Bilbao port was built in 1300. The Port of Bilbao is on the eastern side of the Bay of Biscay This privileged geographic location allows the Port to act as a link with the main international ports and it has especially good connections with both the American continent and the north of Europe.
Over 200 regular maritime services link Bilbao with 500 ports worldwide. As in the Basque Country there was a lot of iron ore, it was very industrial some years ago, but it is more a shipping port.
Bilbao’s pre-Guggenheim era was dominated by steelworks, yards and other port activities. But when they built the Guggenheim museum the city started a touristic era.
