Bilbao and revolution!

Bilbao, (Bilbo in Basque), in the North of Spain, is the largest city in the Basque Country and the capital of the province of BiscayBilbao sided with the Republican Government in the Spanish Civil War and was the capital of the first Basque Autonomous Government led by José Antonio Aguirre.in Bilbao there is also a terrorist group called Euskadi Ta Askatasuna or ETA (Basque for "Basque Homeland and Freedom is an armed Basque nationalist organisation.ETA was founded in 1959 and evolved from a group advocating traditional Basque cultural ways to an armed group using violence to demand Basque independence. Its ideology is Marxist-Leninist,ETA is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by both the Spanish and French authorities as well as the European Union, the United States, and the United Nations they still organize terroristic attacks .
Bilbao is a cultural city where u can find many museums,churchs and wonderful landscapes.
the famous Guggenheim Museum, the city acts as home for the Fine Arts Museum recognised as one of Spain’s finest art museums and recently refurbished and the Maritime Museum on the Nervion’s banks, which recently hosted the RMS Titanic exhibition which has been touring Europe. the extravagant Guggenheim Museum is cast as a symbol of Basque economic revival, and locals hope it will lead to a revitalization of their city.Anyway in bilbao u won't find just museums but it has also an intense life especially in the night,cafe,bars,restaurants are its heart! ok let s stay here just for one day,then we ll leave again to visit Madrid!
