Daenerys Targaryen was here. A view fit for a queen
This ancient stone footbridge connects the tiny island of Gaztelugatxe to the mainland of northern Spain in Basque Country. Two hundred and forty-one steps lead up to a small Basque church, dating from the 10th century. But we're not here for the stunning view alone. This location added some real-life majesty to last season's Game of Thrones TV series, when it stood in for the mythical Dragonstone. It’s the spot where – spoiler alert if you’re lagging behind – Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow are plotting how to defeat the Night King and his swarming army of the dead. Though Daenerys is also keeping her eye on a point south – the Iron Throne. Will she succeed? We’ll just have to watch.
