Bilbao during Semana Grande

We (myself, spouse and our 1 year old) have a long weekend booked in Bilbao. We didn’t realize Semana Grande will start when we are there.

It looks like a lot of the festivities are Casco Viejo and the Arenal area.

How crazy will it be? Will the Guggenheim be way too crowded? If we want to tour Casco Viejo - is it best to do that Friday before it starts? If we tour in the morning- will things be less crowded?

Will the surrounding area be more crowded or will this draw everyone into Bilbao leaving the other parts of the region less busy?

Are there any Semana Grande activities that would be pleasant with a toddler? Or should we scrap our plans and go elsewhere in the region?

Semana Grande looks awesome! Just not sure it’s an appropriate (or pleasant) vacation with a toddler.

Lighting that doesn’t hurt eyes

I’m working on designing my gym. I do a lot of mat work, and hate staring up at ceiling lightbulbs- it burns my eyes.

I’ve considered a few wall scones that point up, but due to the odd shape of the room, I would prefer something on the ceiling.

I’ve thought about the LED track lighting that you make a tray in the ceiling for, but the ceiling isn’t super high and I don’t love that look. Plus I need the ceilings to not be lower because I need height for the gym equipment.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an overhead light idea with a cover to diffuse the light so I’m not staring into a lightbulb?

The ceiling is finished drywall. Gym is in the basement with a “window” (that doesn’t really get much light at all).

Pictures show the room - it’s currently a bedroom.
