Over
Korte feiten: A hill rises sharply from the coastline, offering panoramic views over both the city and the Bay of Biscay. Historical stone pathways wind through thick greenery and relics of old fortress walls.
Hoogtepunten: At the summit, a 12-meter statue of Christ watches over the city, a powerful symbol seen from miles away. The site blends natural beauty with centuries-old military history, where cannons once stood guard and now seabirds nest among the ruins.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes; paths can be uneven and steep in places.
- Capture sunrise from the summit for incredible city and bay views without crowds.
- Skip the busy midday hours, especially on weekends, to enjoy peaceful trails.
- Bring a light jacket even in summer as coastal breezes can get chilly at the top.
