Why go
Sancti Spiritus University gives Oñati an unusually strong Renaissance focus for an inland town walk. The church of San Miguel, Bidaurreta monastery and civic squares broaden that architectural story within the valley. Arantzazu shifts the experience towards pilgrimage and mountain scenery, so it deserves its own place in your day's plan.
What to look for
- Sancti Spiritus University's sixteenth-century façade and cloister reward close attention.
- The squares of Fueros and Santa Marina give the centre its civic spaces.
- Aloña's limestone ridge forms the mountain backdrop to town.
Useful to know
- Build the town walk around the university, San Miguel and the two main squares.
- Plan onward travel to Arantzazu separately; the sanctuary is outside the centre near Aizkorri-Aratz.
