Study Spanish in Bilbao: Vibrant city, beautiful surroundings

Those who Spain well travel as much in the North as in the South of the country, thanks to the amazing things it offers. Situated in the centre of the northern coast, you will find Bilbao, a vibrant, historic and well connected city. One can navigate the city on foot or take advantage of its extensive network of modern transport that includes bus, train, metro, tram and public bicycles. The surrounding area also has innumerable attractions, both inland and on the coast.

Vibrant city?

Our city has developed a great deal in the last 20 years since the construction of the Guggenheim Museum, which embodied advances in architectural design in Europe. Since then, tourism and construction of other of other places of interest have risen notably. Despite this phenomenon, the city has maintained its impressive historical structures such as the Cathedral of Santiago, the Basilica of Begoña, the Arriaga Theatre and the Hanging Bridge. As a consequence, the city has become a melting pot of traditional and modern architecture, surrounded by glorious countryside.

The city has it all, from night life, gastronomy and a rich culture to nature, which includes beaches, mountains and forests; all interlinked by a modern, economical and extensive transport system.

Beautiful surroundings?

It is a brief trip from Bilbao to the other major cities in the Basque Country, San Sebastián and Vitoria. Moreover, one can quickly reach typical Basque towns by train such as Durango, Gernika and Getxo, as well beautiful coastal villages, for example, Bermeo, Mundaka and Sopela. One of the highlights this region is Urdaibai, am estuary which was preserved as a World Heritage Site by Unseco in 1984, it is home to migratory birds, flora and fauna, as well as offering unbeatable landscape views.

Furthermore, the Basque coast attracts surfers from the world over, owing to its incredible waves, as well as the amazing seafood on offer and the tranquillity that one encounters on the network of footpaths that cover both mountains and beaches.
