context_page_description: Ortuella is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the Autonomous Community of Basque Country, northern Spain.
  Nowadays part of Greater Bilbao region, until the beginning of the 19th century it was integrated in the Valley of Somorrostro of the Encartaciones next to the Santurtzi. In 1901 the locality segregated from the Council of the Santurtzi, those days happening to denominate the Santurce-Ortuella.
