The hall with the beautiful glass art windows was mentioned in 1980 as the largest covered market hall in the Guinness Book of Records. Today there are several stalls on two floors - mainly fish - but also pintxo bars.

Puppy — Floral Sculpture by Jeff Koons at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Highlight • Monument

The 12,40m high dog made of flowers was created by Jeff Koons. The natives jokingly refer to Puppy as the real landmark of Bilbao and the Guggenheim Museum as an expensive kennel - but probably with a grain of truth.

Guggenheim Museum

Highlight • Monument

The Guggenheim museum not only cleaned the face of the dirty Bilbao of the 80's but also gave the city a modern and avant-garde air. A 'must' to visit in this city.

Now we are in Bilbao since yesterday, we are standing on a guarded SP above the city.
From there we took the bus into the city, 35 minutes drive, 1 35 €, really cheap. I.e. the tour is a combined bus and foot tour.

There are a few churches. The church towers are interesting. Something different than usual.
And the market hall was the highlight today... culinary 🍍🌶🥐🥓🐟🧀🍦🍷 and also for the eye 👁 …

Hello Komootler, if you have the opportunity you should take a look at Bilbao. The diverse architecture is unique. I was already cycling in Bilbao last year.
