Description

An inland beach with no direct sea access, 100 metres from the coast. Water arrives beneath the cliffs through a karst cave system, creating a small fine-sand beach fed by the Cantabrian Sea but completely surrounded by green meadow. Declared a Natural Monument, Gulpiyuri is a geological rarity that seems from a fairy tale.
