The Fabulous City of Bilbao

Bilbao is a Spanish city that is steeped in history, and it is pretty much written on the walls of the all the buildings, the restaurants, the museums and the luxury hotels.  Bilboa is also a city that was built over a span of seven hundred years, and the architecture and the various influences and designers set the background for one of the most stunning cities in the world.  It is culturally aware city, and extremely art driven.  From the Guggenheim to the Basque Museum, and centuries old paintings and sculpture to the archaeological artifacts and remains, the two comprise just a couple of the dynamic and vibrant locations and activities for tourists to soak up while on holiday.  Aside from the larger museums there are more than twenty smaller independent galleries that line the city streets, many of them with permanent collections as well as touring exhibits of the hottest and most talented artist of the modern and contemporary world of art today.

As as far as finding shows to attend in the world of performing arts, there is the Palacio Euskalduna, an Opera house that seats more than two thousands.  On stage here, as well as the long-running seasonal Operas, international bands and musicians perform, as well as the local orchestras of Bilbao and the Euskadi Symphony.  And as with the larger museums and smaller galleries, there are more than seventy five smaller venues in the city performing live shows as well as cinematic festivals and current films.  And many more are built as some of the most famous architects today have signed on to a variety of projects including, Calatrava, Gehry and Pelli just to name a few.  There are just around one million people living in the city today, and is  the force that is driving the economic and social development of the entire Gulf of Biscay region.  Carnivals and festivals celebrated in the region are celebrated in Bilbao, and there are certain festivals as the Semana Grande, and the Carnival that are geared especially for young children.  This one vacation spot that is perfectly suited for the entire family.
