Catedral de San Antolín

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Located on Mayor Antigua Street, the Catedral de San Antolín is a captivating blend of Visigothic and Romanesque architecture. Originally a 7th-century Visigothic basilica, it was transformed into a Romanesque Cathedral by Sancho III. The cathedral boasts five entrance doors, with the Virgin or Bishop door being particularly noteworthy.
OH WOW what a building , the outside architecture is astounding, I didn’t go in as today I hadn’t time , it’s meant to be the 3rd largest cathedral in Spain and I could believe that very easily. The square in front of the building is so well kept and the spires of the building with thier decorative architecture that dominate this area are simply fantastic, this is a real must visit when in Palencia
Aidan M — Google review
The gothic Cathedral Basilica of Saint Antoninus, dedicated to Saint Antonius of Pampers, is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe (130m x 42m high x 50m wide) similar in size to Cathedral of Reims, and Notre Dame de Paris. It is generally known as “the unknown beauty" because it is not as well known as other Spanish cathedrals, though it has works of art of great value, including a fabulous El Greco: the martyrdom of St. Sebastian from 1579. A curiosity are the stork nests on the tower, so you are constantly followed by the characteristic noisy bill-clattering, which appears to be distant machine gun fire.
Jesper A — Google review
Very impressive and interesting cathedral! Entry is 6 Euros but it is definitely worth it. Being Spain's 3rd biggest cathedral, it offers countless chapels with richly decorated altairs, several choirs, two big naves, a transept and catacombs. The condition is surprisingly good due to excellent maintenance.
Ludowig G — Google review
Very nice building It is worth to look at it from different angles We didn't go in, but situated next to the university and yet in a quiet and peaceful area
Roland L — Google review
Despite the ghastly bling bling in the side chapels and altar this is a rather lovely building. The choir is magnificent on the outside and the organ is fantastic. Great stonework throughout. The small gallery of artwork is well worth a visit, some nice works including a rather homoerotic San Sebastian by El Greco which could have been painted this century.

A really unexpected surprise in Palencia. The province being the realm of the Romanesque, I expected its cathedral to be this style, too. Instead, we came across a fantastic Gothic temple which, unfortunately, we could not visit because it was being restored. We at least enjoyed the awesome exterior.

Burgos Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+72 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Burgos Cathedral is a magnificent Gothic structure in Burgos, Spain, known for its rich history and stunning architecture. It played a significant role in introducing the Gothic style to the country during the Middle Ages. The cathedral features 38 altarpieces, numerous chapels, and intricate religious artwork. It also serves as the final resting place of El Cid, adding to its historical importance.
I echo everyone else 's comments - this is simply a beautiful cathedral that you must visit! Download the audio BEFORE you arrive at the Cathedral! We were able to have Mass in a side chapel. In addition, there are 21 side chapels, each more beautiful than the other. The architecture and the stonework and the various carvings are simply exquisite. It is hard to believe what stonemasons and woodcarvers built hundreds of years ago with simple tools. We did not take the tour- due to time constraints- enjoy the grandeur of this magnificent cathedral. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example. The Cathedral of Saint Mary of Burgos is a Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary located in the historical center of the Spanish city of Burgos. Its official name is the Holy Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica Church of St Mary of Burgos. It all began in the year 1080, when Alfonso VI, who was king of the ancient kingdom of Castile, ordered the construction of a Romanesque cathedral in the city of Burgos: the Church of Santa María de Burgos. In 1219, this church hosted a ceremony of great importance for the kingdom of Castile, the wedding of the then King Ferdinand III of Castile and the Germanic princess Beatrice of Swabia (daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II of Swabia Hohenstaufen).

The Burgos Cathedral is located in the historical centre of the Spanish city of the same name. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example of the evolution of Gothic style, with the entire history of Gothic art exhibited in its superb architecture and unique collection of art, including paintings, choir stalls, reredos, tombs, and stained-glass windows. Burgos Cathedral has the distinction of being the only Cathedral in Spain to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site independently from the historic center of the city it is located in. The visit of the Cathedral lasts 1 hour approx. It is very large, with many small chapels. It is worth visiting slowly. Entry fee at time of writing / visiting : from 10 Euros Free Entry: Entry to the cathedral is free on Tuesday afternoons between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm in the summer (and 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the winter). My way on Camino de Santiago Visited April 2025

