The stations of the Bilbao Metro are popularly known as "fosteritos", after their designer, Norman Foster, who has won several awards for his unique designs. The fosteritos have become a tourist attraction in and of themselves, a distinctive, landmark element of Bilbao's urban architecture. Not all these stations have the same style; only those in the city centre, in the district of Eixample, the most famous being in Plaza Moya.

Sarriko, which takes Awards

Sarriko, el que se lleva los premios

A pesar de la forma de los fosteritos, que es curvada, el de la estación de Sarriko es distinto, tiene una forma más cuadrangular y está hecho de tal manera que deja entrar la luz solar en parte del andén. A diferencia de otras es, junto con Ansío (y no sé si alguna más), la única que tiene una sola plataforma elevada y una sola salida. No sé si me explico, lo típico es que cada fosterito de a una calle, lo peculiar de Sarriko es que solo hay una opción de salida. Ha recibido varios premios por su singular 'arte'.
Although the shape of the fosteritos, which is curved, the Sarriko station is different, has a more rectangular shape and is made such that lets the solar light part of the platform. Unlike other, along with I long (and I do not know if any more), the only one with a single platform and a single output high. Do not know what I mean, what is that each fosterito typical of a street, Sarriko peculiar is that there is only one exit option. He has received several awards for its unique 'art'.

Los fosteritos son algunos de los accesos al metro. Con forma de concha, protegen de la lluvia las escaleras de acceso a las estaciones.
Fosteritos are some of the accesses to the metro. With a shell shape, they protect the access stairs to the stations from the rain. Called this way by its creator Norman Foster.
