<p>Nestled in Spain's Basque Country,
Gaztelugatxe stands as a real-life counterpart to Game of Thrones' iconic Dragonstone. Connected to the mainland by a slender man-made path, this islet harbors a small chapel dedicated to
John the Baptist. Ascending the narrow stone bridge, comprised of 231 zig-zagging steps, visitors reach the chapel with the promise of wish fulfillment by ringing the bell three times. With origins dating back to the ninth century, Gaztelugatxe has weathered destruction, reconstruction, and diverse purposes, from a convent to a place of imprisonment during the
Spanish Inquisition.</p>
