    Mountaineering

    Made popular by Game of Thrones, the long stone bridge connecting the island to the mainland follows a narrow path with no less than 241 steps to the San Juan hermitage/castle located on the island's mountaintop.

    Hiking

    Due to the number of tourists who wish to visit San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, it is no longer freely accessible to the beginning of the stairs leading up to the hermitage. Now it is necessary to reserve access (free), go through a turnstile and make a steep descent until you reach the base of the hermitage stairs.
