Sleeping by Bilbao Old Town
Our hotel was in the Old Town (Casco Viejo), perfectly situated for the all important eating and drinking. A fair share of Pintxo bars - but not near San Sebastian. Walking or taking the modern tram is easy. Note: in July it gets HOT... taking the tram is a lovely choice.
The Farewell dinner is both happy and sad. Memories made and final good-byes. Not everyone will be at breakfast in the morning when the tour is officially over, so for some it will be Farewell.... And still Keep on Traveling.
First look and a visit to the
Bilbao Guggenheim
Number One draw is the Guggenheim Bilbao, which is hidden by trees up along the river in the first photo.
Bilbao is a big city. As one wanders throughout it, it feels like a place of transformation. There is a blend of old industrial with new glass and shiny metal structures. The gleaming curves of the Frank Gehry built museum is an adpt symbol for this city.
