View of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The San Juan de Gaztelugatxe Viewpoint is one of the most impressive places in the Basque Country. From there, you can contemplate the impressive views of the sea and the island of Gaztelugatxe, with its famous hermitage at the top.

The hermitage, dedicated to San Juan Bautista, dates from the 10th century and is located on top of a rocky islet connected to the coast by a stone bridge with 241 steps.

Butrón Castle

Highlight • Castle

Translated from English-Butrón is a castle in Gatika in the province of Biscay in northern Spain. It originally dates back to the Middle Ages, but its current appearance owes its current appearance to an almost complete reconstruction begun in 1878 by Francisco de Cubas. The castle looks like a fairytale, inspired by Bavarian castle models. Wikipedia (English)
