A GOOD IDEA!
After dancing, screaming and jumping without stop-ping in Kobetamendi, what better way of relaxing than with a swim at one of our beaches or with a drink overlooking the sea. Plentzia, Gorliz or Arrigu-naga are perfect for enjoying a calm sea. Barinatxe - La Salvaje, Bakio or Mundaka, however, are ideal for surfing or other water sports.

July, without a doubt, is the month of the Bilbao BBK Live. Established as one of the best festivals both at national and international level, every year it receives thousands of music fans. Bilbao BBK Live has been chosen as the best large format festival in the 2019 Fest Awards.
Top bands including The Killers, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar o Pet Shop Boys will make the audience rock at the different venues located on Mount Cobetas during the three days of the Festival. We are really looking forward to hearing them live!
What's more, with a capacity for 12,000 people, the Kobetamendi arena (easily accessible by public transport from the Termibus station, in San Mamés) offers the option to camp at the arena. This means that if you are going to the festival you can buy admission tickets plus access to the camp site.
So now you know, a good sleeping bag, songs from your favourite groups firmly implanted in your mind and off you go to enjoy the Bilbao BBK Live. We look forward to seeing you!

If you are in Biscay this Easter, do not forget to visit one of the most important events of this time of year, the Living Passion of Balmaseda. Here the players are the neighbours of the Town who take part representing the last hours of Jesus' life. More than 700 are estimated to be behind this impressive show visited by over 50,000 people from all over, not just from Euskadi but from all of Spain, until there is not a single corner left vacant. And no-one wants to miss it.

The processions and parades of the Great Week are found in Bilbao alongside culture, sport and cuisine. They come hand in hand with the basque FEST, a festival which, in its sixth edition, combines tradition and modernity along six lines- Culture, Music, Market, Sport, Gourmet and Cinema -linked by the image of the “lauburu”, a quintessential symbol of the Basque culture. Art exhibitions, dance and street theatre, children's shows, craft fairs, concerts, exhibitions of Basque design and performances of traditional sports are some of the activities to be enjoyed over the five days in a dozen different areas of the city.

Spaces for immersing yourself in culture
The Durango Basque Book and Music Fair is an annual event held in the Biscay city in the first week of December, over the Constitution Bank Holiday weekend. It is considered as the biggest showcase of Basque culture as it is an ideal place to find out about works from Basque publishers and record companies. Historically, this event has been much more than a book and music fair, as it is a meeting place for Basque speakers and those interested in Basque culture.
During the Fair, thousands of people take to the streets to enjoy the festive atmosphere. Without a doubt, it is the best way of watching live performances, learning traditional dances and filling the streets of this city.
Magnificence in which to lose yourselfNATURAL PARKS
Switch off from the hustle and bustle of the fair to the characteristic green of Biscay. The high mountains and rugged landscape make it a beautiful province teeming with natural parks. The most popularly known are the Urkiola, with its opulent scenery; the Armañón, where it is possible to visit the Pozalagua caves, awarded the 'Best Corner 2013' by the Repsol Guide; or Gorbeia, the largest in the Autonomous Basque Community. Not to forget the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, in the heart of Biscay, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the many beaches embellishing the views.

23 years connecting us to art A GOOD IDEA!
Would you like to discover the “new” Bilbao? Having recently turned 23 years old, the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum has managed to set the city on a new course, establishing itself in the epicentre of a contemporary and innovative architectural puzzle. In its vicinity, we can see impressive buildings such as the Euskalduna Palace, the Iberdrola Tower and Azkuna Zentroa, and photograph the inspirational work of sculptors of the likes of Louise Bourgeois, Jeff Koons, Chillida and Oteiza. The metro stations are the work of Norman Foster and the towers which round off the Zubizuri bridge are the work of Isozaki.

