Bilbao Travel Forum

Hi there!

I will be flying from Toronto to Bilbao in a month. The purpose of my trip is to learn Spanish, get to know the people and explore some possibilities for legal stay and employment. So far my on-line search for accommodation and additional information for my stay hasn't been so successful, and I begin to feel a little bit scared. Last year I did fly-and-drive throughout the Costas, but there was so much information in English and the rest was easy.
I would be extremely grateful for your feedback, please share your thoughts, recommendations and maybe some first hand experiences.

Thanks in advance !
