San Anton, Mountain peak near Getaria, Spain.
The 78-meter-high San Anton mountain rises directly from the Bay of Biscay, forming a distinctive peninsula connected to the coastal town of Getaria.
The mountain served as a strategic observation point for whale hunters and maritime traders from the 15th century until the decline of Basque whaling.
Local fishermen continue to use San Anton as a navigational reference point, maintaining centuries-old maritime traditions of the Basque coastal region.
A network of marked trails leads visitors to the summit, offering clear views of the Cantabrian Sea and the neighboring fishing port of Getaria.
The mountain's profile resembles a mouse when viewed from certain angles, leading to its Spanish name 'Ratón de Getaria' meaning 'Mouse of Getaria'.
