The Rock Of Gastelugache In Biscay And It Is One Of The Shooting Locations Of The Game Of Thrones
The rock of Gastelugache in Biscay is an island connected to the mainland by a man-made bridge, which passes into a staircase of 241 steps. At the top of the rock is the chapel of John the Baptist, built in the 10th century (locals believe that John once fought with the devil on this rock). They say that if you ring the bell three times on the chapel, then any wish will come true. Well, at least, for this you have to be obviously lucky because the chapel is almost always closed. But this place was especially famous as one of the shooting locations of the Game of Thrones: Gastelugache “played” the Dragon Stone. After that, the flow of tourists has almost doubled, so the Basques are even seriously concerned about the safety of the bridge
