C 6322 runs south from Vergara in the direction of Mondragón (Basque Arrasate). Just before that town, at San Prudencio, a road branches off on the left and traverses beautiful scenery to Oñate. This little town, once famous for its university, has preserved a fine university building (16th C.) with a richly sculptured Plateresque facade. The
monastery of Bidauerreta has a Renaissance facade. The most notable feature of the 15th century church of San Miguel is the cloister, with a stream flowing through it.
