Bilbao - Vizcaya bridge

In Bilbao you can try the funny moving "bridge" it was build in 1893 to connect the two cities Portogalete and Getxo, but they didn't want to have a normal bridge that could disturb the maritime traffic, so they came up with this construction.



July the 13, 2006 Unesco declared the bridge a World heritage site


If you feel like you can take the elevator 50 meters up and walk over the bridge, there is an amazing view over the harbour 
It operates every 8 minute the whole day, and around 4 million passengers use the bridge every year





The bridge also transport cars and bicycles


Link to the official page of the bridge, where you can find time schedule for operation and prices for tickets: http://www.puente-colgante.com/index.php/es/
