Burgos and Madrid
On our drive from Bilbao to Madrid, we had a quick stop in Burgos, at the Castillo de Burgos (Castle of Burgos).
Around Bilbao
Bilbao was our base for 3 weeks. We stayed in the Deusto neighbourhood, a friendly family-oriented area. It’s in close proximity to all the neat things to see and do in Bilbao.
Bilbao Museo Arqueológico and Street Performances
The only plan for today was to wander around the city.

Beaches around Bilbao
Plentzia Beach is apparently one of the most visited beaches in Biscay. Playa Salve is the longest beach in Cantabria with 4 km of fine soft sand.
