They come by airplane, bus, or boat and in 2011 reached the amount of 742,129 visitors descending through the years after, reaching 729.167 visitors in 2013. The main reason for this decline is the crisis. But this influx of visitors also directly affects the flow city money. Tourism is an important factor in the city in the future can create new jobs, which together with the cash flow created can enhance the city as this money can be spent on other issues. IRON Iron is part of the history of Bilbao, its growth over the centuries due to its iron mines which had characteristics that made it unique for conducting a process and therefore unique in Europe for. Therefore, iron or iron ore found in Bilbao's mines is a “stock”, but this produces a series of “flows”, either by exporting ore to other cities as the entry of ships to build, repair and scrapping. This iron was known for being special, but the processes for their production are the same for years. We should improve this process and try to take profit from waste, as well as increasing the reuse of material. FREIGHT Freight transport in Bilbao gives the role of largest port in northern Spain, mainly having links with Russia, UK, Mexico, USA, China and India with a total weight of 30 million tonnes transported. Bilbao works in this case as a gateway between Spain and other countries, so do not make a mistake whilesaying that we're clearly talking about a “flow”. The biggest problem is the pollution created by this, maybe in the future we can create an international network of transportation to reduce this pollution. Should also try to use materials and objects produced in the city.
