Bilbao, Spain

June 15, 2019
Today we docked in Bilbao and we loved it.
This is now our new favorite place in Spain. We would totally rent an Air Bnb here for a few weeks. We decided to walk along the river where the Guggenheim Museum is and there were some street performers there and some artists selling their work. It was really a pleasant walk. Afterward, we walked back to the shuttle to drive back to the port.

Valencia, Spain

Today we took the shuttle bus into the downtown area. Valencia is really pretty and the people are really nice. After walking around for a few hours we took the shuttle back to the ship to grab some lunch.

After lunch, we decided to walk to the science center which was about 30 minutes away. The science center consists of three modern buildings which are really cool and unique. It reminded us of buildings that we saw in Dubai.
