The south of the Rioja Alavesa, separated from the plain of Vitoria by the Cantabrian and Toloño mountains, is known for its vineyards, orchards and olive groves. The industry, driven mainly by hydroelectric plants are concentrated in Vitoria.

The Purón River flows through the middle, creating a wildlife refuge. There is a rural interpretation center in the park for visitors, as well as nine marked trails of different lengths and difficulties in walking them.
Further north is the Gorbeia Natural Park, a vast mountain range covering Alava and Bizkaia provinces. Its highest point is Mount Gorbeia, 1,480 metres high and crowned by an enormous cross. It is one of the most popular parks for adventure sports, especially for its mountaineering routes. You can also practice trekking and mountain biking.
