hills with a story to tell.
Real estate in Ortuella pairs hills with proximity. The town sits in Meatzaldea, the old iron-mining district of Biscay, just inland from the mouth of the Bilbao estuary.

Homes around Ortuella
Ortuella is a residential town rather than a luxury enclave. Buyers who look here usually want a house on the hillside with open views, or a practical base near Bilbao with more room than the city allows.
Its neighbours are Santurtzi and Portugalete toward the sea, and Abanto Zierbena and Valle de Trápaga-Trapagaran along the hills. The beaches of western Biscay are close at hand.
