An August 2006 trip to Bilbao by quim_el_otro

Quote: I'm going to explain a travel to Bilbao.

Iruña Cafe

Restaurant

Quote:

Opened in 1903, this cafe is a classic when in Bilbao. I used to go there for a coffee, and enjoy watching the decorated walls (arabesque style, with views of the Alhambra and Andalucia) and the classy atmosphere. It is a nice place to meet at night and start the night here...

They have a wide variety of "pintxos" (basque country tapas) for the before lunch "aperitivos" or you can have a proper meal "a la carte"..

Guggenheim Museum

Attraction

Quote:

Bilbao was a big grey industrial town until the 90s, economical heart of the Basque Country, in northern Spain.

But since the opening of a new Guggenheim Museum by the river, the city has reborn from its ashes, has brightened up and now is a major touristic destination... they call it "Guggy Effect"!!

Cache Latin

Attraction

Quote:

It is something different, and not really Spanish. But it is still fun to go and dance the salsa with some nice Spanish ladies ;-)

We got in dressed just casual, it is just a bar, but maybe on Saturdays you might have to be bit more dressed up.
