Bilbao

Bilbao is situated 10 mi/16 km along the banks of the Nervion River with its industrial and seaside satellites. The city is used to be primarily an industrial center but changing fast. The main attraction is the marvelous Guggenheim Museum, built in 1997 which is designed by architect Frank Gehry and devoted to modern art. The museum's curving metallic walls have made it one of the most celebrated architectural designs of the 1990s.
