A Tribute to Literary Greatness: The Statue of Miguel de Unamuno

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the iconic Guggenheim Museum, head south on Avenida Abandoibarra towards the river. Cross the Zubizuri Bridge (the white curved bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava). Once you reach the other side, continue straight on Calle de la Ribera until you hit Plaza de la Virgen Blanca. From there, turn left onto Calle de la Estación and follow it until you reach Plaza Unamuno. The Estatua de Miguel de Unamuno will be in Unamuno Miguel Plaza, which is a short walk from there.

• Public Transport

  From the Abando train station, take the Metro Line 1 (the red line) towards Etxebarri. Get off at the 'Termibus' station (only one stop). Exit the station, and head east on Avenida de Gran Bilbao. Continue straight until you reach Plaza de la Virgen Blanca. From there, turn left onto Calle de la Estación and walk to Plaza Unamuno. The Estatua de Miguel de Unamuno is located at Unamuno Miguel Plaza, just a short walk away.

• Walking

  If you are near the Casco Viejo area, start at Plaza Nueva. Head northeast towards Calle de la Esperanza and continue straight until you reach Plaza del Sagrado Corazón. From there, turn right onto Calle de la Estación. Follow this road until you arrive at Plaza Unamuno. The Estatua de Miguel de Unamuno will be located in Unamuno Miguel Plaza, which is easily visible from the square.
