* 21:00 Meet at the Bilbao bar, Plaza Barria or Plaza Nueva

- Thursday, 23rd of July. Visit to the Guggenheim museum (included in registration). 18:30-20:00. Meeting: Guggenheim museum, at the entrance looking at the river (not the main entrance of the museum), where we will meet the guide. It is really important to be on time, because the museum closes at 20:00.
