Agurain/Salvatierra, Municipality in Álava, Spain.
Agurain/Salvatierra sits at 605 meters above sea level within the Basque Autonomous Community, surrounded by agricultural lands and rolling hills.
King Alfonso X established Salvatierra in 1256 as a strategic outpost near the Kingdom of Navarre, with defensive walls and two fortified churches.
The municipality maintains both Spanish and Basque languages, reflecting its position within the cultural intersection of northern Spain and the Basque region.
The town provides direct access to major transportation routes, including the N-1/E-5 highway and the Northern Railway connecting to larger Spanish cities.
Two large fortified churches mark the northern and southern boundaries of the medieval town layout, demonstrating the original 13th-century urban planning.
