Our last day based in San Sebastián, we rented a car and drove to Bilbao. Site of the iconic Guggenheim museum.
We saw some exhibits…
In addition to the museum, I was reallly impressed by the city of Bilbao. One of the first things we came across was a playground adjacent to the museum, with a nice little outdoor cafe next to it. Why can’t we have playgrounds with cafes? Mac ran off and joined the several groups of school kids there playing. We had cappuccinos and snacks. There were interesting street performers. One of my personal favorites sightings was the electric tram that ran through the city, and the way the tracks had been purposefully made into a public green corridor through the city.
On the way back to San Sebastián, we drove through Gernika and talked about history. It was a beautiful town, hard to imagine what happened there.
