An abundance of palaces in Spain are places to visit. Time capsules of history to experience and explore. But in the Basque town of Getxo in greater Bilbao, there’s currently one being sold as several separate residences or apartments.
The palace of Eguzki Alde, which translates from the Basque to "sunny side," is a prime example of the regional architectural style called neo-montanesque with its columns, decorative cornices, ball-topped pinnacles and tower. Among the five flats within are two on the upper floors, which along with the tower, can be combined into a single dwelling.
Bilbao is known for its food and art scenes. A trip to the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a necessity for contemporary art enthusiasts. Michelin-starred restaurants, the historic city center, parks, gardens, surfing, paragliding and golf are among other attractions.

00:00 An abundance of palaces in Spain are places to visit, time capsules of history to experience and explore.
00:07 But in the Basque town of Guecho, in Greater Bilbao, there's currently one being sold as several separate residences.
00:15 The Palace of Aigúsquialde, which translates from Basque to "sunny side," is a prime example of the regional architectural style called "Neomontanesque."
00:26 With its columns, decorative cornices, ball-topped pinnacles and tower.
00:32 Designed by noted architect Leonardo Rucabado in 1918, the six-story edifice is set in the seafront Neguri district,
00:41 which at the time was a popular holiday spot where wealthy families built mansions.
00:46 Today, the established residential community retains the reputation of being a prestigious place to live, known for its tranquil lifestyle and safety.
00:56 The solid stone palace stands out for its height and elegant vertical shape.
01:01 A tower stretches above the hipped roof.
01:05 Balconies and terraces create outdoor living spaces.
01:09 The building has been completely refurbished with contemporary luxury interiors and minimal energy consumption in mind.
01:16 Extensive windows fill the interiors with light. Views take in the sea, beach, marina and bay.
01:24 Among the five flats within are two on the upper floors, which along with the tower can be combined into a single dwelling.
01:32 A large living room with a fireplace, kitchen and dining room are on the lower of the two levels.
01:39 Seamless cabinetry with an integrated wine fridge are among features in the chef's kitchen.
01:45 There's another living room with a kitchenette on the top floor.
01:50 More than 5,700 square feet of living space contains six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, two laundry rooms and a powder room.
01:59 The tower adds about another 160 square feet that can be used as a study, gym or art studio.
02:07 The half acre of grounds contains several gardens, a swimming pool, underground garages and storage rooms.
02:15 The asking price for the two combined units is 4.75 million euros or more than $5 million US.
