Puerto deportivo de Santurtzi

Tucked into the industrial port town of Santurtzi on the Basque Country's Nervión estuary, this marina sits just a few kilometres from Bilbao and puts you within easy reach of the city's world-class food scene and the Guggenheim. The harbour offers 3-metre water depth and water supply at the berths, making it a solid base if you're exploring the rugged Cantabrian coast. There's a gritty, working-port energy here that sets it apart from glossier marinas — this is real, everyday Basque Spain.
