Tucson is the second largest city of Arizona State in the United States of America. It is a city with more than 500,000 residents. Many of the tourists who visit Tucson do so because of its beautiful Sonoran desert as one of the most vibrant and diverse deserts in the entire world. It has a lot in store for the children as well with its Sense of Place: A Trip Around Tucson interactive exhibit, a mini canyon as well as other landmark pointers in the city. On the other hand, the Saguaro National Parks East & West, or the pine forests of the Mt. Lemmon or the Colossal Cave Mountain Park are good options for the explorer in you. History, art, shopping or any other genre of life, Tucson will sure to surprise you with its variety and elasticity to accommodate different kinds of people.
Like most other significant city in the USA, Tucson is well-connected to important cities and countries across the globe. Especially, when it comes to Europe, Americans are always eager to explore as many destinations as you possibly can in your lifetime. Bilbao is among those much-explored destinations. A city in northern Spain surrounded by green mountain, it is the de facto capital of Basque Country. The museum houses and the titanium-built houses are prominent contemporary works which grab eye-ball of the visitors in the city.
Tucson to Bilbao flights is available from Tucson International Airport (TUS) to Bilbao Airport (BIO) and as per recent records the price of the flight tickets for one side trip was around. $27.
Uniqueness is loaded in everything regarding the Basque Country. The very existence of the nationalism is related to the regional pride of the people of the area. But it is not the only thing that is unique in this situation. The culture of the region is primarily characterized by unique traditions, including Euskara, the spoken language in the Basque Country. It predates the Romans and, even more interestingly, it bears no relation to languages spoken in other parts of Europe.
When we are talking about all the interesting factors that will make you go to the Spanish city the ‘Stairway to Heaven’ is one choice you. A hike of 241 steps, down a steep hill and across the Bay of Biscay the zigzag path will sure to enthrall you as you try to decide whether to enjoy the hike, the path or the scenery on front of you. At the top of the stairs, at the end of your journey you come in front of the ‘castle rock’ which is an appropriate landmark for the Basque culture.
If you have less than enough time in hand and can’t go exploring the whole of the country and would only want to stick to Bilbao, there is still plenty you can enjoy. Architectural wonders are spread across the length and breadth of the city of Bilbao. If the Nervión is situated as a memoir of the once industrial city of Bilbao, there are other pieces of architectural work in contemporary times to provide tough competition to the work of the bygone days, like the Azkuna Zentroa, a wine storage warehouse turned cultural centre; or the neo-baroque theatre, art nouveau train station, and may other cathedrals which is entice you with their elegance and appearance.
Cultural influence of the Basque country and city, as we have discussed a little before as well, is a tale in itself. There are museums like the Euskal Museoa and the Arkeologi Museo. These collection houses have specimens from as far back as the Middle Ages and also tokens of ancient Basque carvings in the city museums; whereas, at the San Mamés stadium you see cent percent Basque nationals playing their hearts’ out on the field.
The cobbled-street old town is a place where you can find all kinds of eateries and all sorts of food which the foodie in you can fully relish. There are Michelin-star restaurants, Pincho bars as well as long family-run restaurant businesses which have been there for generations. Take your pick ad enjoy your evening.
The very introduction of Bilbao may feel like you have reached the tangible heavens. The entire city is covered with lush green hill which is both a guard and a witness to the daily chores of the city. While the city center is strewn with the parks and plazas, the outer ring is filled with ornamental; moreover, the riverside actually gives a fine view of the cityscape. If you have a spare day and just want to relax the Getxo beaches and the magnificent cliffs standing there makes the perfect spot for a day’s outing.
