We live in Vitoria-Gasteiz, in northern Spain. It is a modern duplex which we are sure you will like. In the lower floor there is one bathroom and the three bedrooms. Another bathroom, kitchen and a huge living room are located in the upper floor. We spend most of our time in the living room with great views on the hills and forests south of Vitoria.

The flat is in the outskirts of the town. For us the location is great because there are many parks and fields nearby and it just takes around 15 minutes to walk to the city center.

About our region:
Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital of the Basque Country. It is a rather small town, with approximately 250k people living here, so sometimes it feels a bit like a village and you can reach any point by bike.

The region around Vitoria is different to what comes to mind when one thinks of Spain. The Basque Country is known for its amazing mountains and hiking routes (Selva de Irati, Urkiola, Parque de Gorbeia, etc.), tasty food and a stunning coast line (Mutriku, Bermeo, Hondarribia, Zarautz and a long etc.). If you are a GoT fan you might want to know that Dragonstone is indeed here as well ?

Of course, the region is also known for it's own culture, history and language. Basque people (not us because we are not from here), take pride in all of these and promote it whenever they can.

We think Vitoria is a good place for somebody who prefers a town rather than a metropolis like Barcelona or Madrid, to be able to move by bike or bus everywhere, enjoys hiking, warm weather compared to Central Europe but not too warm, likes practicing sports (impressive offer of sport activities organised by the local government) and likes to go to the beach but doesn't need to go there everyday (during the warmer season there is a bus which goes each weekend day to a different beach/coastal village but it is a one or two hour drive).
