Bermeo and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe From TikTok
Bermeo's list is built around one rock in the sea. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, posted four times, is a small islet joined to the coast by a winding stone bridge, with 241 steps up to a hermitage and a bell that visitors ring three times. It stood in for Dragonstone in Game of Thrones. Entry is free, but the posts agree on one rule: reserve a timed ticket online first.
Around it sit the town of Bermeo, the main fishing port of the Basque Country; Mundaka, a surf town with a small harbor; and the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, the estuary and forest that ties the coast together. Mundaka's surf beach is itself one of the things to do inside the reserve, according to its listing.

Visiting Gaztelugatxe
Gaztelugatxe appears twice in the data, once from the main road entrance and once from the Mirador de Gaztelugatxe viewpoint, and both records say the same thing about access: free admission with mandatory advance booking, at least in busy seasons. One creator's timing advice is to go early in the morning or near sunset, when there are fewer people and the light is better. The climb is steep, so pace yourself on the way up and enjoy the Bay of Biscay views from the top.
Bermeo, Mundaka and Urdaibai
Bermeo was founded in 1236 and was once the capital of Biscay; the Ercilla Tower holds its Fisherman's Museum. Mundaka has a historic old town and is known for surfing. The Urdaibai reserve covers the Oka estuary with marshes for birdwatching, the Oma Forest and the Santimamiñe Cave, and its listing reminds you to check the tides before exploring the estuary.
Good to know
Yes. Admission is free, but you need to reserve a timed entry online in advance, especially in busy seasons, according to both creators and listings. Going early or close to sunset means fewer crowds and better light.
