The bar was just being set up so we went to the top and hit the bar on our way back down. It was our reward. It was a great way to rest and leisurely admire the scenery. There is a bathroom nearby too which was pleasantly clean though it didn’t have soap. Highly recommend!"

We also saw a ship in the distance."

Prices are surprisingly very reasonable given the location and number of tourists - very similar to anywhere in town They serve simple food here (sandwiches, olives, a few simple pintxos) and the usual drinks, plus Spanish craft beers. Sitting in the sun by the castle wall, looking at the view with a nice glass of wine/beer is one of the best experiences in San Sebastian."

I’d recommend to drop by for sunset although it may be hard to get a great seat. Just note that cleanliness might be a small issue but the view and drinks makes the visit worth it."
