The quieter western end of the bay — Ondarreta beach, the Igueldo funicular and Chillida's wind combs, backed by the residential Antiguo district. Calm, family-friendly and green, a short bus or bay-side walk from the centre.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 3.Monte Igueldo — Ride the creaky 1912 funicular up the western hill for the picture-postcard view down the whole bay, with a charmingly old-fashioned amusement park at the top. The classic San Sebastián photo, best at sunset.
- 6.Peine del Viento — Eduardo Chillida's famous 'wind combs' — rusted-steel sculptures bolted into the rocks at the western tip of the bay, where the Atlantic blows spray up through stone vents. A moving, elemental spot, especially in a swell.
- 14.Santa Clara Island — The little green island in the middle of the bay — a five-minute boat hop in summer to a tiny beach, a lighthouse and a walking trail, with the whole city framed behind you. A lovely, cooling escape on a hot day.
