LIVE MUSIC Kaff ee Burger (60 Torstrasse, Mitte, tel: 030 2804 6495) This charming venue – a pub whose look hasn’t changed much since the Communist era – hosts intimate concerts most nights of the week and turns into a pretty raucous dance club after midnight, especially at the monthly hedonistic Russendisko parties.

Napoléon III and Empress Eugénie built their holiday palace in Biarritz in 1854. The original palace burnt down in 1870, but was rebuilt as the Hôtel du Palais.

LATE & LIVELY Café Boulevard (3 Arenal, tel: 94 415 3128) Recently reopened after an extensive renovation, this stalwart is one of Bilbao’s most emblematic meeting points. Open until late at the weekends, there’s no surprise as to why it’s such a popular place with locals and visitors. THIS MONTH SHOP El Mercado de la Ribera, next to the river, is reportedly the biggest indoor market in Europe. Fresh produce is delivered daily – from fruit and vegetables, meat and fi sh to cheeses, sweets and much more (every day except Sundays). SEE The carnival parades fl oat through various parts of the city centre from 4–8 March. Check the posters for related events, such as concerts and street theatre, and join in the fun and dress up. NO WAY! Athletic Club Bilbao is the only premier division football club in Europe with a noforeign-players policy – in fact, they don’t have any players from outside the Basque country!
