Álava, Province in Basque Country, Spain

The province spans across 3,037 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including mountain ranges, valleys, plains, and the Ebro River in the southwest.

The territory became part of Castile in 1332 and later formed one of the three provinces of the Basque Country autonomous community in 1980.

The southern region of Rioja Alavesa carries forward a wine production tradition with numerous cellars offering local varieties and guided tours.

Vitoria-Gasteiz serves as both the provincial capital and the administrative center of the Basque Autonomous Community, hosting major governmental institutions.

The Vitoria Plain, situated at 460 meters elevation, forms an intermontane basin where farmers cultivate wheat, barley, and sugar beets.
