According to the history of Zarautz, when a whale approached the coast, a person lighted on a fire in the watchtower hill called Talai Mendi to warn fishermen who rushed out to fish it with their boats and harpoons. Today few whales can be sighted but we have this beautiful hill from which to enjoy the color of the sea and the mountains as the ancient inhabitants of Zarautz did.

And it is in that place where it is located, since 1964, the Gran Camping Zarautz.
