The txotx ritual with sea views
Zarautz
The txotx experience is one of the Basque Country’s most time-honoured traditions, and in Zarautz it is enjoyed against the backdrop of the Cantabrian Sea. Whether you’re in a cider house or a local grill restaurant, you will be able to taste cider that comes straight from the kupela, while enjoying local dishes in a lively atmosphere.
More than just a drink, cider is an essential part of the Basque identity. Prepared with care and in keeping with tradition, you will enjoy recovered local varieties and high-quality, locally-sourced produce.
So, visiting a cider house in Zarautz is an opportunity to taste, share and be part of a centuries-old tradition, where every sip reflects the culture and flavour of the north of Spain.
