This guided tour shows us the industrial Bilbao that brought so much joy to the Basque economy. An experience that, under the name of All Iron, shows us the most industrial side of Bizkaia. Why this name? Simple, the expression “All iron”, popularly known in soccer jargon as “Aliron”, owes its name to the sign that the British miners hung in the purest veins of the Basque mines. Thus, when in the 19th century a miner found a pure vein of iron and hung the All Iron sign, the Biscayan miners shouted with joy “Aliron! Aliron!” to celebrate the double pay they were going to get due to the purity of the beta found. A word of joy, which was extrapolated to the sports field when the Athletic Club of Bilbao was proclaimed champion of one of the competitions in which it participated “Aliron Aliron, Athletic champion”. Iron and the industry that was created around this mineral has meant a lot in the province of Bizkaia. An aspect that is put in value along the approximately 25 km that we travel along the left bank of the estuary to reach Muskiz. Knowing this way, great part of the mining area of Bizkaia.
