The building on the corner of Colon de Larreategui Street features a facade covered in intricate, repeating geometric patterns of light and dark stone. For decades, this was the home of El Eme, a sandwich shop famous for a specific recipe involving toasted bread, ham, mayonnaise, and a secret touch of spice. Workers and families gathered here for quick, affordable meals during the transformation of Bilbao. The business operated for over seventy years until it closed its doors for the final time.
