If you go to Bilbao I can recommend a cracking hotel in Santutzi which is the ferry port for Bilbao... 20 minutes on metro €2.20 each way, into Central Bilbao, €160 half board including a cracking 5 course meal.... metro goes right past Bilbao ground...
Thanks. I’m going to wait until they confirm a KO time and then decide where to go if anywhere but Bilbao is favourite.
