San Juan de Gaztelugatxe
You can’t leave Mundaka without first visiting San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. A protected area considered a natural wonder, the islet has been resisting the onslaught of the Cantabrian Sea for centuries and has witnessed pirate sieges, naval battles and stories that still resonate in the atmosphere. You will want to visit it again.
The privileged location of Hotel Branka will allow you to visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe without the need to travel long distances, simply a car ride to the most magical place on the Basque Coast.
An impressive stone bridge and 241 steps lead up to the top of the great cliff over the Cantabrian Sea. The effort is worth it: at the top, you will find the Hermitage of San Juan and unforgettable views that will take your breath away.
If you are a fan of Game of Thrones, you will instantly recognize the places that served as the setting for Dragonstone, but long before the dragons, this was the territory of pirates, covens, and maritime myths that will not leave you indifferent.
Remember that access is free, but it requires advance entry reservation.
