Mundaka

What it is

Madalenak explained

Boats sail out to the island of Izaro where a tile is thrown into the water to reclaim it for Mundaka — a maritime border ritual dating from the 16th century.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Mundaka tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
