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

Located on a small plain in the Gipuzkoa region and opening onto the sea, Zarautz is a modern and attractive tourist town. Its beach is the longest on the southern Basque coast and ends, on its eastern side, in a large protected dune area.

From its past, it retains vestiges that allow for an interesting journey through the town's art and history. Its tradition as a tourist destination, as a seat of royalty and aristocracy during the 19th and 20th centuries, still visible in the architecture of the small palaces and manor houses, is another defining characteristic of Zarautz.

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