I know from the guide books there are lists of places to stay in Bilboa...does anyone have a place they would highly recommend? I am thinking this will be my only "rest" day as I want to take in the town. I am not interested in a curfew in this town so I think I will stay away from auberges here.

Can anyone recommend a place they liked a lot?
Thanks in advance,
Neve
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
It's expensive but if you're treating yourself have a look at the Hotel Miró opposite the Guggenheim.
They have a number of different packages which include museum tickets and it's the only hotel I've ever stayed at that served cava at the breakfast buffet.

Well , I have stayed at the Bilbao Jardines Hotel which was fine so I retured again. It is reasonably price , smack in the middle of the old town - friendly reception
- look it up on Tripadvisor.

Susanna and I are walking the Camino Olvidado starting in Bilbao this summer, and we will spend the night at the Pensión de la Fuente, which is very close to the cathedral in the Casco Viejo. I can´t remember who recommended this place, but I´m pretty sure I heard about it on the forum. Very cheap, supposedly clean, 20 E for single, 35 double. Buen camino, Laurie

I thought I had this all figured out, but I have ended up with 2 train tickets from San Sebastian (I don't even know if it's the airport or the town) to Irun, instead of ONE that goes all the way...
