The City:

It stands in the middle of the Llanada Alavesa, on the road that joins Madrid to the rest of Europe, via the N-1 highway. The city has always been a major stopping place on this important communications route and has acted like a bridge between Europe and the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. The city is less than an hour from Bilbao, one hour from Pamplona, two hours from Santander, three hours from Zaragoza and less than four hours from Madrid.

The medieval quarter, declared a national monument in 1987, is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved of its kind in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. Moreover, the city contains fine examples of a number of architectural styles, ranging from the Gothic to the Neoclassic.
