View at night across the Nervion river towards the illuminated Guggenheim Museum. Taken from beneath the Pasarela Pedro Arrupe bridge, Bilbao, Spain


Designed by engineer José Antonio Fernández Ordóñez, the work was completed after his death by his son Lorenzo and opened in 2004. It is a very visual and impressive construction (it looks like a big dragonfly), and is finished with a covering of Lapacho wood, treated to prevent people slipping. This modern pedestrian bridge, built between the Abandoibarra Walk and the Avenue of the Universities, next to Deusto University, it is dedicated to the Bilbao priest Pedro Arrupe, a innovator of the Society of Jesus who died in Rome in 1991.
