Today for this architecture entry, we will take a walk
I will introduce you to the city center, its heart, its old buildings and a bit of history.
It's sunday and the day is good
Hoy para esta entrada de arquitectura, daremos un paseo
Os presentaré el centro de la ciudad, su corazón, sus edificios antiguos y un poco de historia.
Es domingo y el día es bueno.
We move to 700 years ago when the city was not a city and the 7 streets were made up of walls and three streets.
Don Diego López de Haro was the lord of Vizcaya.
The old town was the area dedicated to merchandise, where merchants sold their treasures brought from far away.
Today dedicated to small shops, bars and, of course, great restaurants.
Nos trasladamos a 700 años atrás cuando la ciudad no era ciudad y las 7 calles la componían unas murallas y tres calles.
Don diego López de Haro era el señor de Vizcaya.
El casco viejo era la zona dedicada a las mercancías, donde los comerciantes vendían sus tesoros traídos de muy lejos.
Hoy en día dedicada a pequeñas tiendas, bares y como no podía faltar grandes restaurantes.
A wall and various towers would surround that Bilbao until almost the year 1500.
Today those walls do not exist and the streets began to be added one after another, all with special names of the guilds that were dedicated to the same merchandise.
Names of the 7 streets
Shallow
Artecalle
Would tend
Belosticalle
Old Butcher Shop
Barrenkalle
Barrenkale Auger
At the rear of its buildings was integrated the wall that surrounded the First Bilbao and that measured 6 meters high and two wide.
We could say that the old town began there, but it was not there but in the church of San Antón.
This is where I have walked my life as a Christian.
It may also be that the love for the Gothic comes from there since it is his style.
Built in the 15th century, where a market of fluvial articles used to be located
It was a construction with a single nave, a rectangular floor plan and a vaulted roof.
Her interior always seemed a bit bare to me, but she is great in her smallness.
Una muralla y diversas torres envolverían a aquel Bilbao hasta casi el año 1500.
Hoy en día esas murallas no existen y las calles empezaron a sumarse una tras otra todas con nombres especiales de los gremios que se dedicaban a la misma mercancía
Nombres de las 7 calles
Somera
Artecalle
Tendería
Belosticalle
Carnicería Vieja
Barrenkalle
Barrenkale Barrena
En la parte trasera de sus edificios se integraba la muralla que rodeaba el Primer Bilbao y que medía 6 metros de alto y dos de ancho.
Podíamos decir que ahí empezaba el casco viejo, pero no era ahí sino en la iglesia de San Antón.
Aquí es donde he recorrido mi vida de cristiana.
Puede ser también que dé ahí me venga la afición por lo gótico ya que es su estilo.
Construida en el siglo XV , donde antes se ubicaba una lonja de artículos fluviales
Se trataba de una construcción de una sola nave, planta rectangular y cubierta abovedada.
Su interior siempre me pareció un poco desnudo, pero ella es grande en su pequeñez.
But before all that she was always important to believers and non-believers.
With the bridge that she has at her feet and she herself forms the shield of my city.
You can see that the stones of it are very damaged by the passage of centuries, the water that runs next to it and some floods that we had years ago.
Pero antes de todo eso ella siempre fue importante para creyentes y no creyentes.
Con el puente que tiene en sus pies y ella misma forman el escudo de mi ciudad.
Podéis apreciar que sus piedras están muy dañadas por el paso de los siglos el agua que corre a su lado y unas inundaciones que tuvimos hace años.

In 1983 it was the great flood and this building is next to the river so you can imagine how it was.
It was the biggest natural catastrophe in our city
But they renewed it and is now a benchmark for the fresh produce market and bars where you can eat all the variety of food you can imagine.
A su lado está la plaza del mercado.
En 1983 fue la gran riada y este edificio está junto al río así que podéis imaginar como quedó.
Fue la mayor catástrofe natural de nuestra ciudad
Pero la renovaron siendo ahora un referente de mercado de productos frescos y de bares donde puedes comer toda la variación de comida que imagines.
I leave you a map so that you can locate yourself.
Shallow formerly dedicated to warehouses.
I remember when I was little that it was the coldest street in Bilbao and where they kept bananas and all the merchandise that needed cold.
Nowadays the bar area and the poteo that is what we call to meet friends and have a drink.
Os dejo un mapa para que os situéis.
Somera antiguamente dedicada a los almacenes.
Me acuerdo de pequeña que era la calle más fría de Bilbao y donde guardaban los plátanos y todas las mercancías que necesitaran frio.
Hoy en día la zona de bares y el poteo que es como llamamos nosotros a quedar con los amigos y tomar algo.
In the center of the old town.
You enter through some arches going up some stairs
There we find a large square with its arches, also in a neoclassical style, jajá classics like us with the food, the Pintxos and the bars.
Built in the 19th century, an area of 3,400 meters and it was inaugurated in 1851
All surrounded by half pointed arches, 18 arches on two of the sides and 15 on the remaining two.
The material was ashlar stone and golden sandstone.
Formerly it had a garden in the center, but now it has a parking lot on its ground floor that was incompatible with the gardens, so a recreation area was created that we are all grateful for and of which you have already seen many photos.
But I leave you the atmosphere of this Sunday.
En el centro del casco antiguo.
Se entra por unos arcos subiendo unas escaleras
Hay nos encontramos una gran plaza con sus arcos, también de estilo neoclásico, jájá clásicos como nosotros con la comida los Pintxos y los bares.
Construida en el siglo XIX, superficie de 3.400 metros y se inauguró en 1851
Toda rodeada de arcos de media punta, 18 arcos en dos de los lados y 15 en los dos restantes.
El material fue piedra de sillería y arenisca dorada.
Antiguamente tenía un jardín en el centro, pero ahora en sus bajos tiene un parquing que era incompatible con los jardines, así que se creó una zona de esparcimiento que todos agradecemos y de la que ya habéis visto muchas fotos.
Pero os dejo el ambiente de este domingo .

