Bilbao
With more than 700 years of history, Bilbao is the economic and financial centre of the Basque Country and its largest urban area.
Without losing its strong identity as a vital town for business and industry , Bilbao has developed in the last years a series of modern architectural and cultural infrastructures such as the Guggenheim Museum that, in combination with other previously existing historical or cultural sites, has put the town in the map of international tourism.
Although the building designed by Frank Gehry has been in the forefront of the redeveloping of the city, we shouldn´t fail to recall other museums, such as the Fine Arts Museum or the Basque Museum among others.
And after a visit to these first-class art galleries, one can immerse in fine architecture and history by taking a walk along the streets of the old town and the 19th century expansion, and of course do not leave to escape the opportunity to taste the internationally famous basque cuisine in one of the renown restaurants that thrive in this area and all over the town.
