From the Basque Country World / Places

Zarautz

Zarautz combines an Atlantic beach and surfing with a historic centre and dune habitat. It suits a seaside day with several different walks, rather than a visit confined to the sand.

Why go

The seafront holds traces of Zarautz's history as an aristocratic holiday resort, while the surf gives the beach a more active character. Narros Palace connects those two identities at the shore. Continue east for Iñurritza's dunes, or turn into the centre for churches and the stone tower of Torre Luzea.

What to look for

  • Narros Palace stands beside the beach, recalling the town's royal summer visitors.
  • Iñurritza's dunes and boardwalk border a habitat for birds.
  • Santa María la Real and Torre Luzea punctuate the historic centre.

Useful to know

  • Link the promenade with Iñurritza at its eastern end for a beach-and-nature walk.
  • Add the historic centre if the surf or wind makes a long beach stay less appealing.
