Where to stay in Portugalete
Portugalete is a small, walkable town, so staying in the Town Centre puts you close to the Folklore Azoka and the famous Vizcaya Bridge. The Ribera Waterfront is another good bet, with easy access to the market area and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.
If you prefer more options, the neighbouring city of Bilbao is just a short metro ride away and offers a much wider choice of accommodation, including the well-regarded Hotel Silken Indautxu.
