Not the Spanish police. It's the Ertzaintza you've to look out for. They're the Basque police. Absolute headbangers |

What's the best dormitory town? Biarritz, Donastia or Vitoria. Hondarrabia is fine though, it's the only place I've been in that area.
John Delaney didn't mention 'Celtic Cousins' nor 'Iberno-Hibernians' but it's still a great quote. http://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/euro-2020-dublin-paired-with-bilbao
FAI CEO John Delaney said: "I would like to welcome the decision by UEFA that Dublin has been paired with the great city of Bilbao for UEFA EURO 2020. "Today's host city pairings marks an exciting chapter in the build-up to the European Championships, which will see Dublin and Ireland hosting the biggest ever sporting event to take place in our country. Shinner sprays his shorts Welcoming the news, Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ardmheara Michael McDonncha, said: "On behalf of the citizens of Dublin, I'm delighted by UEFA's decision to pair Dublin with Bilbao for EURO 2020. "These two great cities will have an opportunity to work together to play a major role in this unique pan-European sporting event. As a host city, Dublin will be able to showcase itself to the world and will provide visitors with a festival of football in June 2020." |

Limerick played in Amorebieta-Etxano (Spanish call it Amorebieta-Echano ) in 2013 pleasant town of approx 20,000. It is approx 30 minutes from Bilbao from what I can remember. Bilbao is the best place to stay in my book. Of course we may not qualify and we may yet have the Spain game in Dublin if we do. |

Was there with the mrs for a long weekend in June 2015. No issues with pickpockets, food and drink were reasonable, loads to see and do. It was also absolutely boiling hot, way into the 30's every day. Any anti-social behaviour will get you a hiding for the ages, which I'm all for if the gimps that showed up in Copenhagen show up here.

All that has changed . Probably the worst city in the world now for pickpockets and drink is hugely expensive. Add in to the equation ETA and ISIS will likely join forces to kill us ,there isnt a hope in hell anyone should travel over there.

Lived in Bilbao for a few years. Moved home a year ago. Flights directly to Bilbao are expensive. Accommodation is cheap. Drink and food is cheap. Pickpocketing is no issue. Crime is low. Basque police are mad. Guardia Civil are not to be messed with. City is linked to the various towns in the area by a fantastic metro system. Buses are cheap too. Ryanair fly into Santander. Two hour bus ride. Basques are headbangers to be truthful.

Bit different to the Irish then, as we are noted for our sanity.

Actually now that I think about it, if Ireland were to play Spain in Bilbao it's not likely that the locals will be particularly predisposed to supporting Spain, is it? Chances are the Basques will cheer on Ireland?

Bilbao is very split. Middle to Upper are Spanish from the Basque Country. Working class are Basque. Chances are the Basques won't show up |

Their lack of tolerance would only relate to hoofing a ball around. Short passing in the street would be fully acceptable. |
