Bilbao and design go together like cheese and chorizo. Not only is the Spanish city home to the spectacular structure that is the Guggenheim Museum, but its metro gateways were also designed by the famous architect Norman Foster. Bilbao-Abando – originally called North Station – is beautiful in its own right. It’s dominated by a 33 foot (10m) high stained-glass window, illustrating the history of the city. Among the fisherman and steel works, you might spot the Basilica of Begona and San Anton Bridge.
