Muelle de Churruca, Dock in Las Arenas, Getxo, Spain.

Muelle de Churruca is a dock on the right bank of the Nervión estuary in Las Arenas, Getxo. Its first stretch runs from the Vizcaya Bridge past the Parque de Churruca to Las Arenas beach; beyond the beach, the engineered dock has two pedestrian promenades separated by gardens, ending at a small lighthouse. At the start stands an obelisk monument to Evaristo de Churruca.

Until the late 19th century the site was tidal marsh at the mouth of the Nervión. To remove the sandbar blocking Bilbao's mineral exports, Evaristo de Churruca built this dock on the right bank, paired with the Iron Dock at Portugalete opposite. The works narrowed the channel, let larger ships reach the factories upstream, and shrank the Las Arenas beach to its present triangle.

Locals, especially older residents of Las Arenas, call the dock La Mojijonera, after the mojojones, the Basque name for mussels found among its stones and once prized as a local seasoning. The obelisk at the start of the dock depicts a man defeating Neptune, the Roman sea god, shown in a position of defeat.

The dock is split in two: the first stretch runs from the Vizcaya Bridge to the Parque de Churruca gardens and links to Las Arenas beach; the second, beyond the beach, ends at a small lighthouse. Bicycles count as pedestrians in Getxo, so they share the paths, and dogs may run loose from 18:00 to 11:00.

Local residents called it La Mojijonera because of the numerous mussels that gathered between the dock stones, providing ingredients for regional dishes. This local name reflects the long link between the place and traditional cooking.
