🇪🇸 Where to live in Bilbao

Bilbao's residential areas fall into a few clear types: the dense old core and the elegant grid beside it, hillside barrios built around local commerce, riverbank districts tied to the university and the north bank, and the coastal edge at Getxo. Every area on this list has a rapid-transit station within a few minutes' walk, so the real differences are in atmosphere and density rather than access. The centre is compact and shop-lined, while the outer barrios are more residential and locally focused.