The
Placeto
AGUR: post-modernists say “ciao”, but it still means “well, OK, I'm off”. Derived from the Latinaugurium, honestly.
AGUA DE BILBAO: this is what we call champagne in Bilbao, and we don't mean Cava.
ALIRON: the miners from a British company in Ortuella, on discovering a seam of iron would say “all iron” (come on, let's go), mean-ing double pay. Today it is used to cheer on the Athletic Club, whether or not they are the champions.
AMATXU DE BEGOÑA: a friendly and pleasant name for the City's patron saint, essentially used by the “txikiteros”, who share festivi-ties with her.
ANGULA: young eel which swims madly up the estuary, just to be eaten by the top dogs.
APACHURRAR: synonym for when someone shakes your hand enthusiastically... and your hand feels as if it is going to fall off, so to speak.
ATHLETIC: a most sacred word. Do not touch.
AÚPA!: this might be a country greeting or a casual hello from someone wanting to appear Basque. In San Mamés, to cheer.
AZUL BILBAO: refers to the colour of the sky of the botxo which only exists on the palettes of artists from Bilbao, naturally.
BACALAO AL PIL PIL: onomatopoeia which refers to the sound as the dish is brought to the boil: “pil-pil”.
BALDOSA: forever ours, the typical image which has gone from the floor to decorating scarves, tablecloths, pastries...
BEGIAUNDIS: as the name suggests, these are the big cuttlefish, because if they were smaller they would be called begitxikis.
BILBAINADA: Many people think this comes from the typical bragging exclusive to the people of Bilbao, but they are also the typical songs of the txikiteros sung from bar to bar or at celebrations, although if Athletic Club loses...
BOLLO DE MANTEQUILLA: (Butter bun) Famous but so simple it does not have its own name, although as it is from Bilbao itself, it does not need one.
BOTXO: “hole”, or the same thing, Bilbao, caught between two mountains: Artxanda and Pagasarri.
CAROLINA: multicoloured meringue that you pretend you are buying for your children because you are embarrassed, now you're grown up, to be caught eating it.
CHOCHOLO: simply as if you've gone gaga and talk nonsense.
COITAO: nothing to do with what you're thinking...it's a great inoffensive word.
CHAPURREAR: this means destroying any language you're trying to learn… with good intentions, though.
ENE: expression of astonishment, surprise, puzzlement or joy, depending on who uses it and when.
FELIPADA: triangle eaten in the Alameda whether or not you are hungry, yumm!!!
FRESCO: what those who are not hot-blooded call cold. They're just wimps.
FUENTE DEL PERRO: they are in fact lions... but it doesn't matter, they date back to 1800 and bark or roar but do not bite.
GABARRA: carried minerals along the estuary and to the Athletic Club when it won which in recent times has been far less often.
GANORABAKO: not of great importance, so to speak.
GASOLINO: a charming little boat, an alternative to the bridge, metro or car, which crosses the estuary for a small charge at strategic points.
GILDA: disputed among the people of Bilbao and Donostia... the truth is that it was created in honour of Rita because it was green, fresh and spicy. Where was it born then?
GOOOOOL: divine word which is not always used at the Athletic Club, but when they do score, not even marshmallows will soothe your throat.
GOITIBERA: 3- or 4-wheeled vehicle designed to break your head (reaches speeds of up to 130 km/h).
HAMAIKETAKO: gastronomic moment between breakfast and lunch taken to distract the stomach.
IRRINTZI: war cry which is now just pure folklore. Some foreigners have tried to copy it but only a squawk can be heard...
ITURRI: the caps from the fizzy Iturrigorri drink. The Americans don't know this but Coca-Cola caps are also called this.
JATORRA: talented, friendly, pleasant person, typically found here.
KALIMOTXO: mostly drunk in the festivities, when you can no longer taste anything, it appeared by chance when a crew from Algorta mixed it with Coca-Cola on finding that the wine bought for the festivities was not as good as they'd thought.
KILI-KOLO: physical-mental state meaning “so-so”, without a clear definition.

ORDAGO: thrown out by those who are “bluffing” when they want something and don't even have a trump card (from the card game mus).
OTXOTE: eight blokes from Bilbao singing at full volume from bar to bar... what more can you expect, who do you think you are...
PASTEL DE ARROZ: (rice cake) typical dish from Bilbao which used to be made with rice until someone constipated took it out of the recipe and now there's no sign of it.
PASTOR DEL GORBEIA: like the octopus from the world cup but this is the meteorological version.
PISCOLABIS: a little something, a snack eaten to open the appetite and at 5 you are still working on it.
PORRUSALDA: a simple dish made from leeks, potatoes and carrots... to “cleanse” after a good piscolabis.
POTEO: excursion which goes from bar to bar and glass of wine to glass of wine, growing more and more lively, and breaking into song.

PUES: found in every sentence, it is used to recognise the true citizen of Bilbao even if they are in Singapore.
PUPPY: it was planted in Bilbao and is still there, more photographed than its kennel just behind.

SANTURTZI: historic spot famous for the “sardinas freskue” song even heard in the middle of nowhere.
SINSORGO: it is not funny, however hard you try, it never will be.

SOKATIRA: typical sport where they fight to pull on the rope “to see who can last the longest...”
SORNA: humorous, sarcastic expression... as if making it clear you have an ace up your sleeve and even you are not sure about it.

TXALA: adorable calf with which it is best not to fall in love in case you eat it later.
TXAPELA: here it is a round flat cap without a peak, made in one piece, in other places it's known as a beret.
TXIPIS: friendly term for baby squid, trying to stop you feeling guilty about how delicious they are.
TXIKI: term of endearment aimed to make you feel closer to someone who really wants a small favour... not of importance.
