      Bilbao Das Museum

      November 18, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Das Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao zählt wohl zu den bekanntesten Bauwerken in dieser Stadt.
      Gestern haben wir die berühmte Biskaya Bridge besucht und heute fahren wir mit der U-Bahn in das Zentrum zum Museum. Regen ist prophezeit, laut Wetterbericht ist um 10 Uhr angenehmes Reisewetter, wir nutzen diese zeit.
      Wir kommen noch zeitgerecht ohne großen Andrang im Museum an können ganz bequem Karten kaufen, als Pensionist 7,50 € und gehen nun durch die moderne innere Struktur dieses besonderen Bauwerkes. Für mich ist fraglich wo die Kunst ist. Manchmal überlegt man was mehr Kunst ist, das Exponat oder dieses Werk als solches zu bezeichnen.

      Bilbao - Annäherung am Sonntagmorgen

      October 16, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Die einst heruntergekommene, sterbende Industriestadt hat sich neu erfunden. Sauber gepflegte Gassen, Grünräume und verspielte Fassaden kontrastieren mit moderner Architektur. Eindrücklich, welche Lebendigkeit hier wieder pulsiert. Das vor exakt 25 Jahren eingeweihte Guggenheim-Museum scheint eindeutig das Signal zur Trendwende gegeben zu haben.

      Zur Jubiläums-Ausstellung ist die größte Halle einem Hauptwerk von Richard Serra gewidmet. Da hat es uns definitiv "den Aermel reingezogen": zwischen den enormen Stahlplatten zu wandeln und akustische Effekte zu finden, Obertöne entstehen zu lassen, das hat uns richtiggehend fasziniert. Zwar steht auch in St.Gallen im Park neben dem Stadttheater ein "Serra". Die ganz besondere Akustik kann aber nur hier in dieser Halle zur Geltung kommen.

      In berauschender Aussichtslage hoch über der Stadt hat Bilbao einen perfekten Stellplatz eingerichtet, direkt neben einer grossen Naherholungszone, einer Cerveceria (eine Art Biergarten) und mit Blick in den Abendhimmel.

      Guggenheim Bilbao

      June 25, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Bus to Bilbao, but the train would have been more fun, I am sure people don’t know what a beautiful place they live in. Discovered I’d picked another great hotel, but not a lot of character.
      My navigation skills were severely tested at Plaza Moyua, with about six possible roads to take. But I found the #Guggenheimmuseum via a fabulous park, walk along the river, a few bridge crossings and a bridge climb. All my effort was rewarded and I approached the Guggenheim as the Rough Guide to Spain said I should. Was it worth it? A definite yes! But the bridge climb nearly killed me as my fear of heights had me shaking! I do love the ‘dog’, the flowers are simply beautiful.
      Bilbao doesn’t disappoint when it comes to street sculptures/installations and two that stood out are the women tied by rope but more importantly the iron work that show a man and a woman looking after someone in a wheel chair (last photo). I worry that old people are being put into wheel chairs and not given any hope of future mobility. I have never seen anywhere where more people are being pushed about. That is great that they are getting out but I fear they get no exercise and are on a downward spiral.
      On a more positive note I had the most delicious ice cream of the trip, with a macaron.. pistachio and lemon.. so yummy

      70. Bilbao -bei 44Grad

      July 16, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    • Day 5

      First day in Bilbao

      July 25, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Hoje de manhã tomámos o pequeno almoço ainda em San Sebastian, numa panaderia muito boa! Depois saímos em direção a Bilbau.

      A viagem foi muito curta, só uma hora. Quando chegámos conseguimos fazer logo o check in, e informaram-nos que era feriado hoje! Depois de deixar as malas saímos para passear e almoçar.

      Fizemos um passeio em triângulo recomendado pela pesquisa da Mommy, e depois de vermos o primeiro sítio, Jardines de Albia, comemos umas ótimas empanadas lá ao pé!

      Depois continuámos o nosso caminho até ao Guggenheim Bilbau, onde passámos algum tempo a admirá-lo do lado de fora e depois entrámos para admirar do lado de dentro também. Existem umas exposições permanentes de obras primas no último piso, e no piso do meio estava uma exposição muito gira de carros (uns muito velhos e outros conceitos para uns muito futurísticos).

      Quando acabámos a nossa visita do Guggenheim fomos em direção ao palácio do congresso, o terceiro (e último) ponto do nosso triângulo, para completarmos a nossa visita os edifícios/espaços que receberam prémios Pritzker.

      Visto que estivemos muito tempo dentro do museu já estávamos cansadas e fomos para o hotel fazer uma pequena pausa antes de irmos jantar.

