Through the region of Ayala.

This valley has played an important part in the history of Alava and the Basque Country as a stopping place for travellers travelling between Castile and the Cantabrian coast. From the architectural viewpoint, a major feature of the valley is its towers and fortified houses, constructions of a defensive nature dating from the medieval era.
