Flysch: The Most Beautiful Coastline of the Basque Country
Dramatic Cliffs, Ocean’s Might, Fine Wine, and Chic Fashion

Discover the most impressive stretch of the Basque coast — just 30 minutes from San Sebastián-

Welcome to Zumaia Flysch Natural Park, where the history of the Earth is written into the cliffs. While geologists can read these rock layers like an open book, we’re here to feel the raw energy of this incredible place.

We’ll walk the Flysch Route, where each step represents 500,000 years of geological history. The views from the cliffs surpass even the boldest imagination, truly indescribable.

According to esoteric belief, this unique area is one of the few places on Earth where all four essential elements — earth, fire, air, and water — converge. The energy here is powerful; it’s the kind of place that recharges your soul.

But this experience doesn’t stop at natural wonders.

We’ll climb into the heart of Basque wine country, stepping onto a 2,000-year-old Roman road that leads us through vineyards with a unique grape-growing tradition. This is where Txakoli, the region’s fresh and vibrant white wine, is born.

And of course, no journey along the Basque Coast is complete without a visit to the picturesque fishing village of Getaria — the birthplace of legendary fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga. Yes, he was Basque! You can even visit the Balenciaga Museum to see his original creations.

To round off this bright and beautiful day, I’ll gladly recommend the best place to enjoy ultra-fresh charcoal-grilled fish — a local specialty that tastes even better by the sea.
