Muelle de Arriluce, 1 Bilbao 48990 Spain |
Situated in the residential municipality of Getxo and very close to the Puerto Viejo de Algorta, is the recently constructed Puerto Deportivo El Abra-Getxo (marina). These nautical sports installations mean to become the first marina in the Basque country and the best on the Cantabrian coast, attracting many people to its two very different areas. It has a shopping and recreational area with a multicinema complex that can seat up to 2,000 people, and a walkway with restaurants, cafeterias and bars; then there is an area where boats are maintained and repaired, and all kinds of nautical equipment can be bought. All in all it's an area that, along with its parking facilities, makes for one of the most attractive locations in the Getxo area. Review © 2007, Wcities |
