Bilbao, Day 2 — Part 2 – Soccer and the Old Town
Today is a big day for soccer in Bilbao — the 2024 UEFA Women’s Champions League final is being held at San Mamés Stadium. The tram into town was jammed with fans wearing team gear, singing chants and ready for a good time. When I walked back to the hotel from the Guggenheim, the streets were filled with revelers – the Catalan women had won the tournament. This is an incredibly happy city tonight.
