A last note about Bilbao, and today

Hello, everyone.

Yesterday after the post was done, we found some time to investigate a museum that we hadn't known about until leaving last year at 0630 to the airport. (A time when if we see a new thing we can't do anything about it.)


This is the view of the Archeology Museum of the Basque region. They have made clear, informative displays about such things as Neanderthal man's traces, the Visigothic culture, and so on. The museum is located in the Casco Viejo, the old city area, adjacent to the Plaza Nueva.

Today we rode the Bilbao Metro to Portugalete, about 6 miles, and started walking from there. At first we were on a bike and walk trail. It reminds me of the Hike and Bike at home, except that there is enough space for the bike riders not to have to sharr with the walkers.
After that we were mostly on more paved walking trails, with some other surfaces. The Cantabrian Sea was close by and we were walking in fresh, cool sea breezes. I did trip over a rock once, but am fine.
We ate a nice late breakfast at the Las Arenas beach resort, then continued on over trails, paths, and boardwalks to Castro-Urdiales. There are plans to hit the pillow early after putting in the miles today.
