Bilbao was the end point of our tour. And we enjoyed it there. The visit to the museum and the surroundings of the building was a great experience. 

Nice was also the Mercado de la Ribera, the large covered fresh market, where we ate pintxos with a glass of cold white wine. 

In the Casco Viejo, the old city district, we enjoyed a Menu del Dia.

You could see the Guggenheim Museum as the icon of Bilbao. The building has been standing on the Nervion river since 1997. The building is spectacular and has given Bilbao a vibrant image. The design is by Frank Gehri and cannot be compared to any building.
The use of titanium was new. It is beautiful in the ever-changing light and that together with the shapes give the building an idea of ​​waves.
Louise Bourgeois’ giant spider stands on the square along the river. By Anish Kapoor there is the ‘Tall Tree & The Eye’: reflective spheres stacked on top of each other.
