HISTORY
The Getxo Red Cross of the Sea is based in one of the municipality's most emblematic buildings: the Casa del Náufrago (Castle of the Shipwrecked).
Located at the so-called Punta de Begoña, at the beginning of the Algorta counter-dock, next to the old port of Arriluze, the Casa del Náufrago (Castle of the Shipwrecked) was built in 1912 to house the Shipwrecked Rescue Society of the time.
This completely independent altruistic group was made up of a few local fishermen and seamen who, despite their limited resources, came to the aid of sailors in the event of a disaster.
