Situated in the distinguished region of Getxo, Las Arenas, also known as Areeta, is a prosperous residential neighbourhood developed on the sandy shores of a beach by the Estuary of Bilbao in the early 20th century. The area is renowned for its majestic Vizcaya Bridge, a significant landmark of the Industrial Revolution, and is linked to Portugalete through this iconic transporter bridge.

Areeta is well-served by public transport, with Metro Bilbao and BizkaiBus ensuring swift and easy travels to and from the neighbourhood. A convenient Barik card can be used not only for the metro and bus system, but also to cross the Vizcaya Bridge. A quaint passenger ferry operates across the river, creating a charming commute between Areeta and Portugalete.
