Bilbao travel tips
Look for a scallop shell on the front of St. James Cathedral in Bilbao
The Cathedral of Saint James is the oldest one in Bilbao — it was built in the 14th century. Pay attention to its marvellous Gothic Revival frontispiece and look for scallop shells above the cathedral's main entrance — they’re a symbol of St. James and a reference to the pilgrims.
Buy souvenirs from Bilbao at one of the artisan shops in the old town
For the most original souvenirs, take a stroll through the medieval streets of the old town. Look for artisan shops, private galleries, and workshops as Bilbao is renowned for its contemporary art. Basque ceramics and crystal, leather goods, and original traditional furniture will be wonderful souvenirs from Bilbao.
Basque Fest takes place in Bilbao from late March to early April
Basque Fest takes place in Bilbao in spring. From the end of March, the whole of Bilbao turns into one big stage. Concerts and theatrical performances take place at Plaza Nueva, Azkuna Zentroa, and near the Guggenheim Museum. In addition, there are fairs where you can taste local products and wine. It is one of the best festivals for those who want to know more about Basque traditions.
