Bilbao, Spain, Spain

Bilbao, Spain Spain

Bilbao is the capital of Biscay in the Basque Country, in northern Spain. The city is situated on the banks of the Nervión, a tidal river. Until the 1990s, Bilbao was a large, gray industrial town, serving as the economic heart of the Basque Country. However, since the opening of a new Guggenheim Museum by the river, the city has transformed into an artistic and stylish destination and is now a major tourist attraction. The main draw that put Bilbao on the map was the construction of the Guggenheim Museum by Frank Gehry, which is now one of Spain’s most visited attractions. The building is impressive, and there are some very interesting sculptures outside the museum and in the atrium. Centered on the Plaza Nueva, a busy and colorful square, and the Santiago Cathedral, the old quarter of Bilbao is quite compact, and a walk around its streets doesn't take long. The impressive church of San Nicolas, built in 1743 in honor of the sailors from Bilbao, stands at the entrance to the Casco Viejo. Located in the very heart of Bilbao's old center, the cathedral of Bilbao is the oldest church in the city and the main Gothic construction in Biscay. Vibrant and exciting, Bilbao is famous for its great food, culture, and active nightlife.
