I live about half a mile from the part most seriously affected, Getxo. Today itīs been a sunny day and everything is coming back to normal. No casualties. The worst flooding in 25 years, they say.
We had heavy rain for 24 hours in a row. Bilbao has not been almost affected.

Hi Mikel,
my brotherīs girlfriend lives near Avda de los Chopos, and they were able to see a couple of people swimming to cross it.
At least it seems that things werenīt so bad as they could have been in the Nervion, and Bilbao wasnīt affected.
I wonīt be going there until the end of June ... and I really hope that we will have beach weather.

Weather is not that nice now, Cova...at least not in the past two months, but it can only get better.
I live just by the Artea shopping centre, and for five years I lived in Los Chopos, the area is now OK, but still recovering, it was really impressive.

Mikel,
There were some great pictures of the floods in Alava-Araba on eitb24 the other day. Hope everything dries out by the time we get there.
Also, it appears that this is the 708th anniversary of the City of Bilbao. That's a lot of candles.
See you later.

Everything is dried up and in perfect condition, but it has certainly rained a lot this spring.
We celebrated the 708th anniversary last Saturday night, with a very spectacular show. Wait and see for the 800th...
