Why choose Bilbao to learn Spanish?

Bilbao is an ideal destination for adults who want to study Spanish in an authentic and inspiring environment. Located in the heart of the Basque Country, the city offers a perfect mix of tradition, striking architecture, and a lively Spanish atmosphere. Once a major industrial port, Bilbao has reinvented itself into a cultural and culinary hotspot.

One of its most iconic landmarks is the Guggenheim Museum, known for its bold contemporary architecture. But there’s much more to explore – wander through the picturesque old town, Casco Viejo, and discover charming alleyways lined with cozy cafés, boutique shops, and historical sites. Don’t miss the chance to savor the famous Basque cuisine, especially the delicious pintxos – small bites packed with flavor and creativity, found in nearly every bar.

Explore the surroundings of Bilbao

Bilbao’s location is just as impressive as the city itself. Surrounded by green hills and only a short drive from the northern Spanish coastline, it’s easy to combine your Spanish lessons with nature and relaxation. Spend your afternoons on the beach at Playa de Sopelana, a favorite among surfers and sun-seekers, or explore scenic hiking trails in places like the breathtaking Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve – perfect for nature lovers and outdoor adventures.
