Oh my goodness, it may give you the opportunity to visit! If so, do not miss it. Bilbao is the secret backdoor to Spain. Normally people visiting Spain would think to fly into Madrid or maybe Barcelona. But for me, I always choose Bilbao. Surprisingly easy (and often cheap!) to fly into, with connecting flight in Amsterdam. The airport is very mellow and really lovely. Very helpful workers. Renting a car at the Bilbao airport is easy if you want to explore. If you want to make it into a total vacation, go stay in the Parador hotels! (if you are not familiar with the Paradores, they are incredibly affordable luxury hotels located in National Historic buildings like castles, monasteries, etc. )
