Then a stroll down the promenade along the “Playa de la Concha”, followed by a visit to the aquarium in the fishermen's harbour - with a large variety of species - are on the program. After that the harbour fortress “Monte Urgull” awaits a visit. Truculently standing on a peninsula in front of the “Oyster-Bay” (La Concha) and crowned with a monumental white statue of Christ.

And a gothic cathedral which you will visit and be able to get to know better. Vitoria's lively pedestrian area full of original eyecatchers will quickly bring you back to the present from your trip to the past. After that you can sit back and relax under one of the trees in the time-honoured city park and watch the colourful hustle and bustle of the market people. Leaving the city you will be greeted by a charming landscape full of enormous reservoirs, vertical cliffs and dense forests. The legendary and mystical natural park “Urkiola” will enchant you. Eagles circle in solitary heights, high overlooking points enable magnificent views into the mountains and on the horizon the faint idea of the ocean starts to shimmer.
