The greater Bilbao: a different viewpoint

The river Nervion crosses Bilbao and its metropolitan area, to the mouth of the river, and it has always been its economical engine until the industrial crisis hit our economy in the 80s. With over one million people living in the different villages along the river, this is the second highest human density area in Spain. This was my playground when I was a child, my father was a sailor, and involved in the ship construction, so I had the chance to sail this river many times, when it was not so clean as it is today. We will sail the whole river in this tour, from the mouth to Bilbao, enjoying a panoramic view of all the most important spots and highlights that are imposible to see from a car or a van, among others, the most important village in the world. . . my birthplace. You will know the old and recent history of Bilbao, and also understand much better why we had to transform the city and the economical activity as it is difficult to understand the area without visiting the river. Welcome aboard!
