Spanish Vacation: Day Eight

Day Eight begins...

We left San Sebastian today to travel to Bilbao, another important city in the Basque region. We spent the morning touring around, seeing various interesting sites. Such a beautiful coastline.

The above is an intriguing set of artworks located at the water.


Today was a bit sad though as this was our last day with our driver/guide Jose. Jose had been excellent, very professional, personable, informative and witty. He certainly enhanced the quality of our trip and he went out of his way to increase our enjoyment. I would heartily recommend Jose as a guide to anyone traveling in Spain. I wish Jose had been our driver/guide for the entire trip.


This is the famous Guggenheim Museum, designed by the renowned Frank Gehry. It is certainly a striking building.


This is a closer view of the Guggenheim.


This is a fun topiary of a puppy located in the front of the Guggenheim. It is made from various colored flowers so that is is very vibrant and colorful.



Another statue by the sculptor who designed the statues at the seaside above.
