Get ready for a truly unforgettable journey to a place that feels like it's at the edge of the world. From the clifftop, you'll start a steep but stunning hike down towards the sea, which takes about 30-40 minutes. Once you reach the iconic stone bridge, the real adventure begins: a climb of 241 steps up a winding path carved into the rock. At the summit, you'll find a charming little hermitage with breathtaking panoramic views of the rugged Basque coastline and the vast Bay of Biscay. It's a challenging trek, but the sense of accomplishment and the absolutely spectacular scenery are more than worth the effort.
