A white coffee or a cup of tea, cupcakes, bread and butter, scones and cream…Afternoon tea a delicious tradition which reminds us of good friends and times spent chatting over a nice cup of tea whilst enjoying a light piece of sponge cake. If you are in Bilbao and want to maintain the tradition or simply relax for a while before sightseeing in the streets of Bilbao, here are a few of our favourite Cafes in Bilbao.

Years ago if you mentioned you were going to Bilbao, the normal response would be why. Why would you want to visit the dirty Industrial city of Bilbao when there are so many other beautiful places along the Basque coastline to explore, say San Sebastian for example? Well things have changed, no longer is it that Industrial city instead it is a modern, exciting city boasting world class museums and modern architecture whilst maintaining a firm grip on its roots and traditions.

One of the main attractions in Bilbao is the typical pinchos, miniature works of art that will most definitely win over your taste buds. Almost all the bars in the city’s taverns are full of these little snacks. So, what better way of adjusting to the local customs than visiting the taverns there to try out some of the pinchos and have a nice wine?
