San Juan de Gaztelugatxe
Take an unforgettable walk along the beautiful trail to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a stunning island on the Basque coast. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, as the path can be uneven. Climb the famous 241 steps to the top, where you’ll enjoy amazing views of the coastline and the Bay of Biscay. If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, this place will be even more exciting—it was used as the setting for Dragonstone in the series, adding an extra layer of excitement to your visit!
