Bilbao is a medium sized city of the Basque Country in Spain, in its eastern Atlantic watershed, just 80 miles away from the French Border. It covers an area of 41.6 square kilometres and its present population is about 360000. Its impressive transportation infrastructure connects it to the rest of Europe by air, land and sea.

Bilbao is the core of a metropolitan area with more than one million inhabitants. Since its foundation, more than 700 years ago, it has been the fundamental factor and the main socio-economic axis around which the Vizcaya region has set its modernisation process in motion.
