Plaza Circular

Bilbao likes to put up lights for christmas. Although not quite in the Blackpool league, they are still very nice.

A Status Symbol

You can barely see the Basque flag by the tree!

I noticed a lot of palm trees throughout the city. My friends tell me these are not native, but imported as a status symbol. (I remember Ireland having a lot of palm trees too.)

Basque People is friendly with the foreigners, but they are quite close, and serious at the begining.
Los vascos son amigables con los extranjeros, pero son un poco cerrados y serios al principio.
