Getaría Lighthouse Explanation: Iturregi is situated 2 kilometers away from Getaria, a small fishing village of the Basque coast, located 20 kilometers from San Sebastián and 60 kilometers from Bilbao. Surrounded by vineyards with breathtaking views of the Getaria lighthouse (known as “Ratón de Getaria”) and the Basque coast, Iturregi offers guests a space full of peace and tranquillity in a natural environment. Think you could probably also use it in the original Spanish form as well. Reference: http://www.hotelguide.com/destination/europe/kingdom_of_spai... |
