Mount Ulia
A natural park in the heart of the city
A natural park in the heart of the city. An ancient lookout point for spotting whales, the area covers an extensive green area of 318,249 m².
Ulía was constituted for recreational use by the aristocracy in the early 20th century. Today it is the city’s biggest hillwalking area. The Coastal Route on the Way of Saint James crosses the hill from east to west. The Peña del Ballenero (Whaler’s Rock) and Peña del Rey (King’s Rock), enormous stones used as lookout points, its picnic area, the revamped Ulía Youth Hostel and the unusual views of the city are just some of its attractions.

Youth Hostel
Rest among the nature of Ulia
After a day of hiking with views of the Cantabrian Sea, there’s nothing like staying surrounded by nature. A cozy hostel, nestled in greenery and very close to the city center.
