Have arrived in Bilbao, Basque territory

Came into Bilbao on the toll road this afternoon. Could not believe the toll (17.75 euros!) from Burgos (about a 2hr drive). Well, yes, the condition of the road is excellent, but that is a higher toll than we Americans are used to!
We were excited to see, just before arriving into Bilbao, the sign indicating the Orozco valley. (its spelled a little differently here, Orosko), but still, its our ancestry! We´ll explore some of the valley tomorrow.
But first, need to find a place to stay here in this region next to the shores of the Atlantic.

    1. Hola Sergio,
      Sorry I just saw your comment although it was left quite some time ago. I'm happy to share the info I have learned through my own genealogy research. You can email me at pocronin@gmail.com
