In the tour, we will talk about history and architecture, but mainly we will visit a lot of very old shops and restaurants, most of them not touristic at all, the places where the local people prefer for their everyday needs. Within some five hours , or a little bit more, depending on the breaks, we'll follow the local people in their everyday life in Bilbao.
