Bilbao Exhibition Centre

Bilbao Exhibition Centre, Convention center in Barakaldo, Spain

The Bilbao Exhibition Centre is a large convention complex in Barakaldo featuring six open-plan exhibition halls, a shopping mall, hotel, and office spaces arranged across its grounds. The layout accommodates everything from trade shows to corporate meetings and cultural events in its multiple venues.

The center opened in 2004 on land once occupied by the Altos Hornos de Vizcaya steelworks, marking a shift from heavy industry to modern services. This transformation reshaped the industrial landscape of the Ansio neighborhood.

The Bizkaia Arena within the complex serves as one of Spain's largest multipurpose halls, drawing performers, athletes, and crowds regularly. Concerts, sporting events, and regional gatherings here shape the rhythm of life in the region.

The complex offers extensive parking with 4,000 underground spaces and straightforward access to public transit through the nearby Los Fueros Square. Visitors can arrive comfortably by car or public transportation.

The roof of the complex hosts solar panels that generate renewable energy for the facility's operations. This energy-efficient feature reflects the center's commitment to sustainable practices.
