Monte Igueldo funicular, San Sebastián

A wooden funicular railway, running since 1912, climbs Monte Igueldo at the western end of La Concha Bay. From the top you get the classic postcard view of the bay, the island and the city. At the summit there's an old-fashioned amusement park with a 'Swiss mountain' rollercoaster from 1928.

Get there by walking along the promenade to Ondarreta beach and the 'Comb of the Wind' sculptures by Eduardo Chillida, then take the funicular up. Monte Urgull, at the other end of the bay, is free to walk up and also has great views.