One of the richest cathedrals I’ve ever seen! The intricate art and sculptures inside are simply amazing. There is a free audio guide that you can access via your phone. It is hard to listen though while also taking in the beauty of each chapel and artwork at the same time. 😅 This is a must-visit in Burgos!
Liza B — Google review
Espectacular cathedral with a fast and efficient check out service tickets. No matter your believes it’s a must visit. The details of all of the walls and structure is impressive. You would like to spend like at least an hour and a half to enjoy all the places inside.
Carolina J — Google review
This may be one of the most beautiful churches I have visited. St Peters in Rome may be grander but the Burgos Cathedral has so many beautiful chapels inside it, each distinct. Some of the chapels are humongous, bigger than small churches. Burgos Cathedral is awesome, a must see!
Gregory D — Google review
Huge building. We were to late to visit,as we arrived only in the evening. Impressive building and probably worth to visit also inside. Tickets can be purchased during the day at the entrance. The large squares around the Cathedral are pleasant for a drink or to stroll around with an ice cream.
Christy D — Google review
Burgos Cathedral is one of Spain’s most impressive Gothic landmarks and a true architectural marvel. From the moment you approach its elaborate façade and soaring spires, the grandeur is unmistakable. Inside, the cathedral is equally breathtaking, with richly decorated chapels, vaulted ceilings, and intricately carved choir stalls that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. A particular highlight is the tomb of El Cid and his wife, placed prominently beneath the central dome—an evocative tribute to one of Spain’s legendary historical figures. The Golden Staircase, the elaborate main altarpiece, and the stunning dome above the crossing all add to the cathedral’s majesty. The visit includes access to the Cathedral Museum, which is thoughtfully integrated into several side chapels and rooms. The collection spans medieval to Renaissance periods and includes religious paintings, fine metalwork, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts. Each exhibit is well presented and offers deeper insight into the religious and artistic history of the region. The cloister provides a peaceful contrast to the main cathedral space, and its sculpted tombs add to the sense of history. Overall, Burgos Cathedral is not only a place of worship but a living museum of Gothic art and Spanish heritage. A must-see for any visitor to the city.

I like the building, it's modern, bright, open, it feels good to take a scientific walk in a light and bright atmosphere, in a city such as old style like Burgos. It gives us a bit of hope. And Mei likes " the treasure map", it really helps the kids get through the visit without getting too bored. Thanks!

Simply spectacular. Most of the exhibits (apart from the very top floor) are bilingual (Spanish & English) whilst some of them are interactive. The original fossils are simply stunning. We highly recommend that you take the trip to the archeological site too & see some if the demonstrations. It was a first class day...

A long way from anywhere, this great Benedictine pile towers over the village around it. The Gregorian chant is past its Grammy-winning glory days, but evening Vespers still attracts a good crowd in summertime.

Jaquelina S — Google review
San Sebastian may be considered the Mecca of pintxos, but during my trip through the Basque Country I tasted the best snacks in this market hall in down-to-earth Bilbao. Not only are they incredibly delicious, they are also more affordable than in the chic neighbouring city. If you can do without the very fine ambience you can confidently fill your stomach with every conceivable variety.
MK — Google review
So good, we visited twice. Very basic shared tables and chairs but it made for interesting conversations. We spent time sharing travellers' tales with a young German couple who were heading off later that day for Bordeaux. It's very easy to point to what you want, saying how many, it's microwaved for you if needed. White Rioja is served very chilled and helps to make the experience. It does get very crowded and is very noisy with many and various accents and languages flying around but everyone is there to relax and enjoy themselves. I recommend it to anyone wanting to experience Basque cuisine.

It's a nice covered market with a pintxos area, very good quality & taste, and you can enjoy your food & drink on the terrace overlooking the river. I visited first on a November Friday (early afternoon) and most of the market was close, only the pintxos area was open. Saturday morning was more lively, with locals coming to buy fresh fish and meat. I'd recommend checking the opening hours in advance, which I hadn't done. In fact, I expected something a bit like Mercado San Miguel in Madrid, which this market isn't. But it's nice and lively on a Saturday morning and definitely worth a visit.

Excellent spot, a good variety of restaurants, prices are not that higher than outside so that´s always nice. It works all day, not just the morning or nighttime (though in the morning and nighttime you got more options). Has an outer terrace you can see in pictures, wonderful view, you can sit outside or lean on the side and enjoy your pinchos with some drinks. Highly recommended, great atmosphere.

Food is genuinely awful. In a city with so much amazing food, do not waste a meal here! Come for a drink in a lovely setting if you must but the food quality is so poor at relatively expensive prices. For example patatas bravas arrives chunky chips and mayo, salted asparagus is cold, watery, mushy white asparagus out of a tin. The pintxos is old, crusty and very basic... They have a nice sounding menu but none of the dishes we wanted (such as velvet crab and grilled squid) were available. Other people around us were also disappointed. Just warning you!
Sarah A — Google review
Smaller selection of pintxos than others in the area and honestly what they had was just “OK”. Gave 3 stars instead of 2 due to location and the food wasn’t terrible. If this is the only table available in the plaza and you only want a seat and cold drink, maybe a snack you might be satisfied here. Also, there are many pictures in this review that I assume are from the place next door which I didn’t try but looked better than Urdina.

Gaztelugatxe

Mentioned on 
+28 other lists 
Island
Nature & Parks
Geologic Formations
Gaztelugatxe is a small, rocky island in Basque Country, topped by a 10th-century chapel that has become a place of pilgrimage. Accessible via a winding stone bridge and more than 200 steps, the journey to the top offers breathtaking views of the coastline and the Bay of Biscay. The picturesque monastery perched at the pinnacle of this craggy islet has made it famous as part of Dragonstone in Game of Thrones.
Amazing views throughout the hike. We went around 8 am and there was hardly anyone there. If you go early you can beat the crowds especially because the path is a bit narrow in some parts. Very well maintained roads and it 100% looks like dragon-stone from Game of thrones.

