Sopela, formerly known as Sopelana, is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain. The town is roughly 820 hectares in size, located in the comarca Mungialdea on the north east side of Bilbao and due east of the Nervión river estuary. In the municipality, other former towns like Larrabasterra were annexed to make Sopela larger. The population is 13,878 people, as recorded in the 2019 census. The area of Sopela is situated among green hills and beaches. This makes it a very attractive suburb of Greater Bilbao, with a short commute of 35 minutes on the metro.

When you arrive in Sopelana, you'll be greeted by breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline. The town is famous for its stunning beaches such as Playa de Sopelana, which is perfect for surfing, swimming, and sunbathing. In addition to the beaches, you'll also find a variety of hiking trails that take you through lush forests and up to scenic viewpoints overlooking the ocean.

One of the highlights of Sopelana is its rich history. The town has ancient roots that date back to the Roman Empire, and you can still see remnants of its past in the form of well-preserved ruins and architecture. The most notable of these is the Gothic-style church of San Pedro, which was built in the 14th century and features stunning stained-glass windows and intricate carvings.
