Algorta Old Port has survived the passage of time, conserving all its charm. Today, this district with its gaily coloured fishermen’s cottages and narrow streets, is a weekend favourite among the Getxo natives and visitors, who come together to have some glasses of wine, “pintxos” or simply stroll and enjoy the magnificent views of the river mouth.
Points of interest in the Old Port:
-
Old Chapel of San Nicolás: It was founded by the brotherhood seafarers, and first mention of its existence dates back to 1634, when it is cited as the meeting place for the brotherhood members.
-
Arrantzale and Sardinera. Sculptures that pay tribute to yesteryear figures from the Old Port.
-
Etxetxu. Built in the 18th century by the Searfarers’ Brotherhood to hold their meetings and take their decisions.
-
Riberamune. It was the typical meeting place for seamen and fishermen and from which many generations scanned the horizon.
-
Asuerka. A square located under Erriberamune.
-
El Sireno de Getxo (The Getxo Merman) Dynamic work of art.
