I've been three times in the cool area of the north coast, the first ones when pictures were an expensive privilege, demanding films, development and tons of disappointment, when, back home, all the technical mistakes revealed in the final works.
The third one was already carrying a primitive digital camera, but in a professional trip, without time to much tourism. I remember the excellent impression of San Sebastian, the emotion in Altamira caves, by Santander, and a night slept in Bilbao. I kept the curious name (for us) of Portugalete, in the way back home, and it was all. Nowadays, Fernanda recovered the enthusiasm for photo, and that opens new opportunities. When will I return? Well, not planed yet, but soon... |

Gugenheim
It didn't exist when I made my two visits to Bilbao, but Tito went there and brought pictures enough to open my apetite. It is in the priority list. |

Altamira caves were so frequently mentioned in my student's life that, being near, we couldn't skip it, despite the long lines.
It is a small space, and back home, I read that it is a copy of the original, to preserve the figures. It's a wise solution that we must respect, but it implies some frustration, because copies there were many in our books |

Ayuntamiento
For many years (it was taken in 1971) I considered thia photo as my souvenir from Bilbao. Checking again to avoid mistakes, I realized that it is really in Santander. No problem, it remains nice, with its typical Spanish look, and the confusion reinforces the need to return to this area. |
