Sociedad Bilbaina, Private club house in Abando, Bilbao, Spain.

The English-style Sociedad Bilbaina building features a wide portal for vehicles and contains one of Spain's most significant private libraries with 40,000 books.

Founded in 1839 by 133 prominent citizens of Bilbao, the club moved to its current location near the Nervion River in 1913.

The institution organizes concerts, book presentations, art exhibitions, language courses, and conferences throughout the year to maintain intellectual engagement.

Located at Navarra Street 1, the venue includes multiple restaurants, meeting spaces, sports facilities, and private rooms available for member functions.

During the Spanish Civil War, architect Tomas Bilbao protected the library collection by concealing it behind a false wall before the building's seizure.
