APRIL 9th: Getxo Town Hall, Guggenheim museum, Casco Viejo

Today we took a trip to the Guggenheim Museum and it was one of the most amazing museums I have ever seen. I don’t normally like art museums but this one was fascinating to me. The first thing we saw when we walked up was the giant statue of the “Pupi”; the dog made out of flowers and it was beautiful. We went in and walked through big steel sculptures and then went to the third floor to see the pop art section which was my favorite. We also saw the Jenny Holtzer exhibition which was very eye opening. Afterwards we took a walk down by the river and made our way to Casco Viejo.

Today we visited the Casco Viejo in Bilbao. Bilbao is an amazing city with a rich history, literally and figuratively. The small winding streets are home to various historical buildings, shops and sights to see. The buildings surrounding Unamuno plaza caught my eye, the reds yellows and greens of the apartments were so unusual and pretty to me.
