Euba Bilbao

Thursday, October 15, 2009<br><br>Bilbao, Spain <br><br>We've traveled for about 18 hours now and will arrive in Bilbao in a matter of minutes. Our trip from Albuquerque to Washington was pretty uneventful and, in fact, because of tremendous tailwinds made it about 30 minutes ahead of schedule. The flight from DC to Munich was pretty uneventful as well (with the exception of about an hour of mild ...

We 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>

... br>With the nice tourist services in the place such as tourist guide, accommodation and transportation is more convenient a tourist-friendly place. Hoteles en Bilbao, restaurantes Bilbao, Bilbao car hire and other tourist services are one of the economic sources of the city. <br><br>Hotel Information<br><br>Hotel Centro Bilbao<br>

The caravan site was very cramped but we had an incredible view from the caravan which was perched on top of a cliff. We walked down to the beach and town. The climb back was very steep and at the top people were para-sailing with motors. We went to stay there so we could visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.<br><br>The Museum ...

... up and got her aboard. <br><br>My grandmother took me in when I was 9 and I lived with her until I was 15. We were very poor while I was living with her. She was receiving disability and I was just a kid so it made for a meager life. To me it seemed like we were doing well since with her I ate every day, I wasn't missing any school days, we weren&#8217;t moving every few months and I actually had more things that I ever had before. She&#8217;s one of my hero&#8217;s and I ...

... the tube to head to camping Soplena. After the blow out in Ibiza we thought we'd keep it cheap and camp. The plan was to spend a few days here, then head to San Sebastien and then into France.<br><br>Camping Sopelana - DONT STAY HERE! Although the beach it is is AMAZING and beautiful, the campsite here is not. It's dirty, dirty, dirty and really ...

... to other European languages. Having had nothing stolen in Latin America, we had a bag taken at the bus station. Luckily it was empty as I had put everything into the locker but couldn't fit the bag itself. Also lucky was as we walked along the pretty river towards the old town, we came across a flea market and managed to buy a similar size bag for three Euros. After walking around the pretty old ...

Hello to all, I don´t really have a major update, but I thought I would post some more facts I am noticing about this place. First, it is considered rude if you don´t have both hands showing at all times when you eat. You can´t put your elbows on the table (well, you shouldn´t), but both hands should be seen. Of course, you must cover your mouth when you yawn...and they do not believe in personal space. Americans have this ...

I looked at the quite spectacular and unique Bizkaia Bridge. I bought a ticket to travel on the bridge then realised I could have used my creditrans ticket. The ride across the river took no more than a minute, probably less than that. Upon arriving on the other side I took a few more photos than spent the best part of an hour wlaking round trying to find Las Arenas metro station. When I did evenutally find it I boarded the metro train to San Mamés.

... to make the evening memorable. The next day, we spent in Bilbao, where the Guggenheim museum designed by Frank Gehry is housed... The city was a lot of fun, and we got to see both the old town (And a REAL huge fishmarket) and the new museum with it´s amazing modern art. Hopefully I´ll post more about it later, but right now I simply want to get to the next stop... oh the next stop is the BEST!
