My hometown: Santurce


Santurce is a port town near Bilbao and it is located in the Bilbao Abra bay, near the mouth of the Nervion river.
I have lived in Santurce since I was born. It is a quite big town which has a population of 47,155 inhabitants. The landscape is beautiful since there are mountains like Serantes and the sea. It is a marine town and we conserve lots of traditions. The life in this area is focused on the sea, which inspires its work and its leisure. Fishing boat and rowing boat races, and the celebrations of the Virgin of the Carmen keep our traditions alive. The think I like most is the gastronomy, based on fish.
I invite everybody to go to Santurce and now more than ever because we are going to have the metro next year.