Joined tour from get your guide on a sunny day. We arrived there in a small group with tour guide’s driving us. At the beginning the tour guide took us to a public toilet and there will be no toilet afterwards. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a jacket that you can take off while keep walking. Bring water. At the end of the walk, there will be a store selling water and simple food.

Spectacular. We’ve visited in beginning of October and it was still fairly crowded although not too crowded. Perhaps also as it was during the week and around 4PM In the afternoon. The walk from the nearest parking is relatively short. On the way back there’s a little elevation but nothing crazy. A massive restaurant and public restrooms available.

An incredibly suggestive place to visit, even if you are not a Game of Thrones fan. You must be fit though - the return uphill walk is tough. Remember to book a free ticket online well before your visit or you will not be allowed in. Entries are booked well in advance.
Richard Z — Google review
Get tickets ahead of time. They dont cost but you will need them to get in. If you find a site that claims to get you in for a few it is a scam. This place is highly worth the visit. The history, the Stations of the Cross walk up the steps, and the scenery is some of the best you'll find in the world. The climb back can be deceivingly difficult so pace yourself.

Sunset was definitely a good idea! Really nice place! But be ready for steep downhill cobblestone road you have to walk down and up!
Igor T — Google review
Buy a ticket for entry in advance or go before they open. We arrived at 7am and parked in the top free lot and walked in. It was an hour there and back of you didn’t stop to take photos. We only ran into 4 people coming down the steps and we were there for sun rise but the clouds didn’t part to give us a show. Rain started as we were making our way to the car. Take a headlamp as it was pitch black when we began not wheelchair accessible. From their website “NOTES Wear comfortable clothing and footwear that are suitable for the path. Please note that the path is very steep. You should make sure you take water with you to cool down. This route is physically very demanding and it is therefore not recommended for people with health problems or who find it hard to walk, or people with children’s pushchairs. Due to the slopes and state of the ground, visiting the San Juan de Gaztelugatxe chapel is not recommended for people with certain types of physical disabilities. If you have one of those disabilities, we suggest you enjoy the view from the viewpoint on the Ermu route. Don’t forget to take sun cream with you in summer and on sunny days. There are no toilet facilities along the route, so it is recommended to use those available at either of the two entry points. Please remember that you are visiting a protected natural area, therefore you should respect the basic rules to preserve and protect its natural values. Camping and climbing are not allowed and you must not light fires, make noise, leave any rubbish, dive, drive vehicles and park except in authorised areas. It is forbidden any activity that may disrupt the quietness of the place or that can damage the flora and the fauna. The reservation allows access to a protected natural area with limited capacity for conservation reasons. It does not guarantee entry to the hermitage, as it is usually closed. It is recommended to use public transportation to reach Gaztelugatxe. This helps avoid traffic congestion and promotes more sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility. Visitors are encouraged to leave their vehicles in Bermeo, Bakio, or Bilbao and reach the area by public transport (Bizkaibus, Gaztelu Begi stop). Pets are allowed on the route as long as they are kept on a leash. This is a protected natural environment, so it is essential to respect the rules of the protected area.”

Monastery of San Millán de Yuso

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
The Monastery of San Millán de Yuso is a stunning complex featuring a Gothic church, Renaissance cloister, and an impressive collection of 18th-century songbooks. Situated in a tranquil part of La Rioja, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers breathtaking views and centuries of history to explore. The monastery, dating back to the 16th century, boasts a massive structure with a towering presence. It holds great significance in the history of the Spanish language and literature.
Absolutely amazingly beautiful place. The artwork and architecture is outstanding. I hiked here from Najero whilst on the Camino as a detour on the way to Santa Domingo thinking it would be about a 7km detour - it wasn't it was about a 20km detour! I may have taken a wrong turn though. But anyway, it was totally worth it. I had no idea what to expect but as luck would have it (which happened A LOT on the Camino) I arrived just as a group of Italian tourists was been given a guided tour (which i think you normally pay for), and I seamlessly blended in in my dirty pilgrim gear and back-pack. It is a massive place, steeped in history with many different areas to the complex, and each area has the most amazing artwork in, both on the walls and hanging paintings. One of the rooms was just beautiful with the whole ceiling painted and rows of pictures. Also got my sello in the gift shop and a free monastery biro! Definitely go if you are anywhere near here as it is not to be missed.

Road-trip: La Rioja, Monasterio de San Millán de Yuso - this unesco world heritage site is located in a quiet part of La Rioja, passing lovely scenery when driving from the northern part of the region. Known as the origin of Spanish (castellano) literature, this monastery is a massive structure that you can tour; advanced reservations are recommended. Can also combine with a visit the the fellow monastery located uphill, Suso. Note: limited availability and restricted access to Suso, plan in advance and try to coordinate visits to the two monasteries.

