TBC17 - Zumaia (Basque Country)

Description

This lovely hotel and spa, built on the site of a small palace, is situated in a stunning location along the Basque coast, on a cliff overlooking the Itzurun beach in Zumaia.  According to the National Geographic, the quality of the seabed in this area is one of the best in Europe. 

The hotel features 28 en-suite bedrooms, 14 of them with terrace and sea view.  The rooms are simply decorated but very comfortable.

Facilities include a fully equipped  Thalasotherapy centre with thermal seawater pool, jacuzzi and saunas. A variety of  personal treatments and massages are available. 

The hotel also has a very good restaurant with special menus available.  Being surrounded by glass the restaurant affords a splendid panoramic view of the sea and coastline.

This is an ideal location to unwind for a few days and it is also a good base to tour from.  The village of Zumaia has many good bars and restaurants.  There is also a pleasant promenade to stroll in the evening. Nearby are spectacular coastal drives and sandy beaches.  A regular scenic boat trip departs from Zumaia and visits various locations along the coast.  The fine city of San Sebastian is also only a short drive away, as is the city of Bilbao.

Additional information

One of the best ways of touring its districts and approaching its culture is through the cuisine. Basque cookery has international prestige thanks to its raw materials and the skill of its cooks, who have both traditional and imaginative repertoires. It must be said that some of the most renowned restaurants in Spain are in San Sebastián. Recipes made with vegetables, fish and shellfish must always be accompanied by chacolí from Guetaria/Guetariako Txakolina, with its own Denomination of Origin.

The province of Guipúzcoa satisfies the tastes of any traveller, offering a long coastline of excellent beaches and fishing villages, while inland there are natural areas where you can find important historic towns. Going along the coast from France towards Vizcaya you will have the chance to visit the historic centre of Hondarribia/Fuenterrabia, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument, and to stay in its Parador de TurismoOther towns that combine interesting monuments with extensive beaches are Zarautz, Getaria, Deba and Mutriku.

Rivers and valleys lead you inland. Following the course of the Oria, the historic towns of Tolosa, Ordizia and Lazkao preserve important legacies of monuments. The Urola valley has the old town and spa of Cestona/Zestoa, the medieval streets of Azpeitia and the Sanctuary of San Ignacio de Loyola, a Baroque site that is the centre of Basque religious life. Bergara, one of the most smartest towns in Guipúzcoa, and the lovely houses of Elgeta unfold along the Deba valley.

In addition to this wealth of monuments, this Basque province has a natural heritage which is perfect for practising many low environmental impact sports. The Aitzkorri, Aralar, Aiako-Harria and Pagoeta natural parks also show us the quality of their ecosystems.
