Bilbao
Bilbao is a vibrant city located in the northern region of Spain known as the Basque Country. It is the largest city in this region and the tenth-largest in Spain, with a population of over three hundred thousand people. Over the past few decades, Bilbao has transformed itself from an industrial city into a cultural and economic hub, drawing tourists from all over the world.
One of the main attractions that put Bilbao on the map is the Guggenheim Museum. Designed by the renowned architect Frank Gehry, this avant-garde building is a work of art itself, with its curving titanium walls and unique structure. Inside, visitors can explore a vast collection of contemporary and modern art, including works by artists such as Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons. The museum has become an international symbol of the city's transformation and is a must-visit for art enthusiasts.
Apart from the Guggenheim, Bilbao has many other cultural and historical attractions to offer. The Casco Viejo, or Old Town, is a charming neighborhood that showcases the city's rich history. Here, visitors can wander through narrow streets, admire traditional Basque architecture, and indulge in local pintxos, a type of tapas popular in the region. The Plaza Nueva, located in the heart of the Old Town, is a lively square surrounded by cafes and bars, making it an ideal spot for people-watching and enjoying the local atmosphere.
Another landmark worth visiting is the Bilbao Cathedral, also known as Santiago Cathedral. Built in the Gothic style, this impressive structure dates back to the 14th century and houses many significant artworks and relics. Its stunning exterior and beautiful stained glass windows make it a must-see for history and architecture enthusiasts.
For those interested in Basque culture, a visit to the Basque Museum is a must. Located in a former convent, this museum showcases the history, language, customs, and traditions of the Basque people. Visitors can explore exhibitions on topics such as Basque folklore, traditional sports, and the region's rural heritage. The museum also hosts regular cultural events and performances, showcasing Basque music, dance, and gastronomy.
Bilbao is also famous for its culinary scene. The city is home to numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, as well as small, family-run eateries serving traditional Basque cuisine. Visitors can sample local specialties such as bacalao al pil-pil (codfish in a garlic and olive oil sauce) or txangurro (spider crab). Pintxos, the Basque version of tapas, are also a must-try. These bite-sized snacks, often served on a slice of bread, are available in bars throughout the city and are a great way to experience the local flavors.
In addition to its cultural and culinary offerings, Bilbao is surrounded by natural beauty. The city is located on the banks of the Nervion River, offering picturesque views and opportunities for outdoor activities. The nearby mountains and coastline provide further options for hiking, surfing, and enjoying the outdoors.
In conclusion, Bilbao is a city that has successfully reinvented itself, transforming from an industrial hub into a world-class cultural destination. With its iconic Guggenheim Museum, rich history, vibrant culinary scene, and stunning natural surroundings, Bilbao offers something for everyone. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a history buff, a foodie, or an outdoor adventurer, Bilbao is sure to captivate you with its unique charm and endless possibilities.

Vigo
Vigo is situated in northwest Spain and is the biggest city in Galicia, as well as one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. The strategic natural port has been the making of Vigo, and has been in use since Roman times; the city retains a strong maritime flavour and lures tourists with unspoilt beaches, old fishing districts, coastal fortifications, boat trips, and spectacular seafood.
The partially preserved fortifications of the city, built in 1656 to prevent Turkish invasion, can be viewed at sites such as the Castro Fortress, which is now surrounded by gardens and offers spectacular views over the port it once defended.
The city's historical quarter ( ) centres on the old maritime neighbourhood of O Berbes, near the port, where a labyrinthine network of narrow streets reveals hidden historical gems, including the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, built on the remains of a Gothic church said to have been burnt down by Sir Francis Drake.
The main attraction of Vigo, however, is the coastline itself: the Vigo Estuary is blessed with numerous white, sandy beaches, many of which are Blue Flag accredited and connected by pretty coastal walking trails.
The bustling port offers ferries to nearby towns such as Cangas and Moana, and boat trips are available to the unspoilt Cies Isles, rugged islands with pristine beaches that form part of the National Park of the Atlantic and are home to thousands of migratory birds.
Cherbourg
One of the most iconic landmarks in Cherbourg is the Cité de la Mer, a maritime museum housed in a former transatlantic passenger terminal. Here, visitors can explore the depths of the ocean through interactive exhibits, including a walk through a real submarine. The museum also showcases the rich maritime history of Cherbourg and its role in numerous expeditions and transatlantic crossings. The highlight of the Cité de la Mer is the incredible Aquarium Abyssal, which gives visitors the opportunity to witness a diverse range of marine life up close.
For history enthusiasts, a visit to the Musée Thomas Henry is a must. Housed in a beautiful 18th-century townhouse, the museum boasts an impressive collection of European art from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. From Renaissance masterpieces to contemporary works, the Musée Thomas Henry offers a comprehensive overview of art history and showcases some of the region's finest artistic talent.
Cherbourg is also well-known for its picturesque landscapes and stunning natural beauty. The nearby Cap de la Hague, a rugged peninsula dotted with charming villages and dramatic cliffs, offers breathtaking views of the English Channel. Nature lovers can explore the scenic coastal paths, visit picturesque lighthouses, or simply enjoy the tranquility of the countryside. The area is also home to several beautiful sandy beaches, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or taking leisurely walks along the shore.
In addition to its rich history and natural beauty, Cherbourg also boasts a thriving cultural scene. The city is host to numerous festivals, events, and exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing local talents and traditions. The vibrant downtown area is lined with charming shops, cafes, and restaurants, where visitors can indulge in delicious French cuisine and sip on regional wines.
For those interested in World War II history, Cherbourg played a crucial role in the Allied invasion of Normandy. The city was heavily fortified by the Germans, and the remnants of the Atlantic Wall can still be seen along the coastline. Visitors can take guided tours to explore the historic sites, including the Liberation Museum, which provides a comprehensive overview of the city's involvement in the war.
In terms of transportation, Cherbourg is well connected to the rest of France and Europe. The city has a major ferry port, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the nearby Channel Islands or traveling to the UK. Cherbourg also has its own airport, with regular flights to and from major European cities.
In conclusion, Cherbourg is a captivating destination offering a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and cultural vibrancy. From its maritime heritage to its scenic landscapes, the city has much to offer travelers seeking an authentic French experience. Whether exploring its museums, enjoying the coastal scenery, or indulging in local cuisine, visitors to Cherbourg are sure to be captivated by its charm and allure.

Vigo
Vigo is situated in northwest Spain and is the biggest city in Galicia, as well as one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. The strategic natural port has been the making of Vigo, and has been in use since Roman times; the city retains a strong maritime flavour and lures tourists with unspoilt beaches, old fishing districts, coastal fortifications, boat trips, and spectacular seafood.
The partially preserved fortifications of the city, built in 1656 to prevent Turkish invasion, can be viewed at sites such as the Castro Fortress, which is now surrounded by gardens and offers spectacular views over the port it once defended.
The city's historical quarter ( ) centres on the old maritime neighbourhood of O Berbes, near the port, where a labyrinthine network of narrow streets reveals hidden historical gems, including the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, built on the remains of a Gothic church said to have been burnt down by Sir Francis Drake.
The main attraction of Vigo, however, is the coastline itself: the Vigo Estuary is blessed with numerous white, sandy beaches, many of which are Blue Flag accredited and connected by pretty coastal walking trails.
The bustling port offers ferries to nearby towns such as Cangas and Moana, and boat trips are available to the unspoilt Cies Isles, rugged islands with pristine beaches that form part of the National Park of the Atlantic and are home to thousands of migratory birds.
