Today on the YouTube channel, I’m sharing my first cooking video!
I attempted to make axoa, a traditional stew from Iparralde, the Northern Basque Country, AKA the French Basque Country. I rarely cook meat, so this was a little bit of a struggle for me, but the result was delicious! Watch me attempt this Basque dish in today’s video.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m continuing a series of videos on the different provinces of the Basque Country. This latest video is about Nafarroa, one of the most controversial provinces of the Basque Country. While some see Nafarroa as the ultimate Basque province, as the remnant of the medieval kingdom of Navarre, others see it as a purely Spanish community. I discuss some of the nuances of this Basque vs. Spanish debate when it comes to Nafarroa in this video.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m continuing a series of videos on the different provinces of the Basque Country. This latest video is about Bizkaia, one of the most well-known and visited parts of the Basque Country. I talk about some of the cool things Bizkaia is known for and my personal experiences in visiting the province.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m continuing a series of videos on the different provinces of the Basque Country. This latest video is about Gipuzkoa, one of the most well-known and visited parts of the Basque Country.

It’s official! 1 year ago this week I started posting videos on YouTube about the Basque Country and Basque culture. I started off the Hella Basque YouTube channel with much anxiety, but after a year of posting videos once a week I’m feeling much more comfortable on this platform. Dare I even say I prefer it to blogging?
To mark this milestone, I created a video telling you all about how Hella Basque got its start, from a small blog in 2013 to an eventual YouTube channel. I talk about what inspired me to go down this road of promoting Basque culture online, the challenges I’ve faced, and what I hope to accomplish with this project.
