"Also known as the “ Calatrava bridge ” by the architect who built it, it is an arched, white and slender structure that appears to be a sailing ship ten meters above the estuary. Its glazed surface has generated a lot of controversy, which is why today what you step on is a non-slip mat. It unites Uribarte with Campo Volantín and, despite the controversy that has always accompanied it, it is one of the symbols of the city."
