Santutxu (spelled as Santuchu when written in Spanish) is one of the most populous neighbourhoods of Bilbao ( Basque Country). It belongs to the 4th urban district, named Begoña. It is a popular residential neighbourhood which has also a relatively strong commercial area, including three food retail markets.
