Pierce Brosnan The World Is Not Enough Bilbao

Never did I know that Bilbao would be a Bond location two years after I had been there in August of 1997.

It was a nice surprise when I first saw The World Is Not Enough (1999) because I recognized myself as James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) walks towards the office where the Cigar Girl (Maria Grazia Cucinotta) is waiting for him.

I walked on the same street passing The Guggenheim Museum when I was there!

Other locations that was used for the filming of The World Is Not Enough and are worth visiting for all Bond travellers:

• Bardenas Reales (Spain)
• City of Baku (Azerbaijan)
• Eilean Donan Castle (in Scotland)
• Las Bardenas (Spain)
• Las Majadas (Spain)
• Les Grands Montets (France)
• Maiden Tower (in Istanbul)
• River Thames (in London)
• Stowe House (in Buckinghamshire, England)
• The O2 in London (previously the Millennium Dome)
