We took the metro from the city to Areeta station and took the the Gondola over to Portugalete. It is a 35 minute ride on the metro from the city to Areeta and then another 7 minute walk from the station to the bridge. It is an engineering marvel considering this was built back in 1893 and was the first mechanical transporter bridge in the world. The ingenuity of Alberto de Palacio to design this transporter to join both banks of the river while still allowing transport ships to pass through unhindered to the port of Bilbao is just brilliant. Portugalate is a nice quaint town to visit as well. It is also quite a hilly town and sections of it had escalators to assist the residents in navigating their daily activities around town. Very cool.
