Deusto (nestor)

I have always lived in Deusto, which is a district of Bilbao. Deusto is well known for its university, for its tomatoes in the old times, for its bridge, and also because it's a big neighbourhood. Deusto has 52,000 habitants and include the neighbourhoods of San Ignazio, Arangoiti and Zorrozaurre.

Deusto was an independent town until it became a district of Bilbao in 1925. My family has always lived in Deusto since they had moved to Bilbao from Dima (a small town of Bizkaia) long time ago.

Deusto has got a lot of schools like "La Salle", "Salesianos", "Ibaigane"... And there is also our beloved British Council, where we learn a lot of English and spend very nice moments.

As I said before, Deusto it's very famous for its university, which is one of the most important Jesuit Universities and it has got a lot of prestigious in economic careers over the world.

This district of Bilbao is near the "Nervion", the river of the city. In the old days there was a little port near Deusto but the ships tied up in the other side, in the district of Indautxu.

Another famous building of my neighbour is the "Deusto's Bridge" (as we can see in the previous photo) which can be opened so that the ships could pass, because long time ago a lot of boats went to the "Casco Viejo" in order to sail and buy products. This bridge connects Deusto with Indautxu, but there are also more bridges wich connect both districts like the "Euskalduna Bridge" and the "Pasarela Pedro Arrupe", in front of the university.

In conclusion, I recommend everybody to visit Deusto so as to visit the university, walk over the "Deusto's Bridge" and have a walk around the neighbourhood in general.
