The monument is intended to depict the dramatic struggle of the city of Bilbao in the form of a man with the sea in the form of Poseidon. Poseidon is already lying on the ground with his trident broken.

Quiet place to walk and visit the monument. Good views of the estuary, Santurce, Portugalete and the Abra.
There are several seating areas to relax in good weather and enjoy the moment. Ideal to complete with a walk along the pier.

The Churruca Pier or Evaristo de Churruca Pier is a pier in the Biscayan town of Las Arenas (Getxo). Designed and built by the Spanish engineer Evaristo de Churruca y Brunet, it is located at the end of the Nervión estuary and is named after him, as is its counterpart, the Churruca Pier in Portugalete, located on the opposite bank of the estuary.
The Churruca Pier extends along the right bank of the Nervión mouth, from the Vizcaya Bridge onward. It is divided into two parts:
The first serves as a street, extending from the Vizcaya Bridge to the landscaped area known as Churruca Park, which includes several tamarind gardens and connects to the Las Arenas Pier and Las Arenas Beach. This first part consists of a promenade parallel to the estuary, a small garden separating it from a one-way road, and a sidewalk on the other side of the road, which provides access to the homes.
The second part consists of a landscaped promenade and extends beyond the beach. This is the pier itself, the structure built by Evaristo de Churruca, which allowed the channeling of the Nervión River. It consists of two pedestrian walkways, separated by several garden areas, which connect at a small plaza at the end, where a small lighthouse stands. At the beginning of the pier is the monument to Evaristo de Churruca, a huge obelisk depicting man struggling with and conquering the sea (represented by Neptune, the Roman god, in a position of defeat). This image symbolizes man's struggle against the sea.
