Hi, I'm Rune.
Life in Bilbao is fun. Food is good. People are friendly. I love it. Normally, I sit and write my books, being an author of crime fiction books, in a cultural factory in the only island of Bilbao, in the middle of the river. I love writing, but I also love meeting other people, and telling about life and culture in Bilbao and the beautiful Basque Country. So let's meet, have some pintxos (tapas), get to know everything from "el Guggenheim" to underground culture inside Bilbao. And I specially fancy the coast, and would very much like to take you on a tour through fantastic landscapes and amazing fishing villages. Back in Bilbao, I always go by bike – coming from Copenhagen, Denmark, where that is the most normal thing to do. So feel free to join me for a bike ride also. Hope to see you, and to personalize your experience. Ongi etorri – welcome!
