Once in BILBAO let us introduce you to a bustling place where tradition and modernity melt together. A city under transformation that has been possible thanks to the development of ambitious projects: METRO system by N. Foster, the new airport and ZUBI-ZURI FOOTBRIDGE by S. Calatrava, the A. Isozaki TOWERS, the NEW LIBRARY by R. Moneo, or the new CONGRESS HALL and MUSIC PALACE by Soriano-Palacios.

the Bizkaia Bridge, the oldest transporter HANGING BRIDGE in the world, and World Heritage by the Unesco.
