Bilbao, located in the Basque Country, is Spain's 6th largest city and home to the world famous Guggenheim Museum. It is a city that is shaking off its industrial & commercial image, which so defined it in the 1980s, and replacing it instead with a modern 21st-century look that appeals to today's city tourists. If you like the hustle and bustle of an up & coming city then Spanish property in Bilbao could be for you.
The climate in Bilbao is mild throughout the year. During the summertime, the sea breezes coming in off the Bay of Biscay help to keep the city cool, while towns and villages located further inland swelter. In the winter months, Bilbao is cool, but never experiences extreme cold. The city does have a fair amount of rainfall throughout the year, making it a place in which you wouldn't buy a villa in Spain for the sun!
Underneath Bilbao's commercial exterior, visitors find a wealth of history in the old town - the 14th century cathedral being its main historical gem. Modern Bilbao on the other hand has been built for the future. Many fine restaurants offering a taste of Basque cuisine, along with bars, cafes, shops and entertainment facilities set against a backdrop of exquisite 21st century architecture provide all who come here with a unique city experience.
There is a substantial volume of Spanish property for sale in Bilbao. Most are apartments of one, two or three bedrooms, some of which overlook the waterways. The new district of Bilbao, which can be found across Arenal Bridge on the opposite side to the town hall, is where Bilbao property buyers will find the most luxurious apartments. Up on the hillside above the city, Bilbao property hunters may find further luxury properties, including some prestige villas.
