Zabala might not have many top sights, but Ribera Market and Santiago Cathedral are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Bilbao la Vieja lies just across the river from the Old Town. The streets in this space, which takes in the Bilbao la Vieja, San Francisco and Zabala districts, are covered with urban wall art and a very interesting collection of architecture. The barrio of San Francisco lies just south of Abando and is an immigrant area, a very lively neighborhood. #Architecture #Bilbao #Spain
