We continue to have around a million visitors a year, we continue to have visitors from all over the world for example this summer an average of 70% of visitors are foreigners. All this means that the success continues, you can feel it." AP Television Bilbao, August 20th 9. Wide pan apartments in Basurto district to derelict metal furnace 10. Mid metal furnace 11.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ibon Areso Mendiguren, Bilbao Deputy Mayor: "People were really beaten down by the crisis (of the 80's), they had lost their faith in a better future and had really low self esteem. The Guggenheim museum helped people to start believing in themselves and to give the process of change more credibility. I think that now we are in the opposite situation where everyone thinks everything is possible, people are asking for lots of things because they think that here in Bilbao everything is possible. But there are of course limits especially in a time of crisis." AP Television Bilbao, August 19th 2009 16. Wide permanent exhibit by Richard Serra 17. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Marga Meoro, Communications, Guggenheim Museum: "Not only has it meant the renovation of Vizcaya (Bilbao region) but also the Basque Country because as part of a trend started with the Guggenheim other institutions were built. There was a urban and cultural regrowth in the city. Also they say that Bilbao people regained their pride. If all this happened since the 80's, the museum must keep offering a quality programme, we must offer interest for our international visitors, it can be of help in fighting the crisis." 18.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Xabier Ayerti, Sociologist "What we have to ask ourselves is - Bilbao, with the size it has, in what position is it in? I think that perhaps its position is over blown in relation to the level of city it should correspond to. There have been things that have worked. What we need to do now is to be permanently checking that we continue to get things right. And that is where the debate is now." AP Television Bilbao, August 2 2009 24.