The guide was in Spanish but we knew that so that was fine. However, the tour took way too long so we decided to do it at our own pace, then after finishing the guy didn't let us out since our group wasn't yet done ... Who cares if we leave a bit earlier than our group.

Winery - Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture

Mentioned on

Winery
Food & Drink
The Winery - Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture is a vast museum that pays homage to the 8,000-year-old relationship between man and the vine. It features rooms dedicated to ancient wine production, interactive projects on wine color and aroma, wine art and symbols, as well as the history of wine service. The museum showcases an impressive collection of wine-related art and artifacts accumulated by the Vivanco family.
Fantastic winery museum really detailed everything you want to know about wine making over the world. Worth the price of admission for sure. Also we loved that La Isla red label!

The museum was world class! We’ve been to winelands around the world and have never seen such an amazing presentation of wine history or collection of wine-related items ie: corkscrews, vessels, etc Book ahead for a tasting / museum package. The views and property are lovely. Tasting was OK experience. Shop had nice options.

Vivanco Museum is without the doubt the best wine museum in the world! Make sure that you reserve at least two-three hours to visit this spectacular place, as the amount of the items and the size of the exhibition are huge. Their wines from the Vivanco collection, including sparkling wines, are incredible!

I have visited it many years ago, it’s an amazing place: aesthetically pleasing, with various artifacts of art regarded to the wine production.
Anastasia — Google review
It is quite expensive (18 euros each) and exhibits do not come with English translation (I know I’m in Spain and i wouldn’t expect a local restaurant to have an English menu for instance. But for a museum targeting tourists, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect) and the audio guide is really badly made - doesn’t move from one track to the other, so for every track you have to go back to the main menu. You also have to give them a bunch of information just to access the app and audio guide you are unlikely ever to use again. Otherwise a pretty nice museum and some interesting exhibits. The area around the museum is really scenic as well.
Gloria — Google review
Good place to visit. The guided tour is very nice and the guide very knowledgeable. The cellar is worth it and very well designed. The restaurant food is very nice and the service just fantastic. The wines were not so good to me. But highly recommended visit nonetheless.
David — Google review
This museum is just amazing. It is best presentation of the entire process of assessing the land, preparing the soil, how the plants are cultivated and the history of diseases that impacted the European root stock. They over the process of pruning then the harvest and processing of the grapes. The video presentation are superb. The history of the wine presses is very well done.Then they cover all the steps in storing the wine in barrels and the details of barrel construction. Then there is the making of corks, bottling and shipping. They have the most extensive collection of cork screws. Then you are able to tour the active wine vine garden to see all the varietal grapes growing along side a large vineyard field. This place is a must and the learning experience is outstanding!
Allan C — Google review
Visited without booking. Large free car park and extremely helpful staff who talk you through the proposed tour and wine tasting. Museum is 21 years old but is pristine The displays and exhibitions are first class taking 2-3 hours to take in all the information. The wine tasting provided a selection of two from 18 bottles which were different but most enjoyable. Well worth a stop in the heart of the Rijca 'Alto' region.

Laguna Negra de Urbión

Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Paso de la Serrá - Laguna Negra - Urbión - Laguna Helada (loop) To safely reach the parking area without any problems, do not rely on Google Maps but follow the signs. The first picture I added shows the correct entrance to the road leading to the parking lot. Parking costs €4. On site, there is a restaurant with restrooms. If you arrive in the morning, it's worth taking the first section on the paved road to reach Laguna Negra. Beyond this point, I recommend sticking to the right side and not following the app’s directions. At the fork, take the right path. I believe this is a better approach. After reaching the summit and feeling the satisfaction, return via the loop. In this direction, the path is quite wide for a long time, allowing you to rest after the steep climb. Finally, return to the starting point at Laguna Negra. Here, if you have time and energy, I would definitely recommend returning to the parking area through the forest path. On a hot day, this is a great option, better than walking on the heated asphalt. It will take you a bit more time, as there are numerous roots and small streams to cross, but it’s a really pleasant bonus to an already wonderful trek. I did this trail alone, walking very slowly – it can certainly be completed even an hour faster. Make sure to bring at least 2.5 liters of water and high-ankle hiking boots for this trail. Additionally, pack a lightweight windbreaker jacket for the upper sections.

(Translated by Google) We went on a holiday and had to pay 2 euros for parking. From there you can go up to the lagoon along a 1.8 km paved road or take a bus that costs 1.8 euros that goes up every half hour. The walk, if done calmly, can be half an hour. I suppose that on a day that is not a holiday you can go up to the top with the car (Original) Fuimos un día festivo y había que pagar 2 euros de parking. Desde ahí puedes subir a la laguna por una carretera asfaltada de 1.8 km o coger un autobus que cuesta 1.8 euros que sube cada media hora. El paseo si se hace tranquilo puede ser media hora. Supongo que en un día que no sea festivo se podrá subir hasta arriba con el coche

It's a bit of a drive up to the huge parking area in the forest. You can drive up to the top car park if it's not too busy. Then it's a short walk to the Laguna. There's a walkway round one side. There are trails to climb further up the mountain but the ground looked uneven so proper walking/hiking boots would be advisable. It's a very pretty area.

