Discover Miranda de Ebro: Holiday Apartment and Historic Sites

The history of Miranda de Ebro, represented by Castillo de Miranda, dates back to the 14th century. El Jardín de Miranda, covering approximately 2,400 m², lies beside it on the slope of Cerro de la Picota. For visitors, historic buildings, sites open to the public, festive traditions and local specialities come together here – four different ways of experiencing a place that can be considered separately when planning a trip.

Culture

The Iglesia del Espíritu Santo dates from the 13th century and is the oldest religious building in Miranda de Ebro. The stone Puente de Carlos III crosses the Ebro between Aquende and Allende; it has six arches. Casa Consistorial stands in Plaza de España, a neoclassical building within the Conjunto Histórico de Miranda de Ebro. The Antiguo Convento de las Madres Agustinas is considered an example of French architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Iglesia de Santa María was built between 1523 and 1571, designed in the Renaissance style and featuring some Late Gothic details.

History

A concentration camp operated in Miranda de Ebro from 1937 to 1947; it was the last camp in Spain to close. This clearly dated period complements the older traces visible at the castle, religious buildings and historic structures.

Festivals

Since 2015, the Fiestas de San Juan del Monte in Miranda de Ebro have held the status of a festival of national tourist interest. The fiestas include a pilgrimage on the weekend before Pentecost and on Whit Monday. The festival tradition is therefore described both through its recognised status and through two specifically named dates.

Cuisine

The local larder of Miranda de Ebro includes morcilla, delgadilla and tomatoes from the local gardens. The tradition of Chacolí mirandés has also been revived in Miranda de Ebro. These products and the wine tradition provide several distinct points of reference for the local cuisine.

Sightseeing

Castillo de Miranda can be visited free of charge independently or as part of a guided tour. El Jardín de Miranda is also accessible free of charge independently or as part of a guided tour. With advance reservation, CIMA offers free guided tours of Castillo de Miranda and the Jardín Botánico, through the historic centre and focusing on the architecture of the Ensanche. The interior of Iglesia de Santa María can only be visited during services. For planning purposes, independent visits, reserved guided tours and access limited to services can be compared as different visiting formats.
