The treasures of La Galea - Geological route
Along this route we will see the characteristics and traces that human beings leave in the layers of the planet on a route from La Galea to Tunelboca, in one of the most important coastal points of the Flysch Bizkaia.
Geological route along the cliffs of La Galea
Come and discover the coast of Getxo on a walk that starts from the Fort of La Galea, an eighteenth-century defensive fortification, to the area of Tunelboca.
In Punta Galea you will find a large fold that bends all the strata that form the cliffs of La Galea, giving curious shapes in the landscape.
On the beach of Tunelboca you can see the layers of the flysch, which remind us of the pages of a book that tells us the history of the Earth. In addition, we will also be able to meet the nummulites, coin-shaped fossils that tell us about past climate changes.
A fascinating plan to discover the coast of Getxo!
