HOW DO WE REACH IT? BBK live is held in Monte Cobetas, in Bilbao, so due to the little accessibility there is only a way to get there: By bus. People can choose between three different lines of the Bilbobus (public transport of buses here), 58 -From Atxuri-, 28-Frm Uribarri-Altamira- or 48-From Santutxu-. If not, there’s still another method to go. You can go to Termibus in San Mamés and wait for some special buses that will transport you there. The main reason to choose the other alternative is that, whereas you need to pay for Bilbobus, you can get at no cost a lift to Monte Cobetas even though it may be crowded How many people take part? In 2014 around the %30 of the people how take part were from German, France and UK and that means that BBK Live was becoming a international festival and the %11 was from Madrid. In this year 120.000 spectators went there and that was a record. Last year more than 112.000 participants went there.
