"When moving to Bilbao, Spain, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate for the city's mild, humid climate. This includes lightweight clothing for the warm summer months, as well as warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Bilbao is known for its frequent rain showers. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as the city is best explored on foot. Also, bring a swimsuit for the beach and workout clothes if you plan on using the city's many parks and sports facilities. Remember to bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair. Pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Also, bring copies of important documents, such as your birth certificate and medical records. Don't forget to pack your electronics, such as your smartphone, laptop, and chargers. An adapter plug for European outlets would also be useful. If you're planning on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Spain. Lastly, bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, and your favorite books," remarked another expat who made the move to Bilbao , Spain.
