Funicular de Igueldo

The Funicular de Igueldo, or Igueldo funicular, is a funicular railway in the city of San Sebastián, in Spain.

Located on the side of a steep cliff face, Funicular de Igueldo consists of two carriages carrying passengers both up and down in a single track but doubled halfway to allow for fluent circulation of the carriages. Travelling the distance of 320 metres, the funicular connects Ondarreta Beach at the bottom, with the popular Monte Igeldo Amusement Park at the top, offering spectacular coastal views of La Concha Bay along the way.
