Mutriku

Few towns on the Basque coast have a history as closely tied to seafaring as Mutriku. Set above a small harbour on the Bay of Biscay, this Gipuzkoan town has a compact historic core of steep, narrow streets and stone houses, shaped by its longstanding links to fishing and navigation. Mutriku is the birthplace of Cosme Damián Churruca, the Spanish naval officer who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The 17th-century Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción anchors the old centre, while the harbour breakwater incorporates a wave-energy plant.
