It holds the autonomous community's House of Parliament, the headquarters of the Government, and the Lehendakari's (Prime Minister's) official residency.

The dwellers of Vitoria-Gasteiz are called vitorianos or gasteiztarrak, while traditionally they are dubbed babazorros (Basque for 'bean sacks'). Vitoria-Gasteiz is a multicultural city with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, healthcare, architectural conservation, aeronautics, vehicle industry, oenology and gastronomy. It is the first Spanish municipality to be awarded the title of European Green Capital (in 2012) and it is consistently ranked as one of the 5 best places to live in Spain. The old town holds some of the best preserved medieval streets and plazas in the region and it is one of very few cities to hold two Cathedrals. The city also holds well known festivals such as the Azkena rock festival, FesTVal, Vitoria-Gasteiz jazz festival, and the Virgen Blanca Festivities.

Restaurante africano con comida sabrosa. Todos los platos con base de arroz. Se echa un poco de menos algo más de variedad.

I came across this restaurant more by chance as I was asking the way from a complete stranger and she highly recommended the seafood here. The location is very good although quite hard to find as the top entrance by the Cathedral has been blocked off and points along the square when in fact it is actually underneath the Cathedral square. It sits off the lovely plaza de virgen blanca. Part of the restaurant houses an ancient wall and is very authentic inside. We sat in the more modern part which was very light and airy and had lovely french windows with bougainvilla. Our table looked onto the plaza below. The food was modern but light and quirky. The fish was the best I have tasted in Spain and much better than the fish I had in San Sebastian. Their albarino wine was from one of the best producers in Rias Baixes and all in all I rate this as my best meal in Spain. Don't miss it if you visit this beautiful city.

Pintxos are great with top quality ingredients and interesting flavours (5*) but standards of service are shameful - they (the owner in particular) don't make you feel welcome and make it very clear that you are in their way. Don't expect a smile or any acknowledgment either - ideally finish up in a hurry and leave asap so that tables can be set for the new arrivals.Hello, thank you for your opinion. We're pleased you like the pintxos. However we're a bit confused as to why you think the standards of service are shameful. As is the custom in many small bar/restaurants here in Spain, we reserve the tables for guests who are going to have a full meal at lunch or dinner time. We let you know that you are welcome to sit down until the time comes when we need to prep the tables, and we're confident we do this politely.

We enjoyed our food and wine in Mano Lente, which has a really modern environment.The menu was written in Spanish (or maybe Basque - I cannot tell the difference) and the staff knew only French, so we had a difficult time picking food.It was a pleasant experience nevertheless and it is recommended for lunch
