Diego Lopez Haroko Kale Nagusia
Diego Lopez Haroko Kale Nagusia, Abando, Bilbao, Bizkaia
Broad commercial avenue lined with banks and boutiques, laid out on the plains of a nineteenth-century city expansion.
This guide to Diego Lopez Haroko Kale Nagusia in Bilbao traces a family quarrel back to 1288, when the lord of Biscay died leaving two heirs, his daughter Maria Diaz de Haro and his brother Diego Lopez de Haro, and local nobles chose Diego because custom barred a woman from ruling. It follows Diego to 1300, when he founded Bilbao itself with a market charter, and on to his death nine years later at a siege camp far from home. This avenue and a nearby street still carry the two rivals' names.
