Los Gigantes is a coastal town located in the Santiago del Teide municipality. The resort is famous for its cliffs of imposing stature soaring up to 600 metres above sea level. These rock formations extend along a significant stretch of the coastline, offering breathtaking views. According to the locals, Los Gigantes' cliffs are sacred, as they symbolize the end of the world. This resort town is home to nearly 2,700 people. It has a marina and a black sand beach. There is also a promenade with numerous cafés and restaurants. The cliffs can be easily admired from the sea, however, getting to the top is more physically challenging due to their formidable nature and rugged terrain.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a landmark of contemporary architecture and a cultural beacon for the city. Designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, the museum's fluid, sculptural form has been hailed as one of the most significant architectural achievements of the 20th century. Its titanium-clad curves and organic shapes have transformed the Bilbao skyline and are often likened to a ship or flower. Beyond its jaw-dropping exterior, the museum houses a world-class collection of modern and contemporary art, focusing on postwar American and European artists. Notable works include pieces by Mark Rothko, Jeff Koons, and Louise Bourgeois, among others.
