The Muelle de Churruca, a fine quaywith good views, extends from the station past the Puente Vizcaya (p. 23)and ends in a mole, 8/s M. long, erected to protect the harbour. The Light-house at the end of the mole commands a splendid view of the bay. Onthe low E. bank are Las Arenas, Algorta, and the Punta de Galea, and onhe steep W. bank is Santurce, all with pretty villas and commanded byhe fort on the Monte de Serantes (electric tramways to Bilbao, see p. 20). ?•??<? /. c j^^^»^mm^m- 1:15000 Mli^ i &w$ -?Mmm ^^ A B c , p | j: Wagner i-DfbPSjiCTpK
