If You're In Vitoria, This Is A MUST DO

Lets face it, Vitoria is nice city, but not lots to do. I've been going there as an American married to a Spaniard from here for 13 years. However, I just went on a tour this last Christmas of this place since its been renovated - a MUST DO - great tour guides, super well done tour, great blend of modern with ancient - and its like you're on an architectural / restoration tour in live format - hard hats and all - you'll go places in this church you cannot go elsewhere - really, I reemphasize, make your reservations and do this tour.

A PIECE OF HISTORY
The last 9/11/2017 we went on a fantastic trip to Vitoria with our class. It was a good opportunity to ease off from exams and discover an historical and marvellous city. The thing that most appealed to us was the ancient Cathedral. We took an english guided tour but we make out the whole visit because it was very well explained. Our guide was very kind and she led us through the foundations of the cathedral and we also had the opportunity to walk on different levels such as on the tribune and the spiral staircase. The most interesting thing was learning the history of Vitoria and its Cathedral by mockups , which explained its construction from the first stone to its last improvements. We really appreciated the video at the end of the visit, which showed how the cathedral decoration has been changed during the years,in a modern and digitalized way. In conclusion, the gothic cathedral of Vitoria is a magical place where the history of this capital is captured. We think it is a must to do visiting the Cathedral due to its recent restoration and the well-adapted and explained that the guided tour was. We also want to thank “Fundación Catedral de Santa Maria” for its huge effort on maintaining an important legacy of our history.
