The canal system running through the city resembling blood veins and giving it life.

• Vizcaya Bridge - Romanticism in Iron!

  
  Iron can also be romantic. Eiffel Towe is one of those pieces, but if I have to chose, I prefer the Vizcaya Bridge, not only for the beauty but for the utility, transporting people from both banks of a mouth of a river. The only way for two cities to meet!
