San Sebastian
Peine de los Vientos
Art & Nature in Harmony
Playa de Ondarreta
San Sebastian, 20008
This fantastic exhibition space is a harmonious combination of architecture, sculpture and nature. You'll find it at the end of Ondarreta Beach below Monte Igeldo. Luis Peña Ganchegi designed the square to fit the landscape as it climbs the hill but remains open to the sea. When the tide comes in you'll hear water rushing through the pipes on the ground. The waves break over the sea wall and flood the square. Eduardo Chillida created the series of huge sculptures called El Peine de los Vientos ("Wind's Comb") that have been placed on nearby rocks.
