Stories of Women in Bilbao

The Stories of Women tour takes place in one of the most romantic and relaxing parts of Bilbao, the Paseo de la Memoria, when the light goes down and the walk becomes even more atmospheric.

It is dedicated to the lives of both well-known and lesser-known women connected to Bilbao, and to how their stories are linked to the city’s history. The Paseo de la Memoria serves as the backdrop, creating the calm needed to listen, reflect, and understand their legacy.

I created this tour out of a need to talk about women, because we so often talk about men while women’s contributions remain in the background. After moving to Bilbao, I heard many beautiful stories about local women, and I wanted to share these stories with travelers too.
