Igueldo Mountain is a unique destination that combines the past and present. The site offers visitors a chance to relive their childhood by visiting a picturesque fairground from yesteryear, complete with vintage attractions that still retain the beauty and spirit of the fairgrounds of the turn of the 20th century.

The journey to the fairground begins with a ride on a 1912 funicular railway, the oldest of its kind in the Basque Country. As you ascend to the top of the mountain, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the city and the Gipuzkoan coastline. Upon arrival at the fairground, visitors can enjoy a variety of charmingly old-fashioned attractions, such as a wooden rollercoaster, trampolines, and game booths.

Monte Igueldo fairground has a magical and romantic essence, with its mermaids, haunted houses, and mysterious river. The fairground has 20 vintage attractions that delight both children and grown-ups, including the "Paseo de la Risa" comic walkway, the Magical Labyrinth, and the wooden rollercoaster that dances over the sea. The tranquil atmosphere of the Bay and the impressive power of the waves breaking against the cliffs add to the charm of the site.

Visiting Monte Igueldo is a unique experience that transports visitors back to the past. The Igeldo funicular and the fairground capture the essence of the "Belle Epoque" and allow visitors to relive the journey that Donostians made in times gone by when they would go up to visit the casino and the dance hall located at the mountain's peak. With its picturesque journey and vintage attractions, Monte Igueldo offers a taste of the past in a beautiful and magical setting.
