I created this tour out of my need to talk about women, as mostly we talk about famous, distinguished men, but we never talk about neither distinguished nor everyday women. Seems like women are not really important, yet they are, much so. Coming to live to Bilbao, I heard so many beautiful stories about its women and at that time I realised that I wanted to share some of these stories with the travellers who would do also. This is a tour about the ones I love in Bilbao, its special part of the city, the Guggenheim Effect and its women. This tour is recommended to women who are proud of being women, and to men who love women or simply, would like to know about them.
