Areeta (''Las Arenas'' in Spanish) is a neighbourhood of Getxo (Biscay, Basque Country, Spain). It is an affluent residential area that was built over the sands of a beach where the Gobela Creek died into a diffuse delta at the mouth of the Estuary of Bilbao in the early 20th Century. It is connected to Portugalete at the other side of the firth by the Zubi Esekia and offers a marina, a small beach that can unfortunately be polluted, and a monument to Evaristo Churruca, who planned and directed the canalization of the estuary. The Zubi Esekia is now a tourist attraction with visitors able to go by lift to the top of the bridge (from where it was originally operated). ==Neighbourhoods== It can be divided in three neighbourhoods: *Central Areeta, around the Main Street, location of many shops, restaurants and bars. *Santa Ana, a quiet residential area, named after the small church located in the eponymous plaza. *Zugazarte, an area of more affluent homes along a road and park, looking to the sea and neighbouring Neguri. Sometimes the neighbouring district of Erromo is also included in Areeta but this is surely a misuse, as Erromo was built for the working classes and was separated by the suburban railroad until it was recycled by the Metro Bilbao in its subway system and by the canalized Gobela creek. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Las Arenas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
