EXPLORING ANCIENT HERMITAGE FROM GAME OF THRONES | GAZTELUGATXE, SPAIN
Vložit

- I love having my expectations blown away. I had seen some photos of Gaztelugatxe and couldn't believe something like this could be built. A tiny stone church on the top of an island mountain, with a zigzagging bridge connecting it to the northern coast of Spain. It seemed like a scene from a movie... or maybe season 7 episode 4 of an HBO hit series called Game of Thrones. Yeah, maybe more like that. DRAGONSTONE!
Gaztelugatxe is an islet (small island) on the coast of the Spanish province of Biscay in Basque Country. At it's peak, there is a hermitage called San Juan de Gaztelugatxe which was build to honour John the Baptist. This church is 1000 years old, and with its winding staircase, makes you feel you're approaching a medieval castle. Exploring it was a highlight of my travel life. We arrived to see an amazing sunrise beginning to peek over the coast. We had it to ourselves at this time, and recommend you visit then too.
Mariannela and I made this travel vlog earlier this year during our 1 month road trip through northern Spain. We grabbed a camper van from Indie Campers, and spent the majority of our time in Basque Country, and all the videos we made are a bit of a different style as the others. We also had a lot of fun with the MAVIC PRO drone from DJI. Some of the best views I've seen yet. This place was unbelievable.
Also, I came across a lot of great videos of Basque Country through my friends Alex and Marko Ayling from the Vagabrothers. Make sure to check them out as well.
If you're a fan of urbex or exploring abandoned places, this needs to be on your bucket list.

Hahaha it made us laugh!
Amazing place. Nice drone shots.
What a beautiful little island. Such a shame I didn't know about it before, as I just passed the area between Bilbao and San Sebastian. Mike, make sure while you are in the País Vasco to taste their wine, Txakoli! It's delicious.
I wish I could be able to do what you do. Because is so amazing! And I'm so glad that you share it with the world. BTW I love your voice and your accent in Spanish is the best
Hahaha Canadian Spanish accent
Just watched the episode of Game Of thrones with this in it!
Bit of CGI eh?
Always love your videos !

You should, coz its so fulfilling when u reached the top. Bcoz thats how i felt when i was there.

Thank you for bringing me great
How long would you say the entire walk takes (one-way)?
Northern Spain is so underrated and I don't know why because is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Los adoro Mike
My placeeee 😱💪💪
Imagine its 06:00 on a sunday and you have to hike that mountain to get to church 😲
Another excellent video. And I will say it, I was getting nervous that you were on vacation and not uploading.which you do deserve, anyway, your girl is very beautiful. "She don't need no stinkin' makeup." Ha LOL. Glad you had time to upload a new vid. Adios. Kick the Grind.
+Mike L Cheers man. The best is yet to come! Vacation is always filming 😂
woow, esa toma del minuto 5:28, no me atrevería levantar tanto el dron xD
Oh My . Shes adorable. I want to buy her drinks and listen to her stories.
You said it well! Gastelugatxe. The tx in basque is the ch sound in Spanish. For example: Ibarretxe vs Ibareche ; Etxeberria vs Echeverría
No "hizo 3 pasos" hizo 3 paradas 😅 y en cada uno de esos lugares dejó una huella.
Missed you bud
Better in sumer, in winter sometimes raining, strong winds and waves like castles
Hope you got some dragonglass while there...
+Peter Chandra We looked so hard....
I wonder when is the best period to visit for less rainy days for curly frizzy avoiding hair days!! lol
Can somebody tell them the TX in Euskera Batua sound like a CHE in spanish? PLEASE!!!!!
😍😍😍nice place...
Ohh i been there, so amazing place ♥️♥️♥️
😁👏
She is so cute and I wish I knew what she said about the first foot print. What a beautiful place. She has to like you to get up with only four hours of sleep, I'd have to hit you hahaha just joking.
It's all translated in the CC. You can click the button!
Kateri Burnett Thank youuuuu!!!! 😍🙏🏽🤗 Mike shares with me the most amazing adventures, gotta love him!!! ❤️
VISIT TOLANTONGO IN HIDALGO
Las grutas?
Si! :)
Very happy to be your friend
Lies! Deception! Looks nothing like Dragonstone!! where's the giant castle?????
CGI.... 😮
Als die Aufzeichnung des Films fertig war, demontierten sie die ganze Anlage. Grüße aus dem Baskenland.
Hey guys I'm planning on going there in April, but is this place open for anyone? I've never been to a filming location before but what I meant is can anyone go there?
Yes, anyone can go, and it was free!
Name the Game of Thrones episode which justifies the title of your video. Quebec and Nova Scotia have locations which are worthy of the epitaph.
funny Girlfriend my friend
You put the camera a little to close to the poopoo toob.
Hahahaha luckily it didn't smell bad
Mike Corey you are an inspiration, great work, beautiful content! Maybe one day I'll take your advice and "kick the grind" hopefully sooner then later! Stay humble!

Who said Europeans are civilized, That toilet is polluting the whole ocean or river. How can they even think of building that type of ridiculous toilet...
Que linda está muchacha, :de donde es ella.
Mexico
The only rest room in aaaaaaall Dragonstone is a hole in the ground that goes to the sea...
Literally your shit falls down the cliff.
