- Bilbao is a city in northern Spain, the largest city in the province of Biscay and in the Basque Country as a whole. It is also the largest city proper in northern Spain. Bilbao is the tenth largest city in Spain, with a population of 345,141 as of 2015.
Las Siete Calles or Casco Viejo in Spanish or Zazpikaleak or Alde Zaharra in Basque are different names for the medieval neighbourhood of Bilbao, part of the Ibaiondo district. The names mean Seven Streets or Old Town respectively and it used to be the walled part of the town until the end of the 19th century.
This area is probably the most colorful part of Bilbao, including many shops and taverns, several historical churches (San Antón, Santos Juanes, the Cathedral, San Nicolás), a large food retail market ( Mercado de la Ribera ), the public Arriaga Theatre, the seat of the Academy of the Basque Language (Euskaltzaindia), a ball court, and a public library. It is connected to the rest of the city and conurbation by the subway, tramway and buses. Three public elevators also connect Casco Viejo to the neighbourhoods of Begoña and Solokoetxe, which otherwise demand a rather intense uphill walk.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The museum was inaugurated on 18 October 1997, with an exhibition of 250 contemporary works of art. Built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the Cantabrian Sea. Guggenheim Foundation and features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists. It is one of the largest museums in Spain.

The river that runs through Bilbao, the Nervion seems like the prefect location to practice things like rowing, kayaking,
stand-up paddling, and also dragon-boat racing, it would be almost ironic, magical to see people making a splash in
the Basque Country, any "watercraft" can be kept in some old warehouses near the river.
Bilbao's history begun years before Don Diego López de Haro, a Lord of Biscay, gave to Bilbao the title of Villa IN THE YEAR 1300. So Bilbao existed before the XIV (fourteenth) century.
It's kind of sad see Puppy ( 18:30 ) just in green when he is use to wear flowers in all colors.
Thanks for the video, I hope you enjoyed the visit! Everybody is welcome to Bilbao!
Edit: almost every restaurant offers from M to F a set menu or daily menu (menú del día) consisting in 2 main dishes (you can chose several option in each one), desert (or coffee or tea), bread and drinking. Prices start from 12 € to 16 € wich is great for workers with a limited time for lunch at home or an excuse to date friends.
Mon ville de rêve 😊😊
Beautiful place! So delicious food 😋 Thank you 😊 wonderful walking as always
Another nice video. Thank you boys for bringing the atmosphere of this beautiful city closer.
Thanks, I wish we could travel to Bilbao again to make a more in-depth episode of that old town. Not sure when that's gonna happen.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
can you please mention the name of the restaurants in the video by order of appearance? TIA
NONE of the dishes of that lunch was actually BASQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the history of the city started much earlier ... in 1300 A.D it had already been chartered. This fellow knows nothing about my home town.
It looks like the most boring city in Spain
