Presentazione generale
Vitoria-Gasteiz and Rioja Alavesa
Basque green capital, medieval center, green ring, wine villages and contemporary bodegas towards Rioja Alavesa.
To understand what Vitoria-Gasteiz and Rioja Alavesa are, you should look at Vitoria-Gasteiz, Santa María Cathedral of Vitoria and Vitoria Green Ring. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, the countryside, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: reservations recommended in the bodegas and less seaside than the Basque coast. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Place
Vitoria-Gasteiz
Vitoria-Gasteiz is perceived by its urban alignments, its transitions from place to place and the way in which the buildings orientate the pace. The centre offers a legible geometry when it is passed without haste, moving from commercial areas to more heritage areas. The end-of-day lights accentuate the volumes of the facades.
Heritage
Cathedral of Santa María de Vitoria
The Cathedral of Santa María de Vitoria is understood by a progressive path: nave, lateral light, return of volumes, then sculpted details that are gradually discovered. The place changes tone as the movement moves, even without crossing the whole nave. A visit to less sharp hours gives a thinner shadow.
Place
Anneau vert de Vitoria
The Vitoria Green Ring transforms the urban route into a long breath: streams, plant alignments, and crossing points between neighborhoods. The real gain comes from the continuous rhythm, walk then pause, then resume. The outlook varies rapidly depending on the hour and it is precisely this variation which gives the essentials.
Place
Laguardia
Laguardia stands on a hill above the vineyards of the Rioja Alavessa, protected by its walls and crossing narrow streets. Underground cellars, churches and views to the vineyards give a very compact visit, especially beautiful when the light descends on the hills.
