This was the only street to survive the destruction of 31 August 1813, when English and Portuguese forces laid siege to the city's Napoleonic occupiers.
The nearby Santa Maria is a spectacular church.

The old city, historic and charismatic, has dozens of pintxos bars. It is a wonderful place to visit.
We are lucky to live close to the border and be able to enjoy two cultures.
