Travelers generally come to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim—some for the art inside, but many for the amazing building itself. The Fine Arts Museum and the Basque Museum may not have been designed by Frank Gehry, but are worth a visit, and you can catch international opera stars at the Palacio Euskalduna.

Private premium tours for those that look for something unique and different in their visit to the Basque Country, based on an Off-The-Beaten-Path philosophy (but of course, the "can't miss places" as well). Focused on private tours for visitors interested in our particular culture and way of life, I love to show the Basque way of life and my favorite places as a local insider.

Secret Bilbao is a company that provides bespoke gastronomic and enologic tours and excursions for very small, exclusive groups. I founded the company thinking about visitors who wanted to discover the city and region in a totally different, highly-personalised way. I show them the "secret" spots in Bilbao that only us "locals" know about. As we stroll through the city visiting those landmarks that have put Bilbao on the map, I unveil those hidden spots that aren't found on Wikipedia - places that only a few of Bilbao's inhabitants - not all of them! - know about. At the same time, we sample some of the best "pintxos" the city can offer. Secret Bilbao helps visitors discover a completely-different Basque Country and La Rioja. We also specialise in escorting visitors to San Sebastian and Haro, the wine capital of the world-famous wine-growing region. Our bespoken tours always revolve around the region's history and development landmarks, our renowned gastronomy, virgin olive oil tasting sessions, wine sampling Master Classes and many more ways in which to enjoy the region's outstanding food and wine.

American architect Frank Gehry is responsible for this architectural masterpiece: this fantastic chrome and metal creation houses a large collection of modern and contemporary art, a continuation of the Guggenheim legacy.
Even if you don´t like museums, even if you don´t like modern art, this place is a must. Forget about the art display, the building is the main attraction. If you´re lucky you may actually enjoy the collections and exhibitions (I enjoy immersing in "The matter of Time" by Richard Serra, and watching Kiefer´s "Sunflowers" and Jenny Holzer´s digital poetry). Before or after visiting the museum, take a slow walk around the building, since every spot gives a completely different view. And my favorite works of art are in the outside: "Tall Tree & the eye", by Anish Kapoor (the same that made the Bean for Chicago), Koon´s "Tulips", Buren´s "Red arches" on the bridge, Bourgeois´ spider: If your wander around long enough, you may catch the Fire Fountain and the Fog Sculpture. On the main entrance, Koof´s flowered Puppy isn´t my favorite.
