Barakaldo, Industrial municipality in Greater Bilbao, Spain
Barakaldo extends along the Left Bank of the Bilbao Estuary, covering 29 square kilometers with a population of 101,229 residents in 2023.
The municipality experienced substantial growth between 1880 and 1900 due to iron works, mining railways, and the establishment of a dynamite factory.
The municipality celebrates Las Fiestas del Carmen in July, featuring outdoor concerts and local festivities that represent Basque traditions.
Four Metro Bilbao stations and two Cercanías train stations connect Barakaldo to the metropolitan area, while Kbus provides urban transportation services.
The transformation from industrial center to modern urban space includes the Bilbao Exhibition Centre and numerous street sculptures throughout the city.
