Visit the noble city of Bilbão, whose iron ore mines were first discovered by the Romans. This modern city, founded in 1300, is in the throes of a spectacular transformation as urban projects and avant-garde architecture (such as the ultra-modern Guggenheim Museum) contrast sharply with Bilbão's Old Quarter and the city's medieval heart.
In the modern part of Bilbão, enjoy a panoramic drive through this magnificent city. The Abandoibarra area boasts the famous Guggenheim Museum. Step inside to explore the impressive permanent and temporary exhibits, all housed within a love-it-or-hate-it architectural environment that symbolizes the urban and economic revitalization of Bilbão.
Finally, drive through the Old Quarter and along the estuary en route back to the pier.
