Vizcaya Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Indeed for 90 cents you get over and cyclists do not have to queue at all. You join after the cars and pay during the crossing.

Crossing the river on the ferry, really should stare at the top of the bridge!

Larreineta Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Great switch back road leading up Larreineta Funicular stop & beyond. It does never get too steep & good surface all the way, perfect !

Playa de La Arena

Highlight • Beach

A large beach with dark sand, next to the mouth of the Barbadún river. It has sand that stains because it comes from rocks with iron ore.

Start of the Cycle Highway

Highlight • Cycleway

Magnificent cycle path between Barakaldo and La Arena. The pavement is in very good condition and the lanes are wide and segregated from the road.

Greenway of the Montes del Hierro

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This cycle path is an exemplary example of what a successful cycle infrastructure looks like. It takes you from the beach town of La Arena to the center of Barakaldo (or the other way around). The path is not a bicycle path that has been removed from the car path with street paint, but rather it is an independent path with a surface that is easy to roll on. At the beginning (or end) of the path you drive through a quiet valley on a slight incline.
