The park has a story, of course; very historical! Back in the day, in, like, the mid-19th century, it used to be part of a convent before some folks thought it would be, well, very nice to transform it to a park for everyone in town. You know, La Florida’s layout copies them Romanticist gardens popular a long time ago, which give it this air of elegance and history, in a way. Seemingly, strolling through its paths is that kinda feeling you get when stepping back a moment to other days gone by.

Anillo Verde: Connect with Nature
Is that a ring but for parks? Very green parks! The Anillo Verde, a name that basically means “Green Ring,” surrounds Vitoria. What this green ring does is that connects a bunch of the bigger parks with trails for biking, walking and generally getting closer to that outdoor goodness you’ve been missing, usually. Is that your place for anything coming under “outdoors”.
The paths often tend to be fairly flat, therefore that is a neat way to check around Vitoria. You might see how, even though it is a city, it can still bring that outdoorsy feel.

Salburua Park: A Wetland Wonderland
Part of the Anillo Verde, Salburua Park is, like, a wetlands paradise so located just outside Vitoria. Picture yourself strolling over, very picturesque walkways, spotting a variety of birds, in other words all sorts from the little birdies to birds bigger in size. This spot used to be farmlands, that’s a very old fact that goes a ways back, and they very gradually were returned as wetlands for the wildlife. It is so cool!
I swear this is not one to skip with cameras! So, it is so amazing how this ecosystem of water that collects rains can get teeming of life so much it sustains. Just the water, too it’s almost.

Is that actually big in its parkness! The way to properly be out, arguably, the trails might have lots of hills that may, maybe, present those tougher hikes in store for those who think their hike experience levels make themselves “avid hikers”. But so is okay that you rather prefer gentle wanders, of course that fits this place too as many paths happen to be more calm; it’s like an all size fit place if size stood for skill, very different skills!
