O atrakcjach
Szybkie fakty: The stairs to the hermitage climb 237 steps carved into volcanic rock, and legend says ringing the bell three times at the top grants a wish. This tiny island church has weathered storms and pirate raids since the 10th century, with the current building dating to the 14th century.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: At the final bend in the staircase, your view opens onto a narrow land bridge that looks like a dragon's spine connecting the mainland to a jagged rock island. Locals believe that if you reach the summit without letting go of your companion's hand, your friendship will last forever.
Wskazówki od insiderów
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with good grip, as the volcanic stone steps get slippery when damp from sea spray.
- Time your visit for low tide to see tidal pools filled with crabs and anemones along the base of the island.
- Bring a windproof jacket even in summer, the Atlantic gusts at the summit are fierce and sudden.
- Skip the crowded midday hours between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM when tour buses arrive from Bilbao.
