Puente de Vizkaya, Getxo, Bilbao

Just because Bilbao's beaches aren't the best in the world, doesn't mean there is nothing to see in the area around Bilbao. This bridge was the first of its kind in the world (with a transporter to carry the traffic) and is Bilbao's only UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tourist literature ambitiously claims that the Puente Vizkaya is reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower, which in a way is true, as they're both made of steel.
