Gernika and San Juan Gaztelugatxe

Today we visited Gernika, a small city that was the center of Basque culture at the time of the civil war and thus bombed by Germans and Italians with the invitation from Franco.  This was the inspiration for Picasso's famous mural.  We visited the old tree where the Basques dealt with their old law system as well as a museum dedicated to peace.  We then went to one of Europe's most beautufull sites, Gaztelugatxe, to climb up the the hermitage, yet another Game of throne setting.
