Good alternative when Mundaka is overcrowded.
Additional Info:
spent a month at el salvaje and sopelana last summer; its the best ... you can sleep in the car on the parking lot thats located right at the beach. the cops wont bother you. the locals are really cool,made some new friends there. The water's clean, waves are fun to surf, they get pretty big at times actually.check out the fiesta, a huge party in Bilbao that lasts one week.every year in augustseptember.prettiest girls ever...well go and find out yourself its definetely worth it.
