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.

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.

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

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.

We enjoyed the guided tour at noon. The guide was very competent and spoke in a clear Spanish. Even if you do not speak Spanish most visitors will enjoy the tour.

Look Up! Marvel the magnificent gargoyles! And don’t forget to photograph the photographer and see the Aliens Xenomorphs!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

A wonderful experience. Well kept for all to enjoy. Pay for entrance when you arrive. There will be busy days/times. We visited fairly early after opening.

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 very interesting and educational museum for all ages. One can learn a lot about the history of human civilization. Some exhibits are digital and interactive, which makes the experience even more engaging. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must visit if you are in Burgos!

Incredible, elegant and creative display that synthesizes a ton of wild material. English translations of about 90% of the exhibits. Highlight is definitely the French-made models of hominids. Many of the items on display are replicas, but the replica quality is high.

I think at least a full morning or afternoon is needed as there is so much incredible information and displays to take in.

To find this incredible museum in a fairly small city was a revelation. The displays were informative and inspirational, you must visit Burgos to see this museum and all the other wonderful places within its vicinity!

Fascinating and highly informative museum, suitable for most ages from schoolchildren to adults. All exhibits are described in Spanish and English.

Well well well worth a visit if you’re passing through Burgos. Excellently laid out and incredible amounts of exhibitions displaying evolution of mankind with plenty of discoveries from nearby Atapuerca. €4 with credencial. Kudos to the museum!

I didn't even knew about the monastery and the gregorian chants of the monks. Learned that by chance. Still a nice experience withnessing that on my way to Sad Hill Cemetery.

Small monastery with a rich history. Guided visit by a monk.

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. A highlight of the cloister visit is the renaissance-era pharmacy, complete with a huge copper still, stone mortar and pestle, and dozens of jars, vials, and pots for herbs and potions...straight out of Harry Potter!

Don't miss the hymns of the monks at 8pm in the summer and 7pm in the winter. Amen!😍👍🙏

Very very nice and interesting, beautiful, you breathe history.

Great monastery. Do attend the Gregorian chanted masses when visiting, check the timetables.

Beautiful and surreal town with fantastic views and restaurants

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.

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.

A lovely fresh market with local produce. Great to have a look even if you’re not planning to buy anything. There is a great food hall on the first floor.

It’s a nice market where you can really find everything you need. You can be tourist or local and you cannot be disappointed. Everyone is nice. There is also very good and nice gastro part in the market. I would recommend to must see and eat in Bilbao.

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 selection was amazing but literally no market!? Thinking maybe that happens in the AM or something because it was stone empty other than the increibe selection of Pinxtos on the first level.

The house red wine was good and the staff were friendly. However, the food left a lot to be desired. It was so salty and lacked flavour. Can pay by card or cash

Because no table was available I want to try the Pintxos for to-go. Waited to be served for five minutes. Then the waitress sent me to the other side of the counter, where I waited five minutes again. Then I left without any food. They are good at ignoring…

They are not service minded, they just let you wait on the table ignoring you. The waitress was also very rude, so if you want to be treated well please avoid this place.

Sooo many pintxo to choose from -so many vino tinto and not nearly enough time! Owner /bar was so helpful too. Easy to recommend this bar!

Awful attitude of the waiter outside. We had a very hostile welcome and were left to wait for a long time before we were able to get our drinks. Can't comment on the food - we asked if we could order food and the waiter walked away. At which point we decided it was time to leave. Avoid.

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!

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.

Magnificent! Griffon Vultures, Blue Rock Thrush, Firecrest, Rock Sparrow, Crag Martin. Walk around lower canyon also fabulous. Great views of Egyptian Vulture. Visitor Centre very helpful.

A very nice Canyon with some small hiking, you need to pay $4 euros to get in and another one Euro for visiting the church. If there are some restaurants or Cafe inside it will be better.

A stunning national park nestled in a valley. Home to soaring condors, dramatic cliffs, unique rock formations, and a fascinating cave, it’s really pretty. In the middle is a beautiful church. Tons of great hiking opportunities and breathtaking views -- definitely worth a stop!

A really nice walk along this beautiful gorge/valley with rugged out crops lined by pine forest. We were totally alone and enjoyed the easy flat walking along the trail that hugs the river with a liberal sprinkling of dragonflies. Our start point was the motorhome aire at Hontoria del Pinar which we also highly recommended. We will be back!

Beautiful ride through twisty mountain roads

What a lovely place. Cost 4 euros for parking but other then that it's free. Walk as little or as much as you like

A great place to explore and some fascinating rock formations

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.

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!

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.”

Went on a tour from Get Your Guide ‘From Bilbao: Gaztelugatxe, Gernika, and Mundaka Guided Tour’ - would really recommend. Walk was tough in hot weather but really enjoyable. Definitely worth it!

It opens at 16:00 in the afternoon in summer, but it takes 40 minutes to wait for a professional tour guide to lead the tour. There is no English in Spanish🥶🤪

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.

Wonderful tour of the Monastery and amazing history at the birthplace of Castillan Spanish language.

