Right Bank (Biscay)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The right bank of the river Nervión in Biscay, Spain is part of the Metropolitan Area of Bilbao and is formed by the towns of Getxo, Leioa and Erandio, its territory is often merged with Uribe-Kosta. Traditionally is known as the place of the owners of industry (the bourgeois or capitalists) living in the chalets of Neguri.

The "Puente Colgante" joins it with the Left Bank. The distinction between the two banks has dimmed as the industrial crisis and the lack of building space caused the population of both to merge, and many chalets gave way to apartment blocks. However, both banks are still distinguishable by economic, demographic and political measures.
