About this experience

Take a photographic walk with me through the city of Bilbao, the city with an industrial past and the present where art is for everyone.
I will take your photos in the most emblematic places on the banks of the Nervión River, near the Guggenheim Museum, one of the most important in the world and without a doubt the most photogenic. We will pass through the bridges of Bilbao. I will show you the artistic bohema neighborhood. We will take photos at the background of more interesting graffiti, at the same time I will tell you the secrets of this city that few people know.
We can go into a typical Basque bar and sit on the terrace, have a coffee or a glass of txakoli with Micehlin star pintxo.
As a result, you will get professional, high-resolution photos, treated and digitally enhanced, available in a private gallery in 20 days. We explore the charms of Bilbao while creating memories that will last a lifetime. Make your trip an unforgettable experience!
