Jardin botanique d'Iturraran

The garden covers 25 hectares on the slopes of Iturraran hill, featuring mixed hardwood forest and a network of 5 kilometers of paths.

The initial plantations began in winter 1986 on pasture meadows surrounding an 18th-century farmhouse that now houses the Pagoeta Natural Park offices.

The garden name Iturraran stems from the Basque word iturri, meaning fountain, reflecting the local linguistic heritage of the Gipuzkoa region.

Located 25 kilometers from San Sebastian and 7 kilometers from Zarautz, the garden maintains regular visiting hours with guided tours available.

The collection includes 263 species of Gymnosperms and 300 species of Fagaceae, with numerous Quercus specimens gathered from Mexico and Central America.