(Translated by Google) Family visit to the Black Lagoon. Access from the parking lot costs 4 euros. You can take the walk along the river or take the road uphill. There's also a shuttle service to reach the lagoon. A beautiful setting well worth visiting. You can then take another walk to see the lagoon from above, but it's a high-mountain trail, and if you continue along the trail, you can reach the Frozen Lagoon and Urbión Peak. (Original) Visita en familia a la l Laguna Negra, acceso desde el aparcamiento con un coste de 4 euros. Puedes dar el paseo siguiendo el curso del río o bien subir por la carretera, también hay un servicio de transporte para llegar a la laguna. Un entorno precioso que merece la pena visitar. Luego se puede hacer otro paseo, para ver la laguna desde arriba, pero es un sendero de alta montaña, y si prosigues el sendero puedes llegar a la Laguna Helada y el pico de Urbión.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular glacial lagoon located in the Urbión Mountains. It is located at an altitude of 1,753 meters. It is easily accessible by walking along the road from the parking lot, but I recommend taking the Laguna Negra Trail to get here. From Pico de Urbión, you can also get incredible panoramic views of the lagoon. A legend says that this lagoon is bottomless, but its maximum depth is about 8 meters. (Original) Espectacular laguna glaciar ubicada en la Sierra de Urbión. Se encuentra a 1.753 metros de altitud. De muy fácil acceso caminando por carretera desde el aparcamiento, pero te recomiendo tomar la Senda de la Laguna Negra para llegar hasta aquí. Desde el Pico de Urbión también puedes obtener unas increíbles panorámicas de la laguna. Un leyenda cuenta que está laguna no tiene fondo, pero realmente cuenta con unos 8 metros de profundidad máxima.

Santa Maria Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+47 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of a medieval landscape, the Santa Maria Cathedral stands as a stunning testament to Gothic architecture. Often referred to as the Old Cathedral, its construction began in 1202 after a devastating fire claimed the previous church. This monumental structure features an intricately sculpted facade and soaring vaulted interiors that transport visitors back in time.
The only language available for the guided tour when I went was Spanish, but they provided audioguides in English (and French and German, if I remember correctly). The tour guide was very friendly and always made sure to give some explanation in English for me. He also answered any questions I had. The church itself is really interesting, and I recommend going up the tower especially around sundown. Better to reserve a slot for the tour in advance; mine was full on a Tuesday.
Cait C — Google review
Truely terrific place. A combination of a chruch and city walls on an uneven ground. This lead to constructual problems that have been bugged the building for ages. And then in the sixthees a desasterous decision to remove internal buttresses. in english a very good guide through the building, from underground to the tower with views over the country side. You have to make a reservation through Internet or in person. In the end they show the true colours of the building, from now to the 16th century Closed between 1400 and 16.30m Worth the trip

We had a tour in Spanish, but with audioguide in English. We never had such a great, complete experience from enormous foundations to the roof, and everything in between. The restoration is well done. Tour guide was friendly and helpful. The Cathedral is not so over-decorated as many others in Spain, but very interesting non the less. Highly recommend tour!
Louis S — Google review
The building was closed for renovation when we visited. Beautiful architecture in a very friendly town.
Mary C — Google review
As the Cathedral is still in a period of extended restoration you have to visit with a guided tour, so the entrance fee will set you back around ten euros, unless you qualify for a concession. However the tour is detailed and exhaustive, including a trip down through its crumbling foundation pillars, then into its spectacular romanesque interior before going up to the Tower. The journey there, along a narrow ledge that overlooks the cathedral interior, before acsending up a spiral staircase, is almost as exciting as the views it offers of the surrounding city.
Stuart M — Google review
It is certainly not the prettiest or the mos architecturally inspiring cathedral in Spain. However, it has an interesting story of trying to withstand the original construction errors. Fortunately, the cathedral has been saved from an imminent collapse after the last restoration. The guided visit is super interesting, as it takes you to places that are usually not accessible to the public, including the foundations.
Daniel F — Google review
A must visit in Vitoria-Gasteiz! Guided tours are very good...best option is: Cathedrale Tour + Tower! View from there above the city is awesome! They have guided tours in English...but also audioguides in different languages! This is a sure must visit if you are in town. Check out the tours on their official site! Never had a guided tour like this...for that price...anyway in this world! The Tour ends with projection show of how the coloring of the church was ages ago...never saw something like this before...even in Rome or somewhere else! So much love and affection to history combined with modern technology!

The work done of restoration of this Cathedral is amazing. It seems that construction was not very well done, and during the time the attempts to repair it were not very successfully also.

