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.

The city where I live is Bilbao.This city it's in the the north of Spain in the basque country.It's a little city which contains 354,145 habitants.Bilbao it's also named "The botxo", it was founded the 15 of June in 1300.The mayor of Bilbao is Iñaki Azkuna.Bilbao is surrounded by mountais for example Artxanda or Pagasarri and by little cities like Erandio, Sondika and Derio.Bilbao has an oceanic climate.

In Bilbao there are some museums like the Guggenheim Museum, Fine arts Museum,Maritime Museum...but the most important is the first one.The Guggeenheim Museum of Bilbao is a tcontemporary art museum designed by Canadian:Frank Gehry.Is near the Nervion river.Is one of the places the most beautifual of Bilbao and a lot of tourist came to sea it.I like it very much because is a very original museum and there is also a park.

The tipical food of Bibao is the "bacalao".I think that is very tasty and makes a good meal.I often eat it but is not very easy to make. We can do "bacalao al pil-pil,bacalao a la vizcaina..."

The football team of Bilbao is the Atletic Club and the basketball coach is the Iurbentia Bilbao Basket.I often go to sea them to the San mames, the stadium.

BILBAO

My home town is Bilbao which is a city of Spain. Bilbao is the largest city in the Basque Country and it has long streets for walking in. I would like to mention special buildings like the Guggenheim Museum, Euskaldun Theatre or the old part of the city.

The Basque Country has a very varied food which we can emphasize the fish like "Bacalao al Pilpil" or "Cocochas". Other kinds of foods are nice but the fresh fish is better because Bilbao is close to the sea and they had a fishing industry.

Bilbao has great universities like University of Deusto which is one of the most important institutions of Spain and the Bilbao campus offers different studies. University of Bilbao was created in 1968 and it is a public university

In addition people do many sports like soccer, basketball but specially they go surfing which is practiced in the beaches. Bilbao has a football team which is called Athletic Club of Bilbao.

Why don't you come to Bilbao?

BILBAO!

My home town is Bilbao. I've lived here since I was born. There are different languages, apart from Spanish people speaks Basque. I think it's very interesting place to visit because it has a lot of places to see like the Guggenheim Museum or the Arriaga Theatre.




It's easy to find fresh fish because Bilbao is in the North of Spain and the sea is nearby. Also you can find good meat and other kinds of food. But one of the most typical dishes is "Chipirones en su tinta". They are black and they haven´t got a beautiful appearance, however in my opinion they are delicious.




Bilbao was founded by Don Diego López de Haro on 15 June 1300. The Old Part of the city is called "Old Bilbao", Bilbao La Vieja or Bilbo Zarra and there you can walk and eat in many bars.

Bilbao has got a football team with a lot of fans and a big stadium, San Mamés.

So, if you are in the north of Spain, why don't you come to Bilbao?

My home town

My home town is Bilbao.

Bilbao is the largest city in the Basque Country. I have been living here since I was born so when I am older I would like to continue living here with my friends and my family. Bilbao is not big or small but you have all you need to live well.

In my opinion Bilbao´s weather is cold and specially in the winter. In summer the weather is hotter but not enough for me. In July I go to the south of Spain there the weather is really hot.

If you go to Bilbao and you love shopping like me you should visit some zones like Moyua Abando or Indautxu. There you will find lots of shops to buy clothes, shoes, earrings...

Apart from the shops you can find gardens and places to rest. This is my favourite zone in Bilbao.

And if one of your hobbies is football you should see team football matche´s. It is the one which represents our city and I love going to San Mames to see them. W hen they lose I don´t like but if they the win it is really good!

Finally I wuold encourage you to visit Bilbao and specially the zones I have meant.

Your home town

Look at my post on my home town, Leicester.

Now write a post on your home town. Make it as interesting as you can so that anybody reading your post would like to visit it. Try to avoid cliches such as: Bilbao is very beautiful or Athletic is the best football club in the world!

Do a Google search or look up your town in Wikepedia to find information that perhaps you didn't know about and can improve your post.

But remember: no copying and pasting! Everything you write should be in your own words. And don't forget do do a spellcheck before you publish your post.

Leicester

My home town is Leicester which, for some reason, you pronounce as "Lesta". But it's a long time since I have lived in there, I moved away when I was seventeen. Then I thought it a very boring place, not particularly big or small, and wanted to live somewhere more exciting. However, now I think differently. There is a great cultural mix in the city with many people second, third and fourth generation immigrants.



















You can eat the best Indian food anywhere in Leicester. It's particularly good for vegetarian recipes that originate from the south of India. There are also shops where you can buy material for saris, ingredients for Jamaican dishes and whole streets where Kenyan jewellers display their wares.




















Leicester University has an international reputation based on the fact that both students and teachers are engaged in research about space. Leicester Physicists (led by Professor Ken Pounds) played an important role in proving Einstein's General Theory of Relativity - that black holes exist and are common in the universe.






































And if you are in search of history, you will find some of the most important Roman remains in the whole of Europe dating from around AD 50 when the city was used as a military settlement.

So if you are thinking of a trip to England, you can see that it's well worth planning a stop there.
