The streets in this space, which takes in the Bilbao la Vieja, San Francisco and Zabala districts, are covered with urban wall art and a very interesting collection of architecture. The barrio of San Francisco lies just south of Abando and is an immigrant area, a very lively neighborhood. #Architecture #Bilbao #Spain
