Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
Coastal transition stage with several spectacular viewpoints over the cliffs of the flysch of the Basque Coast, declared Geopark by UNESCO. The route leaves Zarautz and advances through Getaria, Zumaia (with its famous geological folds in Itzurun beach, scene of the series Game of Thrones and Almodovar's films) and continues inland through Elorriaga. The profile has constant ups and downs and the road surface alternates track, asphalt and trail. About 22 km with a final steep descent to Deba, a town with a bay and a medieval old town.
This stage is one of the most spectacular along the Basque coast. The route follows a coastal path that winds its way over cliffs, offering breathtaking views of the Cantabrian Sea. The route passes through the charming seaside village of Getaria, birthplace of Juan Sebastián Elcano. The standout section is the one that crosses the Basque Coast Geopark, with its spectacular rock formations from the Flysch. It's a medium-difficulty day, with an undulating profile, culminating in the town of Deba.
