There are plenty of reasons that Vitoria was named European Green Capital in 2012. Its environmental policies and the commitment of its inhabitants have become an example of recycling, water consumption, air quality and waste management, among others.
Her Green Belt is the lung of the city, a set of parks surrounding the city made up of several enclaves of high ecological and landscape value. A bike ride will allow you to enjoy its rivers, wetlands, forests, grasslands and its extensive wildlife which includes many species of birds, weasels, hares, deer and foxes.
But Vitoria offers much more than nature, its historical center was declared Monumental Complex in 1997 and retains perfectly its beautiful medieval layout. A trip in time through their civil buildings, palaces, towers, houses, temples, plazas, churches and of course the spectacular Cathedral of Santa Maria.
