    [Scenery] This is the place with the most Michelin restaurants per capita. The weather is good and different every day. It is very photogenic. One day is too rushed. It is recommended to spend three days to play. There are not many Chinese people living here. I am one of them. Occasionally, I get aesthetic fatigue, but every day is different. It is old money style. Girls can bring more colorful clothes to check in.

    San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is a mini island with a St. John's Church built in the 9th century. To get to the island from the mainland, you first need to cross a beautiful arch bridge and then climb the "S" path of 241 steps. Everyone who climbs to the church can ring the bell three times and make three wishes. There are two ways to the church, the shorter one is difficult to walk, and the longer one is an asphalt road. You can choose the short way down the mountain and the long way up the mountain. This is also the filming location of "Game of Thrones (VII)", Dragonstone Island where Daenerys was born, it is beautiful enough. Highly recommended!

    I like this town very much. The whole city architecture is very thoughtful, and there are many famous sculptures. The coastline scenery is perfect, the sea and sky are one color, it is definitely not inferior to Barcelona, ​​and the key is that there are fewer people here.

    The cable ferry bridge transports vehicles and pedestrians to the other side of the river through a huge bridge box. You can also take the elevator to the top of the bridge, walk on it, and enjoy the entire cityscape of Bilbao. The one-way ticket price is 4.5€.

    Santiago Cathedral, I like the colorful glazed glass on the top of the building the most. Various gorgeous colors are combined together to outline different charms. This colorful glazed light fascinates me, as if God is giving you a glimpse through this colorful light. The afternoon sun refracts into the room through the glass, allowing you to glimpse the world. Beyond the material world seen by the naked eye, there is pure light, colorless light, and light is the path projected into the three-dimensional world. Sitting on the bench in the church, closing my eyes, listening to the sound from the sky, my heart is unusually calm. In the world, occasionally, I feel a space beyond the material world. This transcendence is precious.
