  The second edition of Footprint Bilbao explores the continuing evolution and appeal of this Basque city. As well as providing detailed coverage of the world-famous Guggenheim Museum, this guide proves there's more to Bilbao than Gehry's titanium icon. Follow the detailed maps through the web of medieval streets in the old town, using our extensive listings to find local bars, serving the best pinxtos in town. Or catch the glistening Metro to the beach for sun, sea and sand. This guide ventures further afield, too, to bring you highlights of the fascinating Basque region: the cuisine of San Sebastian; the wines of Rioja Alavesa; the surf of Mundaka and the unspoiled countryside of the interior.
