We could tell you that this will be your spacious, comfortable and bright home in Bilbao, but you can already see that in the photographs. That's why we want to tell you what you may not know. Under your feet will be La Viña del Ensanche, one of the most famous bars in the city, and in front of another: the Globo bar and its famous txangurro pintxo. This way you will live on a part of the Bilbao soul.
