It’s worth reading up on Arantzazu (Google etc). I told friends I found the tower’s architecture to be a bit uncomfortable, that I felt I was being poked by all those pointed stones. Turns out the origins go back to a shepherd’s vision of the virgin Mary in a hawthorn bush. Thorns are literally embedded in the etymology of Arantzazu.

That Basque country has some incredible gems and this looks like one of the greatest. It seems like a staggering monument to endurance.
