Agurain/Salvatierra

Salvatierra (Agurain/Salvatierra) is a municipality in the Llanada Alavesa that brings together a historic centre of artistic interest and a natural setting shaped by the dense beech forests that surround it.

The town's historic core retains the structure and character of a medieval settlement, with buildings and spaces that reflect its long history as an established community in the heart of Álava. Its urban layout and architecture make it a point of reference for the heritage of the region.

The surrounding landscape adds another dimension to the town: the beech woodlands that frame it are a striking natural feature, while nearby stands the Sorginetxe dolmen, a megalithic monument that places the territory on a far older timescale. This layering of prehistory, medieval history and nature defines the character of Salvatierra and its significance within the Llanada Alavesa.
