Getting There
At the far west end of the bay, past Ondarreta Beach; about 40 minutes' walk along the promenade from the Old Town.

Why Go

Chillida, born in San Sebastián, set the three rusted sculptures, 10 tons each, into the rocks at the end of Ondarreta Beach in 1976. In the granite plaza beside them, holes in the ground blast out air and spray when the waves come in.
