Monte Igueldo

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:32:57

The views from the summit of Monte Igueldo, just west of town, will make you feel like a circling hawk staring down over the vast panorama of the Bahía de la Concha and the surrounding coastline and mountains. The best way to get there is via the old-world funicular railway to the Parque de Atracciones , a slightly tacky theme park at the top of the hill.

Individual rides (which include roller coasters, boat rides, carousels and pony rides) cost between €1 and €2.50. Trains on the funicular railway depart every 15 minutes.
