I was expecting a lot more walking around the old quarter We probably only walked about one km ( we spent a lot of time stood still listening to the guide. He was very knowledgeable but needs to learn to filter and judge the internet levels of the group. He did loose a lot of the group by talking too much about each subject, went off on tangents & consequently I’m not sure how much I took in.

Joserra had an encyclopaedic knowledge of Bilbao in terms of history, politics, geography and the town itself. He was keen to share and very enthusiastic about his topic. It was great to have a local that we could ask questions of and know the answer had been considered.
