  1. Vitoria, for me, is the unsung gem of the Spanish Basque region. Bilbao has the urban grit and steel (but also a small and delightful Casco Viejo), San Sebastián has the curvaceous lines of the beachfront, but for me, a vastly overrated rest-of-town (essentially one small plaza - Consti - and a couple of streets is worth your time), with most of it being an anonymous, nondescript, apartment-blocky mess. Pamplona (is it really Basque?) is lovely, with an extensive and beautiful Casco Viejo cancelling out the drab blight of so many a Spanish city - its bathetic suburbs. But Vitoria. The name alone woos. The city itself backs up the titular promise with a glorious undulating old centre with two of the best plazas in all Spain and web of narrow streets worth a day’s rambling of anyone’s time.
