At the indicated time, we'll meet at Hotel Gaztelu-Begi, in the town of Baquio, just 15 minutes by car from Bermeo. Once everyone is together, we'll begin one of the must-do activities in the Basque Country. Ready to visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe? Here we go!

We'll set off on a walk of almost 40 minutes until reaching one of the most magical places on the Basque Coast. We assure you that the effort will be worth it!

Along the route, we'll explore a unique natural environment, declared a Protected Biotope and one of the great scenic gems of the Cantabrian Sea. Throughout the walk, we’ll gradually tell you the history of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, as well as some of its most popular legends.

When we arrive, we'll find the famous backdrop that was used as a filming location in Game of Thrones. Fans of the series will feel as though you're standing in Dragonstone!

Next, we'll climb the 241 steps of the winding stone staircase that leads to the hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. Did you know that this islet is full of magic? Its religious character, defensive role, and its connection with the fishermen of Bermeo will leave you completely enchanted with the place.

When we reach the hermitage, we'll say goodbye and conclude this tour of a total of 2 hours. From this moment, you'll have enough time to enjoy the views offered by the most charming island in the Basque Country.
