Across the Urumea river — a laid-back, younger neighbourhood built around Zurriola surf beach and the Kursaal, with excellent, cheaper pintxos. More local and relaxed, a 10-minute walk to the old town; great value.

- 7.Zurriola Beach & surfing — The city's surf beach on the Gros side — an open, Atlantic-facing stretch with reliable waves, a young crowd and surf schools for beginners. Livelier and less genteel than La Concha; the place to catch a wave or watch one.
- 8.Kursaal — Rafael Moneo's pair of glowing glass cubes on the Gros seafront — the city's congress hall and the home of the film festival, lit up like lanterns at night. Striking modern architecture against the old-world bay.
