Donostia/San Sebastián >> Orio

Santa Maria and San Vicente churches are a must see in the capital, which houses several sculptures of the apostle in the San Telmo museum. Once outside the old town, and not very far from the neo-Gothic Buen Pastor Cathedral, we can find the small Santiago church hidden in the Amara Viejo neighbourhood, testimony to the St. James tradition in the city.
Continuing along the Paseo de La Concha seaside promenade, you'll see Palacio Miramar, a stately mansion built in 1888 over the ruins of an old convent which had served as a refuge for many pilgrims over the years. After reaching the end of the bay, the path climbs up to a rural area called Igeldo, which has maintained its traditional character. Following easy trails and paths, we reach the first of the Orio country houses, until a path with some of the original cobbles still in place leads us to the ancient chapel of San Martin, anteroom to historic Orio.
