The cliff on which the Galleries stand is an open book spanning millions of years. Its layers, folds and rock formations tell the geological story of the Basque coast, revealing how this landscape has been shaped over time.
At Punta Begoña, geology is more than just part of the landscape: it is also a valuable educational resource. Landscape tours and school programmes offer a first-hand look at processes such as coastal erosion, sandstone formation and the dynamics of the Bay of Biscay.
The landscape thus becomes an open-air classroom, where science and nature come together.
