We did a tour of old town Bilbao. Nora was lovely and very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Having grown up in Bilbao, she had a special appreciation for it.

After we toured the city, we had a much more clear understanding of the basque community and culture of the people. Also received recommendations for pinchos restaurants, and a few secret spots to investigate on our own.
