Passed through in 2017 while walking the Camino de Santiago Norte and was amazed. In 2022 I spent a few days there and had a chance to go to the symphony. Honestly I didn’t expect much from a regional orchestra but I was blown away. On a level with any major city symphony. Better (in my opinion) than the Barcelona symphony. I’d go back to Bilbao in a heartbeat!

Just passed through Bilbao while doing the Camino. Although my stop was brief, I left Spain thinking Bilbao was one of my favorite cities, and I need to visit it again.

Bilbao was such a success in attracting new tourists that most cities tried copying its success

I first visited Bilbao more than 40 years ago, and it was a bit neglected. Revisiting it a few times in the last decade I think it's hugely improved, and it's now one of my favorites in Spain.

Bilbao is my most favourite Spanish city.

Thanks Stuart for the video on Bilbao! Super excited to finally visit this city in Northern Spain in a few weeks time. Super info on here as always!

Wow! I have been living in Bilbao for 6 years now and it was great to see this video pop up. Happy to hear you like it so much here

I moved to Bilbao a few months ago and now it's hard for me to visit other cities, I always want to go back to my home in Bilbao;) the only thing missing is quality bars with a good sound system, DJ bars with vinyl, jazz bars, festivals with quality music. ❤😊🎉

I was in Bilbao in 2022 for the first time. I have traveled extensively and Bilbao, IMO, is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever visited. It’s stunning. The city is the ancestral home of my father’s family (Uribe) and I’m now seriously considering it as a place to live in within a couple of years (I’ll have citizenship through birthright by then).

I loved Bilbao. Despite the rain. Bilbao has a unique color scale I've never seen in another city on this planet. The natural surroundings are also spectacular. In short, Bilbao has a lot to offer. As I said, I loved Bilbao.

My family is from Galicia and we absolutely love it there. Last year while there we took a road trip to Bilbao and stayed at a beautiful hotel directly across the street from the San Mames soccer stadium and a glorious view of the river. We took the metro all over and the bus and tram to the gorgeous Guggenheim. We absolutely loved the Casco Viejo. We were there for 3 days and we didn’t want to leave….we needed a few more days there. So I agree with everything you say in this video.

I'm in Bilbao at the moment and it's great. Really impressed

Visited two weeks ago. Beautiful city...Had my best pizza ever in Bilbao also... Kind of reminds me of Boston.

The Basque country is a great place to be in summer, the weather is not so hot, is a good weather, also the Basque country has an unique language ( Euskera, or idioma Vasco ) very rare and unique language with unknown origins, what makes the basque culture unique and very ancient, don`t worry all the people speaks spanish very well and other languages like english or french, what I want to say that if you `re a linguist or a fan of languages you will find it`s language and culture fascinating

LOVED Bilbao, there last week on a tour. Great walking city, clean, people friendly. Getting all the Christmas decorations and lights ready. Sorry I missed them illuminated.
Hope to return someday.
Great video.

[AndresCanive]

Fantastic video Stuart. I will be living and studying spanish in Bilbao for 6 weeks starting 31 July. I am so excited. Perfect timing. Thank you for all your excellent work. Luckily, I love rain, growing up in dry Southern California.

Good morning from Texas USA
Thank you for sharing your awesome channel
Lovely place you share from the beautiful Spain 🇪🇸 👍

Wow. Thanks for the video. I was born in Bilbao in the early 70s. Different times for sure, but the bulk of the city, its arquitecture, was already there. In the late 80/early 90s all government institutions came together to set up the blueprint for Bilbao's future. That was key and allowed all different projects to move forward. The Guggenheim Museum is obviously the most recognized building, but the most important thing they did, and not many people mentions it, was the cleaning of the river waters. You see, for decades we turned our backs to the river, which was a stinky brown-colored dump. Once life returned to "la ría" and the industry moved out elsewhere... things really changed. I'm so glad you recommend BILBAO. As a local, I thank you.

We came here 2 years ago on a tour, not knowing much about Bilbao at all. The bus hadn't even gotten to our destination yet when I blurted out, "Boy, I could live here". Well, fast forward to now and we may be moving here. A bit pricey on the rent, but the other costs of living here are quite affordable. If you can live without a car, the reduction in living costs would make the higher rents more affordable.
