Bilbao's a great city. The regeneration of it has been replicated since and is rather unsurprisingly referred to as "the Bilbao effect". Loads to see and do - the Gugg itself is well worth a visit.
There's a Pintxo bar not far from it which has all the hardhats of the guys involved in the conctruction, including that of Frank Gehry.
Personally I'd avoid the ferry. Since living in the UK the missus has only done the ferry crossing once. Once was enough. She has no idea how Ellen Macarthur does it.
Pintxo, crianza and you're well away...

Thanks! And people say Bilbao itself is not amazing, including one Bilbao native I know, so maybe only spend one night there?
Also, as we've only got 7 days max, is it worth getting the ferry one way for added leisure points?
