What to See in Bilbao
Bilbao is the capital of Vizcaya in Basque Country in Spain. The city is situated on banks of the Nervión, a tidal river. The climate in Bilbao is milder here than in most other parts of the penninsula, rarely going below freezing in winter, or above 35ºC in summer. There is also more rain here, which is a mixed blessing. The green hills of Bilbao are a welcome relief after an extended stay in the dry plains in the south, but planning a day at the beach is less certain. The population of Bilbao proper is just over 372,000, but within the metropolitan area there are over 1,000,000 inhabitants.
