Exploring the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao

Posted on March 27, 2025April 8, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Back in 2020, I visited the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, but as with any museum, a lot of the exhibitions have changed. The Guggenheim Museum is a beautiful building, both inside and out. The outside looks like scales of metal, with different statues and structures around the outside. At the front, there is a giant dog covered in flowers, at the back a large spider creature and a bunch of silver balls all stacked up on top of each other. Just going around the outside is beautiful. At the time that I went to the museum, there were a lot of fantastic exhibitions to take a look at as well.

Finding Vegan Food at Margarito Grill Market

Posted on February 14, 2025February 28, 2025 by Jupiter

While in Bilbao, Spain, one of the big struggles for the group of friends I was hanging out with was vegan options. There just isn’t a lot of places that have lots of nice vegan dishes that are ready to eat! Margarito Grill Market, however, has more vegan options then it has meat options, which was quite a fantastic discovery. The main menu worked in a way where you selected a main meal, sauce, then two sides, which could create some interesting combinations! There were also burger options or salads if you preferred that. All of the food at Margarito Grill Market felt very fresh, clean and healthy.

Spending a few days at Ercilla de Bilbao

Posted on February 5, 2025February 19, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to staying in a hotel, you’ll want to make sure somewhere that is enjoyable. Ercilla de Bilbao is a fantastic choice, right in the center of Bilbao. From the moment we went towards the entrance, which is set down, as if walking into some underground sanctuary. The staff at the entrance was very welcoming, quickly checking in everyone (as a bunch of us had arrived at the same time). If you have a lot of luggage, they are happy to bring it right to your room!

Group Dinner at Casa Rufo

Posted on January 16, 2025February 5, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] I spent some time in Bilbao, Spain – where I was recommended a few places to eat, including Casa Rufo. Casa Rufo is sort of like a deli when you walk in; there are cans of different fancy ingredients and a deli display, which had a bunch if items that would go great in some sort of hamper. The inside had tons of wine racks, with lots of bottles of wine sticking out. It feels rustic and quite like a hidden gem, where you would find a bunch of small plates and fantastic wine. Thankfully, one of the members of staff did speak English, so it was very easy to order as well.

Wasabi Bilbao – Japanese Restaurant | Review

Posted on September 10, 2020February 5, 2025 by Jupiter

While in Bilbao, Spain, I had the opportunity to eat loads of traditional food from that area. Soon, I took a break to try some of my favorite food; Japanese. Nearby the Guggenheim Museum, there was a restaurant called Wasabi Bilbao- featuring a beautiful looking menu that I just couldn’t pass up. This, as it turns out, was a very good choice when it came to some very delicious food.
