Customer Travel Tip: When seeing the Guggenheim, please note that you should be prepared that the second floor is filled with Mr Koons' self aggrandising, pretentious work and may not take you as long to see as you'd think. The beach at Bidezabal is 30 minutes north, really nice, not too busy and good for a tan.
