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.

The Plaza Nueva is a beautiful neoclassical square that was built in 1821. This square is the lively heart of the Casco Viejo, the old district of Bilbao. Plaza Nueva is surrounded by buildings, where the lower floor consists of arches. Under these arches you will find numerous pintxos bars and restaurants. The square is therefore ideally suited to grab a terrace at the end of the afternoon and watch the Basque life while enjoying pintxos, the Basque form of tapas.

A very typical building by the architect Santiago Calatrava. Curved and bent lines in delicate white architecture, a very similar form to be seen elsewhere and therefore nothing new, but still beautiful. Example of a similar building by the Spanish/Swiss star architect: https://calatrava.com/projects/bohl-bus-and-tram-stop-sankt-gallen.html Unfortunately, the bridge is in an extremely unsightly condition, and a visual renovation seems to be overdue.

Puppy, a twelve-meter-tall West Highland Terrier, is one of the most famous dogs in the world and is the background for many of the pictures that tourists take with them from Bilbao. Created by American artist Jeff Koons (York, Pennsylvania, 1955), it sits outside the Guggenheim Museum as if it were its guardian. It can be seen as a monument of sentimentalism but also as one of the main icons of modern Bilbao. The flowers that fill the stainless steel structure change with each season.

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.

Very frequent crossings, basically non-stop during the day. There is a person selling tickets onboard so you don't need to buy one in advance through the machines that only take small coins. Was only 90c for me and my bike.
