Encyclopedia > Nervion

The river Nervión runs through the city of Bilbao, Spain into the Bay of Biscay. It is also known as ría de Bilbao/Bilboko itsasadarra ("Bilbao estuary") on its final tract. Some call it Ibaizabal ("wide river") but others are of the opinion that Ibaizabal is just one of the smaller rivers running into Nervion.

Nervión - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (447 words)
The final tract of the Nervion is a waterway of great importance.
Through the centuries, the Nervion valley was a vital communication corridor for Biscay, and the main railroad from Bilbao to the rest of Spain was constructed following the river in 1870.
In 1990 the local authorities launched a plan to overcome this situation, resulting in a constant improvement of the environmental status that after 15 years has transformed the Nervion in a clean river, full of aquatic life.
