Urola Kosta

The Biosphere Certified label is awarded after verifying that sustainable practices are being implemented correctly. This is a guarantee that the organisation is complying with the commitments it has made.

Urola Kosta has many attractions spread over 5 municipalities (Aia, Getaria, Orio, Zarautz and Zumaia), which make this region one of the most attractive enclaves of Euskadi, combining its diverse natural resources: land and sea.

Museums, txakoli wineries, grills and their embers, \\\"pintxos\\\", restaurants that combine tradition and vanguard, trails and natural parks, nautical and sports activities, beaches, surfing, thematic and cultural routes, golf, spas and thalassotherapies, accommodation, local commerce and markets, make up a very complete offer of recognized quality. The use of the Basque language and its maritime heritage also constitute an intangible identity resource.

All this from a firm commitment to sustainability by the 5 municipalities of 1 unique destination.
