We will kick off the day by visiting the Guggenheim Museum, which is so highly valued and coveted due to both Frank O. Gehry's striking design of the building and also the quality of the collections it houses. Located in the old hub of industrial and port activities in Bilbao, this building has become a symbol of the city's urban regeneration. This regeneration has extended all the way along the ria, where parks and walking areas have sprung up, and where some of Bilbao's most emblematic constructions are to be found.

These include the Euskalduna Palace, the Isozaki Towers and the Zubizuri Bridge. The last-mentioned construction, indeed, was designed by Santiago Calatrava.

To complete our journey back in time to Bilbao's industrial past, we mustn't forget to visit Vizcaya Bridge, which is the first metal transporter bridge in the world, and whose construction displays certain similarities with the Eiffel Tower. We challenge you to make your way to the highest point of the bridge and to walk along its pedestrian walkway. The views up there are spectacular and will certainly make it worth your while.

You can make your way back to Bilbao for dinner or, if you prefer, you can choose to dine in Portugalete or Getxo; the food here is equally exquisite and you will then have the option of taking the metro back to Bilbao.
