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.
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.
Bilbao is one of the safest cities in Europe, besides the political situation...
