Urumea River
The Urumea gives San Sebastián a flat riverside walking line from the sea into the city. Start near Kursaal to see the river mouth, then follow the bridges inland.

A riverside walk connects several parts of the city without committing to a hill climb. At the Kursaal end, the Urumea enters the Cantabrian Sea; farther along, bridges such as María Cristina add architectural detail. The changing banks offer a useful contrast to the beach promenade.
What to look for
The river reaches the sea beside the Kursaal.
Bridges punctuate the flat riverbank route.
María Cristina Bridge adds horse-topped obelisks to the walk.
Useful to know
Begin at the Kursaal esplanade and choose how far inland to follow the river.
Use María Cristina Bridge as a natural crossing toward the station and Tabakalera.
