In 1976, events known as the March 3 massacre occurred in Vitoria-Gasteiz. In recent years, these terrible events that shook not only Vitoria but much of the state have been remembered more and more strongly. Worker mobilizations and society at large longed for better working conditions. The events occurred at five and 10 p.m. on March 3, 1976 when troops from the Miranda de Ebro Reserve Company and the Vitoria garrison of the Navy Police evicted from the church of San Francisco de Assisi in the Zaramaga neighborhood, a populous labor district located north of the city. 4,000 people on strike had gathered in assembly. Police threw tear gas into the church and fired live fire and rubber balls at people leaving the compound. Five people died and more than a hundred and fifty were injured. We will remember the victims and the wounded on a tour of the Zaramaga neighborhood. -
If you like to enjoy the countryside we propose a simple walking route through the okina-Saseta gorge. This round trip travels along the Ayuda River. Along the way we will find indications of the "GR-38: Wine and Fish Route". This trail links the Rioja Alavesa, with the Alavesa Mountain and the Cantabrian Sea, where the smugglers traveled in mules and marketed with fish, coal or wine. The Ayuda River, makes its way through the mountains of Vitoria with a south direction, forming a narrow valley between the towns of Okina and Sáseta. In these 5 and a half km of route the river presents small waterfalls and pools, running the path between trees at low altitude above it. The presence of travertine deposits and a varied forest of whining, oaks, and beech trees makes the road very entertaining. In times of rain and thaw the scenery is beautiful, but we recommend this road at any time of the year. -

The Sensory Routes are a service for the inclusion of the collective of blind and visually impaired in the culture and history of Vitoria-Gasteiz. The walking itinerary through the historic center adapts perfectly to the needs of this public where the visual context disappears and we reinforce the descriptive story. We want to "understand" the city through its history. The one that its buildings and the characters who inhabited it tell us. We support the route on information maps printed in The Braille System, panels in some parts of the city and models of the most representative buildings. We have the support of volunteers and technicians from the O.N.C.E who have advised us to perfect the route. -
Sensory Routes are a service for the inclusion of the collective of the blind and visually impaired in nature. The itinerary we offer adapts perfectly to the needs of this audience where the visual context disappears and perception comes into action through touch, smell and hearing. We reinforce the descriptive story on a tandem guided tour. The goal is to give people with different degrees of visual decrease the possibility to access the nearest nature through a support such as tandem. We want to "listen" to nature through the singing of birds, the smell of plants and the touch of the physical environment. We visited the Ataria Center, gateway to Salburua Park. We support the route on information maps printed in Braille System. We have the support of volunteers and technicians from the O.N.C.E who have advised us to perfect the route. -
"Doing cycling is a feeling that brings us closer to freedom." In Alava we have the opportunity to make a very safe route that transits through the green ring of Vitoria-Gasteiz, the old route of the vasco Navarro train track, the Ullibarri Gamboa reservoir and the Camino de Santiago. Pedaling along the Alavesa Llanada is the best way to enjoy an environment that will remain in your memory. Let yourself be guided by this endearing land where history, nature, agriculture and livestock shake hands. This 117 km adventure is designed for all types of audiences and we have divided it into two stages. -
You will discover the greenway of Vasco Navarro in one of its sections. In Guiartu we have divided the route into two: one part-time and one full-time. The greenways are a good way to get around by bike safely and in Alava we are lucky enough to have one that makes it easy to connect in a safe way. Another point to note is that these old railway paths run through rural environments and that makes the cyclist quickly connect with the environment. We are located in the Llanada Alavesa, crossing roads since time immemorial. It remains today and the Navarrese Basque helps us understand this with a north-south direction (Tramo I) and West-East (Tramo II). We on this route will follow the direction Bergara to the port of Arlaban. In the natural environment, the amarita oak tree, the riverside forests of the Zadorra River or the Ullibarri Gamboa reservoir stand out As for the cultural heritage stand out 5 farms of the Vasco Navarro (some private) and others that are kept stoicly; the Romanesque cover of the church of San Esteban Protomártir in Durana or that of Saint Martin in Luko. We invite you to enjoy this environment in the best way possible. Cycling -
On this route you will cross small rural villages of La Llanada surrounded by fields of potatoes, beets and cereals. On our right we see the Montes de Vitoria that follow parallel to the stretch that we travel and we reach 3 km to the site of Otazu, the work of the chief engineer of the construction of the railway, Alejandro Mendizábal. We continue pedaling to Aberasturi and Andollu where we take the 2 km branch that takes us to the Sanctuary of Stybaliz, jewel of the Romanesque and which houses the patron saint of Alava, the Virgin of Stybaliz (size of the XII century). We descend the road again and continue towards Trokoniz, Erenchun until we meet the Laminoria tunnel. Here we have no choice but to leave the greenway and ascend a steep mountain path (17%) to save the sunken tunnel in several sections. We have left behind the Llanada Alavesa and we are in the Alavesa Mountain at the point that divides the Montes de Vitoria and those of Iturrieta. We are surrounded by mountains. We descend to Maeztu where we taste a menu with local food. -
Vitoria-Gasteiz is the perfect set, its streets and buildings make the city an enviable set. Handia (the giant of Altzo) of the directors Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga awarded 10 goyas in 2018, the celebrated "The Silence of the White City" by Daniel Carpasoro and starring Javier Rey and Belén Rueda, the Gypsy King of Juanma Bajo Ulloa or "Vitoria, March 3, 1976" by Victor Cabaco. have been shot on our streets. On this route we want to link cinema to our passion for literature. Several are the books that speak of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Toti Martinez de Lecea describes the medieval city in his novel "The Street of the Jewish Quarter" where the Jews of the city were recessed in the fifteenth century. In this book a building stands out above the others, the house of the Cordon of the fifteenth century. In "Under the Shadow of the Temple" the author brings us closer to the Cathedral of Santa Maria or "the old one", the name used by the Vitorians. And very close appears the Square of the White Virgin, the Arquillos or the Plaza del Machete environments related to the trilogy of Eva García Sáenz de Urturi: "The silence of the white city", "The rites of the water" and the "Lords of time". We will travel through time by the hand of the book "Crazy Who Don't Seem So Much" by Julio Corral San Román and "El sacamantecas" by Jesús Del Val that tells us about the darkest story of Vitoria with characters such as the Sacmantecas of the early nineteenth century or the settings of Alvaro Arbina's novel "The Woman of the Clock" that takes us to the war of Independence against Napoleon.
