Hello everyone! I'm Susanne from Athens, and I came to Bilbao in 2018 to visit the GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM and was captured by the hidden beauty of this fantastic Basque city. My love for the whole Basque Country is such that I became an Official Tour Guide to be able to offer tours to anyone would be interested to discover what I have discovered and enjoy Bilbao in its best. I 've joined the GuruWalk community since the summer of 2020 and so far, I had the chance to meet up hundreds of fascinating people, and that's the best thing about this job. Here, in Bilbao, we believe that "The Bilbainos born wherever they want" meaning that one does not has to get born here to be Basque and that's my case! Join my tour to discover the best parts of Bilbao and get to know a lot of stories about this very special nation, the Basques!

Tour description

The Memory Walk (El Paseo de la Memoria) is an open-air- artistic walk along way the river estuary of the side of the Guggenheim Museum. Used to be a high industrial area, and now is the favourite place for a stroll. Having the Museum in its centre, bridges, buildings and sculptures are full of hidden stories, waiting for whom wants to listen.  
The walk is of a straight course of about four kilometres and very relaxing, mainly because of the time of the day chosen to do.  During an hour an a half, we'll talk about the Guggenheim Effect and why the Museum was built in Bilbao, the beginning of the Athletic Football Team, the stories of the bridges that we'll pass and about some even more interesting stories about its people whom lived in a city which has been transformed like no other, but wants to keep its memory alive.

Susanne is a charming and knowledgeable guide who shared with us history and colour while taking us on a really enjoyable walk on the river, with beautiful sights. The group was small and that allowed us to feel free to ask questions and get engaged with what we were seeing. Recommend! Bring cash.
