    The lighthouse is located at the entrance to the Bilbao estuary. It is a beautiful walk along the cliffs and the Cantabrian sea. There is an exercise area and benches to rest looking at the sea.

    Hiking

    From the Punta Galea lighthouse there is a walk along the entire coast with incredible views of the cliffs and also some beaches that are difficult to access.
    You can find model airplane flights and paragliding.

    You can also do the bike ride and alternative paths.

    Lighthouse located on the Basque coast of Getxo with impressive views of the sea from its location on the top of a cliff. Since its construction in 1852, it has been an important reference for navigation in the area. Currently, it is still in operation and is one of the most emblematic places on the Bizkaia coast.
