Basauri, Industrial municipality in Greater Bilbao, Spain.

Located at the intersection of the Nervión and Ibaizabal rivers, Basauri extends across 7 square kilometers within the metropolitan area of Bilbao.

The settlement, established in 1510, transformed from a rural community focused on corn cultivation into a significant industrial center during the 20th century.

The San Fausto festival on October 13 brings together residents for traditional Basque music performances and community celebrations with local specialties.

The municipality connects to Bilbao through multiple transportation options, including regular Renfe and Euskotren Trena railway services and the A-8 motorway.

The name derives from Basque language elements 'basa' meaning forest and 'uri' meaning population, reflecting the area's original natural environment.
