When the Condor attacked, the residents of Guernica tried to protect the tree with their bodies because it is sacred to the Basques. Even today, elected politicians have to swear their loyalty to the Basque Country at an oak tree that stands a few meters away.

The beach is there only at Ebb and disappears completely under the waves at high tide. From this point you also have a great view of the village of Mundaka

The legend that attributes the name of Mundaca to the Latin expression munda aqua (clean water). This legend appears in the Chronicle of Vizcaya written by Lope García de Salazar in the 15th century. According to this story, a ship from Scotland arrived on the coast of Mundaca carrying a princess who had been banished from her land. The Scots called the place Munda aqua in their Latin language (sic) since they found a very clean source of water that contrasted with the murky waters of the Urdaibai estuary.

Urdaibai is an extraordinarily beautiful and varied natural space, which is why it was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1984. Its heart is the Oka River that rises on Mount Oiz and transforms into an estuary upon reaching Mundaka, creating spectacular marshes full of life. We recommend you see them at different times of the day to be able to appreciate both low and high tide. But in addition to unique marshes, Urdaibai offers you some of the most beautiful and appreciated beaches in Euskadi, Laida, which constantly varies in shape and size or the spectacular Laga beach, located under the imposing Peñón de Ogoño, which many define as “the closest thing to paradise.”
