Vitoria-Gasteiz

Vitoria-Gasteiz sits on a plateau at 570m elevation in the Basque Country, making it a hub for hilly road cycling and mountain biking rather than flat running. The Prueba Ciclista Vitoria is a 204km road race that defines the region's cycling calendar, while the Marcha BTT Mercedes-Benz and Prueba Cicloturista Vitoria draw serious gravel and endurance riders into the rolling terrain around the city. Runners find the compact historic centre manageable, but the real action for cyclists is the sustained climbs through the surrounding Arava valley and into the Pyrenean foothills.
