I've been to Bilbao twice and didn't even know that was there.
Can we sue?

Potugalete and Getxo are somewhat more desirable than Port Clarence and St Hilda’s … I’d say ours is perhaps a little more aesthetically pleasing than the Vizcaya , it is twenty years younger. The Bridge serves more of an everyday purpose because it’s right in the community and seems to be constantly busy.
atypical - it’s somewhat upstream of the main city -kind of like a north to South Shields type of dynamic ( with Bilbao being Newcastle in the example) .
Bilbao is great, anyone visiting should prob go here for a look, easy on the metro or maybe a river boat trip.

I've been back and forth on the one in Rochefort and that also had pictures of the other bridges on display. Does our visitors centre have pictures of the other transporter bridges?

I honestly don't remember, was quite drunk for most of it. But I don't think I did.

This sounds like me when I talk to people about all of the countries and locales I've been to in my military and offshore careers, and they ask me what it was like and what I did while I was there.............

Sent these pics to my Sunderland supporting mate.

Sounds like a good North East connection with atletico bilbao playing in red and white stripes following a donation from the mackems in 1910. Bilbao’s shirts were the same as San Sebastien‘s who they were due to play in their new stadium.

Middlesbrough (United Kingdom)
The Middlesbrough bridge is somewhat more complex than mixed structure and cables or even "supporting structure" bridges, since it actually consists of two cantilever or "cantilever" type half-bridges. that come together in the center of the light. With one hundred and forty meters of span and vertical anchorage, this bridge has been in service since 1911, although it underwent a major restoration a decade ago and continues to work discreetly, at least on weekdays.

Aye thats it. I was definitely hungover as well.
In the spirit of bringing things together, I once spent a lovely afternoon in there drinking red wine and coca cola.

If we end up with the same cafe culture either side of the Vizcaya Bridge - I’m all for that

Me neither. I bet Uncle Tony will be trying to get Newport twinned with Bilbao before you can say ‘Adama, Adama, Adama, Give It Adama’
