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.
Termibus - Bilbao Central Bus Station
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.

Regular bus service Airport-Bilbao
You can find the bus stop for Bilbao centre to the right when you leave the arrivals area of the airport. Buses run from 6:20 to 00:00 every 20 minutes (:20/:40/:00). The bus number 3247 is displayed on the front of the bus. This bus has four stops in Bilbao: Alameda Recalde, 14; Moyua Plaza; Gran Vía, 74; and Termibus-Bilbao Central Bus Station.
Taxi
There is a taxi stand in front of the arrivals area of the airport.
How to get to Colegio Mayor Miguel de Unamuno:
To get there from the airport, you can either take a taxi or a bus.
If you decide to take a bus, the bus stop is just on your right when you exit the airport. You can buy a ticket on the bus, but take into consideration that the bus driver accepts euros only (and at most 20 Euro note).
The last stop of the bus is Termibus. From the bus station walk a couple of minutes (https://goo.gl/4nvW27) and you will see the underground station. This is how it looks:
After going down the first escalator, continue straight to another escalator (ignore the station on your left). Once past the ticket gates, take the stairs to your right.
To go to the residence you need to go to Sarriko station (just two stops away). Once you leave the underground (there is only one exit, you can also use a lift), turn 180 degrees and go down the street about 300 meters: https://goo.gl/TuwhBd. The residence will be on your right.
How to get to BCAM:
Bcam building is located at the center of Bilbao. Its address is
Alameda de Mazarredo 14, 48009, Bilbao
and the closest metro station is Moyua, although it is at a walking distance from most places at the city.
How to get to the UPV/EHU Leioa campus:
From the residencia Unamuno. When you leave the residence, on your right there is a bus station. You need to take the bus A2314 (the bus does stop there although the number is NOT written anywhere on the bus station). The bus runs at 25 and 55 past the hour (approximate time). You need to leave at the last stop.
If you are staying somewhere else in Bilbao, you may also take the following bus lines: 2318 (Termibus), 2324 (Abando), 2312 (Zabalburu). For more information about the lines, see https://web.bizkaia.eus/es/web/bizkaibus/lineas
If you write the number of the bus in "Linea" and push "Itinerario", you will be able to see all the stops of the line as well as the route in the map.If you come by car, there is a parking on Campus four minutes away from the department.
