The seaside suburb where the river meets the sea — the UNESCO hanging bridge, a grand old promenade, marina and beaches. Calmer, breezier and family-friendly, 20 minutes from the centre on the metro; a relaxed base by the water.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 13.Vizcaya Bridge — The world's oldest transporter bridge, a UNESCO wonder of iron from 1893 that ferries cars and people across the river mouth in a hanging gondola. Ride it, or walk the vertigo-inducing high walkway for a great estuary view.
- 15.Getxo beaches & promenade — At the estuary mouth, Getxo strings together sandy Ereaga and Arrigunaga beaches, a marina and a grand cliff-top promenade of old mansions. An easy sea-air escape on the metro; swim, stroll and eat grilled fish.
