Paseo Campo de Volantin 22 Bilbao, Basque, Spain and Canary Islands, 48007, 34-94-4456000
It´s hard to wrap my head around the fact that I´m so many miles away from home, and so quickly. I feel a bit like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, like I can tap my heels three times and transport myself back home..... Anyway, here we are in Bilbao, Spain, in Basque Country. I didn´t really know what that meant until I got here....the Basques have their own flag and language, and there are no Spanish flags in sight! Our journey here was pretty uneventful. Travelling in a squishy airplane seat is...

Having disembarked the Pride of Bilbao, following our two day mini-cruise (the highlights of which were DVD horse races, bingo, Geordies on the lash and two memorable dining experiences at Langans Brasserie), we faced the delights of industrial Bilbao, which proved to be a fitting introduction to North Spain. Undaunted we headed to ...
Bilbao, Basque, Spain and Canary Islands lymandannabelle... pincho that Paul had and a (believe it or not) anchovy/cod concoction on bread that I had. I’ve really been venturing out on the fish thing this trip. I even had cod for lunch!!<br><br>Tomorrow we leave Bilbao for a hotel a bit in from the coast into the Picos de Europa, a beautiful, mountainous area. We should be in by late afternoon. Look for photos of the coast and the mountains next. <br><br>Cheers!
Bilbao, Basque, Spain and Canary Islands sinfronterasWe drove from Madrid, got a bit lost trying to find Lurdea. We thought it is a name of a village but it is not it is just the name of the Hotel/Casa Rural.<br><br>The place is amazing. Located in the hills above Bermeo, with magnificent view of the ocean. It is clean (like really clean) and has the air of a relaxing boutique hotel.<br>

Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain antoniusestrill... The weather has now improved, today was warm and sunny and this a great way to walk off the food ! You see many other aspects of the redevelopment of Bilbao (the Ria 2000 project) including attractive bridges, and Euskalduna Palace cultural centre all redeveloped from the docks. The Maritime museum itself is worth a visit, I particularly liked "Blues" the temporary exhibition of underwater photography.<br><br>

Bilbao, Basque, Spain and Canary Islands antoniusestrill... somewhere you want to stay. True is relatively near the tube into the city (a cab ride of about £5) but it's not worth it. We left and didn't pay for the night we stayed there (I'm not sorry).<br><br>We also came to the conclusion that we needed a car so hired one to drive us to San Seb. Spent a another day in Bilbao seeing the obvious Guggenheim.
Bilbao, Basque, Spain and Canary Islands justtin... autonomously of one another and had lots of freedom from the Diocese. Chris hails from the Carmelite friary, tracing their roots to one of the original friaries ... located on Mt. Carmel in Israel. Also lending reason for the CA trip Chris is making this August. He will visit the city of Carmel, CA to attend a special service at the mission there. Anyhow, I could write for pages and pages of all that Chris educated us on. From his life at a friary to their relationship to the Diocese to ...
Bilbao, Spain styrsky... the next post. I don't have time today. Oh, I also can't forget. I ran out of money today and the ATM will not accept my PIN. YES!!! Anyway, I am going to have to swipe my card inside a bank and get money tomorrow, but that was really annoying today. We then hung out with a few friends and went to bed. Today we had our first day of classes. It was more fun that I expected. We are not in a normal class ...
