Basarrate is a station on lines 1 and 2 of the Bilbao metro. The station is located in the neighborhood of Santutxu, in the district of Begoña, in Bilbao. The name of the station comes from the Campa de Basarrate (Spanish for 'Basarrate field'), as the station is located directly below it. It opened on 5 July 1997.[3]
