Hiking to GAZTELUGATXE (DRAGONSTONE) | BILBAO, Spain vlog | Travel diary ♡

Описание: Hello ! ♡
My name is Marine, I’m French and I live in Paris.
I love to travel a lot, especially by myself. I grew up in Lille, France and have lived in London, UK for 3 years (and loved it!).
Travelling and making videos are my 2 main passions. I also love animals and have been vegetarian since I was very little (close to vegan).
I’m an introvert and very independent.
I am posting videos every Sunday on this chanel, mostly travel vlogs, but also vlogs in Paris or lifestyle videos.
I hope you’ll like them ! feel free to live me suggestions as I am still new to this ! :)
And consider subscribing ! thank you ♡

• Gaztelugatxe is an islet on the coast of Biscay belonging to the municipality of Bermeo, Basque Country (Spain). It is connected to the mainland by a man-made bridge. On top of the island stands a hermitage (named Gaztelugatxeko Doniene in Basque; San Juan de Gaztelugatxe in Spanish), dedicated to John the Baptist, that dates from the 10th century, although discoveries indicate that the date might be the 9th century. With another small neighboring island, Aketx, they form a protected biotope that extends from the town of Bakio until Cape Matxitxako, on the Bay of Biscay.
• Gaztelugatxe is a natural protected area. Admission is free, but on some dates you need to book in advance (www.bizkaia.eus/gaztelugatxe).
• The island of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe looks like it’s straight from a movie set. So it shouldn’t be any surprise that it was selected as a filming location for the HBO series, Game of Thrones. But whether you are a fan of the series or not, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe will dazzle you with its raw beauty.
Many will recognize San Juan de Gaztelugatxe as the island fortress of “Dragonstone” from season 7 of Game of Thrones, however, its real name can be translated as “castle rock” from Basque (“gaztelu” = castle + “aitz” = rock).

• If you are coming from Bilbao, you need to take 2 buses that will drop you just in front of it, on the carpark. However, on week-ends only the first bus to Biquao is running, so you’ll have to walk a few kilometres to get there. It’s around 6 kilometres but it is not that bad as the view is dazzling, and totally worth it. I also recommend coming as early as you can as it can get very crowded.
