The beautiful building of the old Urola de Azcoitia train station is currently used as a library. One of its rooms is decorated with old railway sleepers. In the back there is a bike mechanic and washing station.

Azpeitia is a beautiful Navarrese town on the Urola River. Among its jewels is the railway museum located in the old station. This town is ideal for making a raisin and enjoying its gastronomic offer.

The Loyola sanctuary, classified as an asset of cultural interest, is located next to the course of the Urola river. It is one of the most emblematic buildings in the Basque Country. The monumental complex, which includes a basilica, a library, gardens and a museum, among other rooms, surrounds the birthplace of Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Company of Jesus.
