City Breaks in the Basque Country

As you wander around VitoriaGasteiz's Old Quarter, you will notice that it sits on the slope of the hill on which they traced out the city's streets that today are so full of life. Culture, shopping, bars and restaurants comfortably take their place in a town where people still chat from one balcony to another and where children still play in the streets, just as they have always done

The mural route

IDEA

The Almendra Medieval, or the Medieval 'Almond' as the Old Quarter is known, brings together history and social innovation, as can be seen by the enormous murals that artists have painted on the façades and walls. The many colours revitalise and decorate the image of the oldest face of VitoriaGasteiz. The work of artists, art students, teams equipped with paintbrushes and enthusiatic neighbours has turned this into a world renowned artistic tour! Open your eyes wide and take in all the creative images that have breathed life into the old walls. They are a true reflection of the social and cultural commitment of the painted city of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
