Vitoria-Gasteiz has a green lifestyle. This is the motto of the Capital City of the Basque Country, a city with a high quality of life which has known how to grow by combining its medieval past with the development of a sustainable, modern and industrial city. Among its natural heritage, we highlight its Green Belt: 33 kilometers of paths, woods, wetlands and small hills recovered in order to enjoy nature, leisure and sports thanks to the pioneer ecological restoration project which has earned international acclaim for Vitoria-Gasteiz with prestigious awards such as the European Green Capital award (EU, 2012) and the Global Green City Award (U.N., 2019).
One of the main features of Amurrio is, without a doubt, the Salto del Nervión Waterfall, a treat for the eyes and a bracing experience as you realise you are in the presence of something that is unique.
But Amurrio has so much more to offer. It combines its natural beauty with the character of the local people, the product of Basque culture and traditions. There are routes and walks for you to enjoy the natural environment and the landscape: parks, unique museums, and a full programme of events so that you can meet people and personally experience Basque traditions.
Welcome to Amurrio!
