6. Plaza de Gipuzkoa
This small square, which might be called a plaza, is more like a formal garden park than a city plaza. With its duck pond, flower beds, and many trees, it was designed by French landscape gardener Pierre Ducasse. It includes a large multicolored flower clock, and around Christmas time, a giant nativity scene fills the square.
7. San Telmo Museoa
The San Telmo Museoa is one of the best museums in the Basque Country. It has a thought-provoking collection that explores Basque history and culture in all its complexity.
Exhibitions are spread between a restored convent dating back to the 16th century and a cutting-edge newer wing that blends into its plant-lined backdrop of Mount Urgull. The collection ranges from historical artefacts to bold fusions of contemporary art.
8. Peine del Viento
The Peine del Viento (Wind Comb) sculpture is a symbol of the city, and is the work of the famous Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida and architect Luis Peña Ganchegui. It was installed in 1977, and is made of giant iron shapes anchored by pink granite.
The Peine del Viento is spread across three nearby sites, and its powerful but mysterious forms look all the more striking against the wave-battered coastline. If you're looking for a unique and breathtaking piece of artwork, be sure to check out the Peine del Viento sculpture on your next visit to the city
