Kabiezes is the northern terminus of line 2 of Metro Bilbao. It is located in the neighbourhood of Kabiezes, in the municipality of Santurtzi.[2] Construction of the station and the track between Santurtzi and Kabiezes began in 2009 and was delayed after a mudslide flooded the tunnel connecting both stations.
