Panoramic view of a wide pedestrian promenade along the Bilbao Estuary, featuring a smooth and continuous surface. Benches, modern streetlights and people walking or resting can be seen in an open, tree-lined environment.

Image of a curved paved ramp connecting two levels of the riverside promenade. The ramp has handrails on both sides and is integrated into an urban setting with views of landmark buildings and pedestrian activity.

View of an urban area next to the Bilbao Estuary featuring a central staircase and a side accessible ramp with metal handrails. The surface is paved with cobblestones and tiles, and the surroundings include decorative streetlights and historic buildings.

View of an open-air market located along the estuary, under a covered structure supported by columns. Many people are browsing flower and product stalls, creating a lively and busy atmosphere along the riverside promenade.

Image of the edge of the promenade along the estuary, protected by a white railing. A metal mesh is installed at the lower part of the railing to provide additional safety and prevent falls to the lower level. On one side, a staircase descends to a lower area close to the water. The setting is urban, with bridges and buildings visible in the background.
