Barakaldo

Barakaldo occupies the left bank of the lower Nervión estuary in Biscay, within the closely connected Bilbao metropolitan area of the Basque Country. Iron and steel shaped its growth through the 19th and 20th centuries: the Altos Hornos de Vizcaya works made Barakaldo an important centre of Spanish industrialisation. That heritage remains part of the city’s identity, alongside the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, opened in 2004 and now a major venue for fairs and events. Ansio Metro station links the district directly with Bilbao, while the Ría de Bilbao follows the waterway towards the Bay of Biscay.
