Free Tour "Times of Power" in Vitoria-Gasteiz
History, secrets, and curiosities in a unique tour
Is this your first time in Vitoria? Or do you think you've already seen it? This tour will help you see it through a whole new lens.
Discover the power that has shaped the city's history .
We'll stroll among imposing palaces, temples, and buildings that have been the epicenter of political, economic, and religious power throughout the centuries. Here, there were no fratricidal struggles like those portrayed in some famous TV series, but I'll tell you about the burulleros ( a kind of "burulleros") who worked in the city, the "bloody" machete in Machete Square, why Ken Follett has a statue in the Old Cathedral, and the curious "hole" in the middle of Álava.
In addition, we will explore one of the most majestic areas of Vitoria, where the Ajuria Enea Palace stands, current residence of the Lehendakari and symbol of democratic power.

Casco Viejo (Ancient Power):
Plaza de la Virgen Blanca (Meeting point)

Hey there! Great to have you here 🧭
They say that to truly know a city, you don’t need a history textbook—you just need a local friend. Well, guess what? From now on, I’m that friend.
Forget about rigid guides who mindlessly recite dates and overwhelm you with dry facts. What I love is sharing the secrets of Vitoria-Gasteiz exactly how I’d tell them to a buddy over a drink in the old quarter. We’re going to laugh, we’re going to spot those hidden details everyone else walks right past, and, above all, we’ll get serious when the history demands it—because the past of our medieval old town is absolutely fascinating.
My signature experience is called “Times of Power”, and it’s the exact tour I take my own friends on when they visit me for the first time.
I’ll take you deep into a Vitoria ruled by big families, grand palaces, and medieval power struggles. Apart from recommendations, seeing murals and whatever you wanted to know about the city.Expect, great conversation, zero boredom, and the cozy feeling of hanging out with an old friend who is head-over-heels in love with their hometown.✨
Come on, let's do this! Pick a date, lock in your spot, and let me show you the side of Vitoria that doesn't make it into the postcards. See you there!
