Basque Country and Bilbao. Other Spain

Posted on March 22, 2015March 23, 2015 by evgeny

Like whether the Basque Country to the rest of Spain? – Our special correspondent-a volunteer, Evgeny, talk about, what to see in Bilbao, как там живут баски и чем похож испанский север на наши широты. Автор некоторых фото – Arkady Mikhailov.

Какие картины предстают перед нашими глазами, when we talk about Spain? Конечно жаркое солнце, palm trees, beautiful sea… но в Испании нашлось место и для холода, heavy rains and gray sky. Today I am in Bilbao – самом крупном городе страны Басков, которая является самым северным регионом Испании. И, by the way, weather – is not the only, what differentiates this region from the typical Spanish.

Bilbao

Бильбао встречает меня совсем не обычным для Испании характером застройки, that reminds, likely, Scandinavia. dark colors, preferably soaked in black and brown colors.

Bilbao2

Bilbao1

It is worth noting that the Bilbao very clean on the streets, everything looks well-groomed and generally, throughout my visit to Bilbao, I had a feeling, I'm still not in Spain, а в некой другой стране.

Bilbao18

To find where to stay in Bilbao, I once again decided to take couchsurfing-ом и честно говоря, за всё моё путешествие по Испании, this is where I got the largest number of invitations. my host, Aimar, I told, that the Basque Country – the richest and most prosperous region in Spain. Here, the lowest unemployment rate, the highest salary, you can get an excellent education and a whole lot of prospects. I'd add, that apparently along with high salaries, prices in stores are too noticeably higher, than in the rest of Spain. Удивило и отсутствие традиционной для Испании сети гипермаркетов Mercadona, которые считаются самыми дешевыми.

Climate

The first and most noticeable difference between the Basque Country from other regions of Spain – climate. Удивительно, but it is very c similar to St. Petersburg, the only exception, that the average temperature of approximately 5 degrees higher in winter is not so dark. The winter here begins in November and lasts until the end of March. In the meantime, на протяжении многих недель, жители Бильбао видят серое небо и бесконечные дожди, sometimes complemented by strong winds. By the way, for this reason, over the ropes for drying clothes from the local people can be seen funny umbrellas.

Bilbao7

В среднем, year, two rainy days there is one solar. Real summer starts in July and ends in mid-September. This time, when you can wear shorts and even swim in the Bay of Biscay!

Bilbao3

Heavy rain and bring their favor – the region is exceptionally beautiful nature, изобилующей самыми разными красками, especially in the summer. Surrounded by mountains and hills with beautiful views, how the city, and the sea, that does not leave indifferent lovers of hiking.

Bilbao4

Люди

В стране Басков разговаривают на испанском языке, although the two official languages – Spanish and Basque. At last, you can often see the signs on the streets, newspaper, books, but in general it is not so often used. К слову, Basque language is also very difficult, and it bears no resemblance to Spanish. As recognized by my host, он и его девушка знают и умеют говорить на баскском языке, but in life, как правило, They use a mix of both languages, или просто говорят на испанском.

Bilbao6

Здесь же стоит отметить, что люди в стране Басков, как и Каталонии, также пытаются добиться независимости от Испании. Однако в целом, каких-либо агрессивных настроений у местных жителей я не обнаружил. Возможно это ещё и потому, что один из дней моего визита выпал на “день отца” – 19 Марта, когда вся Испания отдыхает и пребывает в приподнятом настроении. 🙂

Куда сходить и что посмотреть в Бильбао

Для туристов, озадаченных осмотром достопримечательностей, город открывает большие возможности. Traditionally, как и во многих городах Европы, You will find here the main and most beautiful church, and of course cozy maze of old streets.

Bilbao8

Not deprived of the city and museums, the most famous of which – Guggenheim Museum. The building of unusual shape, in which I have not had the pleasure to get there, due to predatory input value 11 Euro.

Bilbao17

Одним из лучших мест для прогулок является набережная реки Нервьон. on foot, at a run, or cycling – very nice to see well-maintained roads, Street, lawns and sometimes bizarre monuments, расположившееся вдоль набережной.

Bilbao9

By the way, для любителей велопрогулок Бильбао предлагает хорошо организованную сеть велодорожек, а также автоматические пункты проката велосипедов. However,, было печально узнать, that auto rental is only available to local residents. If you are a tourist – if you please find rental shops for tourists, I, to be honest, I never saw.

Bilbao10

But here I came to help my host, who gave me his bike map, and I got a chance to try the wonderful bike service, which for the locals is completely free. Conveniently – take a bike rental station and return it at any other. rental stations enough. In this case, a bicycle can be used no more than an hour, после чего его нужно вернуть и через 10 minutes can be taken again. Это удобно распределяет вело-трафик и дает возможность пользоваться велосипедами всем желающим.

Bilbao11

Transportation

Помимо вело-транспорта Бильбао предлагает жителям автобусы, trams and metro.

Bilbao13

Bilbao14

By the way, quite remarkable, the subway was built in a fairly small town – here only 300 тысяч жителей. At the same time it is a very popular means of transport, covering many of the next suburbs. It can be easily to reach the sea – станция метро Bidezabal. Здесь расположен отличный пляж, and just a great place for walking. Также здесь берут начало некоторые пешеходные маршруты.

Bilbao16

instead of a conclusion

Honestly, I was very lucky, those two days, I spent in Bilbao, It pleased me a warm and almost rainy weather. In conjunction with this, impressions of the city and its beautiful places were much better, what could be. Go to Bilbao winter – не самая хорошая идея, однако если вы планируете посетить Испанию летом, then there is nothing better, how to start the journey from the north – Basque country!
