Zubizuri (from euskera language "white bridge"), is an arch bridge over the Nervion estuary, in the northern cSapnish city of Bilbao. It was designed by the valentian architect Santiago Calatrava. The works started in 1990 and it was opened in may 30, 1997.

The design consists of a leaning arch that joins two platforms (with ramps and stairs on both banks) and supports the pedestrian structure with steel cables. The whole bridge is painted in white, a very common thread in Calatrava structures.

Hi Fernado,
This "white brigde" looks very impressive.
You've taken it from a very good point of view.
A good idea that you waited till a few people were passing the bridge.

Regards,
Eddie

Hola Fernando. Me gusta como juegan las lineas del puente con el encuadre que presentas. Es como si de alguna forma se compensaran las unas con las otras. Bonita luz cantábrica. Enhorabuena.
