It’s a family-friendly, medium-sized place with a healthy atmosphere” , says the designer. “When I’ve been out, I’ve realised that it’s a wonderful city, with wide spaces to walk around. When I come back, I always say to myself: there is no place like Bilbao”, he adds.

And, of course, it’s not just about the landscape or the heritage, it’s also about the people. “The atmosphere, for instance, at weekends, in the area around the bars of the Portugalete town hall is very pleasant; my acquaintances who often come here tell me that they love it. The truth is that it is one of my refuges. Whenever I can get away, I can be found in that area”, he stresses.

In Bilbao, he is usually in the Casco Viejo. “Also in Ledesma and Muelle de Ripa”, he says.“And I love the Sunday Flower Market in the sheds of El Arenal in Bilbao. I love flowers. And I make the most of it to have a drink in Plaza Nueva, especially if it’s winter or a light day, when it’s nice but cold, I think it’s a great plan”, he concludes.
