After 40 years, which is said to be soon, Bilbao is preparing for the great celebration of the Copa del Rey title won by Athletic in Seville against Mallorca this Saturday. On Thursday, the streets of Bizkaia will be full of people, specifically, more than a million people will pay tribute to the champions at the passing of the Gabarra. And, for all this, the city is taking all possible measures so that there are no incidents and so that everything goes well.
To celebrate the title, the Bilbao metro will offer service throughout the night on Thursday, April 11, as announced in a statement.
Furthermore, in the afternoon the subways will pass every three minutes through the common trunk of the suburban. In the letter, the metro organization also recommends that users travel in advance, carry the Barik (recharged transportation card) and respect all instructions from the staff.
This is not the only measure that will be carried out by the city. Some schools in Bizkaia are sending circulars to parents stating that school classes will end earlier than planned. This measure, as they have indicated, has been adopted “in order to avoid expected traffic congestion and to guarantee safe access for students to their homes.” However, it is an inconvenience for those fathers and mothers who have to work and who cannot leave work early.
Safety device
The city will also have extensive security throughout the day. In this sense, the General Administration of the State will provide 15 boats, 100 members of the Civil Guard, a helicopter and an underwater drone to the security device organized by the descent of the Gabarra in the celebration events of the Copa del Rey del Athletic.
Likewise, the Civil Guard will be deployed throughout the Bilbao Estuary and the Maritime Captaincy has determined the requirements of the skippers of the vessels participating in the event.
The legendary Athletic barge is already on the Nervión estuary to become the axis of the celebrations for the Cup title. 60 people will be able to get on the boat and in addition, as the club has announced, the quota of 160 has been filled boats that will be able to accompany the barge on its journey, with prior registration that ranged between 250 and 3,000 euros.