Magnificent from the outside and divine within. This is perhaps one of the most important places in the region, not only in its grace, beauty and art but for its importance in the history of the Spanish (castellano) language. It is simply breathtaking.

Lovely historic monastery where Spanish Castilian language has its earliest roots. Calm and beautiful town in the middle of La Rioja, wine country of Spain.

Well worth a visit. Lovely setting and beautiful architecture. Yuso you access by car, Suso (the older one) is a 20 minute walk from Yuso (not accessible by car).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Amazing view, the hike is not demanding and so beautiful

Beautiful hike. Well marked and steep climb

(Translated by Google) Spectacular!! A must visit if you come to Soria in winter and if it is snowy more. A lagoon with some impressive photos. You can go around it and climb the rutilla to the waterfalls. (Original) Espectacular!! Visita obligada si vienes a Soria en invierno y si está nevado más. Una laguna con unas fotos impresionantes. Puedes bordearla y subir por la rutilla hasta las cascadas.

(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.

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!

The building was closed for renovation when we visited. Beautiful architecture in a very friendly town.

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.

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.

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. From a few year now, was done a huge work to understand was was wrong and what exactly had to be done to save the building.

Very busy street. Great choice of Tapas bars. A must see in Logrona

The highlight of my trip. What an experience from a food perspective. I went there 3 consecutive nights for food and atmosphere. Highly recommended

It is still fine the street but has made a huge change after the Pandemic. I went during the week so it was not super busy

Only one word - AMAZING!

The place to find great food offerings and drinks. Recommended.

A wonderful experience, buzzing and so many exciting places to graze.

Amazing street , amazing food !

Wow. What an amazing place. Well worth the walk. Free entry too (though donations can be made).

Amazing. Parked with the campervan on the Duero river and this place is a lovely stroll along the banks. Free entry and what an experience. Well worth a visit. Soria is an amazing place as well.

Interesting little place. Well worth the climb. Closed on Mondays, unless you just like climbing.

Beautiful setting. The chapel in the grotto under the church is fascinating, but inaccessible with Covid-19 protocols in place. The capacity in the main church is limited to 30 and opens every 30 minutes for people to view. You are only able to walk into the main church at this time under these limited conditions. Masks are required the entire time.

Incredible how they builded this church from the ground up. Very nice inside and out. I just took my time inside the service area by seating at the back of the room and dwell on the scenery.

Really worth a visit.. And it's free to go in. Fantastic chapel. Quite a few steps and a little climb but worth it.

Amazing and historical site in Soria. Read the story in the vitro window about the boy that fell and was unharmed thank to the saint's protection

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

Easy level trekking (more like walking), easier if you have car 😁. Loved the views. There is small entrance fee and also the other activities for which you have pay small amount but for one time experience I think it’s okay. It’s best place for kids, the park is full of games and stuff for kids.

Great views and trails but nothing much on the top itself. Enjoy the ride up stopping at the various points along the way.

Nice journey with the funicular to the top of the Igueldo Mountain where you can admire the spectacular view of San Sebastian and enjoy a meal or a coffee.

Monte gluedo its really amazing place

Breathtaking view! Entrance costs 2,50€ per person

Spectacular views of the beaches and San Sebastian.

I loved the size of the beach. Despite the crowds, it never felt overcrowded. If you enjoy proper swimming, you can swim long distances across the width of the beach. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. Plus, there’s convenient access to public restrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful beach. Mostly always well kept. Even if you don't like sand is very nice to stroll along just about any time of day.

Fantastic city beach with safe swimming water. There is an arched promenade allowing for shade if needed with young children.

One cannot come to San. Sebastian and not come to the beach. For goodness sake, this is the paradise part of SS. Full of people but ALWAYS enough space for everyone. Amazing and a must come for the sunshine!

Very beautiful in picture beach in the centre of Saint Sebastian. I really love my visit to the spot. Lots of people enjoying the weather and the scenic view. Around the beach area, there is plenty to see, including tourist attractions and spots to enjoy refreshments and food.

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.

Stunning city beach! Great moment for a nice walk at the beach a few meters only from the city center. Definitely a place to be in this city

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.

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.

A stunning medieval castle with impressive towers and courtyards. The architecture is unique, and the views from the top are breathtaking. A must-visit if you’re in Navarra!

Absolutely recommended. The castle is very well maintained and actually quite big. Great value for what you get. Audio tour is gives you much background information.

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.

Beautiful palace. Route through the palace and information well laid out. Lots of steps to climb to visit the numerous towers and parts of the palace. Would recommend a visit.

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.

The park is beautiful. It almost feels like you are in the American wild west. Stunning landscapes and a couple of vista points to observe and take photos from.

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.

It is an otherworldly landscape that feels like a forgotten planet, making it a truly magnificent place to visit. Driving through its wild, empty roads is a unique and liberating experience that perfectly captures the spirit of adventure. It's a must-see who is around that place.

