Vitoria-Gasteiz is the Basque Country's capital city — and most visitors to the region have no idea it exists.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Vitoria-Gasteiz's old town on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Follow clues to the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, La Catedral de Santa María, and Palacio Escoriaza-Esquivel — three landmarks hidden in one of Spain's most overlooked historic centres
• Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure
• Works for families, couples, and friend groups; photo challenges reveal the details that most visitors never notice
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Spanish and English.
The Basque Country has been keeping this capital quiet for centuries — your phone is about to let the secret out.

What to expect
At the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca — the city's main square, famous for its monument to the 1813 Battle of Vitoria — challenges explore the square's architecture and the battle that changed the course of the Napoleonic Wars.
The trail leads into the old town to La Catedral de Santa María, a restored Gothic cathedral with towers offering views across the city — questions here probe the centuries of construction and the painstaking restoration process.
At the Palacio Escoriaza-Esquivel, a Renaissance palace with a plateresque doorway, you'll tackle riddles about its remarkable survival and the family that built it.
The full trail takes around two hours at your own pace, with no guide and no fixed start time.
