Miribilla is a district of Bilbao located on an ancient iron deposit. The three mines operating in the area have long since disappeared and in 1998 urban development of the area began and lasted until 2003, by which time around 440,000 square meters of land had been redeveloped and some 3,000 dwellings built.
In 2004 Ineco began construction of the Miribilla commuter station which would provide the district with rapid, efficient transit to the rest of the city's areas and adjacent localities.
In 2008, after three and a half years of work, the station was opened and Miribilla was connected with Bilbao's commuter network. The work of Ineco's engineers was a key factor in a complex construction process due to the hardness of the limestone rock and the steeply sloping terrain.
The station is located nearly 50 metres underground, the deepest of any Adif station. The main entrance façade is glazed so that it resembles a huge glass box and from the outside gives an impression of airy lightness.
Ineco aimed to give the station a special touch. Inside, the walls of the lifts and of some of the internal structures are also made of glass so the user's transit through the station is a unique experience. Even the floor is glass in some places and is lighted from the hallway below.
