Bilbao:
Located in the north of Spain, in the Basque Country, this cosmopolitan city has managed to leave behind its more industrial and gray past, to become a benchmark for both national and international tourism thanks to its extensive leisure, cultural and especially gastronomic offer, in which its delicious pintxos stand out.
One of the great protagonists of this change is its iconic Guggenheim Museum, designed by the American Frank O. Gehry, the avant-garde architecture of the building is impressive.
