Hiking
The iron pier that solved the problem that the sandy bar located at the mouth of the estuary between Santurtzi and Portugalete posed for navigation for centuries was initially designed by Evaristo Churruca along its entire length using an iron frame on screw piles , a construction system that combined speed of execution and economy.
Late in the execution of the work, the already erected structure was damaged on several occasions by the attacks of boats that had lost control due to storms, which made it advisable to modify the initial project, making the last 200 meters solid.
