  1. Zo te zien is de A15 nog niet helemaal gemoderniseerd? Aangezien je nog steeds met bochten om de bergen heen gaat. En dus niet recht vooruit door de bergen heen.

  2. I was just about to ask, "Is the second song Satriani's?" 🙂

    Before you embark on your trip, how did you do your research on which highways to drive on? I am wondering how difficult it is to choose among so many highways from all these different countries.

  3. Beautiful highway with great scenery! With all of the roads in Europe, what is your favorite country and where do you live? Keep up the great work and I look forward to more great videos. Thank you!

  4. As a general rule, if the road is AP (AP-68, for example) it’s a toll-road, meaning that you pay to drive on it. If it’s only A (A-15, for example), you don’t pay, yet the quality and standards of the road are the same as in the roads where you pay. If it starts with N (N-135) it’s free, but generally it’s only one lane in each direction, it is not protected against animals (with fences around the road) and the road quality is could be worse.

  5. Didn't see any litter, dumped waste bags on the hard shoulder, weeds growing out of the cracking tarmac, never-ending roadworks, lane closures, traffic jams, gantry signs stating FOG danger in the summertime, temporary speed limits…. a totally different world in mainland Europe.

  6. What is the first song? That song in the Description Joe satriani is a Rocksong at least not the right one. Please help! Thank you so much!

  7. 6:39 As a frequent user of this road, the quality and maintenance of it improves quite noticeably when you cross the border to Gipuzkoa in the Basque autonomous community.
    Both Navarre and the Basque community have full authority over their roads (unlike in most spanish regions where the state is the owner), but the Basques clearly do a better job in keeping their infrastructure, and I say this as a Navarrese… 🙁

  8. The Spanish and mainland Europe are well ahead of other poorer badly managed countries in terms of transport infrastructure. Quality roads and railways. Here we see a well maintained road, not jammed with traffic, roadworks, speed cameras, unlimited roadside dumping of rubbish and plastic bottles, speed restrictions etc. Clearly the Europeans know how important transport infrastructure is for the public and for business. Some countries find it difficult to find the funding to build high speed railways or find the skilled workforce and to make it worse, there's the green lobby. They live on houses built on ancient woodlands and use roads regularly which too were built on ancient woodlands but today they don't want any further transport infrastructure to be built. Cycling is heavily recommend…what, for a 100 km commute each way to work?? So we have countries that can and those that can't.
