Got a week in Mallorca end of August as well to sit in the sun and read a book. Work has been a right drag recently so can’t wait for either. Nice! Always fancied both Bilbao and San Sebastian.

wykikitoon 24079 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago San Sebastian has about 10 Michelin star restaurant's doesn't it too? So you'll be smashing it with them too. The Guggenheim museum in Bilbao looks mega. There is supposed to be some stunning architecture there and really nice parks too. Let us know how you get on.

Yeah there is a thing in architecture called the Bilbao effect, basically about how the Guggenheim started the regeneration of a former industrial town. It’s quite interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite interesting. Interesting and little known fact is that Solomon R. Guggenheim’ father “Americanised” his surname from the original when the family moved there from Euwrup. Moshe Gewgenhyam grew up in a hovel in what was then the village of Fulwell, son of the local miller. It’s rewmoured that he was intending to sail to Bilbao to start a new life but a passing sailor tricked him in to sailing to New York. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
