UGAO MIRAVALLES









The town of miravalles (in basque and officially Ugao-Miravalles) is a municipality in the province of Biscay, Basque Country(Spain). Miravalles was founded in 1375 by the Infante Don Juan, Lord of Biscay and the future king of Castile.
"The town of "Miravalles was founded in the old house near tower Ugao, whose name meant mouth water; that´s why his name.The people from there are known are "ugaotarras"


Ugao is not very big; The council is essentially constituted by the center of the old town with its unique street and its urbanized areas the small town is completed by some sparsely inhabited districts more or less rural.


The council is not very populated , only 4,104 citizens live there but the town looks quite busy everyday and there is some people that comes to ugao miravalles for work.
I don´t spend a lot of time in ugao during the week but I like going out in ugao at weekends because there are quite things to do in ugao at the weekends, mainly in the "gaztetxe".
