 Bilbao la Vieja. by RudoElCojonudo Bilbao is very save city. There is only one controversial area. It´s in Bilbao la Vieja, in San Francisco St. Many marginal groups live in this area, magrebian inmigrants, gypsies, drug adicts, prostitutes, etc. Avoyd this street, espially at night and if you travel alone. If you are going there during the day don´t show money, cameras or jewerly. Leave a Comment

 Looking east from the Puente Principes de Espana by Bricamb Bearing in mind the activities of ETA I wasn't sure what to exepct in Bilbao from the point of view of personal safety. In fact, apart from the odd graffitti message and banner, it would be hard for the outsider to guess that there was any trouble at all in the Basque Country. I felt very much at ease in Bilbao and the local people seemed very relaxed. Leave a Comment

 Caso Viejo,Rio Nevrion and Ensanche by Bricamb If you are not a confident overseas driver (like me) I would advise against driving in Bilbao. My hostal was in a part of town which was tricky to get to by car due to the plethora of one way streets. Take care or you may end up driving up the Gran Via the wrong way like me!! If you do get into trouble or lose your way, don't hesitate to ask the locals for assistance. Leave a Comment

 Euskadi Ta Askatasuna. Basque Country and Freedom by RudoElCojonudo Many people thinks that the terrorism is a problem in the Basque Country. Most of the terrorist attempts are directed to politicians, policemen and enterprise owners. I have lived here all my life and I have never have any problem. Think that not all the people feel them like Spanish. Be open minded, take care of that there is another language, another customs and another culture and enjoy them. ;-) Leave a Comment

I clumsily attempted to spend some time in Bilbao hoping people would have a stab at English. Bilbao is not an area where English is spoken (why should it be?). I felt a bit ignorant not being able to converse. You need a bit more than 'ola' & 'gracias' too. Leave a Comment

Behind the railway station, on the streets of las cotes and san fransisco, ther is the area for hookers and pims and addicts. During the day you camn walk thrugh it (just watch yourself), but avoid it after dark, you never know what can happen. Leave a Comment

The area around C/ San Fransico can be questionable during the early hours with seedy activities ongoing. The area is generally fine during the day, and indeed, there are some respectable ethnic restaurants in the vicinity. Leave a Comment

ETA Is a anti-gouverment group that sometimes make kinds of parades because they want the independency of the 'Pais Vasco'

You will probably have read a lot about the Basque terrorist group ETA. You will even find a lot of posters in the streets supporting its activities. It is even possible that you encounter some demonstrations or even riots, but this is not very usual and is not dangerous for the visitors. Leave a Comment
