Getxo




I was born in Bilbao but I have lived in Getxo all my life, in the neighbourhood of Santa Maria de Getxo.

Santa María de Getxo (in basque Getxoko Andra Mari) is one of the five districts that are in the municipality of Getxo, Biscay, Basque Country in the north of Spain.

Getxo is a tursitic place (there is a famous bridge called "Puente Colgante" , a lot of big and beautiful houses near the beach of Ereaga...) and also you can go to beaches in summer, there are four:Las Arenas, Ereaga, Arrigunaga and Azkorri.

My neighbourhood includes the historical Church of Andra Mari, before which the municipal council met historically and one metro stop. It has two beaches: Azkorri and Arrigunaga, including in also the cape of Punta Galea.

There is an old part thart appears in the photo, it´s very beautifull to see it. There are white little houses and a port.
