Also called the “Calatrava Bridge” after the architect who built it, it is an arched, white and slender structure that looks like a sailing ship ten meters high above the river mouth. Its glass surface has caused a lot of controversy, which is why today people step on a non-slip mat. It connects Uribarte with Campo Volantín and, despite the controversies that have always accompanied it, is one of the symbols of the city.

Via the Zubizuri in Bilbao, also called Puente del Campo Volantin, you literally walk from the old to the new city. Together with the Guggenheim Museum, the bridge is the figurehead of the more modern, renovated Bilbao. The Zubizuri was built between 1994 and 1997. In Basque, its name means ‘White Bridge’. The Spanish architect Calatrava developed the modern metal construction with a glass floor, which later turned out to be not very practical. As a result, the city of Bilbao had to spend more than a quarter of a million to cover the bridge with carpet.
