We've seen this restaurant two years ago. But it was late afternoon and we already had lunch…read more Thought whenever we come back to Northern Spain we'll give it a try. Looked great and full with locals, a good sign. This year finally we managed it. Came to Zumaia especially for this Tapas Bar. It was busy, but after the first few plates we managed to get a table outside. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. There are full plates and menus. But we focussed on the delicious tapas and raciones. And there are plenty to choose from - and all divine. We had baked scallops, sea urchin, tapa with tuna and anchovies, fresh and crispy fried calamari, tapa with crab meat, tapa with sardines. And our favourite: hot Foie Gras. We've had four of them. A masterpiece with high quality Foie. A bunch of white wines. Fruity, fresh, crisp. And very fair - even low - priced. We ate a lot. Just couldn't stop. It was just all so tasty. A fantastic Tapas Bar. One of the very best there is. Yes, it's a busy place and takes a bit of luck and persistence to make your way through the crowds to order at the bar. But that's part of the experience. And well worth it. Definitely will be back here.

I imagined Getaria to be a sleepy quiet town. Wrong. The Txikiteo action-is strong here. Many…read moreplaces are packed on this strip. Getaka was one of the few to fit our large group. Part tiend, part bar, part pintxos joint. Good for sidra and snacks or bottles, quesos and jamon to go. Or just a quiet stop on the pintxos crawl

We booked the hotel and dinner package. The receptionist was a bit terse and befuddled, but we were…read moreable to check in without too much hassle. We received room 108, which is probably the best the hotel has to offer. There were two rather uncomfortable twin beds and no desk or place to work. But the private terrace was amazing and we took in the amazing expanse of the Zarautz bay before us. The restaurant served a "tasting menu". It wasn't a Michelin format so there were no matched wines. Three of the five dishes were world class or near. The starter salad and the dessert disappointed and were your average cafeteria fare. Service during dinner was excellent. All in all worth a try. A room refresh and better start and end to the meal would have earned a fifth star.
