Efter at have forladt provinsen Gipuzkoa er Markina-Xemein den første nævneværdige by i Viscaya.

Der er en række monumenter i byen, meget takket være pilgrimsruten.

Det er Convento e Iglesia de la Merced, Santa María de la Asunción de Jeméin og San Miguel de Arretxinaga. Hvis du kun skal besøge én, så gør det San Miguel, den sekskantede kirke blev bygget omkring en megalitisk klippeformation, som dominerer det indre, og den opfylder selve definitionen af unik.

Lige så æret (af baskerne) er de tosidede frontón-baner, hvor mændene kommer for at spille jai alai (baskisk for 'glad fest'). Den kommunale bane her har produceret så mange spillere af international berømmelse, at den har fået kælenavnet Pelotas Universitet.

The Road

Den afmærkede camino passerer kirken og klosteret og drejer til højre ved den første gade forbi dem. Følg vejen over en lille flod, og drej til venstre ved den første vej, og hold dig tæt på den nærliggende bygning for at følge en parksti, som snor sig langs floden. Caminoen fører dig tilbage over floden (selvom den er overdækket, så du måske ikke bemærker det) og derefter under BI-633. Den følger en mindre flod forbi en industripark og ind i Iruzubieta.

Was open before the stated opening time of 3pm and filled up fast. Was full by 5pm, however the hospitaleros will put mattresses on the floor to avoid turning people away.

There’s a mass that pilgrims can attend at 7.30pm.

There are jugs of water, a kettle, fridge, microwave & common room.

There are single beds as well as bunk beds and lockers for each bed (which is numbered). Make sure you have a 1€ coin for the locker - you get it back.

There is also wifi and details of a laundromat in town if you need to do a load.
It’s old but it’s a donativo and it’s perfectly adequate for a pilgrims’ needs with friendly hospitaleros (Spanish/Basque speaking only).

It was 15€ for a bed, 14€ for dinner (they had two separate dinner times 19:30 and 20:30), and 4€ for breakfast. They’ve got nice outside areas to relax with good views, all of the amenities you could expect from an albergue, and the people who run it are very nice. Beds have a bottom sheet and pillow with a case along with a thick blanket/comforter. I just used a sleeping bag liner instead for a sheet. I was able to walk up just after 15:00 without a reservation but I thought I overheard one say over the phone that they were full for tomorrow so maybe make a reservation?

No sign of it being an albergue anymore.

Stayed at intxauspe which is lovely, only thing is it doesn't have a kitchen pilgrims can use and if you leave sthg in the fridge need to take it out at night or wait until they come in the morning. There's a bar and they offer a nice dinner and breakfastas well.

Funny little town. We stayed at CasaRural (Intxauspe) which is cheaper (€15) for Pilgrims. Lovely albergue, no dinner but good breakfast and town only a short walk away.
