Bilbao: Full Day Excursion to San Sebastian <p><strong><span>Visit the old quarter, the Basilica of Santa María, la Concha promenade, City Hall, Church of San Vicente, Plaza de la Constitución, Victoria Eugenia Theatre and the San Telmo museum with works of Goya, Ribera and el Greco.</span><br />  </strong><br /> <strong>8 hours tour<br /> Morning tour<br /> No wheelchair<br /> Light physical activity<br /> Pick up and drop off at the Port </strong><br />  </p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Included: </strong></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Transportation by Deluxe Vehicle; Guided Tour; Entrance Fees</font></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Not Included: </strong>Any meals or other services not specified</font></p> <p><br /> <br /> <span><span>This city, also known as Donostia, lies along a white sandy bay between the Urgull and Igeldo hills. Fishermen's houses, a smart suburb and modern districts make it one of the most attractive cities on the Cantabrian coast. </span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>In the oldest part of San Sebastián, the churches of San Vicente and Santa María del Coro await you, the former Gothic and the latter Renaissance-Baroque. An old Dominican convent is nowadays the San Telmo Museum, whose archaeological and ethnographic collections, together with its paintings, are worth a leisurely visit. These busy streets lead you to the porticoed Plaza de la Constitución. Among its many balconies - numbered and painted white, betraying its origin as a bullring - stands the old Neoclassical City Hall, converted into the Municipal Library. </span></span><br /> <span><span>La Alameda del Boulevard leads into the Romantic city, which emerged after the old walls were demolished. One the banks of the Urumea you can make out the Victoria Eugenia Theatre and the María Cristina Hotel, built in Neoplateresque style.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>La Concha Promenade is unquestionably one of San Sebastián’s most characteristic features. It is a seaside promenade bordering the famous Concha Bay, shell-shaped as indicated by its name in Spanish, with two beaches</span></span><span><span> (Ondarreta and the Concha) and an island (Santa Clara)</span></span><span><span>. Added to its unbeatable views of the sea, this lively promenade makes its way past iconic buildings</span></span><span><span> like the Hotel Londres, the Palacio Miramar and the Perla Spa.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>What is today San Sebastián's City Hall was home to the city’s Gran Casino from the time it was opened on 1st July 1897 until it was closed in 1924 with the prohibition of gambling. Its roulette tables and Dance Hall, currently the Plenary Hall, provided entertainment for politicians, writers and artists in the Belle Epoque period. </span></span></p> Bilbao: Artistic Half Day City Tour <strong><span>Visit the old city center located on the right bank of the river Nervión, the Cathedral of Santiago with beautiful gothic cloister, the Plaza Nueva, the Yohn Palace, Arriaga Theatre, and the incredible Guggenheim museum, designed by the north American architect Frank O. Gehry and built on a 32.500 m2 site in the city center. The building itself is an extraordinary combination of interconnecting shapes. Orthogonal blocks in limestone contrast with curved and bent forms covered in titanium.</span></strong><em><span> </span></em><br /> <br /> <strong><span><span><span><span>3 hours tour</span></span></span></span></strong><br /> <strong><span><span><span><span><strong>Morning or afternoon tour</strong><br /> <strong>No wheelchair</strong><br /> <strong>Light physical activity</strong><br /> <strong>Pick up and drop off at the Port </strong></span></span></span></span></strong> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Included: </strong></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Guided Tour; Entrance Fees</font></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Not Included: </strong>Any meals, Taxis or other services not specified</font></p> <span><span>Bilbao's 700 years of history are present in buildings and constructions that will pleasantly surprise visitors. The historic quarter is listed as a Conservation Area and forms the best point of reference for understanding the city's history. It is an example of urban regeneration, with more than 400 shops of all kinds. The city centre is a showcase for the best of 20th century architecture, with buildings that have housed the most important firms and institutions of Bilbao for over a century. This impressive collection of buildings has been created by the best local architects of each period. </span></span><br /> <span><span>But Bilbao has not finished being built: in addition to the genius of the local architects, the most prestigious foreign firms have contributed finished projects to the grandeur of the city, with some still in progress, by architects of the stature of Foster, Gehry, Calatrava, Isozaki, Pelli, and others.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The Cathedral of Santiago, is the oldest building in Bilbao.This Gothic church was built on top of an old hermitage that dates back to the Santiago pilgrimages. The cathedral has three naves, covered with ribbed vaults. Although the building is essentially Gothic, the actual façade and the tower were built in the nineteenth century. The choir stalls and the cloister are exquisite with the latter ornately Gothic in style. The crypt was built in the old hermitage, and still has the hermitage's original walls. There are two doorways, one which is Renaissance in style and the other Neoclassical.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The baroque Yohn Palace, known as ‘The Bourse’, has a beautiful carved lintel around the door, which is extremely rare in urban architecture in Bizkaia, and three interesting exterior walls, the one facing Santa María street being the most impressive. </span></span><br /> <span><span>The Arriaga Theatre is a very beautiful building. Inspired in the Paris Opera, it was the work of the municipal architect Joaquín Rucoba and was opened in 1890. In 1902 it was named in honour of the Bilbao musician Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga, known as the Spanish Mozart because of his talent.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The Bilbao Guggenheim Museum has become the cultural and tourist driving force of the Basque Country. This spectacular building, built by Frank O. Gehry in 1997, is completely covered with titanium sheets. It houses its own private collection, in addition to sharing with New York and Venice the world's largest and most impressive private collection of modern and contemporary art.</span></span><br />  <br />	09/14/2023 08:00 AM	09/14/2023 11:00 PM
