Today our destination was Bilbao. Even though it was only 11 km of walking today, we still ended up with over 100 floors of climbing.
We left around sunrise time with cloudy sky and signs of misting which never turned into rain. Much of the walk was through the parks and hilly countryside.
During one of our climbs we ran into Antonio from USA by the way of Madrid (he currently lives in Madrid, and teaches English there).
The guy with him , Michael, is from Italy and is carrying a backpack with wheels (for the times when the path is smooth). (We miss you, Sikander!) (It also has straps for when he needs to carry it).
Our first view of Bilbao.
We came down through a park to the old quarters.
After crossing the river we came to the town center where we deposited our backpacks at a Pension before heading out to explore.
Guggenheim Musesum building is probably the most striking structure in Bilbao. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the structure begs to be admired and photographed from all angles!

Enayet, are you guys planning to spend an extra day in Bilbao? tell me how your visit went. if we make it to spain early enough, we are planning to stop at Burgos, Bilbao & Santander on our way in to meet with you guys.
One day was enough for us to walk around. If you want to go inside the Musesum you could use more time.
Quite a museum – the design and structure sure stands out.
hope the visit inside is as good as the outside it should be spectacular
The wait to buy tickets was about an hour so we skipped the inside and enjoyed the beautiful structure.
An hour just to buy tickets? WOW!!! The structure truly is amazing!!!
Dad and I have both always wanted to see this Guggenheim! How beautiful!
