An aerial view of Durana, a village in the municipality of Arratzua-Ubarrundia, on a small rise on the left bank of the Zadorra, at 541 metres above sea level and only 6.5 km from the centre of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Its tile-roofed houses cluster around the roads that cross the village, surrounded by farmland.

History

It is the capital of the municipality of Arratzua-Ubarrundia, in the Llanada Alavesa. It is first cited in a document of 1025, and its name suggests a possible Roman origin, not yet confirmed. In 1521 it was the scene of the battle in which the Álavese comuneros were defeated. The parish church of San Esteban Protomártir has a 13th-century Romanesque portal, richly ornamented and well preserved.
