Bilbao: a city filled with art, history and flavour in Northern Spain

Tourism in Bilbao means: 1. Walking through the Old Town: it’s made up of seven streets filled with bars where people go out for “poteo”. This consists of having zuritos with pintxos: small glasses of beer and slices of bread that come with a variety of toppings. Here you’ll find Santiago Cathedral, San Antón Church, the Ribera Market, the Arenal Gardens and the Arriaga Theatre.2. Crossing the Nervión estuary by the Vizcaya Bridge: this steel and iron transporter bridge which opened in 1893 is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and currently still in use. 

The main areas of interest in Bilbao can be visited on foot or by public transport. If you decide to travel by metro, you’re bound to notice the steel and glass tubes known as “Fosteritos” which provide access to Bilbao’s underground, getting their name from their designer, the famous architect Norman Foster. So, there’s nothing better than putting on a comfortable pair of shoes and get to discovering this city in the north of Spain.
