We came for the Guggenheim Museum, and Wow! what a building. We spent hours wandering round it, enjoying the sensual curves, the play of light, the changing colours. The Guggenheim is closed on Mondays but that did not matter, there was so much outside.

On Tuesday we went in and explored the innards. Some lovely works, and some of the art is on a massive scale. We also did part of the “bridge” walk, along the river. There are lots of bridges and lovely riverside walks including lots of great street art and sculptures. The old town is also interesting. Lots to see when we go back.
