Best Bilbao holiday apartments

Bilbao is a modern and vibrant city in the Basque region of Spain. Located on the banks of the Nervion River, this ancient city enjoys a relatively temperate climate. The area surrounding the city is spectacular, as mountain ranges, beautiful countryside and gorgeous beaches can be seen at every glance. Bilbao is part of a larger conurbation that has a population of well over a million – making it one of the largest in Spain. This great city is a mix of history, industry, tourism and innovation, and the best way to fully appreciate all it has to offer is by staying in a holiday apartment in Bilbao instead of in traditional hotel accommodation.

Enjoy your Vacation in Style with Vacation Rentals in Bilbao

Perhaps the most striking tourist attraction in the city is the Guggenheim Museum. This twisted mass of metallic art houses a huge selection of modern art from some of the world’s most celebrated artists. If you prefer something a little more traditional, make sure you take a trip to the Museo de Bellas Artes, where you can peruse over 6,000 works from medieval times to the present day. And the Basque Museum is home to several artefacts and exhibits that chart human history in the Basque country. This wonderful city has much to explore, and making a vacation rental in Castanos your home for the duration of your visit will provide you with all the modern amenities and luxuries you left behind at home – ideal for recharging your batteries after a day spent exploring all that Bilbao has to offer.

Become part of the Community in an Accommodation in Bilbao

A popular custom in Bilbao involves visiting several restaurants in one evening. Tapas bars provide small bowls of food that are ideal for sharing, and Bilbao is home to several of these quaint, local eateries. Rent your own holiday home from 9flats.com, and you’ll be able to prepare the freshly-caught fish you buy at one of Europe’s largest covered markets – Mercado de la Ribera. If you’re in search of Bilbao’s main hive of activity, make your way to Plaza Nueva, where the grand architecture is just as impressive as the atmosphere. A busy, chaotic market occupies the square every Sunday morning. Bilbao is also the home of the Aste Nagusia fiesta which takes place during the second half of August. The festival includes a series of street parties, lots of music and a range of street-based, theatrical performances.
