Hello, I am María, a person who enjoys walking, wandering the streets and getting lost in my city, discovering places, people, projects, businesses and illusions of the people around me. At one point I began to read, learn, study and collect information and curiosities about the city where I lived and where I was born and along with that discovery I began to love it even more to see it with different eyes and it eclipsed me. Now I would like to tell you its history, show you its streets, what it was, what it currently is, the brutal transformation and the revival of its ashes. What do you say ? Do you dare to discover it with me? Welcome to Bilbao. Ongi etorriak Bilbora.

Tour description

Welcome to Old Bilbao. Old Town

Historical tour of the Villa de Bilbao. Seven Streets.

For almost 2 hours we will take a guided tour of the oldest part of the town, where Bilbao and its commercial port , the Seven Streets , began to be created, the oldest part of Bilbao.

A historical journey through these primitive Seven Streets, whose medieval layout has survived to this day.

We will talk about what the city was like in the year it was founded, in 1300, trying to imagine the life of that time, that of the people of Bilbao and merchants who lived some seven hundred years ago.

We will also see the church of San Antón and the cathedral and the emblematic areas and buildings of the Old Town of Bilbao.

If you like the history of the cities you visit, this is your tour.

This is a tourist visit made with historical rigor, with many hours of research and study but above all with enthusiasm and with the intention of entertaining.

Ongi etorri Bilbora. Welcome to Bilbao.

Maria.
