Bilbao

Award-winning and vibrant city in Green Spain.

Bilbao was once a dirty, industrial city, but it has been completely transformed in the last few decades. The old factories and warehouses have been replaced by a dazzling array of modern architecture, including the Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry. The city is now a major tourist destination, and it’s easy to see why. The old quarter is charming, with its narrow streets and traditional Basque houses, and there are plenty of amazing restaurants and bars. The nightlife is lively, and the people are friendly. Bilbao is a city that always surprises, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression.
