he transformation process experienced by Bilbao Bizkaia is clearly visible as you wander around the city and the green
spaces surrounding it. You can enjoy avant-garde architecture which happily lives alongside a deeply-rooted identity that
is evident in the area’s heritage, culture and cuisine.
A consequence of this coexistence is the commerce now available, ranging from
traditional shops selling local products to stores displaying the latest trends in their win-
dows. They are all establishments that will make your shopping experience truly unique.
This leaflet aims to offer a sample of all of this. An invitation to enjoy the tourist attractions
the area has to offer and to take the opportunity to have a look around the interesting
stores you’ll find along the way.
In Bilbao Bizkaia you can purchase all the products that make this place so unique, and we
are keen for you to take a little of our way of being with you.
