Our tour guide, Daniel, picked us up at the hotel and drove us to BILBAO where we took-in some views of the city and then made our way to the centerpiece of our visit - The Guggenheim. All I can say is The Museum itself (the building) is THE ART and all the amazing art inside it's walls seems to be there in a supporting role... what an amazing building; what an inspiring space. After a couple of hours in the Guggenheim, we proceeded to the coastline and took pictures in beautiful and historical locations such as Bakio, Bermeo before ending up in a picturesque, country restaurant called Almiketxu, which specializes Basque cooking including grilled meats and fresh fish - food was delicious and all paired perfectly with the local TXAKOLI wine. An amazing day made perfect by our knowledgeable guide who took the time to ask questions so he could adapt the day according to our interests. I recommend this tour and specially recommend our guide Daniel Gonzalez.
