Description

Ondarroa is a fishing village in Biscay whose historic centre preserves much of its medieval fabric. A walk through the Old Town reveals landmarks such as the Gothic church of Andra Mari — the most ornate church exterior in Biscay —, the medieval bridge Zubi Zaharra over the Artibai river, and the Itsasaurre bridge, designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 1994. The fishing harbour is the heart of the village's maritime life, and the Kamiñazpi neighbourhood is home to murals paying tribute to the people who work at sea. The visit can be done independently or through guided tours offered by the local tourism office, covering the Old Town and the Fishing Harbour, with the chance to explore local gastronomy and fresh fish from the area. A stop with genuine character on any route along the Biscay coast.
