Cheap car hire at Bilbao Airport - Spain in a rental car

Bilbao Airport is the main airport of the autonomous Basque Country in northern Spain. With the inscreasing number of tourists arriving to Bilbao, especially since the inauguration of the splendid Guggenheim Museum (picture), the outdated existing airport facilities was replaced by a new main terminal building.

Famous for the original design by Santiago Calatrava, beautiful and unpractical at the same time, Bilbao Airport consists of two symmetrical wings, resembling a dove, for which it is frequently called "La Paloma" in Spain.
