Bilbao
The independent Basques have a colourful past and today speak Europe's oldest language.To find the heart of Basque culture in Bilbao, look out for the Kafe Antzokia, nestling inside a refurbished theatre in the Plaza San Vicente. This is the Basque Cultural Centre, where all ages learn about their ancient language.
Don't miss the Funicular de Artxanda, Pza Funicular, off c/Castaños where a magnificent old cable car struggles up the hill to the vantage point of Artxanda every 15 minutes.
The famous Guggenheim Museum is one of the most extraordinary and graceful buildings you could ever look at, or out from; built on the site of a disused shipyard, this has become the first stop in most people's tour of the city (closed Monday).
You're in a Basque stronghold so why not find out something about their fascinating history by visiting the Basque Museum, a puzzling, frustrating and yet fascinating reliquary (closed Mondays).