Wonderful desert with impressive scenery. Parking lot next to it. Was easy to access. I have a feeling that the most beautiful during the sunset

Incredible lunar landscape exploration ... take a car, turn on the Kiss Radio, and sing with your best friend. There tou go : a magic lifetime moment ! A must seen european place ☀️

Stunning natural park with landscape that has you think you are in a western. The information centre is very helpful and the 30 odd kilometre loop gives you stunning views all the way

It's a magnificent palace to visit. A short guided tour reveals the history of this noble place.

Excellent town to visit and excellent tourist office. The guided walking tour of the town is really worth the while

Nice place except for the front office staff.

Good

(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.

(Translated by Google) From this beautiful palace, which has exhibitions and videos that are worth seeing, the guided tour of Sos begins. It is advisable to take this guided tour because it is a small city but with a lot of history that the guide explains to you in great detail. (Original) Desde este precioso palacio, en el que tiene exposiciones y vídeos que merecen la pena ver, arranca el tour guiado por Sos. Es recomendable hacer este tour guiado porque es una ciudad pequeña pero con muchísima historia que la guía te va explicando con mucho detalle.

(Translated by Google) We took the guided tour and found it very interesting. Just being able to enter the crypt and see those wonderful paintings, we are delighted. Some anecdotes such as the inscriptions on the stones of the French soldier and the eclipse of 1300 complete the experience. (Original) Hicimos la visita guiada y nos pareció muy interesante. Ya sólo con poder entrar a la cripta y ver esas pinturas maravillosas, estamos encantados. Algunas anécdotas como las inscripciones en las piedras del soldado francés y el eclipse de 1300 completan la experiencia.

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.

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.

Beautiful and really special. You can explore and discover how the monks used to live by walking over the remains of the monastery. White sculptures visually describe monastic life.

A very good place to visit. We took the guided tour and it was very interesting.

An incredible castle extremely worth visiting. So many corners, built on solid rock, interesting architecture, water channels in the rock floors, views. Everything! It was even staged in movies.

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. Download audio-guide on phone, or extra for guided tour. Mostly in good condition, some reconstruction, paper map would help as the castle like a maze inside. Large reception area with shop, cafe, toilets & picnic area outside.

A must see if you like castles. One of the best preserved Castillos in the Pyrenees. Amazing views of the mountains and the countryside. Canceled demonstrates several areas of fortifications, as well as a superb example of chapel Architecture from the Reconquista. Great side trip from Huesca or Zaragoza. Bring a picnic for the tables at the visitor area outside the castle or use the snack bar Spacious clean bathrooms at the on site ticket building/cafe

One of the best! Everything's beautiful... the approach by car if the castle itself perchwd on the mountain...the architecture and open spaces, the views. Go! 5*

A beautiful castle in a beautiful location! Loved looking round it, definitely worth visiting! There is a souvenir shop with public toilets just before going in the castle with a place that serves food. We had some tapas and they we're lovely! There is plenty of parking outside too.

The guided tour was fantastic, and the guide was outstanding! As it wasn't raining, the visit was very pleasant. Although I understand, the inside castle is very poor, only cold empty rooms, no decoration, simulation of how once it was, or art is found there. Very beautiful views and rich in history.

Great family (2+4) experience! We were extremely pleased with our guide David who guided us in a fun and safe manner. Our youngest girl of 8 years old skipped a few high jumps but was encouraged to expericence the adventure full swing. Exiting and beautiful trip1 Highly recommended.!

Our family had a wonderful day with Javier. It was our 8 year okd’s first time and she whined a fair bit in the beginning about the hiking ascent under the sun but soon all was forgotten as we navigated through the icy river, wading, swimming, climbing and jumping off rocks, crawling and squeezing through crevices. Javier really guided our and another family with 2 kids, serving as human ladder at times to support us. He kept the kids entertained and shared his enthusiasm and the beauty of the surrounding nature. We all had a blast

We had an excellent day canyoning with David in the Formiga canyon. Really exciting and fun while feeling very safe. Very good organisation and communication both in advance and on the day. Highly recommended!

David was a fantastic guide who we had lots of fun with. He knew the canyon and the river incredibly well. He was patient with our kids and they loved having him lead us.

Raul was the guide of my wife and my 3 kids. He should them al the best spots. The canyoning was a amazing experience and he was a very good guide

Canyoning in Alquezar is amazing. The trip is very beautifull, the stunning surrounding, refreshing water, (optional) jumps make it the best Canyoning trip we did. And our guide stimulated and helped where neefjes so my 10 year old daighter had the best day!

We had such an amazing time! Javi was so helpful and patient with all of us, and he guided us step by step with what to do to make the experience as fun and safe as possible. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place to visit! Looooots of stares, very nice views, impressive piece of history! Totally it's a visit must!

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.

Absolutely amazing place! The Castelo de Morela is stunning — the views from the top are breathtaking, and you can really feel the history in every corner. 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

Ticket costs €5/person. Dogs are allowed. A magnificent castle where can overlook the whole town.

It seems like a very big hill to climb to the top of the castle but it's not too bad, for someone like me who hates hills. Amazing views and information plaquards around, €3.50 entrance fee.

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.
