mundano, adjective:
worldly

Mundano can refer to things which are of this world, and so worldly, rather than spiritual.

los placeres mundanos
worldly pleasures

la felicidad mundana y real
real happiness in this world

More often, though, mundano refers to high society, especially in the phrase la vida mundana.

las más célebres personalidades de la vida mundana de París
the most famous figures of Parisian high society
