Bilbao British Cemetery, Military cemetery in Loiu, Spain.

The Bilbao British Cemetery contains 58 Commonwealth War Graves within a dedicated plot, featuring markers and memorials for service personnel from multiple nations.

Established in 1775 near the coast of Biscay, the cemetery relocated to its current position in 1929 due to urban development and port expansion needs.

The cemetery incorporates separate consecrated zones for Anglican and Catholic burials, reflecting the religious diversity of the international community in Bilbao.

Visitors can reach the cemetery by taking the Euskotren from Luchana to Sondika or Bus 3517 from Plaza Moyúa in central Bilbao.

The cemetery holds graves of individuals from ten different nationalities, including British, German, American, Spanish, French, Greek, Irish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Swiss citizens.
