At the top of Mount Santa Tecla there is an ancient fortified Celtic village. This was once the center of a vast territory spanning from the north of Galicia all the way to the point where the Miño river meats the Atlantic Ocean.
It is easy to see why the ancient Celtic people would choose to settle here.
A the treacherous looking winding fortified walk way leads to a small church that sits on a small rock off the coast of the Basque country, at less than a hour ride from Bilbao. The place is special enough, even if it hadn’t been featured on Game of Thrones.
The area is now more famous than ever, but few stay until sunset when the cliffs really come alive.

Located west of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe in the region of Cantabria in North of Spain, the name of this coast derives from “Quebrado”, which means shattered in English. It is immediately evident why this name was chosen t. Jagged rocks jet out of the water, as if someone had taken a hammer to the coast line and only left scattered shards. It is a place of great natural beauty which is worth visiting if you are in the area.
