My recent stay in Bilbao is the subject of a blog elsewhere on this site. It was alsoeported in Althetic Club of Bilbao’s magazine. An no, I haven’t been recruited by ETA. I just love Basque food and wine, the company of friends, andd local football’s deep cultural roots and enduring belief in home-grown talent.
