Art Deco in Getxo +

By the riverside on our approach to the Vizcaya Transporter Bridge I spotted this beauty:-
The doorway had some fine detailing:-

This port/marina building is also in the deco/moderne style. Spot two ships’ funnels behind it:-
Closer view. It’s like an 1930s airport tower only with porthole windows:-
Reverse view looking back to Getxo. Those “English” buildings are prominent to the upper left. The main part of Getxo itself is off to the right:-
There was another Fred. Olsen line ship docked at the same time as ours, the Boudicca. Both are seen here from the pier approach:-
SS Black Watch. The bow has a very angled rake:-
