Overlooking the Parte Vieja, or Old Town, Monte Urgull has played a crucial part as protector to San Sebastian since the Middle Ages. If the hill looks steep, have no fear: there\u2019s a 2.5-mile path that gently ascends the hill in a circular manner. Once at the top, you can enjoy the stunning views of the city from the medieval Castillo de la Mota.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"805\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/paseo_nuevo.jpg\" alt=\"A lush green hill bordered by a winding road sits by turquoise water, marina with boats, and a city of red-roofed buildings.\" class=\"wp-image-23323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/paseo_nuevo.jpg 805w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/paseo_nuevo-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/paseo_nuevo-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mont Urgull,  definitely worth the hike up, for the views below.

The most classic walk in town is to amble along La Concha, the iconic seashell-shaped beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire walk is about two miles and there are outdoor cafes along the way to take a breather. Ultimately, you\u2019ll get to the southern end when you reach the <em>Peine del Vento<\/em> sculptures by artist Eduardo Chillida\u2014three steel sculptures weighing over nine tons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4176620458_2946b67619_k-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"People sunbathe and swim on a busy sandy beach in San Sebasti\u00e1n, colorful umbrellas dotting the shore, with Monte Urgull behind.\" class=\"wp-image-16757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4176620458_2946b67619_k-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4176620458_2946b67619_k-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4176620458_2946b67619_k-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4176620458_2946b67619_k.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">La Concha beach is definitely worth visiting if you&#8217;re traveling to San Sebasti\u00e1n.
