Guipuzcoa is a small coastal province in the Basque Country in Northern Spain. It is a wild and beautiful province that offers much variety to those who are looking to buy Spanish property in this area. Mountains, valleys, streams and rivers all lead down from the southern part of the province to the beautiful sands that lie along the Biscay Coast. If you're looking for a villa in Spain that is surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of nature, Guipuzcoa is the place to be.
San Sebastian (Donostia-San Sebastian) is the capital of the province. This is a prestigious coastal city where many wealthy Spaniards come on their holidays. It has one of the best stretches of fine sandy beach in Northern Spain, and is packed full of quality restaurants where tourists and residents can sample some of the best cuisine in Spain.
Two languages are spoken in Guipuzcoa - Spanish and Basque. The province has many traditions and beliefs unique to the Basque culture, all of which are lavishly celebrated through festivities, fiestas and parades. Around the province too there are many architectural wonders to take in, all of which give a sense of depth and mysteriousness to the origins of this ancient land.
As you would expect in a land with such contrasting landscapes, there is enormous variety in Guipuzcoa property available to purchase. In the town of Onati, prospective Spanish property buyers will find Renaissance style homes in a beautiful green valley offering dramatic views of the mountains. On the coast, the seaside town of Zumaia could be the perfect spot in which to find Guipuzcoa property overlooking a quiet beach. Alternatively, if you want a slice of city life, San Sebastian with its luxury beachfront apartments, could be the destination of choice.
