"el Botxo"

Bilbao is a little city in the north of Spain. It also is the largest city of the Basque Country and it´s kown as "El Botxo"(the hole), because it is surronded by some mountains. It´s populated by 353,168 inhabitats, who are spread along the length of the Nervion River, that flows into the sea in Zorrozaurre in the Abra´s estuary,wich was built by Ricardo Bastida.

In my opinion, Bilbao´s infrastucture and transportation is excellent because there´s a big diversity and it is very well comunicated. The underground has worked for around 15 years and it´s still as clean as it was the day of his openning, so that he has won some important prizes. Besides, the bus lines are very good, because Bilbao has two different types of buses depending where are you going to: Bilbobus or Bizkaibus. Although its airport isn´t in the middle of Bilbao and it isn´t very big, it is one of the most modern airports in the world: it similar to a dove, that´s why its name is "the dove".

On the other hand, Bilbao´s gastronomy is very famous. My favorite food is "bacalao al pil-pil" and it consist of a cod in green sauce. I like mushrooms too, because they are an special part of our mountains like Pagasarri and Artxanda.





Finally, I would like to speak about Bilbao´s sports teams that they are both of them in the spanish first divisions (LFP and ACB, two of the most important leagues in Europe)and they also play in European leagues (Europe League and Eurocup).
