Bilbao ("the hole") (Iñigo)

Bilbao is the capital of Biscay,and the largest city in the Basque Country. This city it´s situated in the north of Spain.The founder of Bilbao was Don Diego Lopez De Haro in 1300.








Bilbao has a particularly name (the hole) because it´s surrounded by a lot of mountains. It has an Old Town, there you can find a lot of typical shops.We have a good selection of hotel,from 3 stars to 5 stars.

Bilbao has a lot of universities,but the most important is the university of Deusto, there you can learn; Law, Philosophy, Education, Business , Theology, Politics and Sociology, Engineering.












You can travel to Bilbao by plane and boat, because it has got both a really modern airport and a huge port. In Bilbao there's also an award-winning underground and you go use it to travel through the city and visit a lot of exciting places, like Doña Casilda park, big department stores like "El Corte Ingles" which is on the main street, the Gran Via and the Guggenheim. This museum is the best known not only in the Basque Country but in the whole of Spain.

If you want to experience a great atmosphere then on most Sundays Bilbao there is a party because Athletic club, its team, plays football. Historically it has been one of the most important football teams in Spain. All of the players of this team are Basque.

One year the Formula World Series came to Bilbao, it was impressive, all of the city was transform into a circuit.

There are a lot of restaurants which serve Basque food,you can eat "bakalao al pil pil"and "txuleton". From my point of view the best food ever!!!

Finally I would like you to come to Bilbao it´s a great city.
