Mount Urgull
Urgull rises directly above the Old Quarter, with wooded paths, fortifications and bay lookouts. Go for a hill walk that adds military history to the coastal views.

The climb shows why this headland mattered to the city’s defence. Paths lead past old military structures toward Mota Castle, then open onto views over La Concha and the Old Quarter. The height and slopes make this a more substantial outing than a waterfront stroll.
What to look for
Lookouts open over the Old Quarter and La Concha Bay.
Mota Castle and other fortifications crown the wooded hill.
A large Christ statue rises above the castle area.
Useful to know
Allow for an uphill walk and choose your lookout stops according to energy and weather.
Check seasonal gate times before starting late; the hill closes at night.
