Bilbao Travel Forum

My son and his friend will be spending 8 days in the Bilbao area starting July 19. They are mainly interested in the skate place in Algorta and the Ocean. I assume it is really hard to find a budget place at a beach area at this time of year, but would appreciate any suggestions. My son's friend speaks Spanish fluently so a place where only Spanish is spoken would not be a problem.

We have looked at info on youth hostels posted in this forum, but cannot quite picture how it would be to get from the youth hostel(s)to the beach.

Thanks!
