Getaria is overrun with tourists in August, it can be difficult to find a place to eat without a reservation. In these socially distant times you will struggle to avoid a crowd. This place is just outside the tourist center of town and is large and modern. There is a huge covered patio with magnificent views of the ocean. It's not too busy or crowded. We enjoyed a simple lunch of peppers, papas bravas, clams, and dessert, washed down with txacoli. This isn't one of the great gourmet restaurants of Getaria but the food is tasty and affordable.
Everyone raves about the Michelin-starred Restaurant Elkano in Getaria, but lucky for us, it was closed the night we were there, and we stumbled upon this gem instead. For my money, this was an exceptional experience, dining al fresco on amazing pinxtos and fresh fish dishes, while overlooking the ocean and the setting sun. Go whether you're deliberately heading to Getaria or just to get away from the madness of San Sebastian's pintxo bars (not knocking them, but the crowds can be a bit much).
Right on water front, you can watch the waves come crashing onto the rocks. Big surges crash over sea wall. Great to watch sunsets as well. Drinks unbelievably cheap. Local wine and beer served.
