Monte Urgull
Climb wooded paths above San Sebastián’s old town to fortifications and bay viewpoints. This is a hill walk with an ascent, so allow more effort than a promenade stroll.

Urgull gives you a different reading of San Sebastián, looking down on the old town and the water from a former defensive stronghold. Walls, military structures and tree-lined paths share the hill. It pairs well with San Telmo at the foot, although the climb needs its own time and energy allowance.
What to look for
Fortifications remaining on the wooded hill
Views over the old town and La Concha bay
Paths linking the hill’s military structures
Useful to know
Allow time for the ascent and descent rather than only the summit.
Pair the hill with San Telmo if you want an indoor stop nearby.
