Getxo Bridge, near Bilbao
When I went to Bilbao I expected to see only one masterpiece of engineering, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum, but was happy to also find the Vizkaya Bridge in Getxo, a short metro ride from Bilbao. The Vizkaya Bridge was designed by a follower of Gustav Eiffel, Antonio Palacio, in 1893 and was the first ‘transporter bridge’. Locals call it Puente Colgante or ‘Hanging Bridge’. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and worth the visit and a ride. It’s only 35 cents to cross. Fun! Bring the kids.
Vizcaya Bridge (Bilbao, Basque Country)
The Vizcaya Bridge (Bizkaiko Zubia in Basque, Puente de Vizcaya in Spanish), is a transporter bridge that links the towns of Portugalete and Las Arenas (part of Getxo) in the Biscay province of Spain, crossing the mouth of the Nervion River.
Vizcaya Bridge (UNESCO/NHK)
Vizcaya Bridge straddles the mouth of the Ibaizabal estuary, west of Bilbao. It was designed by the Basque architect Alberto de Palacio and completed in 1893. The 45-m-high bridge with its span of 160 m, merges 19th-century ironworking traditions with the then new lightweight technology of twisted steel ropes. It was the first bridge in the world to carry people and traffic on a high suspended gondola and was used as a model for many similar ...

Puente de Vizcaya. Vizcaya Bridge.
Die Biskaya-Brücke (spanisch Puente de Vizcaya, baskisch Bizkaiko Zubia) wird auch Puente de Portugalete oder (nach ihrem Erbauer, dem baskischen Architekten und Ingenieur Alberto Palacio Elissague, der sie zusammen mit dem Ingenieur Ferdinand Arnodin gebaut hat) Puente Palacio genannt. In Spanien ist sie aber vor allem unter dem Namen Puente Colgante („Hängende Brücke“) bekannt. Es handelt sich allerdings nicht um eine Hängebrücke im technischen Sinne, sondern um eine Schwebefähre (also eine Hochbrücke mit daran befestigter Hängebarke). Die Fähre wurde 1893 eingeweiht und ist somit die älteste Schwebefähre der Welt. Sie ist heute noch in Betrieb und verbindet die zur Agglomeration von Bilbao gehörenden Orte Portugalete und Getxo in der Autonomen Gemeinschaft Baskenland, Provinz Bizkaia, die durch die Ría de Bilbao, die für Seeschiffe befahrbare Mündung des Flusses Nervión in den Golf von Biskaya, getrennt sind. Am 13. Juli 2006 wurde das Bauwerk von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt.

Getxo is a town located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country, in the north of Spain. Getxo is part of Greater Bilbao, Getxo is mostly an affluent residential area, as well as being the third largest municipality of Biscay.
Getxo (formerly spelt Guecho) was a parish (elizatea, anteiglesia'), originally a rural area, including a large beach at the mouth of the Estuary of Bilbao, centered on the little fishing village of Algorta. The parish council met at the church of Getxoko Andra Mari (Basque) or Santa María de Getxo (Spanish) (both mean Our Lady of Getxo), not far from the headland called Punta Galea.
The town's coat of arms has an oak with two cauldrons chained to its branches and the motto Kaltea Dagianak Bizarra Lepoan (Basque for Who makes evil, the beard at the back).
With industrialisation in the 19th century, some parts of Getxo evolved into residential areas for the rich bourgeois class. A residential area called Neguri (Basque for Winter Town) came into being. The village of Algorta grew around the church of San Nicolás and the canalisation of the firth, provided for the colonisation of the beach, where a district called Areeta in Basque and Las Arenas (Spanish for The Sands) was built. Near Areeta / Las Arenas, on the other side of the road to Bilbao, there grew a working-class district called Erromo, similar to the one that grew near Neguri: Neguri Langile. Finally, in the 20th century, urban development reached the rural areas of Getxoko Andra Mari.
Getxo, as well as the surrounding area known as Uribe-Kosta, grew rapidly in the last decades of the 20th century. While in the early 80s the town had only 50,000 inhabitants, it has now more than 83,000. The surrounding towns of Leioa, Berango and Sopelana have also seen multiplied their population in the same period.
Getxo is located 14 km (~8 miles) north of Bilbao, in the province and historical Territory of Biscay, in the community of the Basque Country, in the north of Spain. It has a surface of 11.64 km². Getxo borders in the north with Sopelana, in the east with Berango and Lejona, in the south with Portugalete and in the west with the Bay of the Cove.It is possible to travel to Getxo from Bilbao using the city's modern underground Metro system, which has already 6 stations in the town (Areeta, Gobela, Neguri, Aiboa, Algorta and Bideazabal), and another one under construction (Ibarbengoa-Getxo). Getxo is also accessible from Portugalete, by means of both the Vizcaya Bridge transporter bridge and the regular fluvial transport over the Estuary of Bilbao. The ferry Pride of Bilbao reaches Portsmouth from Getxo's neighbour Santurtzi, and Bilbao Airport is also not far away in Loiu.
Getxo has some tourist appeal with easy access to several beaches, and to the regional economic capital of Bilbao. It has a yacht harbour, a golf course, and several sports complexes (both public and private). A dynamic, semi-autonomous Department of Culture organises many events on a regular basis, including several international music festivals given over to jazz, the blues and folk. The town has many houses of architectural interest, including the Town Hall and several churches, as well as private dwellings belonging to members of the wealthy industrialist class of Biscay. The Old Harbour district of Algorta and several parks with views across to the bay called the Bilbao Abra are also worth a visit.

Puente colgante Portugalete - Bizkaia - Euskadi
| ¿Te atreves a recorrer el Puente Colgante por una pasarela de 170 metros a 50 metros de altura? Nosotros lo hemos hecho y es una experiencia única.
La arquitectura de hierro creada gracias a la revolución industrial ha trascendido hasta nuestros días en parte por la famosa Torre Eiffel. Un estilo práctico en aquellos tiempos donde los incendios ponían en peligro la seguridad de las fábricas.
En Bizkaia, cuna de la industria española, se puede visitar una de las joyas de aquella época donde el mineral de hierro tenía el protagonismo que hoy posee el petróleo. “El Puente Colgante Vizcaya” es hoy en día Patrimonio Mundial por la Unesco. Un símbolo de finales de siglo XIX que hoy sigue en uso uniendo las orillas de dos ciudades hermanas como son Portugalete y Getxo.
