Destination Management Bilbao
Bilbao, capital of the province of Bizkaia, is the centre of a metropolitan area of more than one million people. It is located on the banks of the Nervión river, which joins the Cantabrian sea 11 kilometres further downstream. The river has been protagonist of its industrial and economic development since the city´s foundation in 1300.
Bilbao is one of the main economic and cultural hubs in northern Spain, and has gained international recognition as an architectural point of reference. Certainly, the Guggenheim Museum has acted as its main calling card. But Bilbao has plenty of other interesting sites to offer, in and around the city.
The city of Bilbao – affectionately known as El Botxo (the hole) – has much to offer, to a great extent as a consequence of the urban renovation process being undertaken. There is a varied and lively cultural scene.
Last but not least, Bilbao is an international point of reference in terms of gastronomy. The excellent restaurants scattered all over the city transform eating into an art form.
