My home town




The city where I live is Bilbao. It´s not very big but it´s very beautiful and interesting because you can do lots of thing,like visit very interesting places .Bilbao is in the north of Spain,in the Basque Country. Bilbao has 354.145 habitants.The mayor of Bilbao is Iñaki Azkuna.



Themountains which are next to Bilbao is Gorbea, which the half of the mountain is in Alava and the other half is in Bizkaia and it´s high is 1481 metres.Pagasarri is 673 metres and the Ganekogorta which is next to Pagasarri and it´s 998 metres high.Bilbao´s nickname is the hole.


The climate of Bilbao isn´t very pleasant ,because it rains a lot . In winter the are more or less from 3 degrees to 10 , and in summer the weather is better but the summers aren´t very hot.



The most beautiful places of Bilbao are the Guggenheim museum, the Nervion River which is very important.And the oldest part of the city. Most of the people who come to Bilbao visit those places.



Bilbao's football team it's Athletic club.They have been playing in the firts divition since 1928.And they have won the liga eigth times.The stadium of this team is San Mames and it's nickname is "the football cathredal".Athletic it's the only team who has all the players from the Basque Country.Their t-shirt is striped red and white and their manager is Joaquin Caparros.My favourite player is Yeste, because he is a very good player and he aports a lot to the team.

Inmy opinion,the people who live there are very nice.Lots of people come to visit this city and they say that they like it very much,and that the food is one of the best of the world.
