Things To Do
Mount Urgull (For the Adventurer)
A prominent hill that served as a strategic defense point during the 12th century. This short but steep walk leads to Mota Castle at the summit with headquarters, barracks and a chapel, with beautiful views of the city and Biscay Bay. There are four paths that will lead you to the top; each has exceptional viewpoints to gaze at the city and sea below as you climb. The best route starts next to San Telmo Museum. Urgull is a 20 minute walk from Hotel Maria Cristina.
Monte Igueldo (for the Child at Heart)
Take the hundred-year-old igeldo funicular railway to the Monte Igeldo fairground featuring twenty charming old-fashioned attractions, such as the wooden rollercoaster. In addition there is a zip-line park that can be enjoyed overlooking views of the city.
Beach of La Concha (for the Beach Bum)
Frequently sited as one of the most beautiful and urban beaches in Europe, named the third best beach in the world by Travellers’ Choice 2024. Although the weather may be on the cool side in April, walks and views from the beach will be stunning!
Parque de Cristina Enea (for the Naturist)
Take an approximately two-mile stroll around Parque de Cristina Enea, the one-time home of its namesake the Duchess of Mandas, and her Ducal husband Fermín. This is the biggest park in San Sebastián, set over 23 acres and dating back to the late 1800s. Ducks, swans and peacocks swim in the ponds, and a handful of buildings dating from the period are scattered across the grounds, ripe for exploring (Condé Nast Traveller)
