is a magnificent and diverse nature reserve. It features river valleys, salt marshes, coastal cliffs, oak forests, and tranquil bays, where land and water meet, offering rich views. The river within the reserve flows into a broad estuary, where wetlands and beaches intertwine on both banks, appearing even more poetic in the morning mist or at sunset. Upon entering this area, you can stroll along the trails through the oak forests or overlook the meeting point of the coastal cliffs and azure waters. The wetlands are home to various migratory birds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. During the migration season, the fluttering wings against the sky add a touch of liveliness to the area. The beach is gentle yet retains its wild charm; waves gently lap against the shore, and visitors can stroll along the beach or take in the sea views from the headland. The area also retains its Basque culture and fishing village charm, with quiet, traditional towns along the coast.

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is an iconic masterpiece of modern architecture, designed by Frank Gehry. Its futuristic titanium-clad structure perfectly complements the avant-garde art collections inside. The museum features works by renowned contemporary artists and immersive installations. Outside, famous sculptures like Jeff Koons' Puppy add to its charm. A must-visit for art and architecture lovers.

A very beautiful place. If you're on a tour bus, be prepared for a hike, bring comfortable shoes and water; there are no cafes or restaurants at the very end. If you're looking for a budget option, you can take a bus from Bilbao to Bakio, then walk 3 km.

The cable ferry bridge transports vehicles and pedestrians to the other side of the river through a huge bridge box. You can also take the elevator to the top of the bridge, walk on it, and enjoy the entire cityscape of Bilbao. The one-way ticket price is 4.5€.
