I’m actualky surprised there’s not more tourists here actually and can’t think why that is other than they all just flock to Barcelona as it’s better known but I should say that Bilbao is almost every bit as good as BCN ( maybe not for gay bars as I went back to Badulake tonight and it was closed !) but certainly for a nice weekend away this place and the surrounding area ticks a lot of boxes and one thing I DO like about it is it’s very genuinely Spanish ( Basque) and almost no one speaks English and as I struggle to get understood it’s nice as it reminds me that I AM on holiday :-)
