Galdakao

Few towns in the Basque Country have a history as closely connected to industrial development in the Ibaizabal valley as Galdakao. Set east of Bilbao, the municipality occupies a transition between the river corridor and the green hills of inland Bizkaia, rather than the dense core of the metropolis. Factories and transport routes followed the valley during Bilbao’s industrial expansion, a legacy that still explains Galdakao’s close relationship with the wider urban area. Basque is heard alongside Spanish, placing everyday life within the bilingual culture of Euskadi.
