Local Attractions
Bilbao has the famous Guggenheim museum, which did put the city on the map. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The city is worth a visit: it has made a 180 turn in the last 20 years, going from an industrial city to a vibrant & clean one, including shopping, a fun night life with plenty of restaurants and high quality tapas bar. The Vizcaya area is known for it's Txuleton (T-bone steack) and wines (try the white Txacoli - local, and the next door region Rioja). See food is also a must, having the ocean near by. Also to be seen and close by is the Vizcaya Bridge (Puente Colgante), in Portugalete. It is the world's oldest transporter bridge and was built in 1893, designed by Alberto Palacio, one of Gustave Eiffel's disciples. It's not a suspension bridge, although close. It's was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. The Basque area has more than 200km coast line & is one of the European Mecca of surfing.
