Bilbao Spain: Basque Country

A leisurely morning was a must Friday after a wild night on board at The Petit Chef and Martini Bar. We rolled out of the terminal around 10am and boarded a bus for the town center of Bilbao. What a gorgeous city among one of the oldest civilizations: the Basques.

We just drifted around the banks of the river and enjoyed the beautiful architecture; old and new. Of course, the Guggenheim Museum was a must-see. We found Old Town and a sweet little place to rest and enjoy some pintxos, yummy Basque-style bite-sized snacks at Café Bizuete. The fascinating Mercado de la Ribera was bustling with shoppers for their daily provisions. The fish!!!! A sensational market all around.

We were reunited with our table for eight on board at the Cypress Restaurant and shared adventures from the previous few days. Great fun. Great cruising experience for all! Can’t post pics with tech problems.
