Beautiful Town that crosses the Way. The church of Saint John Bautista is a neogothic edifício rebuilt in 1912 that substituted the ancient one. In his interior Romanesque details dedicated to the Virgin of Arnotegui and Our Lady of the Half note, Romanesque and Gothic other one devoted to Our Lady of Jerusalem. The varied civil architecture turns out to be very interesting, with some Gothic element and big houses of hewing of stone or brick, someone with arcades in the top apartment. On Obanos, in a high place, there finds it chapel of Our Lady of Arnotegui, where according to the tradition the young duke withdrew from the world aquitano Guillén, penitent of to have killed his sister Felicia dedicated to the care of pilgrims to Santiago in Labiano. Also Guillén became a saint and his head covered with silver survives in Arnotegui, where the crowded one takes place, on Sunday following that of Easter, pilgrimage in the one that blesses the wine it coming to the mind of San Guillén. Obanos, crossing of ways, is a cradle of one of the legends more beautiful of the Milky Way, which oral transmission of generation in generation gave place in the sixties to the spectacle of historical reconstruction that happened in calling Mystery of Obanos or The Mystery of San Guillen and Santa Felicia.
