Monte Urgull
Monte Urgull, san sebastian
Monte Urgull is a large hill/small mountain that occupies the end of the peninsula next to San Sebastián’s old town. For a nice walk, follow the path that winds its way to the summit, where you’ll have breathtaking views of the shoreline and the city. The hill originally served as part of San Sebastián’s defensive fortifications, and the ruins of a fort, as well as a huge statue of Christ, tops Urgull. Bring a picnic and a bottle of wine for a wonderful midday meal.
