Easy Metro Access in the Heart of Bilbao
San Mamés is a well-connected subway station on Sabino Arana Etorbidea, offering convenient metro access for residents, visitors, and event-goers exploring Abando and the wider city. Its central location makes it a practical arrival point for discovering Bilbao, attending concerts, or continuing onward through the city’s public transport network.
Accessibility is one of the station’s standout qualities. Visitors describe being able to move through the station and reach the platform smoothly, even after a busy Zetak show when the area was crowded. That makes San Mamés a dependable choice when large events bring extra activity to the neighborhood. Clear movement through the station and straightforward access to the platform help keep the journey manageable during peak periods.
The station also sits within an area rich in local sporting and industrial history. Nearby, Bar Campo de los Ingleses offers a distinctive connection to Athletic Club de Bilbao and the story of the region. Its name recalls the Basque mining tradition and the expression “All Iron,” linked to the miners’ exchanges with their English colleagues when they discovered valuable iron deposits. This gives a simple metro stop an appealing connection to the culture and identity of the city.
For anyone seeking accessible transport in Bilbao, San Mamés combines an easy-to-reach location with a memorable sense of place. Use it as a practical gateway before a match, concert, or day of sightseeing, and take a moment to explore the history surrounding one of the city’s best-known transport hubs.

in the last weekEstación de metro San Mamés, moderna, con dos salidas, una a Termibus donde están los autobuses de largo recorrido, y la estación de tren de cercanías, la otra salida te lleva al estadio de fútbol de San Mamés. Cuidado, en días de partido es posible que por seguridad y aforo cierren la salida de San Mames
