Getxo benefits from 10km of coastline comprising of beaches and cliffs. The region also has a fine, open landscape.

 

Getxo's close association with the sea presents a wide selection of water sports and sailing facilities. Getxo has the finest marina in the Basque region with restaurants, waterside cafes, a cinema and many shops. The beaches are excellent quality and two of them have been awarded the European Blue Flag. The beaches have all the facilities you would expect from a modern resort.

 

By far Getxo's pride and joy are its open spaces and unique countryside. Beautiful green, rolling landscape with natural waterways and thick forests with peaceful walkways. A place for true tranquillity. This also lends itself to outdoor pursuits such as biking, horse riding, mountaineering and caving.

 

The region also has its own unique culture. Cultural events are plentiful with concerts, orchestras, sporting events and many exhibitions. The area is also a centre for folk music.
