BILBAO

My home town is Bilbao. I´ve been living there since I was born, and I don´t have the idea of moving away. It isn´t a very large place but you can find anything you want on it . People here are very friendly and, as a result, there are immigrants from different countries, so we can say that is a multicultural town.

Bilbao is so famous thanks to its gastronomy; you can eat well in almost each restaurant or bar. The most popular dish is the cod, but in a Basque way, and every cooker prepare it for their restaurants. There are buildings which are known all around the world such as the Arriaga Theatre, because the most important performances are played on it; the Guggenheim museum, whose paintings and sculptures are recognised in every country and the Euskalduna Palace.

There are different types of festivals (every village has her own one), but the main festival is the BigWeek, which takes 9 days of August every year and attracts more than 100.000 visitors. Apart from it, there are different kind of "fiestas" depending on the village. In some of them, people organize bull fights, in other places food shows...

We can use three main ways of traveling around Bilbao: the tram, the metro and the Bizcaibus, which are cheap and fast, and they can move you almost to every place of the town.

In conclusion, Bilbao is well known for its food , nice people, museums and theatres. And I´m very proud of living here, but I won´t mind changing my home town in the future.
