Itsaslur Greenway and Punta Lucero

Walking up high

You will enjoy a unique view of the mouth of the estuary if you go up to the upper walkway of the Bizkaia Bridge, at a height of 45 m.

A symbol of the industrial era in which it was built, at the end of the 19th century, the Bizkaia Bridge is located at the end of the mouth of the estuary, linking Portugalete and Las Arenas (Getxo). Its construction, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, was precisely due to the needs of the new bourgeoisie and the incipient tourists of the time, visitors to the spas on both sides of the river. In 2006, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The summit of Punta Lucero (307 m.) is a privileged spot thanks to its views over the Bay of Biscay. It is reached after walking through tunnels and canyons.
