Wow, what a fun weekend we had. Weather held up pretty well, the Guggenheim knocked our socks off, and fell in love with pinxtos!<BR><BR>BTW, thanks to Cova for all the advice!

Yes, PLEASE ! Actually I'm planning to visit there some time next year. Can I have a general report of your trip ? Especially I would like to know about your hotel (and any better choice you would have made, etc),the places you visited including the Guggenheim. Thanks very much for asking.

Sonia

Hey Sonia, I remember your original post and I think I posted something on it. Glad you enjoyed Bilbao as much as I did..... only thing I didn't like was the big scary spider sculpture outide the Gug!

Sonia

Hi BJ<BR><BR>Yes, you certainly did give me advice. I printed out the posts from you and Cova and refered to them throughout the whole weekend!<BR><BR>Know what you man about the spider, it's those spindly legs!<BR><BR>Thanks for your help, will post trip report soon..

Hi Sonia,<BR>I´m glad you enjoyed. The weather was changing, but at least it was nice for walking around.<BR><BR>And the spider is called &quot;Mama&quot; Just pity that Puppy´s winter clothes have just been planted. It is not so colourful as during the summer ...<BR><BR>Cova

Sonia, if you go back to the Basque Country for a longer period you should visit San Sebastian and also Santander in Cantabria which are both lovely. I believe that there are many nice places to visit along the coast and inland. I thought Vitoria was very nice and very easy to reach from Bilbao. Cova, I love the name they've given the spider. It actually does have some eggs in its womegg sack?) so I guess it's appropriate.
