This weekend I took a trip with a few friends to Bilbao and San Sebastian, Spain. A weekend full of good meals, wandering, wine, art, chit chat, and cafe breaks. We arrived just in time for a late Friday night dinner.
Saturday morning we headed for the old town, casco viejo, with the help of a friendly stranger, and a few stops a long the way.
Shoe shops with lively spring colors, and break from the rain, inside the Mercado de la Ribera, which mostly sold fish, but a few pig heads too.
Winding our way through the seven narrow streets.
Plaza Nueva.
It's always a good idea to refuel before starting into a great afternoon of art, so, a nice lunch on the way to the Guggenheim.
And time to see some fantastic works at the Gu.
Wrapping up our time in Bilbao with dinner at Panko...which quickly became or restaurant of choice.
A quick trip to see the birds, stamp collectors, and card traders at the Sunday morning market at Plaza Nueva before our bus to San Sebastian.
