90 mins drive from Zumaia to Bilbao, an early start to locate a pitch on the very busy terraced Aire overlooking the city in the Altamira region (Auto caravanning Kobetamendi) 21€ per 24 hours incl hook- up. We got there at 10.30 am. Buses every half hour from a few hundred yards down the hill ( No 58) paying 1.35€ each to the bus driver. Getting off at Basuto stop, we crossed the road, and caught the euskotren tram to the Guggenheim museum (€1.50 pay at machine, get time stamped before entering the bus)
Spent the afternoon wandering around the permanent and temporary exhibitions, are pintxos at the reasonably priced cafe, watched the large Palestinian demonstration march past the museum in the afternoon.
Stayed til 7pm and made our weary happy way home again.
I left my camera phone behind at the van by accident , I'm so glad I did as I was really able to spend time dwelling in the pictures and the exhibitions . Richard Serra' s amazing curved weathered steel wavy installations to wander in and out of on the ground floor , Martha K' s exhibition of expressionist abstract art, Cy Twombly's beautiful triptych paintings , the red granite benches with inscriptions, I love coming here (9 € entry for concessions and over 65 . 17€ for general public)
