Stage Description
This stage is an urban and peri-urban route that takes the pilgrim out of Bilbao following the Nervión River. The route passes through the industrial and working-class area of the Left Bank, a landscape that testifies to the region's mining and ironworks past. It is a paved stage but of great social and historical interest. The journey ends in Portugalete, with its spectacular Hanging Bridge, World Heritage Site, one of the world's most impressive engineering works.
