Subjects :The main attraction is Itzurun, the beach of Zumaia, from where the Flysch route starts with its 50 million years of geological history, when they rose emerging from the seas, the mountains were immediately subjected to the action of the erosion of the tides, a phenomenon that can be appreciated by going down to the beach but to be admired along the cliff path where the panorama changes the perception of geological nature.

Visits :We travel to the coast of the Basque Country and stop in particular at Zumaia, Deba and Mutriku (Guipúzcoa). The cliffs of this area take your breath away, especially knowing that they have more than 60 million years of geological history that the action of the sea has left in the open. To admire them, you can take a trekking route along the coast or take part in one of the sea excursions that are organized there for a fee. Geology is the true protagonist of an evocative landscape to be admired. The 13 kilometers of cliffs from Zumaia, Deba and Mutriku in the Geopark enclose a spectacular formation of rock layers called Flysch which, like a great encyclopedia, show us more than 60 million years of Earth's history. It is advisable to trek backwards after reaching the village of Mutriku from Zumaia by train, considering that it takes more than 5 hours of walking alone, if we then stop to photograph the times dilate
