Workation in Bilbao: the essentials
Shipyards and steelworks once lined the Nervión estuary, and the Guggenheim Museum, opened in 1997, became the symbol of Bilbao's turn away from them. About 347,000 people live in the city and over a million in its metropolitan area, which makes it the economic centre of the Basque Country, with two universities and a solid coworking market. Evenings revolve around pintxos in the Casco Viejo. Two ranges of hills enclose the centre and the rain is a fact of life in every season. The metro runs out to the Bay of Biscay at Getxo and Sopela, about 16 km away, and Bilbao Airport is about 5 km from town.

Bilbao has far more coworking than the two OSM entries suggest, including incubators such as Auzo Factory La Cantera and chains in the city centre. Fibre is standard and the city is well connected by metro. Rainy climate, but mild year-round.
Spaces come from OpenStreetMap (10 km radius); prices are AI estimates for typical offers in town – please check with the provider before booking. As of September 2026.
