Vitoria-Gasteiz

Tucked into the Alava Plain, Vitoria-Gasteiz is a place whose character is shaped by its broad inland setting between the Basque mountains and the Ebro basin. The capital of the Basque Country is known for a medieval old quarter built on a hill, with streets forming its distinctive almond-shaped plan. The Gothic Cathedral of Santa María rises at its summit, while Plaza de la Virgen Blanca remains a key civic gathering place. Beyond the centre, the city’s Green Belt connects parks and wetlands, including Salburua on the urban edge. See how Vitoria-Gasteiz fits within the wider Basque Country by browsing webcams nearby.
