Bilbao is a Spanish city situated in the autonomous community of the Basque Country. Bilbao ferry port is a hive of activity thanks to the economic development of the Basque Country and the natural resources exploited from quarries. Bilbao has become one the most important ports in Spain and also a good starting point for visiting the green northern coast. Bilbao is also famous for The Guggenheim Museum, which was inaugurated in 1997 and contains some of the most important temporary expositions of modern art.
Rosslare (Ros Láir in Irish, meaning "the middle peninsula"), is a village in County Wexford. Rosslare has been a tourist resort for at least 100 years. It prides itself on being the sunniest spot in Ireland, and records bear this out: Rosslare receives 300 hours more sunshine each year than the average place in Ireland. The long sandy strand is a Blue Flag Beach so it attracts swimmers and families, while there are a number of good golf courses in the vicinity. A long sandspit stretching north from Rosslare separates Wexford Harbour from the Irish Sea. Until the early 1920s, this spit stretched for many miles north, almost touching the Raven Point and giving a very narrow mouth to Wexford Harbour. At the end of the spit was a small fort called Rosslare Fort. In the winter of 1924-25 a storm breached the spit and it was gradually washed away. The fort was abandoned and now all that is left is an island at low tide.
