Calzadas de Mallona

Bilbao, Spain

 

Setting out from Plaza de Unamuno, begin the climb to the Begona basilica through the paved streets of Mallona (Las Calzadas de Mallona). These are an essential part of the Day of the Virgin celebration (15 August) when thousands of people visit the shrine of this basilica. Begin the walk through these famous streets through which in bygone days marched a civic procession every May 2nd in order to commemorate the deaths of those who fell defending the town during the Siege of Bilbao. During the Carlist wars Bilbao was layed siege to and General Concha overthrew the siege on the 2nd of May. At the summit of Las Calzadas, the gate of what was Bilbao's cemetry in the nineteenth century still stands.
