Zarautz

The landscape around Zarautz is a low coastal plain between green Basque hills and the Bay of Biscay, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town spreads behind Zarautz Beach, a long Atlantic strand whose waves have made it an important surfing centre on Spain’s northern coast. Its compact centre preserves older Basque architecture, including Torre Luzea, a medieval tower house, while the seafront keeps daily life closely linked to the beach. Vineyards on the surrounding coastal slopes belong to the Getariako Txakolina wine area, known for its lightly sparkling Basque txakoli.
