Beyond La Concha: adventures near the Hotel Parma

Love the beach and pintxos but feeling curious for more? From Hotel Parma, right in the heart of Donostia, a world of epic little adventures is just a short walk (or train ride) away. So lace up your shoes, grab your camera and let’s go explore!

Start with a scenic stroll up Mount Urgull, just next door. You’ll find fresh air, stunning views and a bit of local history at the top. Prefer waves and art? The Paseo del Peine del Viento is a classic: a chill walk, crashing waves and Chillida’s sculptures making magic. Feeling a little wilder? Mount Ulia has forest trails, secret coves and panoramic views that are totally worth the effort.

Fancy a mini getaway outside the city? Hop on the local train to Hondarribia, a charming medieval town with great food and coastal vibes. Or visit Getaria, where grilled fish and ocean views are the perfect combo. And if nature is your thing, don’t miss the Flysch cliffs in Zumaia – they’re out of this world!

At Hotel Parma, we’ll help you plan the perfect day out.
