Bilbao, where I was born

by Carmela71 - last update: Jun 11, 2003

Well a long time along I was born there, and it has changed a lot, do not miss this place if you come to Spain, and remember that Bilbao is more than the Guggenheim musseum! Well since they ahve this museum, Bilabo is more touristic than before, but still mroe things to do, specially gastronomical ones lol

This photos are from my last visit to Bilbao on October. On my travelogue there is a resume of Bilbao on the old times, before my parents knew eachother! And some photos of me being a little child!

I left Bilbao with 9 years old, so things as you will see have change a little, now my place is Marbella.

I hope you like them

Bilbao was founded in 1300, bu the city reached peak prosperity in the industrial revolution and remained Spain's northern capital of steel and shipping until postwar recession.

Right now it has improved a lot with a incredible tube system, the new museum, etc