BEER.Más que un paseo, podría decirse que en mi casa has hecho que abriera el baúl de los recuerdos y volviera a perderme otra vez por esas maravillosas calles, llenas de sabor y tradición, en cuya estructura todavía se advierte esa milenaria distribución medieval, cuyas calles, inevitablemente desembocan en la catedral. El mercado tradicional, al lado de la Ría, como no podía ser de otra manera, como antesala a esa iglesia de San Antón cuyos cimientos, como sabes y porque en parte están descubiertos, son de origen prerrománico y tan antiguos como los primeros asentamientos. Además, es un paseo por la historia de la arquitectura, donde no sólo se aprecian esas antiguas reliquias medievales, sino también ese estilo modernista que causó furor a finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. Muchas gracias por tan extraordinario recorrido.
More than a walk, it could be said that in my house you have made me open the trunk of memories and lose myself again through those wonderful streets, full of flavor and tradition, in whose structure that millenary medieval distribution is still noticed, whose streets , inevitably flow into the cathedral. The traditional market, next to the Ría, how could it be otherwise, as a prelude to that church of San Antón whose foundations, as you know and because they are partly discovered, are of pre-Romanesque origin and as old as the first settlements. In addition, it is a walk through the history of architecture, where not only those old medieval relics are appreciated, but also that modernist style that caused a sensation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thank you very much for such an extraordinary tour.
Sabes que estoy orgullosa de mi ciudad y es un placer volvértela a enseñar.
Lo de San Antón tienes razón y es la iglesia más emblemática.
Donde he tenido toda mi vida cristiana en ella y donde tengo que ir un día de estos , debó una vela a ama y una plegaria.
Pero dejemos lo triste y piquemos un Pintxo con un buen txakoli y brindemos por un buen viaje
Feliz semana juankar
You know that I am proud of my city and it is a pleasure to teach it to you again.
You are right about San Antón and it is the most emblematic church.
Where I have had all my Christian life in it and where I have to go one of these days, he owed a candle to mistress and a prayer.
But let's leave the sad and have a Pintxo with a good txakoli and let's toast to a good trip
Happy week juankar

How beautiful is the city! It's like living in art and culture. The colours all around, the historic exteriors with all those mouldings, cornices etc the fascinating streets with pathways. Even the markets are beautiful. How interesting it would be to live in a place like this!
@txatxy keep on sharing your wonderful works of photography and experiences.
Hello
Hahaha I guess your city is also beautiful and will have its interesting things.
I love mine and I suppose it is reflected in the entries.
I hope you have a nice week
Hello friend. It's with great pleasure to be introduced to the heart of your beautiful city center of Bilbao! If I'd be strolling along the historic streets of your metropolis, I'd definitely take my time, immerse in the cultural heritage, and absorb all the interesting stories behind the remarkable architectural landmarks it has to offer. I'm glad to see that the urban commercial areas there are opening up despite the strict restrictions of the pandemic. Wish you the best of health and take care always @txatxy!
Hi friend @storiesoferne
Here the trade has been open for a long time, almost everything.
This area that I have presented to you since the pandemic is a bit sad, as it is a traditional trade, many have had to permanently close other stores that have been transformed for tourists and souvenirs.
But overall for those of us who know the area it is a bit sad, people no longer go out so happily to the streets
I always tell you that you would have great moments and that after seeing concrete architecture, you would taste food architecture haha.
That if you would carry a few extra kilos on your belly haha
Happy week
Oh yeah, eating real food outside in social areas and restaurants is definitely a happy routine. But for now, let's just fill our stomachs with virtual architecture haha. It's simply better to be safe than sorry. Have a great week!
Well done @txatxy! We're happy to inform you that this publication was specially curated and awarded the GOLD MARK in Architecture Brew #31. Congratulations!

Hi @txatxy The virtual tour of your city was beautiful and set a desire within me of exploring the city. The lovely streets with those people playing music, I could feel the happiness and enjoyment through that picture. The architectural aspect of the city is so heart warming and beautiful.
What a commendable publications.
Have a great week:)
Hola txatxy, me he sentido con mucha nostalgia por no haber ido a Bilbao cuando estuve viviendo en Espana (Barcelona) por varios anos. De hecho mi bisabuelo era de San Sebastian, ciudad que si tuve la dicha de conocer, y deberia haber ido a conocer esa exquisita ciudad
que afortunadamente usted nos ha hecho recorrer virtualmente. Gracias por su post y espero poder seguirle en sus proximas publicaciones. Me faltan los acentos y la n con tilde. Disculpe, lo resolvere para la proxima vez
