Mundaka is a very small village overlooking a pretty bay, which on a good swell day, has epic surf -- unfortunately there was no surf on the day be visited. Hotel Atalaya is perched at the plaza overlooking the sea, next to a lovely church. It has a historic look from the outside but the rooms were dated, old fashioned, but clean and serviceable. We had a wonderful room on the top floor on the corner overlooking the plaza with the sea view in the distance, and a wrap around balcony. The hotel offers free gated parking which is a draw, especially during the summer peak season. We were there in October and there was plentiful street parking during the weekday, but it was nice to have a secure parking lot. The staff were helpful and friendly, with English skills sufficient for communication. The breakfast was simple and reasonably priced, fresh squeezed orange juice, made to order espresso, pastry, fruit, cereal, deli meats and cheese, and a warm egg torta dish. Since we visited in the off peak season, stores and restaurants were closed, so eating options were limited. There were no English speaking channels on the TV that we could find. The hotel has a very small elevator, mostly for luggage, and the climb to the top floor was a bit of a haul. All said, this was a nice one night stop and I would recommend this hotel.
