Pas de billets nécessaires, pas de temps d'attente non plus. L'église est très haute avec un plafond en dôme en pierre. Le charme de l'église se fait non pas par des vitraux comme l'usuel mais par de grandes colonnes en bois taillées pour représenter des scènes. Très belle balance entre le travail du bois pur et peint et entre les peintures. Travail exceptionnel que l'on retrouve dans les 4 coins de l'église et en plus derrière l'hôtel

Visitamos la Iglesia de San Nicolás, ubicada en el corazón del Casco Viejo de Bilbao pero nos tuvimos que conformar con ver su magnífica fachada, ya que es uno de los templos emblemáticos de la ciudad. Construida entre 1743 y 1756 tiene un diseño barroco con una increíble fachada que incluye dos torres magníficas y un frontón precioso. Situada delante de la ría, la podemos situar aparcando en alguno de los establecimientos subterráneos cercanos.
