Miranda de Ebro

Miranda de Ebro is a municipality in northern Burgos Province that sits on both sides of the Ebro River. The town spreads at 471 meters (1545 feet) elevation and connects the older Aquende quarter on the left bank with the newer Allende district across the water.

The arrival of the railway in 1862 turned the town into a major transport junction linking Madrid to Irún and Castejón to Bilbao. The Carlos III Bridge was built in 1777 to replace an earlier structure washed away by floods.

The Church of the Holy Spirit, formerly San Nicolás, represents 13th-century Romanesque architecture and reopened in 1972 after extensive restoration work.

The town is well connected by several highways and national roads with regular high-speed Alvia train services to provincial capitals. The center can be explored on foot, with the bridge providing a direct link between both sides of the river.

The Church of the Holy Spirit preserves 13th-century Romanesque elements and reopened to the public in 1972 after extensive restoration work. The original name of San Nicolás was replaced with its current dedication during this transformation.
