Dinosaur footprints

Sign at Playa de la Griega

On the north coast of Spain you get to visit a real treat – Dinosaur footprints!
Following the sign at Playa de la Griega you walk along the path, trees one side, beach the other. You get to the viewing point, and looking down you see the dinosaur footprints or ichnites.
They have a handy sign to show you what you’re looking at, in all honesty, unless you’re an expert in the field, you probably need this, rather than just guessing which large depressions in the rock you’re meant to be looking at. It’s still exciting to think you’re treading where a giant dino trod millions of years ago.
Inland a small way is the Jurassic museum, where you can find out all about the footprints and your favourite dinosaurs.
See if you can spot the live dinosaur hiding out in the museum!
