Algorri Flysch

Highlight • Natural Monument

Depending on the tide, the section at sea level is either accessible, not accessible, or only accessible to a limited extent. But in any case, it's extremely worthwhile.

Flysch of Itzurun Beach

Highlight • Natural Monument

In the 8 kilometers that separate Deba from Zumaia we find all kinds of rock folds that are millions of years old. They are known as "Zumaia flysch", a formation nestled in the cliffs of Itzurun of great geological value.
