White knuckle thrills

IF white knuckle rides are to your taste you will find your thrills in Bilbao December 14 – 23. 

The Fourth Mendi Film Festival is the ultimate accolade to extreme sports. As you grip the edge of your seats or your nails dig into your partner’s sweating hand, you can watch the most hair-raising examples of cinematic mountaineering and rock-climbing; in fact 25 mind-blowing death defying experiences submitted by 12 nations.

For those with strong stomachs there will also be sky-diving, tight-rope walking across buildings and gorges. There will be slack-lining; similar to tight-rope walking, but the line is slack. I will stick to cafe society al fresco. In Spain, not the UK.
