Bilbao – Gateway to Basque Culture

Bilbao has transformed from an industrial city to a cultural hub, largely thanks to the Guggenheim Museum, a stunning piece of modern architecture that houses contemporary art. The city’s Old Town (Casco Viejo) offers charming streets, pintxo bars (Basque tapas), and traditional shops. Bilbao’s riverside promenade and modern bridges showcase its mix of old and new. The surrounding Basque Country adds to the experience with mountains, green landscapes, and the nearby Bay of Biscay. Food lovers will appreciate Bilbao’s world-class restaurants, including Michelin-starred establishments. Bilbao is a city that blends tradition with innovation and serves as a gateway to exploring Basque identity. #bilbao #guggenheim #basquecountry #spaintravel
