Sopelana’s natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere make it a fantastic location for hosting events, particularly outdoor festivals, weddings, and corporate retreats. The town’s beaches provide an idyllic backdrop for beachside events, while the surrounding cliffs offer scenic venues for paragliding and adventure-based gatherings. The nearby Uribe region has several caseríos and traditional Basque farmhouses that have been converted into event spaces, perfect for intimate weddings or cultural events.
For larger events, Sopelana benefits from its proximity to Bilbao, which has several modern convention centers and large hotels that can accommodate business conferences or exhibitions. Event organizers can take advantage of Sopelana’s tranquil atmosphere while still having access to Bilbao’s state-of-the-art facilities.
Annual events like the San Pedro festival, which takes place every June, draw large crowds and are a great opportunity for event planners to integrate local culture into their gatherings. Sopelana’s outdoor and cultural venues offer flexibility for a range of events, from sporting competitions to corporate team-building experiences.
