What to see in Bilbao
Bilbao is not only the most populated city in the Basque Country, but it is also its main economic and industrial engine and one of its most visited points. The Guggenheim Museum, designed by architect Frank Gehry, has become one of the emblems of the Biscayan city, along with Puppy, a 12-metre dog made of flowers at the entrance to the museum. Gastronomy is also one of the strong points of Bilbao, where in addition to pintxos, dishes made with sea ingredients such as cod in pil-pil, Biscayan style or hake in green sauce stand out. Bilbao is a very recommendable city to visit that in the last few years has undergone a great change and has gone from being a merely industrial city to being a modern and avant-garde city.
