Amarena Restaurant
Amarena Restaurant is located in the Old Quarter of Bilbao, right at the exact unique spot of it from where the Baslica of Begoña can be seen.
An ancient small sculpture of the only Virgin in the world carrying a glass of wine is located on the restaurant’s main wall. Under it, the historical ‘Hucha de los txikiteros’ (a collection urn where wine lovers come to honour the Virgin), a spot of pilgrimage for decades.

Fridays, Saturdays and Holidays: 13:00 – 16:00h. and 19:00 – 00:00h.
