I was so lucky that the day we went to see the bridge (it was the same day as the Lezama visit!) the weather was warm and amazing. The sun came out, and that made the pics of the Portugalete side not so good because of the glare! That's why I didn't post any. :(
But yeah...there were a few clouds when we came down on the Getxo side which allowed me to look back towards Portugalete and take the pic from below. I think it turned out well too.
I still remember the six pintxos I ate! But they were small, so I wasn't too sick-feeling after. LOL. I have since tried to duplicate them at home, with varying results.
Do you remember that in the Tryp Hotel there was a big book on Bilbao that had a sign on it: 'Please Do Not Remove This Book'? I didn't, of course, but I forgot to write down the address where you could order it for yourself. I could kick myself for that! I think that inside were some recipes for pintxos, although I know I can find some online. :)
Actually, those people were sitting outside in DECEMBER! XDDD
I could kick myself also for not going into the Cafe Bar Bilbao! Oh well, next time I will do all the things I kicked myself for NOT doing this time!!! :)
Are you still planning to go back in February? I won't be able to go back until at least early 2012 and I am not going in winter again! Because of the weather here, not there! And finances, of course, unless I win a lottery or something!
