aLGoRTa, BiLBao



Algorta is my actual hometown. Before living here, I have lived in Bilbao center, where I was born, and then in Leioa until six years ago.

Algorta is a part of Getxo. Apart from Algorta there are other little towns such as Las Arenas and Neguri. One of its atractives are the beaches and the part of the old port. As monument I have to stand out the "Puente Colgante" that is situated in Las Arenas and was declared Humanity patrimony by de UNESCO.

Algorta is the town of Getxo that have more persons. One important thing of Getxo is the public transports. We have the undergroup and buses so we are very communicated with the rest of Bilbao.

The most important buildings are the aixerrota´s mill, the church of "Las Mercedes" and the palace of Lezama-Leguizamon. The aixerrota´s mill is situated in Arrigunaga, the beach of algorta and his name cames because in basque aixe is wind and errota mill.

In general it is a very calm place and very beautiful to live. This and the well communication with other places makes it be a perfect place to lived.
