San Juan de Gaztelugatxe

Reviewed By O4063DJbenjaminh - Southport, United Kingdom

To get to Gaztelugatxe we drove up a steep winding road away from the town of Bakio where surfers were testing their grit and showing off their skills on towering formidable waves which crash on to the golden sand. At the top of the inclined road there is a large car park where you start you walk back through time. After reaching the starting arch you meander and descend down twisting pathways were you fight the urge to run as your feet carry you away. There are stunning views of the hermitage as your path winds down the hill. At the bottom you come across a bridge and cobbled steps that sweep up towards the mount that makes you feel like you are travelling back through time. The waves crash and smash against the ancient stones and bring a serene feel after a cautious descent. After taking in the beautiful views, start your ascent of the 241 steps to the summit where a real treat greets you. There you will find stunning panoramic views over the bay of Biscay and make sure to ring the bell three times on the restored chapel and make a wish. Make sure you take a rest to soak in the atmosphere as the walk back is arduous and will take your breath away.

Mirador De San Juan

Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States

For those who don’t have time to hike to the Game of Thrones stone, Mirador De San Juan is a great alternative. You can get the most wonderful views of the stone and clearly understand why this place has been chosen as the show location. Ethereal vistas in good weather.

Puerto Viejo Bermeo

Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States

Bermeo is such a charming Basque town! After parking our car on the street, we walked up the hill to enjoy beautiful views of the fishing harbor full of countless multicolored boats. Then we descended to the harbor to walk on the boardwalk and taking a close look at the picturesque boats. So lovely and atmospheric! Bermeo dates back to the 13th century and some of the its old streets still never lost their authenticity. Despite its small size, Bermeo is one of the important fishing ports in the Basque Country; hence, the quality of the daily catch in its cozy restaurants.
