Paseo Campo Volantin, Riverside promenade in Bilbao, Spain.
The promenade extends from Bilbao City Hall to La Salve Plaza along the right bank of the Nervion River, connecting through the Zubizuri Bridge.
Initially known as Las Ibarras in the 14th century, the area gained its current name in the 17th century when a rope-making facility with a large wheel was established.
The promenade features Jorge de Oteiza's sculpture 'Ovoid Variation of the Sphere's Disoccupation' positioned in front of the City Hall.
The walkway provides separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists, with multiple access points to public transportation and nearby cafes.
During the late 19th century, the area transformed into a residential district where wealthy merchants built houses overlooking the river.

Bilbao combines contemporary art with Gothic architecture and offers visitors insight into Basque culture and history. The Guggenheim Museum draws art enthusiasts from around the world with its sculptural titanium facade, while the Fine Arts Museum houses a significant collection of classical and modern works. The Mercado de la Ribera, an Art Nouveau structure on the riverfront, is Europe's largest covered market and showcases the region's culinary traditions. The old quarter clusters around the Gothic Cathedral of St. James and Plaza Nueva, whose 19th-century arcades shelter bars and restaurants. Along the Nervión, historic bridges like Arenal Bridge and modern structures like Zubizuri Bridge connect both riverbanks. The Begoña Basilica sits above the city and provides views across the rooftops and hills. The Arriaga Theatre and Euskalduna Palace represent different architectural periods, while Azkuna Zentroa repurposes an early 20th-century wine warehouse as a cultural center. The Artxanda funicular railway enables panoramic views across the entire urban area and surrounding mountains.
