Bilbao travel tips
See exhibitions and swim in the pool at Azkuna Zentroa in Bilbao
Azkuna Zentroa (earlier called Alhóndiga Bilbao) was opened in 2010, and until the 1970s, there was a huge wine warehouse. Outwardly, it remains the same, but inside, various exhibitions, movie nights, conferences, etc., are held. The top floor has a swimming pool with glass-panelled floors.
Walk along the wild and beautiful Gorrondache Azkorri beach
Gorrondache-Azkorri beach is taken under state protection. It is a wild one, so there are almost no amenities here. But you can enjoy wonderful views from walking paths and observation platforms.
Cafe Boulevard in Bilbao offers a completely different atmosphere in the morning and evening
If you drop by Cafe Boulevard in the morning and the evening, you will see two completely different cafes. Fresh pastries are served here in the mornings, and in the evenings, you can join incendiary Spanish dances and noisy parties.
