    Not a fan of modern art I had low expectations of this venue - but - WOW! Prepare to be moved; confused, interested, staggered - everything! Venue is amazing - I took over 100 photos of the outside, the inside and the installations. Go - even if you think you wont like it.

    Fantastic part of Bilbao. A must visit if you are here. Lots to do…the town kept us busy for 3 weeks.

    Lovely square in the traditional Spanish plaza mayor architecture. I didn’t go to any restaurants/ bars but it looked very lively in the evening.

    The market closes on Mondays, guess which day I went? There is a pintxos food hall (for want of another word) on the first floor which I frequented instead. it is on the same tram line as the Guggenheim (just about) and it was still worth the visit!

    Unusual space with a couple of shops. Nice and quiet place to shelter from the crowd. Pillars are amazing and warrant a look. Overhead swimming pool is an interesting twist.
