There’s a lot to see in Portugalete - plenty of information at the Tourist Office. The nearest beach is just minutes away
The hanging bridge (puente Colgante) is an extraordinary piece of engineering and is the most predominant feature here
There’s a produce market - fruit/veg/flowers and plants three times a week.
There are boat trips too but these only operate at weekends from 15 September
We found a great Mexican restaurant in the old town

The bridge is interesting, but you can't spend a week looking at a bridge!
El Bote tour around the bay and up river to the city center is very good value for money and highlights the contrast between the depressed industrial wastelands and the modern developments in the city.
Many of the attractions in the Tourist office leaflet were permanently closed, ie Getxo Aquarium and the Salazar Tower, so check websites first.
Although there are lots of bars and cafes, we had problems finding restaurants open within elderly walking distance. We had a great lunch in Náutico Berria but when we went again one evening without booking, found that the kitchen is only open in the evenings at the weekend.

It was the festival to celebrate 700 years since the founding of the town, so there was a lot to see and do. Portu is an interesting place down by the river and Puente Colgante. It is easy to get to Bilbao and other places. There are lots of friendly bars and people.

The location of the room was excellent, with views up and down the river.
The staff were very helpful. The bar and restaurant were very good, with a truly excellent Breakfast.
The parking was on site and very accessible.
Really friendly staff. We were upgraded to a better room on request as my wife wasn't feeling well. There is a restaurant in the hotel which is handy in the event that you want to stay put for an evening. Free coffee and hot chocolate available in what looks like an old confessional! Real quirky touch. Location just beside the hanging bridge means you can cross the river to the flatter and more upmarket side easily. A handy stopover for Ferry passengers. Parking available under the building. Would use it again before catching Ferry.
Beautiful apartment, very clean and as described. Had everything we needed for our week. Great transport links. There’s a supermarket right next door open until 9pm. Short walk to Portugalete metro station (buy a Barik card and top up from the machine in the station) and short walk to the bridge over to Getxo (for the beach) and you can use your Barik card for the crossing. Great play areas close by if you have little ones. Host was lovely.
Welcoming hosts. Spacious, clean and comfortable flat among Portugalete locals. Free parking for our car (potluck for a nearby parking space but we were lucky). A short walk to the metro. A 15 minute walk to the river in Portugalete.
A lovely hotel and bar, lively with mainly locals in the evening. The accommodation was unbelievable and so clean. Be aware it is the opposite side of Onton to where you will be following the Camino trail😁
Great apartment in the center of Portugalete, near the Bizkaya bridge, well equipped with everything you'll need for a family of up to 5 people. There is a foldable bed in the living room.
