Guggenheim was alright when I went, but that was a long time ago and I don’t remember how much it cost.
The Metro was sick as fuck, loved it.
Went to a massive out of town shopping centre that was a real trip, so loud and confusing. Hit up a mind bogglingly enormous Decathlon and got some unbelievable bargs and marvelled at the scale.
The old town is lovely, spent a lot of time there. Just floating between bars and nibbling olives and stuff. Could fill a whole weekend chilling there easily.
Outside the old town it felt curiously like you could be anywhere in Europe because it was so modern (all the Spanish people speaking Spanish would’ve clued you in if you got genuinely confused tho).
Probably loads of stuff I don’t know because we just turned up with no plan and went big tourist museum - bars - hotel - bars again - hotel again - home. Worked out p well tbf.

I was really disappointed by the Guggenheim tbh. Maybe the were just the wrong exhibitions for me.
San Mames tour was ace, shame they weren’t playing at home when we went.
I preferred San Seb tbh, smaller but beautiful place.

Santander is just about two hours though I think, would highly recommend there

This is actually the best thing I’ve ever posted on here.
Really want to get that tortilla
In extremely “getting way too carried away” news, I’ve booked a (refundable) hotel just incase we make the Europa League final.
Weighing up some trains as well but not sure where would be the best central hub to go from/via? Anyone have any experience of getting there by train at all? Better to go through France presumably? Is that viable?
Looks like you’d need to train to San Sebastian then bus from there to Bilbao if you went from France
