San Sébastien!! Lol...very nice delicious video!! Thank you for sharing!!!🙂🇨🇦

Masha Allah... I enjoy such type of vlog on KZfaq with explanation...I am excited to see what is next! The ambiance and the energy of these chefs is just outstanding. Also the quality of the ingredients and the recipes they have shared with you is just mouth watering . I really love all of your videos from Pakistan. Thanks for this beautiful tour

San sebastian is one of the greatest foodie cities in the world. I've travelled everywhere and it's definitely in my top 3

I'll never be able to erase "mmm wow" from my brain !!!!

what an experience Mark! Love how the Spanish people just mind their business when you are filming

Loved those big prawns and cheesecake. Beautiful video. Thanks for taking us on the tour through your 👀 eyes. 💛🙂👍

Thanks Mark for sharing the delights of Basque gastronomy, this time from the capital San Sebastían (Donostia). Tortillas, tapas, pinchos and seafood...monumental.👍🤟❤
