Geo-park on the Basque Coast
The Flysch Route takes place in the Basque Coast Geopark, from the sea the impressive Flysch cliffs can be observed and allow us to be witness of more than 60 million years of geological history.
Experience a peaceful sailing journey along the coastline from Zumaia to Mutriku passing by Deba. We will unveil the secrets of one of the most singular geological formation in the world; moreover, greatest events as the dinosaur extinction could be recognised in the grooves of the rock.
A professional assistant will explain the highlights about traditions and lifestyle of this coastal area which are indeed strongly linked to the sea. This singular culture encloses customs as shipbuilding in Zumaia, commerce in Deba and the ancient whales hunting in Mutriku.
We will also get off in Mutriku, a village with a noticeable marine character where we will take a break of 45 minutes and have the opportunity to visit the port as well as the old town which has been declared as a monumental set.