Super nice view, that’s all as this s mostly a lil park for kids to run around. The funicular isn’t worth the >1 hour wait but I insisted as I thought I d be able to enjoy the ride, I was wrong. Overall attractions aren’t attractive, and the only hotel restaurant to avoid. There is though a lil bar on the side selling refreshments at half of the prices and queue, if needed rather go there. I mean, it’s a must go but you may be disappointed

It is considered one of the most beautiful urban beaches in Europe and among the best in the Basque Country. The elegant modernist promenade stretches for over a kilometer and ends at the Palacio de Mirar, featuring white railings and numerous large lampposts.
Fantastic Beach in Town Centre This is a great beach, it is very wide and shallow at the beginning but you get depth quite fast and you can swim very far out. The beach itself is really nice and has all the necessary amenities. What I also like a lot is that you can go to restaurants, shops etc very easily. Last but not least the view is also amazing!

As far as I can tell it is no less than the most beautiful city beach or bay in Europe. Of course you have to be lucky with the weather, as on hot days it feels like the whole city is digging through the sand. The huge dimensions only become clear on a walk or a drive up one of the two hills (Monte Igueldo or Urgull). It is a little unusual that there is so little catering right on the promenade.

The hotel seamlessly blends modernity with its historic past, featuring sleek rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the city.
We stayed here for 8 nights and had a lovely experience. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke English very well which we appreciated given our limited Spanish. The valet service included in parking was great as well. The only downside was no on-site laundry, but we found a laundromat only a few minutes away that met our needs perfectly. The location is very convenient to the center of Old Town Pamplona and all of the tourist sites are easy walks. There is also a small grocery store very close by, but be aware that the in-room refrigerator is very small.

Dear Duty Manager, I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel, which has regrettably concluded with my early departure and relocation to the Gran Hotel La Perla. Staff and Service Issues: The reception staff demonstrated a consistent lack of professionalism and helpfulness throughout my stay. I observed a marked difference in their demeanor when assisting Spanish-speaking guests versus others, which is unacceptable in any hospitality establishment. Every reasonable request I made was met with responses such as “we can’t do that,” “no sorry,” or worse, false information and blank stares. This is not the service standard one expects from a property charging rates comparable to a Hyatt Regency or Mandarin Oriental. Dining Experience: The in-room dining hours are woefully inadequate, and the menu offerings were utterly tasteless. The hotel restaurant was shameful in its execution. For context, the Auberge in Zubiri where I dined yesterday delivered an experience approaching Michelin-star quality - a stark and embarrassing contrast to your establishment. Room Conditions: The room itself was substandard in multiple respects: • Overly starched, uncomfortable linens • No air conditioning or adequate cooling system • Dirty bathroom upon arrival • Television remote control held together with tape • An antiquated television with no modern connectivity options (no screen sharing capability) • Insufficient pillows (which I had to specifically request) • Intrusive lighting from the pool area that illuminated my room to an unbearable degree throughout the evening Value Proposition: Your hotel charges premium rates that match genuinely luxury properties, yet delivers a 4-star experience at best - and frankly, even that rating feels generous given my experience. This represents exceptionally poor value and, quite frankly, misleading positioning in the market. Management Perspective: I must address what appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding by your management team: not all Camino pilgrims stay in hostels. Many of us, myself included, regularly patronize 5-star establishments for respite during our journey. We are experienced travelers who frequently review accommodations, dining, and travel services. Your assumption that pilgrims represent a lower-tier clientele is both incorrect and insulting. Resolution: I have absorbed the cancellation fees and relocated to the Gran Hotel La Perla, where I should have trusted my instincts to book initially. I hope by posting a detailed review on Google will assist other travelers in my position be forewarned. They deserve to know they should either continue walking or stay at the superior property across the plaza. I expect no response to this complaint, as my experience suggests it would likely be another “we can’t do that.” However, I sincerely hope you will use this feedback to reassess your service standards, facility maintenance, and approach to guest relations. Regards, P.

Could be a lovely place to stay with some simple changes. The location was great, although parking at the hotel expensive. We parked a little way from the hotel which allowed us to enjoy walking through Pamplona’s beautiful gardens. Our room was spacious, but no kettle. Fridge very small and didn’t work properly. Some of the staff very unfriendly. The lady who checked us in was clearly not having a good day or needs another job. Lovely drinks area but very unfriendly service. Thank goodness for Sylvia who was absolutely delightful and helpful.

Great place to stay in Pamplona, in the heart of the old city. Secure parking - height limit of 3m - so ideal for those travelling in small camper vans. Access to the parking is easy, just behind/below the swimming pool. Excellent service, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Good quality buffet breakfast - however there are many places nearby to eat too. Highly recommend this hotel.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Very eclectic decor in our dark suite. For a suite in a boutique hotel it really lacked bathroom products. The TV was a really tiny one, screwed to the wall high up on the wall only watchable from the bed. It was totally unwatchable from the 2x chairs ( not even a sofa) in the the sparsely-furnished sitting area.

