VITORIA
Officially Vitoria-Gasteiz (in Basque Gasteiz), is a city and municipality in Spain, capital of the province of Álava and official seat of the Parliament and Government of the autonomous community of the Basque Country. In the absence of more explicit legal recognition, it is considered the de facto capital of the Basque Country as it is the seat of the common institutions. In 2012 it was the European Green Capital.
