Secret Getxo: mansions, shipwrecks and sailors by the sea

Hello, dear travelers!

I'm Laura, and I want to show you my beloved town: Getxo. Just 14 km from Bilbao, it hides one of the most special corners of the Basque Country, and one of its best-kept secrets.

Together we'll stroll along the majestic promenade lined with grand villas, flanked by mansions steeped in centuries of history, until we reach the picturesque Old Port of Algorta. A place where time seems to stand still, and where locals gather to enjoy pintxos, rabas, and txakoli, the quintessential Basque white wine.

And we won't leave without talking about the star of the show: the Getxo Hanging Bridge, the oldest of its kind in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As a tourism professor, I can tell you much more than just facts: I'll talk about the history, architecture, gastronomy, and soul of this land that I love so much. I look forward to seeing you!
