The flysch in Zumaia were formed over a period of 100 million years. About 50 million years ago, these sediments were exposed during a collision between the Iberian and European tectonic plates.

Hiking

If you want to do most of the way along the seashore seeing the Flysch, crabs and starfish, you must calculate the tides well so that when you reach the cove in Algorri, and other sections of the way, you will have time to pass without get wet Highly recommended place any time of the year, especially during spring tides.

A thin black layer of rock was caused by a meteorite impact about 66 million years ago. This impact probably also caused the extinction of Dinosaurs.
