Living here
Living in Zarautz by the month
Zarautz doesn't switch off when summer ends. From September to June, the longest beach in the Basque Country — two and a half kilometres of sand — is where everyday life happens for the people who live here: runners on the seafront, surfers heading into the water whatever the month, and locals doing their shopping at the old-town market. Living in Zarautz for a few months means becoming part of that routine. Local life carries on all year round, with shops open, café terraces catching the winter sun and the views from the Santa Bárbara chapel almost all to yourself.
Getting around is easy. The Euskotren links Zarautz with Donostia-San Sebastián in just over half an hour, and in the other direction with Zumaia and on towards Bilbao, so you can work in the city without relying on a car. If you'd rather drive, the AP-8 and the N-634 connect the town to the rest of the coast. For day-to-day life, everything is close at hand: the market, local shops and a coastal path you can walk all the way to Getaria, around four kilometres away, with a stop for a glass of txakoli.
So who does a monthly rental here suit? Remote workers who want to close their laptop with the sea right in front of them. Professionals posted to Gipuzkoa for a few months. Anyone between homes or mid-renovation who needs a furnished place, ready to move straight into. And surfers and sportspeople looking to spend a season right by the waves. If you can picture yourself here, take a look at our apartments in Zarautz and tell us your dates on the booking page — we'll sort out the rest.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions about Zarautz
Is Zarautz worth it outside the summer?

How do I get to San Sebastián from Zarautz?
By Euskotren, in just over half an hour, without needing a car. And in the other direction, the same train takes you to Zumaia and towards Bilbao.
