María Cristina Bridge

In 1893 a temporary wooden walkway was built that would allow direct access from downtown to the North Station, the bullfighting arena or the velodrome.

Ribera and Zapata had been the authors of the project and Marcelo Sarasola and José de Goicoa, engineer and municipal architect, respectively.

Later the Orfeón Donostiarra and the Choir of the Municipal Academy of Music of San Sebastián consisted of 110 children, sang a hymn composed for the occasion by the master Santesteban.

At half past six p.m. almost whole the neighborhood had gathered near of North Station to witness the fireworks and the toro de fuego scheduled.

San Sebastián had three years without festivities as protest for the ban of the Sokamuturras feasts by the City council, for consider that this celebration "was more own of a small town than a large capital" so that on January 14, 1902, had ignited outrage among the young people that had shown their anger stoning lampposts, shop windows, and official centers and newsrooms.
