Up in Irala, a walk from the Guggenheim

Zuberoa Etorbidea 46 · 48012 Bilbao. About 1.9 km — a 25–30 minute walk up from the Guggenheim, or a few minutes from Ametzola station.

On foot from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

The walk, step by step

The classic way in — on foot from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. It's a proper walk, about 1.9 km and half an hour on foot, mostly up one street. Start at the museum's main entrance, river side, where Puppy the flower dog stands guard.

Turn your back to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Stand at the main entrance of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, with the river and the titanium curves behind you, facing the city. Find Calle Iparraguirre, the street that climbs away from the museum.

Start · Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Head straight up Iparraguirre

Walk up Calle Iparraguirre, away from the river. Cross Gran Vía at Plaza Moyúa and keep going through Abando and Indautxu — one long, steady line.

≈ 1.2 km · 18 minutes

On into Errekalde & Irala

The big avenues give way to the quieter, lower streets of the Errekalde district. Bear up into the Irala quarter and onto Zuberoa Etorbidea.

We're at number 46

G cafe Bilbao is on Zuberoa Etorbidea 46 — look for the dark-green awning, the little terrace, and the day's grill chalked up by the door. Most mornings you'll catch the grill before you spot the sign.

Other ways in

However you're arriving

Train

From Ametzola (Cercanías · Euskotren)

The quickest hop. From Ametzola station it's a flat 10–12 minute walk — through Ametzola park and up Ugalde Kalea into Irala, about 850 m to our door.

Metro

From Indautxu or Moyúa (L1 · L2)

The metro gets you most of the way. From Indautxu it's roughly a 12–15 minute walk up through Autonomía into Irala; from Moyúa, just follow Calle Iparraguirre as in the walk above. We're on Zuberoa Etorbidea 46.

By car

Parking in Irala

Come in off the N-634 and Autonomía. Street parking in the quiet Irala blocks is far easier than downtown, and the Ametzola car park is a few minutes away on foot.

Look for this

Green awning, chalk by the door

You'll know G cafe Bilbao by the dark-green awning, the little terrace on the pavement, and the day's grill written up in chalk. Push the door — the bar's straight ahead.
