Guggenheim Museum  Bilbao, Spain

OK I’ll admit it, this museum has been on my bucket list since before it was completed and is one of the main reasons we’ve wanted to explore northern Spain for so many years.

The building, designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, was built next to the Nervion River. A work of contemporary architecture, it has been hailed as a transformative moment in architectural culture.

Setting riverside on the grounds of the Guggenhein Museum Bistro Guggenhein Bilbao severed a variety of sandwiches, deserts, drinks, and off coarse coffee. Tourist from all over the world, business people working on computers and locals all enjoying the perfect weather and the jazz music at this thriving open air bistro.

So relaxing and pleasant we returned twice for lunch.
