Host family accommodation in Vitoria

Vitoria is located on a plain surrounded by mountains. Its circular urban plan grows out from its medieval quarter, which dominates the city from the central hilltop.

Since the Spanish school is located in the centre of Vitoria, this urban organization means the accommodations are at most 25-30 minutes from the school on foot.

If you do not feel like walking, all the city’s quarters are connected to the centre by urban buses or tram, running every 10-15 minutes.
