BILBAO. Where amazing things could happen

Bilbao is a city of the Basque Country, where I've lived since I was born.
In the old ages,Bilbao was an industrial city.However, now Bilbao is a touristic city and also it is involved in the third sector ofthe economy.






I lived in the centre of the city,in a neighbourhood called Indautxu.
I really like to live there because it's very near from the shops area and because I live very near from my friends.
Also I like it because in the morning it's a quiet area.However,at night it is one of the most popular meeting zone for the young people.
So if you come and you like going out,I recommend you to go to "Poza40" or to "Grafit".

Bilbao is one of the most tourist
city of Spain.It's famous for the several monuments that it has; some museums, Arriaga theatre, Euskalduna palace, the university of Deusto... This image is of one of the most popular buildings of Bilbao and also which is one of the most famous museums in the world, The Guggenheim.







If you come you will know a different and a very rich culture,as you do always you visit another country.

One of our customs why the peopple of other parts of Spain know us, are our traditional "PINTXOS". They are made by traditional ingredients ,like vegetables, meet, and the codfish,very popular in the Basque Country.



As I have said at the beggining of the article, in the old ages,Bilbao was an industrial city. There were a lot of factories and a lot of people who lived in the countryside came to Bilbao looking for a job in one of the multiple factories that were in the city.
Now, the times have changed. Nowadays we are having bad days in the economy, but Bilbao continue growing in all the senses. Today you will find a city implicated in the third service of the economy, you will be in a city dressed with a more brigth colour, more alive.














Definitely,if you come to Bilbao you will find a different world.
Maybe you will live moments that you never have experimented before, you will know a new culture of living of eating and in the relationships between people.You will be in a world where you will feel out of the real one, a smile will appear in your face everytime peolpe ask to you about your trip.
