Staying in Amara: choose the right station
Check the operator on your ticket before booking a room described as near the station. Amara is the Euskotren terminal on Plaza Easo; mainline trains and the coach station use a different location beside the river. The neighborhood also extends south toward Anoeta, so the district name alone does not tell you how long your arrival walk will take.
