    The Zenarruza Monastery, an ancient collegiate church declared a National Monument of the Basque Country, is located just a few kilometers from the village of Bolibar. It is considered one of the treasures of the country. In the Middle Ages, and especially during the Renaissance, it was an important enclave of the Way of St. James along the coast.

    You will reach Zenarruza via the remains of a stone-paved road once used by the pilgrims of St. James. The monastic complex includes a church from the XV. Gothic and early Renaissance (where the Plateresque-style retable of the high altar is to be singled out), a splendid cloister dating from the middle of the 16th century. dates back and several outbuildings of the cloister and the communal life as the houses of the abbot, the tenant and the refectory.

    There used to be a hospital for the pilgrims who were destroyed in a fire. However, after its recent refurbishment, it now serves as a hostel. It should be noted that the monks of the monastery work in the confectionery and have a shop within the complex where they can buy their products.

      A peaceful, pretty and quiet walk. Recommended with children.
