Mt. Urgull


Last week we explored the central mountain of San Sebastian that is above the oldest part of town and offers great views of the city from the reconstructed ruins of a church/ fort/ castle. The other mountain in the background is Mt. Ulia, where there is an interesting hidden fort, Monpas, that was built during the Spanish American War to protect the coast.

On the ocean side of Mt. Urgull is an "English Cemetery" with statues honoring the volunteers who died fighting in the first Carlist War in 1833.
One interesting feature was the guide to Graffiti.
