Our travel day from Santillana del Mar to San Sebastián –  Donastio gave us the perfect opportunity to visit Bilbao and the Guggenheim museum there and have lunch.   It is an amazing place to visit,  even if modern art isn’t your thing!   The architecture alone is spectacular!

The coolest exhibit in the Guggenheim is this infinity mirrored room by Yayoi Kusama.  Here is the description

In Bilbao for lunch after our visit to the Guggenheim, we had our first pintxos lunch.   Like tapas, these are small dishes, served differently on different places. Here,  we just pointed out our choice and they count toothpicks afterward to figure your charge!  They were delicious!  Lunch for 4 people with sparking water or sodas was only 36€ !  If course,  gelato after for dessert!  This place made beautiful roses in the cone!
