Parabadminton takes Heidi to various places and last February she participated in a tournament in Vitoria-Gasteiz, in the Basque Country, Spain.
Founded at the end of the 12th century, Vitoria-Gasteiz reveals a medieval quarter where you will stumble across the most charming little corners, gardens and tree-lined boulevards, which make the capital of Alava a remarkable green space that does not disturb the careful urban layout, where medieval streets harmoniously intermingle with Renaissance palaces and Neoclassical churches.

The heart of the city is the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, presided over by the monument that celebrates the battle of Vitoria.
On Herrería street you will find the Escoriaza-Esquibel palace, with its lovely plateresque courtyard.
The cathedral of Santa María, also known as the Old Cathedral, is a magnificent Gothic temple which was begun in the 13th century and continued into the 14th. It was later remodelled as the city grew. In 1496, the church became a collegiate church, until finally, in 1861, it achieved the rank of cathedral. - in: https://www.spain.info

Plaza de España is one of the most striking squares in Vitoria. The square has had many names over the centuries, including Plaza Nueva, Plaza de la Constitution and Plaza de la República. Only in 1936 did it gain its current title. Most people come here to visit the Town Hall, which dominates the square with its vast covered arcades.
