245 steps to San Juan Hermitage at Dawn




245 steps

Bakio



Liam and I made the 1hr treck from Bakio to St Juan Hermitage, a spritual retreat for sailors built in the 17th century with 245 steps linking the island to the mainland. At the top there is a chapel and hut like shelter with open fire for the sailors to stay during the Basque storms. It was a surreal experience at dawn as there was no one around and with the warm sun rising made for an unforgettable stroll....
