Bilbao & Coast Tour from San Sebastian Spain Description

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe island
The access to the Island is spectacular. A winding path that leaves from the mainland and crosses an ancient stone bridge takes you to the top zone of the small Island after 237 steps.

The hermitage on the top of the island houses a number of emotive offerings from sailors who have been saved from shipwreck. According to an ancient tradition, once you have reached the hermitage it is necessary to touch to the bell three times and to make a wish. The effort necessary to arrive at the hermitage is valued according to tradition.

Gernika
Before heading back to San Sebastian you will pass through Gernika. On April 26th 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, the town was razed to the ground by German aircraft, sent by Hitler to support Franco's troops. When Picasso painted the Guernika in 1937, could not imagine that its vision of the bombing would become anti-warlike symbol.
