My home town.

My home town is Bilbao because I have lived there since I was born. It´s a small city in the north of Spain. When I was younger I wanted to go to live in a big city like Madrid or Barcelona but now I have changed my opinion because I think that Bilbao is great. I think that it isn´t very dangerous and you can feel safe because it´s very small and there isn´t much people. There are very many pubs too, in the `casco viejo´and there´s a very important museum called Guggenheim.

There´s a very important and prestigious university called `Deusto´s university´ where you can study many degrees. There centre of the city is Gran Via street where you can find the most famous and beautiful shops for clothes. This is part of the city that I like most.

If you go to Bilbao you should eat "bacalao al pil pil" which is very delicious!

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.

Bilbao by Mikel

I´m going to write about Bilbao, the city where I live. Bilbao is the capital of the province of Biscay and one of the most important city in Spain. Bilbao has 354,145 inhabitants and all the villages around Bilbao compose Great Bilbao, with 950,155inhabitants. Some years ago, Bilbao was really important because of industry and port, the fourth port in Spain.
I live in a small area in the north of Bilbao called Begoña. Begoña is important because of its basilica and the Etxebarria park. The Basilica of Begoña is a beautiful Gothic church built in the 17th century. The Virgin of Begoña is the most important Virgin for the people of Biscay. Etxebarria Park is the biggest park in Bilbao and some years ago there were some factories and now there is a big fireplace in memory of these factories.
Gran Via is the most important street in Bilbao and one of the widest. In Gran Via there are the most fashion shops and business buildings. If you like going shopping this is the best place . Here there is the highest building of all Bilbao: the BBVA building.
If you like sports there is a good basketball team in Bilbao called Iurbentia Bilbao Basket. This team plays in the ACB league and it has become a really good team. Iurbentia plays in La Casilla court, a small court but a beautiful place to see all the matches.

My home town, Bilbao.

My home town is Bilbao.It is in the north of Spain,in the Basque Country.It isn't as big as Donosti or Vitoria, the other cities of the Basque Country. There are 354,145 inhabitants in Bilbao. The city hall of Bilbao is on the old part of the city. The mayor is Iñaki Azkuna.






In the old part of the city there is the Arriaga theatre and the "Plaza Nueva". There are also some comercial streets.In the old part of the city there are some bars of "Pintxos".It is a little snack that people eat at the same time that they drink. Many Pintxos are very tasty.



The rest of the centre of Bilbao are the areas of Abando, Moyua and Indautxu.The "Paseo de Uribitarte" goes from Abando to Moyua along side to Nervion river. People go there to ride a bicycle, to rolling or simply for a walk. It is a beautiful paseo. If you go along, you arrive to the Guggenheim museum which is an art gallery.




Around of Bilbao there are many mountains like Gorbea (1482 metres high), Anboto (1331 metres high), Pagasarri (673 metres high). In my opinion you can see very beautiful sceneries from the top of these mountains.





The climate of Bilbao is very wet.


Many people of Bilbao are fanatic of the football team Athletic Club. This team is playing in the liga since 1928. They t-shirts are striped red and white.Athletic only sings professional players who were born in one of the seven provinces of the Baque Country.Their stadium is called San Mamés and it is nicknamed " the football cathedral".



If you came to the Baque Country come to visit Bilbao. It's very beautiful city!

Bermeo

Bermeo

My home town is Bermeo. But it's a long time since I have lived in there, I moved away when I was four. I left Bermeo because I had to study in Deusto. However, now I like Deusto more than Bermeo.

In Bermeo they sell a lot of fishes. You can eat the best "marmitako" anywhere in Bermeo. There are also shops where you can buy fishing products .

Bermeos high school is one the most difficult ones. One of the most important student of the high school is Nestor Barrenetxea, he is a sculptor and there is a place in the park of Bermeo where yo can see his sculptures.

In Bermeo there is a shipyard where the ships made of wood, not with metal. There is the museum of the fishing and a Church and Convent of San Francisco that it's 652 years old.

If you go to Bermeo you can visit the Kaixio bar, and the batun-batun pub, they are one of the best bars of Bermeo. And in the port you can find an Italian ice-cream parlour.
