Bilbao

Bilbao, in Spain, is the largest city in the Basque Country. The most important river there is the Nervión River.

It has about 360,000 inhabitants. Bilbao is also considered to be around the towns Erandio, Sondika, Derio, Zamudio,

Etxebarri, Basauri and Barakaldo.

Bilbao was founded by Diego Lopez de Haro on 15 June 1300.

The older part of Bilbao is the Old Town or "Casco Viejo" where there are many monuments, shops and tavems.

The most important museum of Bilbao is the Guggenheim. It's a modern and contemporary art museum.

It was designed by a Canadian man and the museum was opened in 1997. There is another Guggenheim in

the world that it's in United States of America. The exhibitions in the museum itself change often. It's centered

in Chinesse and Russian art. There is an important sculture called "Puppy" by Jeff Koons in front of the museum.

There is also another important museum that is the Maritime museum.

Athletic Club Bilbao is the football team of Bilbao.

The club plays in "primera división" since it's started en 1928.

They have won the league in eight ocassions.

They are famous as the "rojiblancos" because of their red and white

striped shirts. Their stadium is called San Mamés. Athletic only

signs to native proffesionals players.

The San Mamés stadium is hence nicknamed "the footlball

cathedral"

The university of Deusto is important too. It was founded in 1886. It is one of the most important institutions of Spain. The university has another campus in San Sebastian.

The cod pil pil is very typical in Bilbao. When the people came here

they usually try it and like it. The "pintxos" are also popular here and

the place where we eat them is in the "Casco Viejo".

In my opinion Bilbao is very beautiful and it has a lot of things to do here. The people who came

here always or usually like it, and the museum is the part most visited.

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!
