We had a great time in Portugalete. Isabel's son welcomed us at the apartment and gave us a bunch of great recommendations for the area around and the center Bilbao. The little bakery and the pinxto bars around the corner were our absolute favourites. The communication and arranging check-in according to our flight went perfectly smooth.
Thanks again for having us in this lovely place.
From the apartment it is only a little walk uphill to the metro station of Portugalete and a 30 minute ride to the center. The Colgante Bridge is just out of the door as is a nice view down towards it from the Santa Maria terrace just across from the apartment. We would definitely stay here again.
