Ladder Via Crucis
Bermeo, Basque Country, Spain


This endless row of stairs are attached to the rock coast where a small church dating from the tenth century stands, and seems to be of Templar.


To reach the hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe you have to climb 231 steps.  There are gaps in the steps that are said to be the footsteps of St. John himself, each footstep has a different healing power. 

For example, you have to put your feet in them as a solution to cure corns; or you can leave hats, scarves or chapelas to cure a headache.
