In the province of Guipuzcoa, as in the rest of the Basque Country, we have a very rugged geography, formed by hundreds of mountains, beaches, rivers, marshes… This has resulted in a series of cliffs which we will talk about next. The most impressive cliffs of Guipuzcoa .
Cliffs of Zumaia-Deba-Mutriku: These cliffs extend through the region of Zumaia reaching Deba or Mutriku. Along this route there are a series of cliffs from where you can see the entire Basque coastline to perfection, being one of the biggest tourist attractions of the whole province, not only talking about cliffs but tourism in general. These are some of the most spectacular even in Spain. To be more specific we will summarize some information about the two most important cliffs of the complex:

-Chapel of San Telmo de Zumaia: Next to the church you can appreciate a magnificent and imposing landscape of the coast of Gipuzkoa, which is mixed with a quite appetizing climate and form one of the most outstanding and comfortable environments to appreciate the values of mother nature. Near this area is the beach of Zumaia.
-Flysch of Zumaia-Deba-Mutriku: The Flysch of Zumaia can be categorized in general as the entire mountain range that surrounds the coastline between Daba and Zumaia, however, we want to point out in particular a site on the beach of Saturrarán (Mutriku), where a series of rocks rise above the coast of the same and adorn the landscape during low tide in a spectacular way. This beach is one of the most recognized in the province of Guipuzcoa, and is even as famous as some of the surfers’ beaches in San Sebastian. One of the best cliffs in Guipuzcoa.
El Ratón de Getaria: This place is one of the most special in the whole province, it is one of the best known in terms of cliffs, it is located in the region of Getaria, in Guipúzcoa and its profile shape gives it the name of “El Ratón de Getaria”. Among its characteristics is that it is attached to the coast by a small row of land and that the constructions inside it have been practically ephemeral, as there is only a path to the top and a couple of small houses. It is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular cliffs of Guipuzcoa and of all the Basque Country, it is worth visiting even in several seasons.

Undoubtedly when visiting Guipuzcoa and the Basque Country in general, it is a must to climb some of these cliffs that have become a reference for tourists heading to the province. Examples such as the hermitage of San Telmo or the Mouse of Getaria make us conclude that thanks to these geographical features the region has benefited historically.
