Bilbao & the Basque Lands, 2nd (Cadogan Regional Guides)
Cadogan celebrates the city of
the millennium! Bilbao has undergone an amazing rejuvenation in the past few
years, becoming an international center of art and culture, and its tourist
industry is booming. A new airport terminal and improved public transport
have helped make the city and surrounding area a more appealing and
convenient destination for travelers. "El Goog", as the Basques call Frank
Gehry's titanium wonder, was meant to attract attention, and it has
succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams. But there's more to Bilbao than
the Guggenheim Museum, and there's much more to the Basques, Europe's oldest
people. Cadogan takes visitors through their stunning habitat of velvet
green mountains, immaculate villages, vineyards, and ancient holy places.
Now in its second edition, this first-ever guide to the entire Basque
country (including both the Spanish and French sides of the border), gives
readers the lowdown on the Basques' history, culture, ancient language and
festivals, and explores the dramatic vistas of the Pyrenees. With Cadogan's
expert guidance, experience vibrant Vittoria and live it up in the
glittering resort of Biarritz. In this guide... *Find a detailed section on
the Guggenheim Museum and its collection, with floor plans, full practical
information, and the story behind this remarkable structure *Indulge in some
of the world's finest cuisine at Cadogan's choice of restaurants and cafés--over
300 personally selected places to eat *Experience the best of Bilbao's
energetic nightlife and surge of new bars, nightclubs, and hotels |
