Day 53 Bilbao to Sestau

The sun was shining as we got up and breakfasted at Andres’s flat. Then on the road once more.
We wandered through complete urban sprawl on the way out of Bilbao. The nicest sections were along the canal and at 1 point through a kind of country park whee the locals were sunbathing.
Apart from that we went through blocks of apartments, under and over motorways, big loud building projects and felt quite done in when we arrived in Sestao. It had been a long slog of roads and underpasses.
The approach into town was very daunting with rubble and broken concrete buildings with lots of graffiti.
We plodded up and down the Main Street of pinxtos bars, we found one that was serving chips and burgers and settled for lunch.
Still have big issues with finding food as no where here does a meal before 8.30pm.
We called into a local greengrocer and bought supplies to cook as we knew we had a kitchen to use.
We arrived at the apartment we had a room in and the owner was quite flustered as she had been in shower when we rang the bell!
We were shown our room, the bathroom and kitchen then left to our own devices.
After showering we slumped, then had to rally to get cooking - our first homemade meal in 2 months.
We were well underway with this when the phone went.
Suddenly 2 more guests arrived- so now we are 5 adults in a tiny apartment with one toilet 😫
Not great!!
We will avoid this situation in future
We settled ourselves to eat whilst the other adults wandered about us working out how to use the washing machine- not very relaxing!!
Anyway onwards and forwards let’s hope we get some sleep and are in a more peaceful setting tomorrow 🤞Read more
