Ladder Gastelugache, Spain
From series “Furious Footways Around the World That Make You Dizzy”
Not far from the coast of the Gulf of Biscay is a tiny island of San Juan de Gastelugache, which is very popular with nature lovers and amateurs of quiet rest. One of the main attractions of the islet is the Gastelugache staircase, it is laid over a complex hilly terrain and leads to the hermit's hut, built on the edge of a steep cliff. To achieve the only "residential" building on the island, its guests need to overcome 237 steps.
The most terrible thing is to move up the stairs at a time when the sea is worried. In some places the staircase passes through very narrow ridges. This staircase built of stone is very beautiful, it will be a great place to admire the surrounding landscapes and a place for a memorable photo session. Travellers will be able to visit a church located on the island, in which an interesting collection of exhibits is kept today. For hundreds of years, sailors, who managed to escape from storm, brought their gifts to the church. Today, they form the basis of the exposition presented in the museum.
