What to do and visit >> Shall we do some sport?

The Sport facilitiess constituyen una de las señas de identidad de la ciudad.

Vitoria-Gasteiz has one of the largest numbers of federated sportsmen and women. The city offers a wide range of sports facilities: You can do rock climbing at the rockodrome, skate at the velodrome or at the ice rink, play Basque "pelota" at one of the frontons..... In most cases (such as the frontons, the ice rink, the swimming pools, etc.), non-members can use sports facilities by paying an entrance fee.

VG is well known for its Civic Centres. These are public buildings equipped with social, cultural and sports facilities. They contain games libraries, book libraries, record libraries, video libraries and newspaper and periodical libraries, workshops, classrooms, assembly halls and large sports courts, and five of them have swimming pools. Today, the network consists of a total of 12 civic centres distributed throughout the city. All of them offer visitors the possibility of doing a variety of sports at an affordable price.

The city also has two large leisure and sports complexes - Mendizorroza and Gamarra-, which will be remodelled shortly, following the guidelines of two ambitious projects.

There are also a large number of sports clubs including mountain walking, cycling, baseball, etc. If you wish to do some sport during your stay here, you can get information by calling 945 133 702 (switchboard of the chess, athletics, badminton, baseball, skating, sports for the disabled, potholing, wrestling and sambo federations, etc.) or by visiting them ate Cercas Bajas, 5.
