Pet-Friendly Attractions in Getxo

The world's first transporter bridge, designed by Alberto de Palacio and inaugurated in 1893, listed UNESCO World Heritage in 2006 as the only Spanish entry in the Industrial Heritage category. The bridge has been officially dog-friendly since December 2017, with dogs up to 40 kg accepted in the lateral passenger compartment of the gondola.

A picturesque medieval fishing port descending in stone-stepped plazas to the Cantabrian water, with white houses, fishermen's cottages and a stair-amphitheatre that fills with pintxo-eating crowds on weekend evenings. The whole quarter is pedestrianised and open to leashed dogs.

An 18th-century stone windmill on the Galea clifftop, restored as a restaurant and the starting point of the Punta Galea cliff trail, with the nearby Fuerte de La Galea coastal artillery battery as a second historic landmark. Both are visitable from outside with a leashed dog and free of charge.
