The Parador de Argomaniz is just 15 minutes east of Vitoria off the N104 road toward Pamplona. It is a former 17th century palace with panoramic views over the Alavesa plains and mountains of Urbasa and Gorbea. It still retains a powerful sense of mystery and romance with long stone hallways and imposing antiques. . The wood beamed dining room on the top (third) floor makes each meal feel like a baronial feast.
The airport is 60km from the parador and the railway station just 2km.
The 53 guest rooms have polished wood floors and huge terracotta floor bathrooms; some also have glass enclosed sitting areas and/or hot tubs. All come equipped with air conditioning, satellite television, heating, a mini bar and direct dial telephone.
Local activities include Basque pelota, canoeing, golf, horse riding, mountain bikes, paragliding, sailing, trekking and water-skiing.
