Sarriko is a station on lines 1 and 2 of the Bilbao metro. The station is located in the neighbourhood of Ibarrekolanda, part of the Deusto district. It is named after the Sarriko park located nearby. The station is in close proximity to the Faculty of Business and Economic Sciences of the University of the Basque Country as well as the conservatory of music. It was opened on 11 November 1995.^[3]

Station layout

Unlike the other underground stations within the city, Sarriko does not follow the typical cavern-shaped layout, but it is instead made up of a big single space, with a big crystal shelter allowing sunlight to reach the platform level. It was designed by Norman Foster, with a main hall located suspended directly above the rail tracks. In 1998 it was awarded the Brunel Award to railway stations.^[4]
