I have always lived in Bilbao; since I was born...a very long time ago!!
Bilbao its a great big city situated in the north of spainbetween San Sebastian and Santander.


Its got lots of things to do like visiting the great, succesful, big and modern Guggenheim Museum with its new instalations ubicated in the center of this lovely city.(you can see a modern view un the picture of the left).

















In these wonderful village there are also some






special and tipycal basque food. the most famous and inernational example of this "delicatesen" is the cod. This kind of fish is used to prepare many dishes. You can make a soft "bacalao al pil-pil" (pi-pil cod) witch is done with a special sauce that makes it delicious. Another way to prepare this comun sea-food is making a "bacalao a la vizcaina" (biscayan cod).






Anyway, we have got exotics "pinchos" (small portions) that marks the difference from other spanish citys. All the turist get surprised when they see lots of smal-portions in any pubs`bar. (you can look in this picture many different kinds of these wonderful food).






Another advantage of thic Cantabrian exotic place is that we have got, as many diferent citys all over the world, a football and a basketball team.


Talking about our basque football team its name is "Athletic" and they play in San Mames stadium. Its nown for its huge space. Bilbaos`s colour is known to be red and white because this team is represented by those colours.


If we talk about our complete succesful basquetball team called "Bilbao Basket"
