COLGANTE BRIDGE OF VIZCAYA COUNTRY VASCO ESPAÑA

The Vizcaya Suspension Bridge, known in Spanish as Puente Vizcaya, is a ferry bridge that crosses the Ría del Nervión in the Basque Country, Spain. Designed by architect Alberto de Palacio, it was inaugurated in 1893 and is one of the oldest ferry bridges in the world.

The bridge structure is made up of a metal platform that hangs from four robust steel cables, and is powered by a system of pulleys and motors that allow the transfer of pedestrians, vehicles and passengers between the two banks of the estuary. It offers stunning views of the estuary, the city of Getxo and the industrial area on the left bank.

The Vizcaya Bridge connects the towns of Portugalete and Getxo, facilitating communication and transportation of people in the area. In addition to its practical function, it is an important architectural and historical symbol of the Basque Country, and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

With a height of more than 45 meters above water level, the Vizcaya Bridge is a very popular tourist attraction that attracts visitors from all over the world. Its unique design and historical value make it an emblematic reference point and a jewel of Basque heritage that deserves to be visited and admired.
