Kitesurfing at Zarautz

Zarautz has the longest beach in the Basque Country, a broad two-kilometre stretch of sand famous as a surfing town near San Sebastián. North-westerly to south-westerly winds blow cross-onshore over reliable Atlantic swell, giving chop and waves that suit intermediate riders. The long beach and lively resort make it one of the region's most accessible spots.
