Overview

    The port in Santurtzi, a quintessential seafaring destination and fishing village par excellence, used to bustle with activity when the boats arrived with the daily catch. The Fisherman's Guild, the docks, the boats and the sardineras (fish sellers) were a reflection of that reality. 

     You can't miss seeing the fish market, today home to the Santurtzi Itsasoa Museum. Nearby we can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view over the Bay of Abra from the viewpoint next to the Palacio Oriol. 

    The Plaza Central is home to the town hall and the Iglesia de San Jorge (Church of St. George), the heart of the port town of Santurtzi.

     Discover Explora-Norte's traditional txikiteo or poteo (bar crawl) to the region's most iconic bars.

What to Expect

    You cannot come to Bilbao without approaching this traditional town, even if it is to taste the dish that has made it famous: its sardines! There is almost nothing left of those times when Santurtzi was the most important port for inshore fishing and was visited by the romantic figures of the sardines !! The Fishermen's Guild, the docks, the boats and the sardines were a reflection of that reality. You cannot miss the fish market, today home to the Santurtzi Itsasoa Museum. Discover the beautiful panoramic view of the Bahía del Abra, the open-air sculpture museum, the fishing port and the Paseo de la Reina Victoria where you can appreciate the maritime past of this unique Biscayan town. Ride a stranded fishing boat or find the mystery of corsairs and pirates. The visit ends in the most Bilbao style, we are going for pintxos !! (pintxo-pot included in the tour). The pintxo is the 5th essence, an aperitif the size of a bite
