Bilbo by Aritz



Bilbo is an interesting city in the north of Spain ( in the northwest of the Basque Country ) It is the capital of Bizkaia and the most important city in the Basque Country because of its industry and population ( 354,145 inhabitants (2006).

The most important building in Bilbo is the Guggenheim museum that is located near the Nervion River, the river that crosses all the city. This museum is designed by Frank Gehry. The museum has the shape of a modern ship, and it has a lot of curves. I suggest you walk along the river, because you can see the most important buildings of Bilbo ( Zubizuri, The Council, University of Deusto, Euskalduna...).





Bilbo also has a very modern underground, built in 1995. It is the cleanest underground in the world and one of the most beautiful. It has got two lines but they are building a third line.

Finally there is a famous soccer team in Bilbo, Athletic Club de Bilbao. It is a historic team of the national first division and I suggest you to see a match of this club at San Mames, the cathedral of the Spanish soccer. It is a special club, there are only basque people playing in it.

Bilbo is a very beautiful city and I suggest you to visit it with your family or any of your friends.
