La [|villa] de **Bilbao**[|5] (en [|euskera] también //Bilbo//)[|6] es una localidad y [|municipio español] situado en el norte del país, capital de la [|provincia] y [|territorio histórico] de [|Vizcaya], en la [|comunidad autónoma] del [|País Vasco]. Con 355.731 habitantes según el padrón de [|2009],[|7] es la urbe más poblada de su comunidad autónoma y la décima de España, siendo la cabecera del [|área metropolitana de Bilbao], una [|conurbación] de más de 900.000 habitantes que se extiende a lo largo de la [|ría de Bilbao] o del [|Nervión]. Su principal núcleo urbano se encuentra rodeado por dos [|cadenas montañosas] con una altitud media que no supera los 400 metros.[|8] Estas cadenas forman algunos de los límites naturales del municipio. Los principales municipios limítrofes son [|Sondica], [|Zamudio], [|Basauri] y [|Baracaldo]. Desde su fundación, a comienzos del [|siglo XIV], fue un enclave comercial que gozó de particular importancia en la [|cornisa cantábrica] gracias a su [|actividad portuaria] que se basaba principalmente en la exportación de la lana procedente de [|Castilla] y en menor medida del [|hierro] extraído de las canteras vizcaínas. A lo largo del [|siglo XIX] y principios del [|XX] experimentó una fuerte industrialización que la convirtió en el epicentro de la segunda región industrializada de España, despues de [|Barcelona].[|9] [|10] Ésta estuvo acompañada de una extraordinaria explosión demográfica y urbanística que originó la anexión de varios municipios colindantes. En la actualidad es una pujante ciudad de servicios,[|9] que se encuentra en un proceso de revitalización estética, social y económica liderado por el simbólico [|Museo Guggenheim Bilbao].[|11] [|12] [|13] El [|19 de mayo] de [|2010] la ciudad de Bilbao fue reconocida con el premio [|Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize], otorgado por la ciudad estado de [|Singapur], en colaboración con la [|Academia Nobel] sueca. Considerado el //Nobel// del [|urbanismo], fue entregado el [|29 de junio] de [|2010].[|14] || Clockwise from top: Panorama from mount [|Artxanda], [|church of San Antón], [|Bilbao Guggenheim Museum], [|Fosterito], and [|Euskalduna Palace] ||

Bilbao se encuentra en la comunidad autonma vasca || Donde esta Bilbao???? Bilbao Sse encuentra en Espana || Bilbao is situated in the north-central part of Spain, some 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) south of the [|Bay of Biscay], where the [|estuary of Bilbao] is formed. Its main urban core is surrounded by two small [|mountain ranges] with an average elevation of 400 metres (1,300 ft). Since its foundation in the early 14th century, Bilbao was a commercial hub that enjoyed significant importance in the [|Green Spain], mainly thanks to its [|port activity] based on the export of iron extracted from the Biscayan quarries. Throughout the nineteenth century and beginnings of the twentieth, Bilbao experienced heavy industrialization that made it the centre of the second industrialized region of Spain, behind [|Barcelona]This was joined by an extraordinary population explosion that prompted the anexation of several adjacent municipalities. Nowadays, Bilbao is a vigorous [|service city] that is experiencing an ongoing social, economic, and aesthetic revitalization process, started by the symbolic [|Bilbao Guggenheim Museum], and continued by infrastructure investments, such as the [|airport terminal], the [|rapid transit system], the [|tram line], the [|Alhóndiga], or the currently under development [|Abandoibarra] and [|Zorrozaurre] [|renewal] projects. ||
