Just came back from Bilbao today, and absolutely loved it, such an amazing culture. I felt like a local after just 3 days! BTW don't go the Guggenheim on Monday, esta cerrado!
Happy Saturday DW Travel.... Spain is on my bucket list...Bilbao shall be the city.. very lovely original designs to be seen... Culture~ Daily Living~ City Cab Driver 🚕 best quide ❤️ Thank you DW Travel
I recommend staying in a Casa Rural just out of town in the hills surrounding. Take the train to Santander or San Sebastián. A great holiday. Fab City.
You'll find so little locals talking for good about Zubizuri bridge. It's probably the worst construction in the entire Basque Country by the despicable 'architect' (that's what he say) Calatrava. Expensive scenery for a picture. And as Bilbao is not only the city center, the number of bridges ascend to 17 (including non pedestrians). One more. Would you say "burgers are the USA version of nachos"? Some comparisons do not make sense. The tapas are free and tasty, but they are not usually of very good quality or with complex elaborations: frozen goods, fried, canned sauces... On the other hand, pintxos are cuisine in small portions: fresh vegetables, fish, meat and seafood, complex or traditional recipes, good presentations (and not always on a piece of bread). Basque cuisine is internationally renowned. Just think of sitting at a table in a good or Michelin-starred restaurant.
For anyone that actually goes there, it’s pronounced “Bil-bow” pronounced how you “bow” in some Asian cultures. Drove me nuts that she kept saying “Bil-ba-oh”.
Bilbao is studied by architects around the world, not only because its modern architecture, but because its traditional and historical buildings, and everybody who comes here say the same : a city for people ,with personality and soul. Basque soul

I think that it is always best to ask the locals to ask for recommendations

Modern architecture. Looks awful and soulless. Thanks for this video. Booked Seville instead for a break.
Also I hate salty food
South is particularly known for salty food - for preservation. Your loss