Could be a very nice hotel (given location, and quality of building) but let down by unfriendly and rude staff and items not working in our room (bar fridge and safe). Also parking at the hotel is expensive, and cheaper alternatives are a 20 min walk away.

Top location very close to the busy old city centre from Pamplona, very comfortable rooms (some with view of the green) and a very friendly and professional staff at reception = top location to visit Pamplona (a plus: upon reservation since limited number, this hotel provides for a parking).

Great stay. Valet parking (I guess temporarily because the garage is under construction). Very friendly young lady at the reception. Good restaurant (we did not have breakfast), pet friendly,... If there's a remark to give: the 2 young ladies taking care of the restaurant should scan more the tables (look around more) to see if people want attention. More selling would have happened if they'd done so. But they surely were friendly too.

The Royal Palace of Olite is a medieval fortress complex with towers, battlements, courtyards, and gardens. It has a rich history dating back to the 15th century when it began to deteriorate after Navarre was invaded. The palace was intentionally burned during the Peninsular War in 1813 but has since been restored to its original grandeur. Today, it stands as a major tourist attraction in the quiet town of Olite.
A really nice place to visit in nice quiet town. I was lucky to make it on a Monday afternoon with free entrance. Thanks. I enjoyed the palace. When you make it to the top of the towers the wind blows very strong.

We were recommended to visit this castle by a member of staff at the parador at Calahorra. Whilst it was a detour from our planned route, it was most certainly worth it. A stunning building and an entrance fee which was unbelievably low, for people of a "more mature age". Indeed had this been an historic building in the UK, possibly run by the National Trust, the entrance would have been a minimum of 10 times the fee in Olite. It is wonderful to see how the Spanish authorities are, when it comes to restoration and maintenance of their historic sites. This castle is amazing and should definitely be on everybody's list if visiting this part of Spain.

It’s a beautifully restored castle, like you would see in a movie. I also experienced the virtual reality movie that gave a great impression how life at the castle was during king Carlos III, although I think that €6 for a 10 minute video is a bit expensive. I can truly recommend visiting this castle, it’s beautiful from every angle.

Stopped by at this palace on our way to Zaragoza. Well worth the detour. Entrance fee is derisory. Lovely views from all the corners of the tower. We didn’t see much of the town as it was showering but looks like a pretty little town.

Although there's nothing to see on the inside, the exterior is worth the entrance fee. The architecture is good, towers to climb and ramparts to walk giving good views.

Desert

Bardenas Reales is a vast desert region known for its soaring canyons, sandstone cliffs, and rocky outcrops. The Hotel Aire de Bardenas offers a unique stay with its modernist design rising unexpectedly from the rocky earth at the border of the desert. Visitors can explore the area by car, quad, or enduro bikes but should be cautious as some parts are challenging to navigate.
Wonderful area, somewhat alike west USA parks, notably Monument Valley, ah a smaller scale. There’s a military area in the center of the natural reserve of the White Bardenas; hence forbidden to any visitors. However, there remain quite a number or district to visit and watch at either nord or south this military district and of course around as it’s surrounded by a gravel track which cycles and cars of any kind may drive. At lest by dry weather. I do recommend that wild place! Check weather forecasts for possible high temperatures in summer, or rain in winter (or fog as I had on a late December day !) especially if you aim to take photos
Herve K — Google review
This place is great. But how do you get there? I found get to Arguedas and follow the signs easiest. It’s not complicated. The roads are more track than tarmac but perfectly fine for cars. You could also enter via El Paso, but it’s not so well signposted. From Arguedas it’s a straight track until you reach the army base, where you turn left. Don’t mistake the first ‘stack’ as the iconic photo. Travel 2 km up the track and there’s a clear stopping place where you can get out and have a 360 degree view once you’ve climbed the easy path. Then continue on for another 2 km and you’ll reach the classic photo stack which has plenty of parking space. To get out you can keep going, left out of the car park or simply do it all again in reverse back to Arguedes.

Really nice environment and change of scenery. The area is wide, but there are roughy 3 or 4 nice mountains/cliffs that have a 'canyon/desert' look and feel. Good to reach by car. Nice for holiday pictures and experience. There are no shops in the area, so take water (and snacks if you like) with you.

(Translated by Google) I would like to give an opinion of the complex and not just of a palace, no matter how historically important it may be for our country. The town deserves to be among the top positions of the most beautiful towns, it oozes history through all its streets and alleys. It is literally impressive, just a piece of advice regarding the restaurants, being a town visited during the day does not mean having an expensive restaurant only oriented towards tourism. (Original) Me gustaría dar una opinión del conjunto y no sólo de un palacio por mucha importancia histórica tenga para nuestro país. El pueblo merece estar entre las principales posiciones de los pueblos más bonitos, rezuma historia por todas sus calles y callejuelas. Es literalmente impresionante, solo un consejo a la restauración, ser un pueblo de visita de día, no supone tener una restauración cara y solo orientada al turismo.

