[QUOTE="Joe Macky, post: 1071721, member: 84261"] One more pilgrim opinion on this: I was in Bilbao this June on a del Norte/Primitivo camino. My plan was to get close to Bilbao the previous day, have most of the next day and the morning of the following one to put my tourist hat on, with special focus on the Guggenheim. I stayed at Lezama, one of the close options, and was in the Bilbao old town by 10 the following morning. Spent 4 hours at the G and that was barely enough. There is so much to see on the outside, and I also loved the wildly sinuous internal architecture. Each to her/his own of course. The dizzying experience of walking through the Richard Serra installation was weird and fun. But there’s so much more to Bilbao and it felt I’d done a regular Camino day’s walking when I finally called time on my wandering late in the afternoon. The food was good too. The next morning the combination of a little light misty rain and itchy feet was irresistable and I started back on the trail. Went down the east side of the river and quite enjoyed it. Almost all paved, nicely integrated with the river in some places, but it’s not that long, and evidence of earlier maritime ativity is interesting if you’re that way inclined. I too recommend the colgante hanging bridge at Portugalete. From there took the more coastal alternative (got a bit lost on that leg but would still recommend it) to beautiful La Arena, and with a queue at the Pobena albergue, walked on to Onton, which we didn’t regret. Bilbao didn’t disappoint. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Buen camino! [/QUOTE]
