A Mystical Tour of Bilbao
Tour of Bilbao, Spain
Bilbao is the epitome of Baroque and contemporary design in the cosmopolitan side of the Basque Country, making it among the top cities to visit in Spain.
Visitors enjoy its remarkable urbanization system through its lush parks, vibrant museums, reliable transportation service, and high-quality tap water everywhere in the city, which passes the water potable standard of the Organisation of Consumers and Users (OCU). It does serve this city correctly, with Best European City 2018 at The Urbanism Awards in the same year.

Some traditional dishes that are a must-try are Bacalao al Pil-pil with codfish, Kokotxas from a hake’s throat and Baby Cuttlefish with a serving of Piperrada sauce.
Bilbao is also known for Pintxos, which is the Basque Country’s rendition of Tapas. Everyday, especially on Thursdays, pintxos are served freshly made with delight in bars and restaurants all over Bilbao and the rest of the Basque Country.
Among the most-favored Pintxos are olive, chili pepper and anchovy skewer, a blend of anchovies, peppers and hard-boiled egg on a bread slice, codfish omelet, marinated grilled meat, fried prawn with garlic, ham croquette, and bell pepper filled with codfish. This is traditionally matched with sparkling white wine or apple cider beer.
