The municipalities of Donostia-San Sebastián and Pasaia requested in 2014 to declare the mountain as a hunting free zone, and this was recognized by the Provincial Council. In response to last year's ruling, Ulía has once again become "a safe and undamaged space", corrected by legal errors.
The environmental groups, including Eguzki, Zika and Gune Naturala, have applauded the decision of the Governing Council. "The ulage is shot free and thus establishes a basic condition for all kinds of users and users to enjoy this space peacefully."
