In winter, the temperature rarely drops below +5 ° C, and in summer it rises to +35 ° C. Throughout the year, the amount of precipitation is distributed almost evenly, so it is impossible to distinguish a drier period.

Hail in Bilbao is a frequent visitor, but snowy winters are rare here.

Moderate temperatures, beautiful green hills, clean mountain air, fields dotted with wild flowers - all this cannot but attract attention. Bilbao was originally an ordinary fishing village, founded by Diego Lopez V de Aro in 1300. It took seven centuries for a small village to become a huge industrial and economically developed metropolis. A good location allowed the city to become one of the largest ports that Spain can boast of.
