Bilbao and San Sebasatian ?

[Nirish guy]

So currently in Bilbao and a) itsxa loveky city, very chilled, loads of great shopping and bars everywhere plus lots and lots of beautiful olive skinned Spanish / Basque guys everywhere too, only trouble is they’re all so fashionale and perfectly groomed it’s hard to tell the gay ones from the straight ones ! But lovely eye candy everywhere none the less.

Te some of the bars listed above we went to Badulake last night, quite small and basic and nothing that special really, They had some dodgy Spanish drag comedy act going when we arrived which of course we couldn’t understand so that was a bit boring for us. Things started to get busy around 1am and more and more guys were arriving but unfortunately we’d a straight couple with us who then wanted to leave - but I doubt from the vibe there that we were missing all that much later anyway perhaps.

Spent a few hours in Bizitza this afternoon. It’s situated in the heart of the old town and again is small and is nothing overly special as a bar and wasn’t overly gay but did have a small rainbow flag or two up ( inside only) and was being frequented by plently of PLU. We actually sat outside most of the afternoon as most people did, enjoying the sunshine and the streetlife whilst necking several cocktails.

We left to go to La Corrala which is just around the corner but it was closed and again quite small.

Oh aside from the shops etc I should of course have mentioned that Bilbao also houses it’s wonderful Guggenheim Museum Bilbao which I went too as well today ( waste of 13 Euro if you ask me as my problem with modern art is trying to decide who exactly is trying to put on who ! I was about to run my finger over some dust on a shelf whilst there and apparently nearly destroyed an art installation demonstrating mans inability to band time or some shit - as Catherine Tates “Gran” character would say “what a load of old shite” !! :-)

So overall whilst there are plently of gays around abd Grindr is busy etc ( much to my disgust as I’m here with my BF this weekend :-( I would say the overt gay bar scene is quite small here in Bilbao BUT as quite a cool city anyway I’m guessing that’s as you can go anywhere and it feels almost like a gay bar anyway there’s so many hot guys around !

So for a nice weekend break would I come back - absolutely. :-)
