Bilbao BBK Live 2012

[psmith98752]

Hi, I'll be at Bilbao BBK this year (first festival abroad). There's two of us coming from Glasgow (via London Stansted to Santander - 2pm with Ryanair) and meeting a friend out there who's been living in Spain.

Would be great to meet up with fellow British/English speaking people. I'd want to see Bilbao during the day but have a feeling the other 2 I'm with will be sleeping for most of it!

Does anyone know what campsite to go to that's got shade - what it's called in Spanish so we can look out for the signposts?

Yeah, does anyone have à clu about how to get there ? I live in Barcelona and is going to take the nasty 7hours train .. Or like i would call it 7hours pre-party on My own!

Is it far away from bilbao city? The festival will say

Hello, just packing for BBk, very excited! Quick question - is there any chance I'll need wellies or will trainers suffice?

[JimboNagasaki]

This is only a relatively small festival so not difficult to navigate camp sites etc. From what i remember there are limited stalls, so wouldn't rely on picking up tent pegs etc on site. rather I'd go into Bilbao town centre. The festival runs buses to and fro or we walked which is all downhill (uphill on the way back haha) and takes about half hour. The main bus runs between Bilbao football stadium and the festival.

The weather isn't looking great for the Wednesday but I refuse to take wellies. Come say hello if you see a guy with one mud caked van - that'll be me.

Eeekkk! Packing! I also refuse to take Wellies too!

See the map earlier in the thread to have an idea of the shaded bit, theres a real life pub on the site! were hoping to camp near there under a tree. We plan on parking up then getting the first available shuttle bus. Say hi if you see us (4 little Geordies).

There's a map on the website with 3 campsites (numbered 1 to 3), which is the one with shade?

[ilikespecialcake]

We think its number 2 after comparing maps

[psmith98752]

Yes it does look like number 2, thanks. Bit of a walk to the showers in the morning then!
