Monte Igeldo Apartments in San Sebastian, relax with spectacular views.

 The perfect apartments for people who prefer a peaceful, traditional rural setting away from the hustle bustle of the city, while at the same time only a few miles from the centre of San Sebastian.

     

 This is a very quiet and tranquil area at night-time.

The long promenade with pretty gardens along the Ondarreta Beach is a landmark here. At the end of this walk we find the famous sculpture of Eduardo Chillida, the Peine del Viento (Wind’s comb), one of San Sebastian’s symbols.

The westernmost spot of this beach is marked as the starting point to the climb of the Igeldo Mountain. From here you can get the funicular to the Igeldo amusement park, or take the road to the Igeldo neighbourhood.

The Miramar Palace is situated at the easternmost point of the Ondarreta Beach and it appears as a natural frontier between the Antiguo, Aiete and the Centre neighbourhoods. This palace and its surrounding gardens facing the bay, are like a banner for the city as it was here where the former Royal Family used to spend their summer holidays at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Thanks to these prestigious visitors San Sebastian became a very fashionable city among the elite tourism. Nowadays, the Miramar Palace houses the High School of Music of San Sebastian. You will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the bay from here.  

Another important and lively spot in the Antiguo neighbourhood is the Matia Street. There are both modern supermarkets as well as traditional shops in this area. Once a month, a street market of typical products is set up here too. As in other parts of the city, there are several well-known pintxo bars along this street.

A recently built residential area called Benta Berri is found at the end of the Matia Street. It is a quiet area where young families have set up their homes among parks and all sort of shops. The Basque Country University Campus is also located here. Thanks to a modern and wide network of public transport, the Antiguo is very well connected to the other city neighbourhoods.
