Torreón de Zarautz

We have reached the highest point of this tour where we will find one of Zarautz’s most famous symbols: the turret. Do you remember that we are on the grounds of the estate belonging to the Count of Villapadierna? Well, this would be the viewpoint they built in 1913 to enjoy the leisure and exceptional views.

The architectural uniqueness of this building lies in the fact that it was one of the first reinforced concrete constructions of Gipuzkoa. Although over the years it suffered a great deterioration, in 2020 it was the subject of a comprehensive restoration.

It is worth climbing the turret, resting, enjoying the views, the fresh air and the feeling of tranquility, whenever there are few people. Do the 10 white columns in this neoclassical semicircle don't make you feel like you're in a scene of What the wind took away?

After going down the road, we will turn right to close the circular route.
