Lamiako floodplain

The boulevard along the river estuary from Erandio to Leioa will take you through the Lamiado municipal district. From the mid-20th century, this whole area underwent a spectacular urban transformation due to its proximity to the beaches.

The trader Máximo Aguirre was its driving force and planned the building of luxury housing in Las Arenas and Santa Ana, in Getxo, while the leisure, farming and industrial activities were in Leioa. Nowadays, Lamiako still has important remnants of that trail-blazing urban planning; it is one of the remarkable industrial landscapes of the whole of Bizkaia that can be enjoyed as you take your time walking or cycling along its spectacular waterfront overlooking the river estuary.
