Minutes away from Bilbao in Northern Spain is the municipality of Getxo. It is located on the Bilbao Estuary, close to the Arenas district of Bilbao, and is connected to Spain's 6th largest city by a short underground metro journey. Within Getxo is Algorta, the main centre of urbanisation in Getxo and one of the best outlying areas of Bilbao in which to purchase Spanish property.
Getxo is blessed with some 10kms of dramatic coastline. Sandy beaches, two of which have been awarded the EU Blue Flag, alternate with steep cliffs and rocky headlands. Along the waterfront is a fine array of Spanish property, including some interesting buildings that can only be described as early 20th century palaces. Getxo property here is some of the most sought-after in the province.
The old harbour area or Algorta is where many of Getxo's fine restaurants can be found, along with excellent nightlife venues and plenty of shopping opportunities. Algorta is also an important base for Getxo's excellent water sports facilities.
Away from the urbanised coastline, Getxo becomes quite rural very quickly. Getxo property gives way to green rolling hills and forested areas - perfect for investors looking for a tranquil spot in which to buy a villa in Spain, yet who want to remain close to excellent city amenities.
