Zumaia

Zumaia is a town located in the province of Guipúzcoa, in the Basque Country region of Spain. It is known for its stunning coastal scenery, particularly Itzurun beach, which features unique flysch rock formations. Recently, Zumaia has been in the news for two distinct reasons. Firstly, the body of a woman was found on Itzurun beach, prompting an investigation by the Ertzaintza (Basque police). The circumstances surrounding her death are currently under investigation. Secondly, Zumaia's coastal landscapes, including a specific hermitage, gained recognition as filming locations for the popular HBO series 'Game of Thrones,' specifically used to depict Dragonstone, the Targaryen stronghold. This connection to the series has boosted tourism and highlighted the area's natural beauty and cultural significance.
