Where to stay in Algorta
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds answer to Getxo rather than to Algorta alone, since the district holds little of its own and most arrivals book across the wider municipality and walk in to the Church of Andra Mari. The old core repays walking. Casa Amorotoena, Casa Udaetxe and Ansoleaga etxea stand within the same few streets, which makes a room inside Algorta worth hunting for anyone whose day is built around that architecture rather than around the rest of Getxo.

About Algorta
What are the main landmarks in Algorta?
The Church of Andra Mari anchors the older ground. Around it the list runs mostly to houses, seventeen of them entered under their own names, among which Casa Amorotoena, Casa Udaetxe, Casa Uriarte, Casa Itxasluze, Casa Rochelt and Casa Llorente recur. The Palacio de Zubiaga stands alone.
Two further churches, the Iglesia de San Ignacio and the Iglesia de Santa Maria, close the religious count, while Antigua Villa Isabel and Ansoleaga etxea keep their places on the same Algorta roll.
What is the history of Algorta?
Algorta enters Getxo's record with its founding year missing. What it carries instead is a run of house names, Casa Amorotoena and Casa Udaetxe and Casa Rochelt and Antigua Villa Isabel among them, filed one by one, with a further entry identified by nothing more than its address at the corner of the Bajada a Ereaga. Churches mark the older layer.
The Church of Andra Mari stands with the Iglesia de Santa Maria and the Iglesia de San Ignacio, and the Palacio de Zubiaga is the single palace on everything Algorta brought with it into Getxo.
Where is Algorta?
Algorta forms one quarter of the Spanish municipality of Getxo, with the Church of Andra Mari and the Palacio de Zubiaga inside its bounds.
