Bilbao offers up a different side of Spain than you might have seen on postcards. The capital of the Basque Country, Bilbao is known for its more modern appeal, including its buzzing skyscraper-filled downtown and contemporary Guggenheim Museum. Despite its modern leanings, the city is also steeped in history, with a 700-year-old Old Quarter defined by narrow medieval streets and lush gardens.
