【Bilbao】This place, whether it is the new city or the old city, is beautiful and a good place. I bought gas in Spain and found it was half cheaper than in France. I felt like I finally got gas at a reasonable price. No wonder the yellow vests in France were going to smash, smash, loot and burn, but after all the trouble, gas prices still haven’t come down‍♀️ At that time, I had the urge to fill every empty bottle in the car and take it back to France.
