The Bilbao viewpoint.

Some of the most emblematic cities in the world have among their tourist assets a viewpoint like the one we present today. In this sense, Iberdrola, a multinational company with more than 170 years of history and deep roots in Bilbao, has decided to provide the capital of Bizkaia with an impressive panoramic viewpoint. A space that many of the people who visited Bilbao demanded to visit. And that is how the Iberdrola Tower viewpoint was born, in response to the suggestions of passers-by who asked about the possibility of contemplating the city from the tower. Said and done. After seeing the enthusiasm with which people came to the open days held in December, after seeing how the tickets available for this initiative were sold out in a matter of hours, those responsible for this central Basque building decided that they should open the viewpoint of the Iberdrola Tower on a continuous basis. In this sense, the management of the Iberdrola Tower wanted to take a firm step forward with the opening of its viewpoint on a regular basis for the next 6 months. We hope that this initiative is consolidated in the tourist panorama of Euskadi and becomes an important part of the catalog of experiences of the capital of Bizkaia. Of course, it has our full support.

Iberdrola Tower.

The Iberdrola Tower is one of the latest buildings to join Bilbao’s incredible architectural heritage. Its creator, the famous Argentine architect Cesar Pelli, designed this 165-meter high tower as a connecting point between Abandoibarra and Moyua Square. Among the most emblematic and prestigious buildings of this world-famous architect are the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur (452 meters) or the Torre de Cristal in Madrid (249.5 meters). Currently, the Iberdrola Tower is the tallest building in the Basque Country and one of the tallest on the Cantabrian coast. Among its most striking figures highlight the fact that its facade is equivalent to 20,000 square meters of plate glass. Almost nothing. Inaugurated in 2012, this building currently houses more than a hundred major companies, including Iberdrola. Thanks to the Torre Iberdrola 360 initiative, from now on, this prestigious building can be visited by anyone who wishes to do so.

Iberdrola.

This Bilbao-based company is one of the most important in the Basque Country. And not only in our territory, Iberdrola leads the European energy sector and is consolidated as one of the most important energy companies in the world. A historic company with more than 170 years of experience behind it. Its current name, Iberdrola, is the result of the merger of Iberduero and Hidrola, two large electric companies that in turn were the result of other previous mergers. Currently, its lines of business could be summarized in the production, distribution and commercialization of energy worldwide. A company that is committed to preserving the environment by creating energy solutions that respect the environment around us. A clear commitment to the future. This is evidenced by its position as number one in renewable energies. These facts, together with its commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and its declaration of intent to close all its coal-fired power plants around the world, have been applauded by the prestigious Greenpeace.
