Bilbao is an industrial city, and most people seem to go there for the Guggenheim. San Sebastian is more attractive. However, the Guggenheim is genuinely impressive, and if you like seafood there are some superb restaurants. Also, the Basques have probably the most interesting cultural history of anywhere in the world. over 6 years agoSee all 13 entries |
