I was planning a trip to Bilbao, Spain, for the project and just a few days ahead it turned out that my father would be in the same region at the same time, so we adapted our plans and spent a weekend in that very beautiful city. Of course we visited the Guggenheim Museum appreciated the very diverse architechture and enjoyed the local Tapas.
Bilbao is indeed a beautiful city and a complete contrast to the Spain that many envisage. Pine covered mountains with log cabins and a much more northern european flavour are things that were uexpected to me personally.
