Parks and gardens
The Ametzagaina Park
This park, located in the heart of the mountains, between Otxoki Park and the Loiola neighborhood, houses the remains of an old fortress from the 19th-century Carlist Wars. It features extensive deciduous forests and meadows, as well as areas for walking and playing.
Along with Miramon, Ametzagaina is one of the largest parks in San Sebastián and can be accessed from several neighbourhoods. It features extensive hardwood forests, areas of undergrowth and large grassy areas criss-crossed with five kilometres of paths for easy strolling. The Pyrenean oak, the type of oak that gives the park its name in Basque (marojo) and was once part of a primitive forest, can still be found, scattered among other species such as oaks, alders, chestnut trees, laurels, birches, etc.
