A remarkable religious and cultural site dedicated to the Virgin of Arantzazu, the patron saint of Gipuzkoa. Perched on a dramatic mountain landscape, it has been a place of pilgrimage since the 15th century, when legend says the Virgin appeared in a thorn bush. Beautiful, modernista and impressive Very unique and love this modern style Church, strongly recommended. We didn't go inside the sanctuary, but the is interesting to look at from the outside. It's in a very scenic spot with great views. There are many hikes that start from this place. We did the accessible Gomitzegi walk, which was pleasant and very well constructed but it was hard to find the start of the walk. We eventually found a path which starts to the right of the Goiko Benta restaurant, and the official start of the accessible route was a little way on from that. Beautiful in a stunning location. Inside the chapel of stone thornes is equally as stunning and transmits a feeling of peace and tranquility as deep as the mountains that surrounds it. Impressive spiritual place with amazing architecture. Definitely worth a visit. The entrance is free. Don’t miss the crypt with interesting murals. You can download descriptions via a QR code by the door. There are many hiking trails in the vicinity. Interesting and a nice view of the hillsides around the area. The best part was the various stained glass windows inside the church, they were really creative with great colours. And a very cute and cuddly cat. The public toilets had no seats and were pretty filthy. Very impressive place. Beautiful and art. Nothing like anything I have seen and experienced before. The place felt very grounded and powerful.
