Basque Country

Of course there is the Guggenheim, but what I most loved about Bilbao were the exceptionally friendly and laid back people. Take a stroll through the many honest bars at night, you may be lucky as we were and meet bar choires of old men that hop from bar to bar, singing songs and making new friends. Also a visit to a game of Athletic de Bilbao is most recommended if you're into football. A passionate yet fair crowd, it's so easy to make friends with them in the area around the stadium in the many cozy bars. What a cool city!
