Looks like a Spanish island with its own “great wall”

To climb to the top of the island, you need to go a step 241.

In Spain, in the Basque Country on the Bay of Biscay coast is a small island of Gaztelugatxe. Translated from Basque, its name means “castle rock”, and this is the explanation.

On the highest point of the island is a small chapel called San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, built by the knights Templar in the 10th century.

But the main highlight of the island Gaztelugatxe not in the chapel, and in the long staircase that leads to it. It begins in front of the bunk bridge (it connects the island with the land) and stretches to the top of the cliff to the chapel.
