Why this trip
Early in the morning, when La Concha bay still lies quiet, the active part of the day begins in San Sebastián. A walk leads to the Mount Igueldo Viewpoint, from which city, bay and open sea can be surveyed. The climb is short, but challenges the calves and rewards with expanse. Good tread on the soles helps, because the paths up are steep and slippery after rain.
On the coast the Peine del Viento awaits with its iron sculptures anchored in the rocks at the end of the bay. If you want to mix movement with breaks, stroll afterwards through the Cristina Enea park and let the legs wind down. That creates a day with several small stages instead of one single big tour. If you travel in April to June or in September and October, the paths are pleasant to walk.
Bilbao lies nearby as a neighbour, should you wish to extend the trip by a second city. How many stages suit your fitness is something you clarify beforehand in the video call with Adventure.
