You Can Walk To This Rugged Spanish Islet

You Can Actually Walk To This Islet

Meet the little slice of Spain you never knew you needed to visit. It's called Gaztelugatxe and it's an islet off the coast of Biscay, Spain.

You'll get all wanderlust-y looking at it, especially when you see its "Stairs Above The Sea", which are a regular on any "Most Extreme Staircases In the World" list.

Described as a magical island, Gaztelugatxe is famous for its winding staircase that extends over a spectacular bridge, made from the natural landscape and rocky coastline. The bridge leads to a hermitage, called San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, and is complete with a small church. Once you tour the grounds, take part in the tradition of ringing the church bell and making a wish.

We promise you won't leave without taking at least 20 pictures of the stunning coastline.
