A Summer Palace for the Queen

 Queen Maria Cristina commissioned Miramar Palace, which overlooks the Kontxa Bay. It was the summer home of Spanish royalty, and then briefly, the summer home of the president of the Spanish republic. Then it went back to royal hands, and is now municipal property. It is used for University of the Basque Country and Musikene summer classes, and it is one of the best places in town to sit on a bench with a book in the shade on sunny days.
