The small town of Zarautz, situated on the Spanish Basque coast, is mainly known for one thing – its 2.5 km long beach. This massive stretch of sand, known as “the queen of the beaches,” has been attracting beachgoers since the 19th century when Queen Isabella II of Spain chose Zarautz as her summer getaway destination. Soon after, many aristocrats followed and they built their mansions along the beach. Most of these palatial buildings have since been taken down to make way for newer and larger apartment buildings and hotels and in the 1970’s and 80’s the town transitioned into becoming a more affordable tourist destination.
