Warning: Baggage claim at the airport
Baggage claim has two zones at Bilbao airport: one for flights coming from the Schengen area, and another one for flights from outside this area. The two zones are divided by a glass wall.
You should be careful if you are in the following situation: you departed a country outside the Schengen area, but you have a connection inside the Schengen area (without checking in your baggage again); for example, a flight US-Madrid-Bilbao. In this case, you will find yourself in the zone for Schengen baggage claim, but your suitcase will be delivered in the other zone. So you have to cross the glass wall to pick up your luggage.

Bilbao is connected by bus with many other Spanish cities. All buses leave from/arrive to Termibus, the Bilbao Central Bus Station, which is situated near the city centre. The ``San Mamés'' station of Bilbao underground is just outside Termibus and can be used to get to other areas of the city.
