There’s a light drizzle here called the sirimin which you are likely to meet on your trip.

The wettest periods of the year, according to annual weather reports for Bilbao Spain, are April-May and October-December.

Luckily it never gets depressingly cold or dark, at least not for a long time.

Snow is rare in Bilbao, which is quite special if you – like me – come from Sweden. We do see a snowflake occasionally, but if you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, you’re definitely at the wrong address.

Still the Bilbainos know how to enjoy the winter. In fact, it’s one of my favourite seasons.
