Bring spare bag with you when you come to Bilbao, as there is much to take back. I recommend stocking up on the following: a) Rioja (get crianza that tend to be good and good value) b) Txakoli (local white wine that is sharp and green) c) Cider (different to other ciders you may have tried d) Patxaran (aniseed liquer that is excellent for settling overfull stomachs e) Jamon (cured hams - the more expensive the better) Leave a Comment

Bilbao is a vibrant city, but timing is all, so bring a watch. Turn up too late, or more likely, too early, and you will wonder what all the fuss is about. Turn up on time and you will have a real party. If you are British, you may have a real problem adjusting to the times - not eating before 1.30pm, having dinner at midnight. Leave a Comment

If you want to blend in, gentlemen should bring a large supply of check shirts and a jumper (pullover/jersey) to drape artistically accross the shoulders. No, I'm not joking, have a look when you are here Leave a Comment

Bilbao is in Green Spain. That means it rains. While the weather is seldom below freezing in Bilbao, it is frequently wet. Leave a Comment

Do not forget an umbrella, the weather is umpredictable, it doesn´t rain everyday, and it´s not London, but do not forget it!!

 TWO PIN ELCTRICAL PUG by MaheshSamtani If you happen to carry any electrical stuff like hair dryers or just a simple charger for your mobile telephone - you will have to take into account that the electrical systems admit only the 2 pin round plug as shown in the picture. If you are coming in from Britain you might want to buy an adapter to be able to use your stuff in Spain. It may be a little difficult to get it in any normal electrical store. If you happen to have a El Corte Ingles department store near you - they sell adapters for different systems. The Spanish system is compatible with most European plug sockets – except mainly for the British 3 pin plug - so get that adapter.
