About this gallery

This gallery follows Bilbao, in the Spanish Basque Country, along the Nervión estuary. The city shows its contrasts: the titanium curves of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum, Santiago Calatrava's Zubizuri footbridge and its cables, the glass towers of Abandoibarra, among them the Iberdrola Tower, and the University of Deusto among the trees.

From the heights of Artxanda, apartment blocks rise in tiers between the mountains under a grey sky. In town, the city hall and its statues of Justice and the Law, the Cathedral of Saint James, a colourful staircase, palm trees before a red facade, black and white graffiti and the steel beams of a bridge tell of an industrial city transformed by contemporary architecture. On the nearby coast, a refinery flare recalls that working-class past.
