On our way to La Rioja we came to Zumaia for a few hours. Mostly because we wanted to check on this famous (now even more so) beach. It is an impressive sight and well worth a drive. And especially after Game Of Thrones the popularity for sure really took off. There is no parking here, your best bet is to park by the \Txomin Agirre Kalea\ street by the river. Plenty of metered parking. And it's only an easy 10' stroll to this beach. The beach itself is a dark-sand beach. But it's not the beach that makes most people come here. It's the amazing rock formations and cliffs. Some rocks stand out like razors and the cliffs do look like they've been carved. But it's all mother nature and that makes it even more amazing. This is where some famous scenes from Dragonstone (GoT) were filmed. And it's interesting how easy it is to access for the public. And free....and no restrictions (except no pets). On the left side of the beach there are several caves. It's a bit wet on the way, but you can get there with sneakers even. On the right side are the razor-shaped formations and also the impressive cliffs. Be careful where to access, because it's swampy and you might bury your feet in it (like me). On the very right are some small stairs, the best way to access this area. It's really a great place to stroll along the beach. Great views. And less visitors than you might think. Especially if you walk along the beach on the right, then there are less and less people....the further you go. Impressive place. One of the best we've visited on this Road Trip.

The flysch rock formations here are stunning.
Amazing. You get to see layers of soil from 66 million years which former after different contents collided to join what is Spain today to be part of the Europe continent.
My wife and I are huge fans of GoT and had to come here to look at Dragonstone ourselves. Beautiful place and amazing scenery. Would make a great place to spend time watching the waves crash the formation and the mountains in the distance.
This is a beauty beach. Without buildings or roads, big waves and not so much heat as in southern beaches. Cantabric sea is a good choice
