Weather
February is late winter in Bilbao: cool and often wet, with daytime temperatures typically around 12-15 C and nights around 5-8 C. Rain showers are common, so pack a waterproof layer and comfortable shoes for the walk between BEC halls and transport stops. The venue is indoors, but queues and shuttle areas can be exposed. These are climatological ranges, not a forecast; check a local forecast in the final week.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to Spain.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Languages
Spanish and Basque are the local languages; English is common in tech and business settings but not universal. A few words of Spanish such as hola, gracias and buenos dias go a long way in taxis, cafes and stand conversations.
Business timing
Lunch is usually 14:00-15:30 and dinner after 21:00. Schedule B2B meetings in the morning or early afternoon and confirm whether your contact prefers a stand meeting or a coffee outside the halls.
Greetings and cards
A handshake is standard for first business meetings; cheek kisses are common among acquaintances. Exchange details by LinkedIn or email rather than relying on a formal business-card ritual.
Tipping and payments
Tipping is not mandatory; rounding up or leaving small change is enough. Cards are widely accepted, but keep some euros for taxis and small cafes.
Local transport etiquette
Validate your Barik or contactless ticket on metro and rail journeys. Keep right on escalators and let passengers off before boarding.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
