BUTRón Castle - BASQUE - SPAIN

Ladies and gentlemen, we are on our way to the Cantabrian Sea. So we are getting out of our normal road and going to get, we're going to get the expressway here, right here, this position, getting the expressway, but in this case we have to pay. Unfortunately, we have to pay. Some areas got it free, but here in our area, in the north of Spain, we have to pay for it. Yeah, this is the ticket. There are other systems, there are other systems, so I take, take a ticket and then when I get out of, on the way to Burgos, on the way to Burgos, Bilbao. Actually, we are going to Bilbao, B-I-L-B-A-O, Bilbao, Logroño. So on the way to Logroño, straight ahead, to be careful. 164 kilometers, it's the distance we have till our destination, my GPS says. Right, so here is Molly. Molly, she's very happy because she loves, she loves traveling. So we're going for another trip and to Bilbao, as I said, B-I-L-B-A-O. It's a quite big city, one of the biggest in Spain, around 1 million people. And, but I think we're going to love more the surrounding because we also are visiting something in the surroundings of Bilbao. I think we're loving more the surroundings than Bilbao itself, but Bilbao has beautiful places and we are going to shopping to show you at least what we consider the best of the city or at least the best we can get. That's it. And she said about shopping, all right, as long as she pays for it. I love this place here, it's like a shrine. Beautiful, what they have over there. Beautiful. Speed controlled by radar. Better behave. It is beautiful, a beautiful place. People are very kind. Food is the best in Spain and among the best in the world in this area. Attention, attention. And the countryside is as beautiful as you can imagine, as you can see. That's why we are here, right? All right, cheers. Ladies and gentlemen, we are in a beautiful place near, well, 19 kilometers from Bilbao in the middle of beautiful nature. That's Molly over there. Molly is already over there. Hi Molly! Well, yes, despite the beautiful countryside, despite the beautiful trees, vegetation, green colors, brown colors, what brings me here, it's something much better than that. It's this. My kingdom. This. Look at Molly. Molly is feeling crazy because this is a surprise for her. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a beautiful castle that was rebuilt on top of a very old one that was from the middle age, but only in the 19th century it was rebuilt to have the shape it has right now. Unfortunately, it's not open, so we cannot go inside, but at least we can have this beautiful picture from the outside. She is beautiful, and there is a thing I have to say. I heard that this castle is... Well, first let me tell you that Kate Middleton had a dream about celebrating her marriage. I think she never did, but that's what they say in a movie they made. They talk about this castle. This is 19 kilometers far from Bilbao city, just near the Cantabrian Sea in the north of Spain. Very easy to reach here, and the important thing I read is that this castle is on sale. Well, in 2014, I think it was 2014 or so, I heard that they were selling it for about nearly five million dollars. That was the minimum price they were asking for between five and ten. Well, they talked about ten million euros, but then they reduced the price for about five million, less than five million euros, maybe about five million dollars, so the price must be around between five and ten. With the condition that the one buying this has to respect some rules, because it's as well an historic monument, even in private hands they have to respect some rules. So, let's see what we can, if I can go around and take different views from the position. That's Molly. I think Molly is trying to go inside. She doesn't know that it's close. There you are. Yeah, yeah. Ah, she's happy, you see. My Filipina, she's so happy. This is Molly there. This is at the other side of the castle. As you can see, it is beautiful. It's another fairy tale castle. It needs a bit of cleaning, really needs a bit of cleaning, but it's fantastic. Look at this. Look at this. Yes. Molly is having a dream. A dream. It's a pity. It's a pity we cannot go inside because it's closed. Wow. Wow. I would like to go up there. If any of you buy this castle, you invite me and Molly, of course, and we go up there. Wow, must be beautiful up there in the middle of this beautiful nature around. You see, isn't this like in a fairy tale place? Yeah. Oh, yes, it is. This is a very good way to finish this 1917. No, 2017. Sorry. 2017. Year is going to be over in a couple of days. And this is our last beautiful trip to the surroundings of Bilbao, with Molly feeling like she is having a dream. Ladies and gentlemen, that's what we have. Beautiful nature around us and a beautiful fairy tale castle. Actually, they took this model, because it was built maybe less than 200 years ago, the rebuilding. A private man, a filthy rich man invested the fortune building this, rebuilding this on top of the old castle. And of course, it has not the normal shape for an Iberian castle, but it has more Bavarian, German castle style from that same time, from the 19th century or so. In Germany is where they built plenty of beautiful castles like this one. But in Spain, with this shape, this is not very normal. And it looks like this because it was built recently, not long ago. And that's why. But it's beautiful. The surroundings are amazing. And all the country around, the Basque country is like this. Amazing, amazing, beautiful. And from here, we're going to take a short visit to the city of Bilbao. That's another corner of the castle. Can you see Molly over there? There is Molly. You'll see Molly there. Hello Molly. From Bilbao. Bilbao, 20 kilometers, 19 kilometers from Bilbao, we have this dreaming monument. Look at this. Just stopped a while to take the extraordinarily beautiful view we have from here. Again, that one is talking, that one is talking to you. Listen what he's saying. And just stopped to catch this beautiful thing. Yeah, look Molly. Molly is feeling like she's in paradise. Is that it, Molly? If any of you have a piece of land here and want to give it to me as a gift, I will accept it with no complaints at all. Wow. Let's go to the city. But those of you living in jungles like New York, look at this, where we are.
