| Geology The coastal strip located in the western part of Gipuzkoa's coast, between the villages of Deba and Zumaia, covers around 8 kilometres of cliffs. In this spot mountains descend abruptly to the sea forming one of the most spectacular natural areas in the Basque Country. Besides, this strip includes elements of geological and geomorphological value with an internationally recognised prestige, as well as the richest and most complex marine ecosystem in the entire Basque coast. All these natural values have had an excellent conservation due to the difficult access to the area.
Flora and fauna In addition to the aforementioned geological and geomorphological interest, the tidal platform houses the richest and most complex ecosystem of the Basque coast. Its pools are real natural aquariums with over 200 species of flora and fauna. Thus, countless species of plankton communities, benthos, algae, fish, crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms are exposed, especially when the tide is low. A real explosion of biodiversity, colours and living shapes.
