A Day of Wishing Part 2
After we left Bilbao, we drove to the area of Gaztelugatxe for a hike that my mom read about in Bon Appetit magazine, which, coincidentally, ended with a wish. We arrived at Gaztelugatxe, and began the walk downhill towards an island in the water with an abandoned monastery on it. A man made bridge with 200 odd stairs leads up to it, and makes for quite a view. Here are some pictures:
At the top there was a bell with a long rope hanging in front of the doors of the monastery, which, according to the locals, you ring 13 times and make a wish.
I did, and then made my way back up the trail, and back home.
