Conservatory

Bilbao's a really nice city for its details. If Bilbao were a person, it would be that house wife that puts really nice imported handsoap in the bathroom, and sachets of lavender under the pillows in the guest room. If Bilbao had a CV, it could list "attention to detail" as one of its personal qualities.

Allow me to give an example. The block that contains the entrance to the Sarriko metro station is also home to the slick and super modern conservatory of music, and a kind of urban park/promenade, a descending series of cement steps, trees and benches. Running the length of the park are these metre-high metal posts that have speakers inside. I think they're connected to a stereo inside the conservatory somewhere, because there's classical music coming out of them all day. As you walk the length of the park, you get symphonies and piano sonatas in stereo. Awesome.
