Loiu

Among the municipalities of the Basque Country, Loiu stands out as the home of Bilbao Airport. It lies in the Txorierri valley, where the Asúa River runs through a low, green corridor north of Bilbao, placing the settlement between the city and the Bay of Biscay coast. The airport’s white terminal, designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava and opened in 2000, is Loiu’s most recognisable modern landmark. Beyond its transport role, the municipality remains part of a traditionally Basque-speaking rural area shaped by scattered farmhouses and small hamlets.
