Echoes in the Labyrinth: A Journey Through Bilbao's Casco Viejo

Unveiling the Soul of a City in its Ancient Streets and Sacred Stones

Bilbao, Spain

While Bilbao's futuristic sheen often captures the world's attention, its true genesis, the very soul of the city, resides in the enchanting maze of Casco Viejo. It was only this spring, on a luminous Basque afternoon, that I first stepped into the embrace of Bilbao's Casco Viejo. Leaving behind the wide, gleaming avenues of the newer city, I felt an almost immediate shift in the air, a palpable sense of entering a different epoch.
