On a walk along the estuary

En un paseo por la ría

En un paseo por la ría descubrirás el Cargadero Franco Belga. En 1880 inauguraron un ferrocarril de 9 km para transportar minerales hasta Lutxana, en la ría de Bilbao. Se levantaron tres cargaderos en la ría, que entraron en servicio en 1886, y que entre 1889 y 1893 hubieron de modificarse para dotarlos de mayor altura al tiempo que se prolongaban sus vertederas, para poder acceder a las bodegas de los buques de mayor calado.

Three loading bays were built in the estuary, which entered service in 1886, and between 1889 and 1893 they had to be modified to provide them with greater height while extending their spouts, in order to gain access to the holds of larger vessels.
