Zarautz Tourist Office An authentic and attractive Basque town between mountains and sea

Located on a small plain in the Gipuzkoa region and open to the sea, Zarautz is a modern and attractive tourist town. Its beach is the longest on the coast of the southern Basque Country and ends, on its eastern slope, in a large dune area that serves as a natural habitat for numerous species of local flora and fauna.

Zarautz enjoys a privileged landscape and natural environment thanks to its location between the mountain scattered with farmhouses and the sea. Its past preserves interesting testimonies that allow for an interesting journey through the art and history of the city. Its tourist tradition , as a seat of royalty and aristocracy during the 19th century, still visible in the architecture of the small palaces and stately homes, is another sign of Zarautz's identity.

All this makes Zarautz a city with an authentic and pleasant atmosphere, a symbol of quality of life that its inhabitants willingly share with visitors.
