Bar / Cafe Swansea

[Ringwood]

I read a while back about a bar in Bilbao named after our City but nobody knew how it came about.

I was in there last night and the now owner explained. A chap moved to Bilbao from Swansea in the late 70"s ST holder at the Vetch. He opened the bar and actually had a visit from John Toshack.

The now owner is a Athletic Club ST especially as the stadium is next door although she follows the Swans from afar.

Lots of people from Wales have visited the bar along with other parts of the UK. She said it was used for Spurs fans mainly for the Europa final.

In case anybody was interested

I was in Bilbao years ago and the taxi went past that bar. Never had the chance to go back and check it was real! Thanks for this.
