Arboleda
Difficult to imagine how this landscape looked like during the industrial time when the mines were still open and functioning, an area according to the spanish writer Luis de Castresana, the “real Balcony of Vizcaya”.
25 years ago, the last mines in Arboleda were closed, and this is how it looks today.The Guggenheim Museum
Inagurated October 1997. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, claimed to be one of the most important ingredients in the plan to redevelop the city of Bilbao, is the result of a process of collaboration between the Basque authorities and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
Puente Colgante
The Biscay Transporter Bridge, build in 1893 and declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2006, is the oldest of its kind. The bridge offers two options for crossing, by gondola or by foot over the bridge. We went for the last option, and I must say, the view was great!
