This cliff of Sakoneta is linked to that of Mendata. The path follows the very edge of the cliffs and overlooks secluded coves, soft rock walls, cascading streams and one of the largest tidal flats in Europe.

Algorri Flysch

Highlight • Natural Monument

Depending on the tide, the section at sea level is either accessible, not accessible, or only accessible to a limited extent. But in any case, it's extremely worthwhile.

It rained on the coast, and the Atlantic showed its stormy side today. We abandoned our plan to walk along the coast (only possible at low tide) and trudged through the mud on the official path inland. This is the Way of St. James, and we walked through the clouds that had settled here.

August 19, 2024,Hike along a scenic coast between Zumaia to Deba

Walk along a paradise-like coast between Zumaia to Deba. This coast is breathtakingly beautiful and is a protected nature reserve. The walk is very varied. You not only walk along the coast but also partly through farmland. It is a hike with quite a lot of descending and ascending but more than worthwhile

April 12, 2025,Felsenkunstwerke des Flysch: Zumaia - Deba 🪨🐚🦀

Yesterday we hiked a spectacular route from Zumaia to Deba. Directly beyond Zumaia begins the so-called Flysch zone. 🪨 The almost vertical marine deposits are fascinating. This stretch of coast 🌊 was added to the UNESCO Geopark network in 2015.

The term "flysch," derived from Swiss German, describes a sequence of parallel sedimentary layers that formed under specific geological conditions.
