Igeldo, Mountain in San Sebastián, Spain

Igeldo, also known as Monte Igueldo, is a mountain in San Sebastián, Spain, rising to 181 meters (594 feet) above sea level. It stands at the western end of the bay of La Concha, and its summit holds a hotel and an amusement park, while a lighthouse sits on its northern slope.

A lighthouse once stood right on the summit, but it was later moved to the northern slope, where it still stands today. The amusement park opened in the early 20th century, and many of its original rides are still in use, giving the place a nostalgic feel.

The name Hiru Txubilloak, often used in Basque, refers to the three peaks visible on the mountain, and locals still use it when talking about the ridge. Near the summit, the old amusement park keeps its early 20th-century rides, and families often spend a few hours there after taking in the view.

You can reach the top by funicular, which saves a long walk and gives you more time to enjoy the views. Once up there, paths and viewing areas let you move around easily, but keep in mind that some spots can be windy, so a light jacket is handy.

The mountain actually has three named peaks: Igueldo or Txubillo, Millabier, and a third one, which is why the Basque name means 'the three peaks'. Visitors often focus on the main summit and miss the other two, which are quieter and offer different angles of the coast.
