Getxo, Coastal municipality in Greater Bilbao, Spain.

Getxo spans 11.9 square kilometers along the Bay of Biscay, featuring sandy beaches, cliffs, and green spaces at an elevation of 50 meters.

The area transformed from a fishing village into a residential district during the 19th century when wealthy families from Bilbao established summer homes.

The municipality contains the neighborhoods of Las Arenas, Algorta, Romo, Neguri, and Santa María, each with specific architectural and social characteristics.

The metropolitan area connects to Bilbao through regular metro services, providing transportation for its 78,000 residents and visitors.

The Vizcaya Bridge, constructed in 1893, links Getxo to Portugalete and stands as the oldest transporter bridge of its type.
