Old Port of Algorta
The Old Port is located in the lower part of the Algorta neighbourhood in Getxo, next to the beach of Ereaga, surrounded by sea and cliffs.
It is a place that transports its visitors to a small fishing village, where they combine the old buildings where the sailors lived with the hustle and bustle of the bars where you can taste some pintxos looking at a beautiful unique landscape of the Biscayan coast.
The festivities of this beautiful fishing port transform the place where popular customs are the center of interest that brings together inhabitants and tourists in a unique day full of music and Basque fishing tradition.
