Bilbao's Mercado Ribera

We wanted to spend more time in Bilbao and particularly to see some of its old town. Happily, bus #58 carried us all the way the next day to the old town and back. First stop was Bilbao's newly renovated city market, the Mercado Ribera.

A beautiful new-looking structure

Full of light and air

And stained glass; like a cathedral of Basque food

Pretty much the same sights and smells, despite the glass
and stainless steel

And crowds

Resting in peace

At the cafe, breakfast pintxos (tapas)
