More information on RÃa del Nervión (La)
Considered a vital thoroughfare in this industrial and commercial city, the Nervión estuary has been one of the fundamental driving forces in Bilbao's economic and historical development: quays, buildings, warehouses, factories, steelworks, all sprung up on either bank shaping an industrial landscape some 14 kilometres in length along the river's route. Today little of this development remains. In the great transformation from industrial city to a city based on services that has taken shape in Bilbao, the Nervión or Ibaizabal estuary has played a part, with two of the city's most emblematic buildings today having been been built on one of its banks: the Guggenheim Museum and the Palacio de Congresos y de la Música, or Palacio Euskalduna. The cleaning of this estuary of great character and personality will in the future allow it to shine again in all its splendour and once again occupy the place it so deserves in the town's life. A speedy trip across the bridges that mark the estuary take us from its most distant past to the very present. Setting out from the symbolic San Antón bridge, the most recent bridge we come across is the one next to the Palacio de Euskaldena, from which it takes its name. It is a modern metal structure with a roofed walkway for pedestrians. Today visitors can sail in the Nervión in a boat called the Pil-Pil, in a trip that starts off at the Museo Guggenheim Bilbao and ends at the Abra port in Getxo.
