Galdácano is situated in the northern part of Spain, within the Province of Biscay in the Basque Country, just 10 kilometers southeast of Bilbao. Its location offers the best of both worlds: close enough to the vibrant cultural and business hub of Bilbao, while nestled in a more rural, scenic setting. The town lies in a valley surrounded by the hills of the Basque Mountains, offering a mix of lush landscapes and easy access to nature.
Nearby, visitors can explore significant geographical landmarks such as the Nervión River, which flows through the region, and the iconic Urkiola and Gorbeia natural parks, both just a short drive away. Galdácano’s proximity to the Bay of Biscay makes it easy to reach the stunning beaches of the Basque coast, ideal for summer visits.
Galdácano enjoys a temperate oceanic climate, characterized by mild winters and cool summers. The best time to visit is from late spring to early autumn (May to October), when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities and events. Rain is relatively common throughout the year, but the mild temperatures ensure that the city remains comfortable for visitors year-round.
