Dear Ms. Ciboroski:
I am writing on Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA)’s behalf in connection with the Staff’s review of BBVA’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013. BBVA is reviewing internally and with its external auditors and legal advisors the Staff’s comment letter dated January 15, 2015, and currently expects to respond in writing to the Staff’s comments the week of February 9. I understand from my conversation with Rebekah Lindsay on January 21 that the timing of such response is acceptable to the Staff.
Please do not hesitate to contact me (Tel. no. 011-34-91-768-9610) should you have any questions regarding the foregoing.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Michael J. Willisch
