Bilbao

Popped in briefly to take a whirl around the Guggenheim Art Gallery. Pictures of the titanium structure don´t do it justice - it really is something to behold. As was the ginormous flower cat outside ~ photo to follow ... The art works inside however, did need a bit of explanation; when someone talks about the "spirituality of concrete" I smell a rat. Anselm Kiefer also takes his inspiration from stairs ... enough said. We continue our philistine´s tour around Europe apace ...

[other random Bilbao thoughts - pretty ugly city after San Sebastian, although it does have the odd pretty bit... and up to this point we were wondering if there was any parking in Europe; things have improved since]
