Monte Urgull

Monte Urgull, the eastern headland of San Sebastian’s La Concha Bay, has been a strategic defensive site since the 12th century. Rising above the city, it now attracts visitors with its panoramic views. From the summit, one can see the sweeping curve of La Concha Bay, the sandy stretches of La Concha and Ondarreta beaches, the green expanse of Santa Clara Island, and the distant silhouette of Monte Igueldo to the west. The hill’s historical significance and natural beauty make it a rewarding destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers.