      Para jantar escolhemos um sítio pertinho do hotel, onde comemos muito bem também!

      Portugaleta,Spain

      September 6, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

      First leaving Bilbao and the Guggenheim museum. The route was all urban/ industrial. 😔. Some big string guys from New Zealand decided to taxi out of town. It was boring. The river view and breeze saved the travel.
      . Very hot as we were walking on asphalt. But one 20km today. Easy! This from the gal who always said she didn’t like hiking!
      Not many places to stop….we found one place to stop, hurray!! 13km out.! Shoes off, Socks off. Ahhhh!
      We missed a turn at a bridge/ferry more like a gondola that takes cars, bikes and pedestrians across the river. 2 of us missed this turn and walked 2.9km along the bay.
      Beaches were amazing!!! We ended up in Getxo. . Absolutely, worth the mistake!! Photos don’t do it justice.. The full 5km+ round trip when hot and sweaty wasn’t the best, but worth it to me. Besides, we were already there!
      Some have been concerned over what I can eat.
      Fresh orange juice, sometimes ledge de Avena and Cola cao- steamed oat milk and chocolate. ( sometimes 2) 😃👍. Bananas, and fruit. Sparkling waters. Water in my pack. Not hungry when walking the Camino until we stop each day. .
      I take apart sandwiches and eat the fillings. Often 2 pintxos ( amazing small sandwiches that are their ‘fast food’😃)
      I can eat at dinner and have no pride about servings. The god here is great! especially the communal diners at an Alburgue with all the other guests. Fun meeting finds from so many different countries!
      And all my vitamins. I feel great!
      Time for a shower and to hand wash clothes.
      ***
      I had a bite to eat:
      Something I want to mention is that sometimes going up a very steep climb or a steep down ( especially in mud) one can only think of the next foot step and plow pole plant. If there is a moment- Getting to the destination. A shower, clean clothes ( because every inch of you is sweat!) water, lots of water ( even though you’ve had lots).
      Other times - you realize some issues just don’t matter. No matter how big! I shared with my husband,, Ron, that a big issue for me with another person is starting to fall away. It feels trivial right now.
      Ron said I must be delirious. 😂
      Some side fun. I ventured out in a town I don’t know…. got a bite so I can last until dinner and got caught in a rain storm to beat most Seattle down pours AND found my way back to the Hostel! Pats on the back for me! One who can’t find her way out of a paper bag. 🤣. I am drenched in 3 blocks!

      🏙️🖼️🧑‍🎨GUGGENHEIM_📷la visita

      September 25, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Visitiamo il 🖼️🧑‍🎨 MUSEO GUGGENHEIM di FRANK GEHRY accedendovi per le 12:00 circa . Sono al momento accessibili solo due dei tre livelli disponibili, uno è infatti in allestimento 😔
      Il museo è ricco di contenuti, tra le altre opere ci perdiamo in particolare tra le monumentali archisculture di RICHARD SERRA dove torniamo un po' bambini. Lo spazio museale della struttura progettata da GEHRY invece delude, come da presagio. La forte immagine, tutta forma, dell'esterno non riesce a trovare all'interno la stessa soluzione di sinuosità, privando le sale di quella purezza e continuità spaziali che un museo di tale spessore meriterebbe. Strutture impattanti e poco disegnate ingabbiano le curve del progetto fino ad annullare completamente la libertà ricercata.
      Alle 14:00 terminiamo la visita.

    • Day 87

      Bilbao

      August 3, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Heute geht es weiter nach Bilbao. Unser letzter Stop bevor die Heimfahrt beginnt und der einzige im Baskenland.
      Wir sind auf einem Stellplatz mit super Aussicht über die Stadt. Heute hat es knapp 40 Grad. Wir verbringen den Nachmittag also am Platz im Schatten und machen uns erst so um 17 Uhr auf dem Weg in die Stadt. Wir fahren mit dem öffentlichen Bus bis ins Zentrum. Der Mercado Central und die Kathedrale gefallen uns nicht besonders gut. Wir gehen weiter und kommen zur "Zubizuri Brücke". Danach gehen wir zum Guggenheim Museum. Hier kann man schon von außen viele Kunstwerke sehen. Wirklich schön!
      Danach geht es auch schon wieder Richtung Bus. Noch ein letztes Mal geht es in unseren geliebten Decathlon, den es in München leider noch nicht gibt. Jetzt genießen wir noch den Blick über die Stadt und gehen dann bald schon ins Bett, da morgen die lange Fahrt ansteht.
