The nature of Guipúzcoa is made of film. It is not a hackneyed phrase, it is the pure truth; and we do not just say it. One of the stunning landscapes of its coast, the cliffs of Flysch, served as the stage for the last season of Game of Thrones. Pure magic, both in fiction and in real life.

 

Not only the beaches are like to stay enthralled; inland, Guipúzcoa has impressive valleys and mountains, and unique protected areas, such as the Aiako Harria and Aralar Natural Parks. Between one and other landscapes, the activities in nature in Guipúzcoa are really varied.

 

On the coast, you can do interpretive hiking through the Geopark of the Basque Coast, between Deba and Zumaia; or devote yourself to bird watching (birding) in the txingudi marshes. In addition, along the coast there are 16 beaches, all of excellent quality, where you can practice sports such as surfing or paddles surfing. Some of the best known are in San Sebastián, Zumaia and Zarautz.

And if you want to explore offshore, in many of the marinas that are in Guipúzcoa you can take boat trips, explanations of the coast, rent boats by sail or receive a diving course. Magic is not lost under water; We already warned you.

 

To continue with the activities in nature in Guipúzcoa, we can now go inside. One of the most demanded in hiking. There are paths and local roads, greenways, and long stretches of renowned roads, such as the Camino de Santiago del Norte. Many of them can also be done on horseback or by bicycle.

 

In the south of the province, the more mountainous areas, where the Natural Parks of Aralar or Aizkorri-Aratz are located, are also practiced other sports of more emotion, such as canyoning or climbing. And those who like to explore the subsoil can go to the caves of Ekainberri and Arrikrutz.

 

If you feel more angel than devil, paragliding from Mount Izarraitz or the Peñas de Aya Park is the closest you can get to touching the sky.

 

Almost a dream; how to be in Guipúzcoa.
