Bilbao's Lost Nightlife: Galerías de Urquijo's Transformation
Bilbao's Galerías de Urquijo: From Nightlife Hub to Empty Passageway Once a vibrant center of Bilbao's nightlife, Galerías de Urquijo now stands largely empty. A recent video by local streamer PABLERAS showcases the dramatic transformation of this once-popular destination, highlighting the closure of numerous nightclubs. The video takes viewers on a tour of the passageway, pointing out former hotspots like Galerías, Fayla, and Big Ben, now mostly deserted or closed. "It's unbelievable how much it's changed," comments PABLERAS, expressing surprise at the emptiness. The video evokes a sense of nostalgia, contrasting the lively memories with the current state of the area. While some businesses remain open, the overall impression is one of significant decline. The video serves as a poignant reminder of the ever-changing nature of urban spaces and the loss of local landmarks.
