Why this trip
A giant dog made of flowers guards the Guggenheim Museum: Puppy is Bilbao's receptionist for children, and the spot is worth a photo. The Basque city is surrounded by green hills, and a visit from April to June or in September and October brings sun without great heat. The Guggenheim Museum fascinates children with its shape, which recalls a ship, and in the Itsasmuseum, the maritime museum, they experience the history of ships. The Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park offers ponds and play lawns where children feed ducks, just a few steps from the museum.
The Zubizuri bridge, a white arch over the river, invites a stroll, and the old town with its pintxos bars works even for fussy eaters: small bites for small hands. San Sebastián, Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia are other Spanish destinations, but Bilbao itself is enough for a few days. As lunch is often served only from 2 pm and dinner rarely before 9 pm, an early snack is worthwhile for children. The flight takes about two hours, and entry is visa-free within the Schengen area.
