More Old Town Bilbao

Cathedral


















Stores built in to the side of the cathedral, just as in the old
days















In the Plaza Miguel Unamuno


















Tribute to the Philosopher


















Street scene...a rainy cool day


















In the attractive 18th century Plaza Nueva














Where we examined all the pintxos joints, settling finally














On Victor Montes'














Enjoying something a little more staid than this flotilla of
squid-laden jamon boats approaching (while Vicki did her
email)
















I later bought a nice Basque cap...not from
this store



















And we spent another hour or so just
admiring the old town before the heavy
weather arrived




















Mural ceiling in arcade across from the
Mercado...went on for a couple blocks



















Beautiful place...we'll be back
