I thought some one had made it up,
it shows a long narrow path going over a two-arch stone bridge and then reaching a most magnificent
staircase consisting of over 230 steps that lead to the hermitage which some
how looks like it has just been placed there like a Monopoly house, but this is
in fact Gaztelugatxe, it is a little island situated in the Bay
of Biscay just outside the Spanish coast in Basque Country, the island is
crowned by a small hermitage called San Juan de Gaztelugatxe dedicated to John
the Baptist, that dates from the 10th century, but could be as early as the 9th
century, with another small neighbouring island, Aketze, they form a protected
biotope that extends from the town of Bakio until Cape Matxitxako, on the Bay
of Biscay, it still looks so unreal.
