I was in Bilbao last week and I saw this building that seemed out of place with its surroundings. It looked abandoned (broken windows, graffiti) but very imposing. And it probably had a great view.

I am attaching a photo to help

  • r/evilbuildings. I used to go in that elevator a lot when I was a kid! You would pay it with a bus-pass. Google "ascensor de begoña" for more results (more than if you would google it in Basque at least)

It is an elevator, by which you could reach the Parque Extebarria and the Basilica Begoña. According both to (Basque-only) Wikipedia article and various other sources it was in use until 2014 and later abandoned. It's still not functioning as of July 2017.
