Bilbao & the Guggenheim!!

---

The Guggenheim is amazing. It´s everything it´s cracked up to be and more. Some people may kill me for saying this but the interior spaces were so much more interesting than the artwork it holds - then again my disclaimer is that I´m looking at it from a different eye to most people. You kinda want to stop people and go, "Do you SEE that? Do you notice this space you're walking in???" :p

Stayed in a nice pension here, next to the Cathedral de Santiago, overlooking the plaza. Only drawback was the churchbells ringing every 15 minutes. Thank God they stopped after 10pm.

Also got to see the Zubizuri by Calatrava. Bilbao is like an architectural tour for me because I know of these projects through magazines, but seeing them gives a whole new meaning.

Siesta time in Bilbao
Yes. It's 3pm and everything is closed. EVERYTHING.

Me & Zubizuri
Travel truth: it's very hard finding someone to take a decent picture of you when you're travelling alone. I don't know why this photo-taker cut off half the Zubizuri!!
