Erandio
Erandio is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain.
In 1415, during the War of the Bands, the corregidor, the royally-appointed governor of the Biscayan hermandad, acting on royal orders, siphoned off Biscayan wheat to the Asturias, inciting a rebellion. The Biscayans were defeated at Erandio with the loss of sixty men and the wheat transfers continued.
Several annual festivals are celebrated in Erandio.
The main festivals are Patronal festivals (fiestas patronalesin Spanish) (patronage festivals, held in the days around the date dedicated to the patron saints under whose advocation churches and hermits are).
The local public holiday of the municipality rotates yearly on August 10, August 28 and the corpus Christi day.
Erandio has also celebrated a street music festival called Musikale, with music bands marching and playing in the neighbourhoods of Altzaga and Astrabudua. Musikale had been originally conceived in the neighbouring municipality of Leioa. For some years it was held simultaneously in Leioa, Erandio, Basauri and Sestao, but the other municipalities dropped it, and in 2013 only Erandio organised it.
Other public festivals celebrated in September are the recreation of a traditional rural Basque wedding in Astrabudua, and Erandio Magikoa and open-air Festival of Magic held in different neighbourhoods.
While Asua and Erandio Goikoa are just 3 Km away from Bilbao Airport, other parts of the municipality, like Astrabudua are more than 6 Km away. There is no direct public transport from Erandio to the passenger's terminal, though buses can be taken in the neighbouring municipalities of Loiu and Bilbao.
