Explore The Ancient Salt Valley Of Anana And The Gothic Architecture Of Vitoria Gasteiz
Salt is the only edible stone found in nature, which makes the Salt Valley of Anana a truly unique cultural site with over 6,500 years of history. Currently in the process of becoming a World Heritage Site, this location offers a fascinating look at ancient production methods. The morning begins east of Vitoria-Gasteiz, where participants learn about salt properties, the salt springs, and the production process that remains particularly active during the warm summer months.
A guided tour of the valley includes the Salt Spa, where visitors can soak their hands and feet to enjoy its therapeutic benefits. The visit concludes with a tasting of different types of salts, such as mineral salt, Arbequina salt, and wine salt. This sensory experience highlights the versatility of the product and its importance to the local economy. Afterward, the group transfers to Vitoria for a traditional lunch at a local restaurant to enjoy regional specialties.
In the afternoon, participants visit the Gothic-style Cathedral of Santa Maria, perched atop the hill where the original city was founded above the village of Gasteiz. This architectural gem is internationally renowned for inspiring the sequel to Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth, and a guided tour is included. The cathedral's intricate design and historical significance provide a deep dive into the medieval past of the region, offering visitors a glimpse into the architectural mastery of the era.
The experience continues with a guided walk through the old part of Getaria, visiting the Church of San Salvador. This coastal town adds a maritime dimension to the day, contrasting with the inland salt mines and the urban history of Vitoria. By combining natural wonders, culinary tastings, and architectural exploration, this tour provides a comprehensive overview of the region's heritage. It is a perfect day trip for those interested in history, culture, and the unique landscapes of Spain.
