Getaria is a small fishing town in Guipuzcoa, on the coast between Zarauz to the east and Zumaia to the west. The town is dominated by a rocky promontory, nicknamed El Raton, or mouse. It has an attractive harbour, an interesting church and several restaurants and bars serving excellent fish and seafood.
Fresh grilled fish and a fine harbour view from the terrace. Ideally washed down with a glass of the local Txakoli wine. Booking advised at weekends.
Getaria lies on the N634 coast road between Zumaia and Zarautz. There are two fee-paying car parks: one on the western approach from Zumaia, the other close to the fishing port on the Calle de Portua.
