Dorita's apartment is very attractive and recently renovated. It is located in the old quarter of Portugalete a very short distance from the cable car and 4 minutes walk to the metro line which takes 20 minutes to central Bilbao. Using the metrocard makes travel very reasonably priced in Bilbao. The apartment has everything you could need well equipped, spacious and attractive views of surrounding streets where there are small bars, fruit and bakery shops. Dorita met us outside the apartment and kindly agreed to meet earlier than l planned due to the efficiency of public transport. Dorita makes the apartment welcoming and provides tourist ideas to introduce you to Portugalete. Due to narrow streets parking is not suitable but this has the advantage of making Portugalete quiet during the week. It is livelier at the weekend as is common in Spain in a family friendly way as the small tapas bars open till 1am, l didn't find this a problem and enjoyed the atmosphere. There is a convenient tourist information centre on the promenade and a little fruit and flower market three times a week. It's a great base to explore Bilbao and the Basque Country.
