Real Sociedad, who won the first leg 2-1 at home, will face either Granada or Athletic Bilbao in the final - their first in 32 years - on April 18. Athletic Bilbao won the first leg 1-0 at home.
Sociedad went ahead five minutes before the break when Mikel Oyarzabal converted a penalty following a Mickael Marsal hand ball in the area.
They went close to doubling the tally when Adnan Januzaj hit the woodwork one minute into the second half.
Mirandes, who had only one shot on target in the match, never threatened to continue their dream run in the competition, during which they eliminated La Liga sides Villarreal and Sevilla.
