GAZTELUGATXE

The island of Gaztelugatxe is one of the numerous touristic places in The Basque Country. This island is located on the coastal part of Biscay exactly in Bermeo and is connected with the inland with a large tower. On the top of this precious island there is a small church  (which is usually closed) dedicated to San Juan one of the fourteen apostles. The best seasons to visit this beautiful spot are the spring and autumn, in order to enjoy the peace of the setting. In the summer it can get crowded. The views from this place are very beautiful because the sea erodes the rocky coast creating tunnels, arches and caves. To visit this place there are various parking's in a explanade and then you can arrive to the island in 10 minutes but in summer as I said the climbing is like a Via Crucis.

I think that to visit this place is very interesting and comfortable so if you are planing to visit the Basque Country visit Gaztelugatxe will be very good experience!

see you soon guys!!
