Ondarroa, Fishing port municipality in Vizcaya, Spain

The municipality stretches along the Artibai River with five bridges connecting different sections, occupying 3.6 square kilometers of coastal terrain.

María Díaz de Haro established the town in 1327, leading to the development of a maritime fleet that reached 50 ships during Felipe II's reign.

The residents of Ondarroa, known as Ondarrutarra, maintain their Basque identity through the daily use of Euskara language alongside Spanish.

The municipality provides regular bus connections to major Basque cities and contains numerous restaurants specializing in fresh seafood preparations.

The historical center features houses with varying heights from two to six meters, built on steep slopes along the river's natural curve.
