PUENTE BIZKAIA

Take a pleasant stroll upstream from Santurtzi to the iconic Puente Bizkaia: the first transporter bridge of its kind ever built.

This gem from our industrial past which links the banks of the Nervión River estuary was declared a Human Heritage Site in 2006.

Built of almost 750 tonnes of rolled iron, it was completed in 1893 and is still in service today.
