The river Nervión can give evidence of Bizkaia’s economic development. From Bilbao to its mouth in the bay, it flows through an area that has been home to shipyards and mineral extraction industries. Throughout history, the river estuary, known as La Ría, has played a key role in the transformation of the city and the bridges crossing it have been catalysts of the city’s dramatic change. On its way to the sea, the Nervión goes past the Uribitarte quay, the old shipyards (on the sites of the Guggenheim Museum and Euskalduna Conference Centre), the Olabeaga workshops, the Molinos Vascos building and Altos Hornos de Errontegi. In its lowermost course, past the Bizkaia Bridge, the river flows into the Cantabrian Sea under the name of Ibaizabal (Basque word for ‘wide river’).
