Monte Urgull

@photooiasson/iStock

The sun sets behind the Monte Urgull of San Sebastian, Basque Country, Guipuzcoa. Spain. View from Zurriola Avenue.

You can walk to the summit of Monte Urgull (123m), topped by the low castle walls of the Castillo de la Mota and a grand statue of Christ, by taking a path from Plaza de Zuloaga or from behind the aquarium. The views are breathtaking and the shady parkland on the way up is a peaceful retreat from the city.
