A little treat in century-old confectionery shops

Vitoria-Gasteiz offers a sweet tour for those looking to try the local pastries. Vasquitos, Nesquitas and other speciality pastries including goxua (Basque cream dessert), canutillos (cream-stuffed pastry cones), grandma’s turrón (nougat), and rocas (almond and chocolate rock cakes), truffles, etc., reflect the city’s traditions and its taste for artisan products. Perfect as a gift or to round off a meal in style at restaurants in the Old Town and Ensanche neighbourhood. These specialities have become part of the local identity and surprise visitors to the capital of Álava.
