Paseo Nuevo wraps like a snake around the old town, although as far as reptile similes go, it is more of a chameleon. What appears to be a mere path changes according to the season: in summer, fairgrounds with rides and churro stands; in winter, a daredevil’s paradise, with waves that reach over 25 feet at their tallest. Starting at the (lovely to visit) aquarium, the path for both bikers, walkers and cars loops around the Oteiza sculpture ‘Construcción Vacia’, past the cemetery on the mountain: sweeping views of Santa Clara, the Cantabrian Sea, and Mount Ulia included.
