Zubi Zaharra (Old Bridge) spanning the Artibai River in Ondárroa, Bizkaia (Spain)

According to an old story, the Ondárroa rocks are the bulwark of the love between Satur and Aran. In fact, it is said that from Mount Akilla , located on the Arbide walk, you can see the faces of the two young lovers reflected on two rocks. Apparently Satur went fishing one day and a storm took him forever. After a long mourn, Aran pleaded the sea to take her along with Satur, and the sea granted her wish by dragging her with a wave. After that, there was a cataclysm and the rocks got moved from their original positions. When the sunrise returned , the faces of Satur and Aran were visible on the rocks.
