Sit and Enjoy!

Vitoria is a city made for walking, to enjoy it while strolling around without rushing, without the stress of cars. You find places like Plaza Vieja, where you sense that Vitoria is depicted in the walls of the buildings that border this beautiful and unique space. We contemplate part of ancient Vitoria in the stairs that give way to Gasteiz, we observe the romantic Vitoria, with its houses with white windowed balconies, the strong Vitoria with the incredible statue commemorating ancient battles. We find modern Vitoria where the city widens. The gastronomy, the tapas, is found in the innumerable taverns, bars and terraces; the feeling of the city with the great atmosphere that this square has.

It’s an all inclusive, a beautiful recompilation of the Vitorias that await us. For me it is a unique place, full of life, history, art and culture, where suddenly a group of people start dancing to the sound of traditional music. It is a gathering place for locals, a welcoming place for those of us visiting from outside, and we feel a great warmth in this square. The hustle and bustle, the handshakes, kissing, kids running around, tourists, photographers, and the curious eyes, such as mine, that can’t stop looking all around. When you get there, sit down, observe, enjoy and feel the passion and elegance that this city transmits. I must admit, Vitoria made us fall in love with it!

A Lively Place

You could say that this square, also known as Plaza Vieja, is the nerve center of the beautiful city of Vitoria. Very, very old, the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca (White Virgin Square) dates to the middle of the 17th Century and still has the essence of the olden days, even though it has suffered infinite changes in order to adapt it to modern times.

Now, it is a place full of life, pedestrian, with lots of benches, bars with terraces, little fountains hidden in the floor. And everything is surrounded by ancient houses with impressive windowed balconies, and in its upper part, San Miguel Church, the statue of the virgin guards the entrance portico.

It’s located between the old part of town and the Plaza de España. This plaza, remodeled in 2007, evokes another time. Even though it has modernized, it seems as if time has stopped, especially for the context that surrounds the old streets, alleys that enter and exit, stairs, ancient shops… The renovations have taken into account the essence of the city and, especially, the functionality. They removed the green areas that existed and that when they filled with people for festivities, they ended up being destroyed. Now there is more space for the public, more open areas that allow open air activities. Moreover, they even have “flexible” gardens. Exactly in the middle of the plaza there is a monument dedicated to the battle of Vitoria. Around 7 or 8 pm, if the weather allows, it’s the best place to have a glass of wine or something else in one of its terraces. It is a place that, although quite busy, is very calm with only a few cars passing by. But, at nighttime (unless its weekend), it’s practically deserted, even though it’s still charming with the illumination they placed. You can have a nice dinner outside. Also, it is a place where many youngsters gather to skate or skateboard.

La plaza de la Virgen Blanca fue renovada hace unos años

Excellent

Con la nueva apariencia es un amplio lugar de encuentro para todos y todas las ciudadanas de la ciudad.

Bares y comercios la rodean y también se juntan en esta plaza algunas de las calles más importantes del centro.
