Church of San Salvador (Getaria)

Getaria is a town on the Urola coast, in the province of Gipuzkoa, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country, in northern Spain. It borders Zarautz to the east and Zumaia to the west. Getaria is well known for being the hometown of Juan Sebastián Elcano: a sailor famous for being the first to circumnavigate the world. He was the captain of the Nao Victoria, the only ship in Magellan's ill-fated fleet to complete the voyage. Today, Getaria is also famous for its restaurants that serve grilled fish and white wine with a Denomination of Origin somewhere in the Getariako Txakolina near the town. The town is also home to the Cristobal Balenciaga Museum. In May 2012, a two-man team from Getaria won Google's 'Model Your Town' competition by creating a complete 3D representation of their home town.

Txakoli de Getaria - Getariako Txakolina is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) (Basque: Jatorri Deitura Babestua) for wines, located around the towns of Getaria and Zarautz, small fishing towns on the coast of the Bay of Biscay, in the province of Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Spain. A small amount of grapes are also grown around the town of Aia. Txakoli is a white wine that can be naturally sparkling, and is traditionally served poured from a height into the glass.

San Anton (known also as Getaria's mouse because of its form), is the mountain and half-island located off the coast of Getaria, Gipuzkoa, Spain. San Anton is attached to the mainland by a breakwater. It has an abrupt slope, and is one of the most popular places of Basque Country. It is used principally for recreation by the local population. The mountain has a natural park. The top of the mountainside is flatter, and it is decorated by trees. Its precipice is formed with rocks, specially with one called Armeria euskadiensis. San Anton mountain takes its name from an ancient hermitage, which was located near the actual lighthouse before it was destroyed by the French in the first half of 19th century. It was a privileged vantage point to see whales, whose capture was one of the jobs of people from this town. This island was intentionally attached to the port in the 15th century. The breakwater was given the name of "The Passage" in order to complete the construction of a small harbor for the mountain-island, replacing the old rocky ridge that had been destroyed by a storm. Fortifications, an 1863 lighthouse and farmhouses like Abeta, Agoteaundi and Gure ametsa decorate San Anton.

The Battle of Getaria was fought on 22 August 1638 during the Franco-Spanish War (1635–59), at Getaria, in northern Spain. A French naval force commanded by Henri de Sourdis attacked and destroyed a Spanish squadron under Lope de Hoces, who survived but was killed at the Battle of the Downs in 1639. The French fleet was being used to support the siege of Fuenterrabía, a vital Spanish port. By early August, the blockade meant the town was close to starvation. To provide time for a relief force to reach the defenders, de Hoces was ordered to draw their ships away; despite the near total destruction of his force, the siege was lifted in September 1638. Although ultimately Getaria had little strategic impact, it was the first significant victory for the newly formed French Navy; Cardinal Richelieu viewed it as vindication of the decision taken in 1624 to invest large sums in its expansion.

The 1980 Zarautz attack was a mass shooting gun attack by the Basque separatist organisation ETA which occurred on 3 November 1980 in the Basque town of Zarautz in Gipuzkoa. The targets were several off duty civil guards belonging to the traffic department, who were drinking in a bar in the town. The attack was the second deadliest of 1980, the year when ETA killed more people than any other.