Located in the province of Huesca, Spain, the Monasterio Nuevo de San Juan de la Peña is a monastery complex that dates back to the 10th and 17th centuries. This area holds significant cultural heritage with examples of Romanesque art and architectural treasures found in nearby towns. It is also part of the Way of Saint James pilgrims' route designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Made an unplanned stop here on a road trip and we were glad we did! The audioguide was very complete and translated the majority of the information panels in the new monastery. The drive up is also very scenic - well worth a visit!
Scott F — Google review
We decided to take a slight detour to see this Monastery and boy it didn't disappoint! Increadible views as we drove up, had to stop a couple of times to take it in. We had a lovely warm and clear day so got some nice pictures with the drone as well. We had a nice gentle walk round, lots of things to look at and read. Couldn't help but feel that some of the site has lost its authenticity due to the rather significant restoration and preservative measures that have been done since its renovation. Still highly recommend though.
Jon T — Google review
So glad we went the drive up is incredible the views are just breathtaking. The new monastery looks very it of place but that's only because you pass the outside of the old first. Both are incredible buildings with such history attached to them. We purchased the book and took the audio guide round which made the experience better.

Buy a ticket at the more modern monestary before driving further down to the older site as they don't sell them there. It is well worth a visit! Gorgeous views if you continue your journey down the mountain

This exquisite monastic building, where the grail was once supposed to be kept, (just copy on display now(see photo)) is cut into the rock on the side of a mountain. You can hike the twenty kilometres up from Jaca ( but bring lots of water in the summer as it's hot and humid) and its well worth the effort. Exterior has immaculate brickwork and windows while the inner church has an atmospheric apse and nave.

One could not have thought that in the middle of the most beautiful scenery one could find this wonderful and unusual museum. A burnt monastery surrounded by history, rescued in the most amazing way. A visit well worth the trip.

Cashing in on a natural wonder! A 30 minute drive from Jaca - a wasted journey. You have to pay to even see the outside! They don't let you park and walk up to see the wonder of the boulder over the monastery. They make you drive all the way up to the new monastery and pay for entry and a shuttle bus to go back down to see it. And at €12 it's not worth it for us! Very disappointing! Tried to take photos so you can see it but sadly they didn't come out well.

Stunning castle perched high in mountains at Loarre. Amazing view for miles across the plain. A long tortuous drive uphill & many tight bends to good parking a short walk from castle.

The guided tour was fantastic, and the guide was outstanding! As it wasn't raining, the visit was very pleasant.

Castell de Morella

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Perched atop the town of Morella, Castell de Morella is an ancient fortress with a rich history dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. The large Moorish castle, built in the 13th century on earlier Iberian and Roman foundations, offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and hills. Visitors can explore its steep roads, medieval streets, churches, and walls before hiking up to admire its well-preserved walls and terraces.
We walked up to the castle which was quite a trek, zigzagging up the hill. Once we got past the metal bridge after the modern bull ring I walked along to the left to see the statue of Ramon Cabrera, a guerilla leader in one of the Spanish succession wars and views over the ruined convent of St Francis. Access to the castle from there was blocked so I walked all the way back and carried on up the hill to the main gate. This had obviously been repaired recently but if an attacker even go that far I'd be impressed. The area before the summit contained the governors palace (now housing an exhibition of the town's history) and various admin, storage and living rooms and a prison. The 19th century improvements were very visible with extra walls and batteries due to the capabilities of modern canon, two of which were added to the castle in the 1950s. The top of hill was very windswept and had lots of rooms with information boards but in Spanish only. The views, as you can image, were just fantastic with the lower fortifications, the city walls, the medieval aquaduct and the wider Valencian countryside all layed out.

Wow, climbing up to Morella’s castle felt like stepping into a medieval saga! The steep, winding path had my heart racing, but those jaw-dropping views of the Valencian countryside? Totally worth every step. The fortress, perched at 1,073 meters, is a time capsule did you know it was first built by the Moors in the 900s on Roman ruins? For just €2, you get to explore its ancient walls and towers. Wear comfy shoes, bring a water bottle, and don’t skip the tiny fossil jewelry shop at the exit those pieces glow in the sun! Perfect for history buffs and adventurers alike.

There’s plenty of interesting information about what happened here during medieval times, which makes the visit even more fascinating. The castle is very well maintained, and it’s easy to imagine what life might have been like centuries ago. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

Castell de Morella is a must if you’re chasing history with jaw-dropping views. This ancient fortress, perched on a rocky hill, feels like stepping into a medieval saga. Pro tip: visit early morning when it opens at 11 AM to skip any queues—takes about 5-10 minutes max. Entry is just €5, a steal for the climb to Plaza de Armas, where you’ll snap epic photos of Morella’s red rooftops and the Els Ports mountains. Wear comfy shoes for the steep paths, and don’t miss the Convent de Sant Francesc entrance it’s the only way in

It's a little town on the hill, with an ancient church building, though small it's very unique worth to explore even though you may have seen many. The castle on the top is a ruine, ancient but nothing much to see. The streets in the middle of the hill are just like any other Spanish town.
