Did you know...
there are paving stones in Bilbo that absorb CO2?
These ecological paving stones whose appearance is similar to the traditional ones are made of GeoSilex and are capable of trapping up to 5,000 m3 of air.
An active ingredient (carbon hydroxide) is applied to the stone and when it comes into contact with CO2 becomes limestone. Layer by layer the tile petrifies and increases in mass but not in volume and they are useful for 12 or 15 years.

now that i'm back from holiday, i have to take a moment and write about how wonderful my time in pa铆s vasco/euskadi was (because contrary to popular belief, i do like other parts of spain besides catalunya 馃槄), how hospitable you were, bilbao, and how i enjoyed watching a match in san mam茅s (only a few months late 馃槄)
so we decided to splurge a bit and do the hospitality vip package at san mam茅s (i've heard so many good things) and honestly, it was worth every penny! for comparison, we did the same package at montju茂c for the menen铆 and it was hot, overpriced, the seating was not as good comparatively, and the food was meh (which is the biggest sin in my book!), so don't waste your money and just wait for camp nou to re-open!
anyway, i have a bit of a soft spot for athletic club bilbao and the whole experience did not disappoint. free flowing drinks, pintxos, and comfortable seats. there are a lot of elements that bar莽a can take from this club about enhancing the fan day experience, especially when it comes to comfort and accessibility.
and finally, as a rule, i don't buy non-bar莽a club shirts of players, but i was so annoyed when nahikari went to real madrid, that i said i would get her shirt once she finally left that infernal, cursed club. so mission completed! 馃馃槄
eskerrik asko, euskadi! 馃檹
bonus: so cool to see palestine flags flying alongside the ikurrina everywhere from bilbao to donostia! 馃
