Vitoria-Gasteiz (/vɪˌtɔːriə ɡɑːsˈteɪs/, Spanish: [biˈtoɾja ɣasˈteiθ], Basque: [ɡas̺teis̻]) is the seat of government and the capital city of the Basque Autonomous Community and of the province of Araba/Álava in northern Spain. It holds the autonomous community's House of Parliament, the headquarters of the Government, and the Lehendakari's (Prime Minister's) official residency. The municipality — which comprises not only the city but also the mainly agricultural lands of 63 villages around — is the largest in the Basque Autonomous Community, with a total area of 276.81 km (106.88 sq mi), and it has a population of 242,082 people (2014). 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.

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.
