Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Tickets and Tours

September 16, 2020 //  by Gerry Kerkhof

It was an extraordinarily farsighted decision to locate the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The initial idea met with much opposition. Why spend such an enormous sum of money on one building? Couldn’t the money be spent on better things? Who’s going to come here anyway, just to look at a museum? Luckily for Bilbao the …

For most visitors to the holiday hotspots of Spain’s Costa del Sol the most popular day trips are to the white village of Mijas and Ronda or along the coast for a visit to Gibraltar.
