5:25 Northern Spain's coast is very close to the mountains that separate the Iberian Plateau from the coast. That's why it rains a lot in Northern Spain, even on summer 11:11 It's named Cadagua 12:00 That's the flyovers of the Bilbao's outer bypass (AP-8 or Supersur), a toll motorway to improve traffic on the freeway that's just next to the city (A-8 or Solución Sur) and its connection to the freeway alongside the Cadagua River 14:10 Video's final score: 9.9

The station is just a lovely monumental work of art, and FEVE is such a cheap and beautiful way to get around Spain. Picturesque vistas are not a miss on any FEVE route. I've travelled on most of northern Spain's FEVE lines, and they are all charming to say the least. Good job!

But if I want to go to Bilbao to later take a bus to visit my family forget it, expensive, slow and almost impossible to book. A few years back there was a night train between Barcelona and Bilbao but RENFE cancelled the train in my opinion inexplicably and the new rail operators would have to purchase Talgo variable gauge trains to run the Barcelona - Bilbao corridor which they probably will not therefore....

Este trayecto es una auténtica antigualla porque no es normal que se tarde casi tres horas en recorrer los 100 km más o menos que hay entre Bilbao y Santander, cuando algunos autobuses de Alsa lo realizan en poco más de una hora y en coche en 45-50 minutos.Por eso,es rarísimo el viajero que llega hasta Bilbao a través de FEVE.Santander más que AVES necesita un nuevo ferrocarril hacia Bilbao que dé un auténtico servicio a Solares, Laredo, Santoña y Castro Urdiales.Da pena esta línea con poquísimos viajeros y estaciones cerradas cuando se viaja muchísimo entre Bilbao y Santander

Since Feve was merged into Renfe, the service quality has gone from bad to worst. The trips are now longer than in the 1950'a due to a complete lack if invesment in the infrastructure. There used to be a train from Oviedo to Hendaye in France (yes, this narrowgauge line crosses the border) that took 13 hours in 1914. In 2024 you still can do the same trip (though now it requires changing train 4 times, after Bilbao is EuskoTren) in the same 13 hours. a 1900's services in the 2000's...if at least we had steam trains that could be funny.

True, but nothing that can be done about it. Maximum speed in the metre gauge network (1000 mm) is 100 km/h; any speed above that would be considered unsafe. For reference, conventional lines using standard gauge (1668 mm) are up to 220 km/h and high speed lines using narrow gauge (1435) up to 350 km/h. Metre gauge simply has its inherent limitations.

Euskara batua. Traditionally there was not a Basque language but many different dialects so that, from valley to valley, they barely could understand eachother. Euskara batua as a unified language dates back from the 1970's. It's an artificial language, a modern invention.

@@robert111k there is always been a basque mother language, euskara, oldest in europe, with several dialects. Batua is as artificial as your own language, the artificially unified german, the artifical spanish of the academia de la lengua or the artificial academic french, as they have all been sort of polished and academised by the ruling elites in their language laboratories from the XVIII onwards, to frame the creation of their respective artificial nation states.

@@sarribel The Basque language is a 50 percent invented language, taking words from Spanish. It is a very minority, its use is reduced to 27 percent of the population. If it weren't for economic interests (which local politicians live on), it is a language that would disappear in a decade or less. It's a stupid political luxury that taxpayers pay for.
