    Mundaka is a picturesque coastal town located in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. Its places of interest include a colorful old town next to the port and the beautiful hermitage of Santa Catalina, located on a wild cape with beautiful views of the sea and cliffs.

    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.
