Santurtzi is a working fishing town at the mouth of the Nervión estuary, facing the Cantabrian Sea and known locally as the "sardine capital". It is also the terminus of Metro Bilbao Line 2, making it practical for travellers who stay in Santurtzi and continue into Bilbao by public transport. Your airport transfer is private, chauffeur-driven and booked at a fixed price.

What to expect when arriving in Santurtzi

Santurtzi is a maritime and fishing town rather than a conventional beach resort. Its seafront retains a strong fishing identity, with the waterfront and the monument to "la Sardinera" reflecting the town's long connection with the sale of fresh sardines in Bilbao. If your priority is swimming or a traditional beach holiday, nearby Uribe Kosta destinations offer a different type of coastal setting.

Santurtzi is the end of Metro Bilbao Line 2

Santurtzi station is the terminus of Metro Bilbao Line 2, with a direct connection to the city centre in just over twenty minutes. This can be useful if Santurtzi is your base and you plan to visit Bilbao during your stay: after the airport transfer, the metro provides a low-cost way to continue travelling around the city.

A short airport journey via the A-8

The route from Bilbao Airport to Santurtzi follows the A-8 towards the left bank of the Nervión estuary rather than taking you through central Bilbao. The journey is around 26 km and takes approximately 30 minutes by private transfer. Santurtzi is therefore one of the shorter routes from BIO towards the left bank, alongside destinations such as Portugalete and Barakaldo.

Bilbao Airport to Santurtzi transfer: practical answers

Is Santurtzi a beach destination?

Santurtzi is primarily a fishing town with a seafront rather than a traditional bathing beach destination. For a beach setting, nearby Uribe Kosta locations such as Bakio offer a different option.

Can I be dropped near the Metro Bilbao station?

Yes. When booking, specify that your destination is the town centre and the driver can drop you near Santurtzi station, the terminus of Metro Bilbao Line 2.

I had a 5:30 AM pickup for the airport in Alicante. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, sent a polite text to let me know he was waiting outside, and handled everything with absolute professionalism.

We used Zonetransfers for airport transfers back and forth during a family trip to Madrid. On-time pickups, comfortable vehicles, and very friendly drivers. Will definitely use them again.

We needed to get from Valencia to Barcelona with quite a few bags, so we decided to book a private transfer. The driver arrived on time, helped us with the luggage and we went straight to our hotel in Barcelona. It worked really well for us.

We booked a transfer from Lisbon Airport to Faro as we were staying in the Algarve for a few days. It was a long drive but the car was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We just sat back and enjoyed the trip instead of worrying about trains and changing buses.
