It is where the most important and most important events of the city are celebrated, such as the traditional Tamborrada or the Santo Tomás Day fair.

With its 600 metres, Ondarreta offers a varied sports offer. Swimming and volleyball lessons are organised in summertime. I visited it on my way to "El Peine del Viento" and I saw many people swimming, surfing, sun bathing or just enjoying the area by seating or walking.
