Zarautz it's a tourist resort in the Basque Country, 20 km. from Gipuzkoa province's capital city Donostia-San Sebastián, with a population of 22.000 (around 50.000 people in summer).

The beach has 2,5 km. long and the marina is located in Getaria (a fishermans' town, 3 km. from Zarautz). Around 300-500 m. of the beach, at the finish of it, it's a nudist beach, near the golf field.

The city was founded in year 1237 but majority of the buildings are from XX. century. Tallest buildings were built during 1960-1970 when a lot of immigrants came to the city and there was a "tourist boom".
