Byen ligger på vestbredden af sammenløbet af to floder, så der er naturligvis et par broer at krydse. Det er efter den anden overfart, at man kommer til den ældste del af byen, monumenterne og den bedste mad.

I centrum står Iglesia de San Pedro Apostol, stram, men med nogle oliemalerier af handelsskibe fra det 15. århundrede og et par sidekapeller. I den nordlige ende af byen, tæt på kysten, ligger Ermita de San Telmo.

Mellem disse to bygninger er det ved sidstnævnte, at du sandsynligvis vil finde skarer af turister og en lejlighedsvis turistbus. Selvfølgelig har San Telmo en dedikeret fanskare, men størstedelen af disse turister tager selfies på en berømt filmlocation (bryllupsscenen i den spanske topfilm Ocho Apellidos Vascos). Det samme er tilfældet med springvandet og statuen af San Juan Iturria.

Fiesta

San Pedro den 29. juni.

The Road

Den alternative rute, kendt som Ruta de Flysch, fordi den krydser de sedimentære klippeformationer, der er karakteristiske for denne kyst, er afmærket og passerer Ermita de San Telmo. Begge ruter passerer et offentligt toilet kort før ankomsten til Elorriaga.

If you don’t want to spend 100+ Euros a night and are hoping to stay at a cheaper place you better have a reservation. Apparently in this region there is no such thing as g as showing up and there being beds available

No albergue or cheap solutions for pilgrims. Only very expensive hotels (200€/night at least). The first affordable structure is in Itizar. 10km more..

The convent is under renovations! There are no cheap options in Zumaia. Santa Klara was not an affordable option. I'm disappointed as this is my 2nd leg that had no pilgrim accommodation after San Sebastian.

Camino de Sant… (ikke efterprøvet)

In this section at least, the ways are posted very poorly on this app. The main (blue) path does not adhere to the actual path on the ground, and the connections that exist between the red and the blue, the littoral and the normal route, are not marked at all on your app. It would be good for people to know that there is a way to bail out at the Hermitage.

The flysh route is lovely and stunning but also really hard with lots of ups and downs, some quite steep and on sandy ground.
The last uphill before deba to santa catalina is brutal. You could decide to take this route and see the beautiful stuff on the coast, and then after you leave the coast and go down through a forest bit you come to a sewage treatment plant and a main road. Instead of continuing up to santa catalina through the woods, you can take the main road into deba back along the coast. I don't know the exact way but people did it with Google maps from that sewage plant.
