- On March 5, 1937, the battle of Cape Matxitxako took place, a naval confrontation between four bous, small, lightly armed cod boats, which did everything possible to defend the merchant ship Galdames, which was on its way to Bilbao with Republican refugees when it was attacked by the Canarias, flagship of the Nationalist side.
