With the arrival of good weather, June becomes the perfect time to visit Miranda de Ebro. This town in the province of Burgos, strategically located between La Rioja and the Basque Country, offers a well-balanced mix of culture, nature and gastronomy. Whether you’re a traveller passing through or planning a quiet getaway to the north, here’s a guide to the best ways to make the most of Miranda de Ebro this month.
Explore the Historical Heritage of Miranda de Ebro
Start your visit by exploring the old town, where narrow, history-laden streets reveal landmarks such as the Church of Santa María de Altamira, Miranda Castle, and the Carlos III Bridge — one of the city’s most recognisable icons. Every corner tells a story, connecting you with the medieval past of this strategic spot on the banks of the River Ebro. A stroll through the Botanical Garden beside the castle is perfect for a breath of fresh air and to enjoy the diverse plant life across its seven terraced levels.
Hiking Trails and Natural Escapes for All Levels
If you’re drawn to nature, Miranda offers a privileged setting for walking, cycling or simply disconnecting. Just minutes from the centre lies the Montes Obarenes–San Zadornil Natural Park — ideal for hiking and wildlife watching.
One of the most popular routes is the climb to La Muela and Pico Zarata, offering panoramic views over Miranda and the Ebro Valley. You can also opt for more relaxed trails like the Purón Gorge route or enjoy a gentle riverside walk.
Outdoor Events and Activities in June
June is a month of celebration in Miranda de Ebro. The San Juan del Monte Festivities, declared of National Tourist Interest, are held at the start of the month and fill the streets with music, tradition, and a joyful atmosphere.
In addition, local markets, regional food fairs, and open-air events such as concerts, guided tours, and sports days are often held throughout the month. You can check the updated programme on the official Town Hall events calendar.
Flavours That Delight the Palate
Local cuisine is one of Miranda de Ebro’s greatest attractions. Don’t leave without tasting roasted suckling lamb, Burgos-style black pudding, Rioja-style cod or oven-roasted peppers.
For a full gastronomic experience, visit the restaurant at the Hotel Tudanca Miranda — Horno de San Juan — where Castilian tradition is paired with local produce and the care of timeless cooking. And if you’re in town on a Thursday, don’t miss the “Ruta del Pincho Pote”, a beloved local custom that combines tapas and a vibrant atmosphere in the city’s central bars.
