The city of Bilbao, hemmed in by massive green hills on three sides and a river valley to the north, sprawls itself out across the remaining open spaces in an ungainly and awkward mess. Its 14th-century historic district and more modern commercial centre hug the banks of the Nervion River, while its working class suburbs, the rusting shipbuilding and steel factories, the fish canning plants and assorted relics of its more lucrative industrial past stretch out along the widening river and up into the rugged hills.
Bilbao was great a beautiful place to wander around

If you are Bilbao in early July, take a trip to Pamplona for Running of the Bulls

Wonderful City. Did not find the Guggenheim amazing. I have appreciation for the Masters vs. modern and if I did this trip over again would have gone to the museum with paintings by the Masters. Also the cruise ship was docked too far from town requiring a 40 min drive which I wish they made public in the destination information when selecting the cruise.
